Sometimes It Snows still gives me goosebumps

Never fails, the intro to this song give me goosebumps all these years later. Unbelievable song.

True, but it's a pale imitation of soul when compared to MJ's following song...

'Purple and Gold' is all i need to say. When distant aliens catch ahold of the worst song in the universe, we're fucking doomed.

'April' is boss though. They would wonder how someone could fall so far tho'

Wow, what a conincidence someone made this thread, I literally just performed this song today for an assessment at university. Someone in the class had recently lost their best friend (unbeknownst to me) and they were in tears by the end sad Truly beautiful lyrics and arrangment, and I love the fact it was perforned live on the record; really adds to sincerity of it all.

I got two sides... and they're both friends.

Of course it was. It was promoted, it had media attention. It was attached to an NFL team. All Prince's own work. Don't make excuses.

I think an instrumental version would be sublime. I found a program that allowed me to reduce Prince's vocal somewhat, but not entirely. It gives the Prince vocal a ghostly sound, and brings the Lisa backing vocals up to the front. If anyone knows a way to remove Prince's vocal entirely, please let me know.

In my top 20 Prince songs smile a perfect closer for Parade album.Also, the lyrics are excellent.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

It's not exactly what you asked for but you can still enjoy the gorgeous progression and harmony from this rendition.

He performed a chorus of it during the acoustic set at Webster Hall.

Sorry, I didn't realise links other than YouTube were not allowed.

nod Eye know!! That is where Eye first got the idea from. He should do the whole song on acoustic guitar. In fact Eye would love 4 him to do a whole acoustic guitar or piano set concert. Prince gets a lot of props 4 his guitar playing. But he is a BEAST on keyboard!!! His keyboard sound is what crafted his signature sound in the 80's....

just out of curiosity...

why would anyone post a link on here that would get someone else into trouble

disbelief
and to think there are other people here who say silly things as

"Nobody wants to risk losing another source to a stranger that might be Prince's people phishing for info."

really now?! Occam's razor, people...
