'Sometimes It Snows In April' Appreciation Thread

I think it's safe to say that this is Prince's saddest song. I, personally, think it is his best song.
I love the piano and guitar in this song, and the spiritual lyrics and the metaphoric title/chorus. smile

Ahh. I haven't been able to get my hands on that song. I cried to this song the first time I heard it, along with falling in love with it.

Sometimes it snows in April is a very sad song.. but at the same time it's a beautiful song.

I made a cd where it's back to back with 'comeback' from the truth. Although I don't actually believe in reincarnation myself this combination of songs works wonderfull in times of sadness..

It's amazing how SISIA is becoming more and more popular all the time. Is it because Prince fans (on avarage) are getting older and therefore experience loss more often?

I agree. I don't believe in reincarnation either.

I didn't believe in it the last time, too.

I'll probably have a couple little sexies on the stand-by, and we don't want to upset them, do we? So you just glide by me and say...what?
