I would have to imagine it is Strange Relationship!

I didn't realize that I wasn't the only one out there that had complex relationships!

'another lonely christmas', because that b-side came out right at a time when i really needed to hear a song like that.

Mountains- I love the positive lyrics in the song.

Diamonds and Pearls

FREE! That is the song that SEALED me as a Prince fan!

Many tunes from SOTT (The Cross, Play In the Sunshine, Forever in my Life to name some) & just about everything from Lovesexy. These albums came out during an especially crazy time in my life and they really helped me get through it all.

It's almost as if something would smell of having been edited here.

The Holy River, becuz it spoke to me when nothing else did.

Musicology!

"The Holy River"~ This song will be apart of my life forever I think! It's so beautiful & positive & makes me cry sometimes!

"7"~ This song is such a beautiful, & truthful song! Means alot to me in diffrent ways!

"The Cross"~ Just a beautiful spritual song.

"Purple Rain"~ The lyrics alone can take my breathe away...

"The Beautiful Ones"~ Cause what he says is true: "The beautiful ones you always seem to loose...".

"Anna Stesia"~ It always brings me up, when I'm feeling a little less than full.

"Free"~ I love this song so much! Such a beautiful song, with simple, yet powering lyrix!

"Lets go krazy!"~ Just the song title is enough!

"When Doves Cry"~ I love the lyrics & the melody, & I love where he says:"Maybe you're just like my mother she's never satisfied. Like I said the lyrics R amazing!

"Play In The Sunshine"~ That song is such a feel-good, dancing all over, smiles all around, song! I love it! Really gets me goin!

"Starfish & Coffee"~ Y I love this song so much? I Will never know!I just love the lyrix!

"Sometimes it snows in april"~ So beautiful....

"Adore"~One of the most beautiful love songs ever written!

"Elephants & Flowers"~ Amazing sexy yet spritual song! LOVE IT!

"Diamonds & Pearls"~ So beautiful! I love the melody & the beautiful lyrix!

All the songs on his "Emancipation: Disk 2"! I love all of the songs!!!

"The love we make"~ Again, Just a beautiful song! It will be in my life 4ever!

"Emanciapation"~ I love this song, cause he was speaking about Freedom!

"Call My Name"~ Amazingly beautiful!

"A Million Days"~ Love the poetic lyrix & the guitar on that song blows my fucking mind!

"Cinnamon Girl"~ Such a imporatant message that ever1 should think about! I love the melody & the lyrix!

"Reflection"~ Just amazing!! I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH!

All of prince's songs have affected me in some way! I think mostly that is b/c he's so honest, & I can relate to that.

"Uptown" and "Sexuality" helped me feel like I didn't have to give in to society's conventions. I could be whatever I wanted to be and to hell with the tourists and double-drags who didn't/wouldn't get it.

"Something in the Water (Does Not Compute)" plunged me into the neon underground and made me see all the wonderful shades of purple.

"Computer Blue" furthered my interest in emotion vs logic and biology vs programing. Also made me aware of the texture of songs.

"The Ladder" connected me with the universal yearning for meaning and spiritual evolution, and drove away the loneliness that would, at times, plague my search.

And though I wasn't on the Christian path, "Eye no" and "Lovesexy" are joyous affirmations of positivity and faith in a transcendent reality that buoyed me when I felt in doubt.

I'm sure there are more, but these are the first that come to mind.

I have to go with this song too.
This song sums up all of my relationships. Current and past

hey you changed the title of this thread from "deep songs" to songs that have made an "impact in ur life" -- good thing I didn't answer the first time because it would've been a different answer

anyway, for "impact" i'd go with Anna Stesia

I think for me the song that really hits home is; " The Question of U" I like this because of how it causes you to think about choices that you make and how it will define your life. Plus the must was dark as all get up. Man, was Prince going through a rough time when he wrote this?

My next song would be "Do u Lie" that was a cold, cold song.I lied this one because of how it really makesyou think about another persons trust.

I'm just curious. How did you use it to your advantage? Please expound on that brotha.

Well since you asked..lol. That song confirmed many of the beliefs I had about relating to women on a deeper level than romanticized love. In the sense that I could be myself around them, without pretension, or thinking that I had to put up some ultra-macho front. I strive myself on being well-rounded, so this song explicitly explored ideas that would make a man more whole. You can be a man, but participate in activities that are not considered normative. I like the ambiguious gender roles, ie. washing your ladies hair, going shopping with her, cooking for her, going to a movie and crying together...etc. That's cool because your lady can see you as a friend as well as a lover. Furthermore, I enjoy all of the things he listed, with the exception of crying at a movie, its not that I wouldn't cry, its just that I'm rarely that moved. The understanding of those things have really helped me in the dating departmen and have also helped me to establish attachments with my female acquaintences that are deeper than mere physical attraction and or romanticized love. The only problem is, I tire of people fast and the strong bonds are hard to sever when you practice serial monogamy.

Still will stand all time...I alway loved that song because of it's strong message but it really helped me get through a very horrible situation in my life which I would not get into with anyone here other than Prince, because I would love to thank him for taking me throught those dark times. His words kept me going when I thought I couldn't anymore.

I wish U heaven, Anna Stesia, Power Fantastic, Still would stand all time. Im going through a brutal breakup with my wife right now and all i can say to her is "I wish U heaven"
