Sometimes it Snows in April

I heart how he produced this track, the vocals, guitar, piano where very stripped down and soothing to listen 2! One of his all time best! yes

Don't forget to give Wendy & Lisa props for composing the music, as well!

Really, it's a wonderful nod to Joni Mitchell.


thumbs up!

Yep this song has one of my favourite "Prince" lyrics,

"Those kinda cars don't pass you everyday"

It's a beautiful song.

Slightly clumsy in places but all the more beautiful and heartfelt for it.

It's a very simple, straightforward song which he sums up perfectly with the line:

"Sometimes it snows in April"

- Meaning things don't always happen the way they are planned to.

It's a very philosophical song. Accepting that death is part of life.

I also love the line:

"And all good things they say never last"

- Meaning life is full of ups and downs and that's part of it. You can never be happy all of the time.

I think it's a great little song.
