Songs that you don't understand what it's about

U Make My Sunshine is about Prince wanting this girl to get out of prostitution to be with him right?

Also the song Cream, is that a song he wrote about himself?

Thanks in advance because everytime I listen to these songs, I get more curious to know what they are actually about.

Also what other Prince songs you don't understand what he is talking about?

Peace

I had a not-so-serious relationship with a girl who once said:
"What is Purple Rain about anyways? I like songs that make sense, songs
that mean something. Who ever saw rain that's purple?"


Got rid of her good n' plenty fast!
Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

Uh oh, does that mean I should know this, and that I am the anti-fan because I don't?

At least then I had big enough balls to ask, right?

My favorite song is Pink Cashmere, yet I still don't know why in the world he's making this chic a coat. Does anybody understand this at all?

Oh, forget it Revolution--I thought this was a sarcastic way of you telling me that I was a dumb ass for not know who Jill Jones was. TOTALLY misread that one!

This is just a guess, but I always thought: cashmere, a "coat" made from this material would be warm. Maybe he wants to cover (or coat her) her with the warmth of his Love, and pink is her favorite color.

Lovesexy. The feeling you get when you fall in Love, not with a girl or a boy, but the heavens above.

Jill Jones is the blondie that Apollonia first meets at First Ave in the movie.
She's a singer and one of Prince's first girlfriends.

So you're saying you've never wanted to see someone laughing in the Purple Rain?

Me, I've found the purple banana and evaded the truck.

They are the three chains of Turine. They're worth a fortune. Story has it they're as old as the pyramids and possessed of magical powers. They seem to have brought amazingly good luck to all their owners. biggrin

Jill is the girl who ran off with Prince and almost got him in trouble with the law .Jill became a member of the pre-Revolution band and made an imfamous debut dueting with Lisa during the 1999 video.

Anna Garcia was another tenderoni that Prince was very fond of .Miss Fantastic was a post Shelia E/pre Kim Bassinger Prince girlfriend.

One of the strange things about Prince is most people think he's gay but he has allways had superpowerful women that he was fucking. lol

I think the song symbolizes doing something special and unique for the one you love. A pink cashmere coat is something that is rare, so in the song, P sings about making a pink cashmere coat for his ladylove.. biggrin

I've been trying to figure out Elephants and Flowers. I guess it has to do with believing in the higher power and those that will attain peace by doing so. shrug
