What Prince song ever made you cry, or tear up?

The Beautiful Ones
Adore
Condition Of The Heart.

Sometimes, when he really kicks ass on stage, it touches me, knowing how important he is to me, wishing he wasn't such a dick, sometimes.
All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

I know what you mean.

But were he one iota different than he is, he wouldn't be the man who was able to create the music that has touched your heart and soul so profoundly.

I'll admit, I've teared up before while listening to "Still Would Stand All Time," and "Love, Thy Will Be Done." For all of you who've had the pleasure of hearing it, how are P's vocals on "Love, Thy Will Be Done"? I've heard Martika's (of course) and NPG's, but how is Prince's version? Is it soulful, or sort of by-the-numbers?

Beautiful. One of my favorites by him, no joke. Really heartfelt and moving. I've never heard Martika's, but I don't need to. Prince's version is the shit. nod It's actually given me chills up my spine.

It took over twenty 20 years to finally cry listening to a Prince song.
And I have to say it is the 6 minte guitar solo of Purple Rain that he played on the live broadcast in 1985.
Starting to listen at 10 mins into the song until about 16th minute.
WOW!
I could not appreciate it at the time.

Another one is his version of "I can't make U love me"
peace and be wild,

Hmmm, close to tears or crying? It's happened a fair few times:

Adore
Goodbye (from Disc 3 of Crystal Ball)
Soul Sanctuary (this song brought me to tears many many times)
Saviour
The Holy River
I Can't Make U Love Me
Condition of the Heart
Anna Stesia
Still Would Stand All Time
Joy in Repetition (seeing it live cuz the guitar was so fucking good)
I Hate U
Purple Rain
Computer Blue (that damn guitar part kills me!)
Into the Light/I Will
The live version of Question of U/The One he did at Staple center ... gawd that shit was divine!

I agree, there is something in the song Purple Rain that just tears up your heart. I just sat here tonight and listened to several different live versions of Purple Rain and I did well up. I love this song so much that I cannot go a few days without listening to it.

Purple Rain has a feeling of Pain and Dignity all wrapped up IMO as well as other emotions, difficult to explain. Beautiful song that belongs in a Hall of Fame for future generations to enjoy smile


Sometimes it snows in april makes me cry sometimes, reminds me of a long time friendship that I shared with someone no longer here.

Soul Sanctuary and Holy River.....brought Tears of joy.

I had not read your post until after I posted my own comments. I totally understand the direction you are coming from. This song totally symbolises the friendship between people and the pain of loss in that friendship, it is a hard song to listen to if you know that pain.

Sending you a hug hug

Yup, this one definitely made me cry back then. More recently, it's the song "I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore."
"Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

Songs RARELY make me cry...but I Can't Love U Anymore gets me damn close. sad

Supplemental fact: The only song I can think of that made me cry was Space Oddity. I can't even explain why.
