So here I sit in my lonely room
Lookin' for my sunshine
But all I've got is two cigarettes
And this broken heart of mine


So let the rain come down
Let the rain come down
Let the rain come down, down


bawl bheart

Watched a couple concert videos last night...not too much becuz the tears started again. Nobody like him in concert.. I regret not trying to see him in March when he was a couple of cities over but at the time it was too last minute and work got in the way. If i had known that would have been the last time i would have moved Heaven and Earth 😭😭
Thank you Prince for being U!

Yeah, thanks for the post. The single is sad in this context but it does remind us of how generous he was with his B-sides. Most artists put throwaway songs on the back of singles, but Prince often gave us 2 for the price of 1! It was always exciting to discover the latest B-side single (long before The Hits/B-Sides release). This is just one of the many reasons we grew to love him and his music. Some of his B-sides were better than some artists' A-sides.

It as been such nice weather I feel sad knowing he didn't get to see another spring/summer. The month of April will never be the same. April fools.......

This is first day, since he departed us, that I can listen to his music. '17 Days' is one of my absolute favorites, although the lyrics are sad, the music is upbeat.

I tend to agree, but what about Let's go crazy/Erotic city..?

That one gets bonus points for both tracks to also have an extended version. smile
