Which songs reflect Prince's depressive periods? He has had some really sad, moody and controversial songs throughout his career and some are his best music... [This message was edited Sun Jul 28 10:05:35 PDT 2002 by REDFEATHERS] | |

I don't know about depressed, but I sure have heard some 'bitter we broke-up, but I'm still in love with you' songs. Like...
I Hate U (because I love u) Count The Days Wasted Kisses (I think, rumors about that song referring to his deceased son) Darling Nikki (in the context of the movie) Billy Jack Bitch (is an all out attack against a Star Tribune journalist) "CJ, Billy Jack Bitch!" When U Were Mine (we've all been there) "I know that you're going with another guy..." Blue Light This song is a personal fav of mine, because I've been there! Him and his companion were having some sexual differences. Prince was Mr. FreakySexyWild, and she was just somewhat sexual. "You say not in public, I say in the car" "We need to get wild again, like it was when we first met, close your eyes and count to ten, I'll be standing naked with nothing but a smile on, Blue Light..." I love that song Blue Cashmere Dont play me Blue | |

The Black Album is the main symbol of his depressive period I suppose, although it's never seemed that dark, moody and controversial to me. It's a fun, funky lil album IMO.
"Solo" or "My Little Pill" reflect depression the deepest individually and they have same effect on me for all the wrong reasons. Probably his two worst commercially released tracks IMO. | |

Also "There Is Lonely", originally from the I'll Do Anything material. | |

Excuse me? [This message was edited Sun Jul 28 10:58:14 PDT 2002 by Xpertlover] Yeah, it's just hear-say. but everytime someone is asked to interpret, or find the meaning behind that song. Quite often they say it was about his song. I'm not sure...I'm afraid to even listen to it that closely, if that's the case Blue Dont play me Blue | |

WASTED KISSES
CHORUS: Why did I waste my kisses on U, baby? Why did I waste my kisses on U now? Why did I waste my kisses on U, baby? Why did I waste my kisses on U now? Overdue – that's how I described the hour The minute, the moment that I first laid eyes on U I guess I knew that sooner or later this power Would manifest itself into a rendezvous Small dark room – that's where I let U smother In front of your [gut, tell another] Why should I care? Cheap perfume all over those burgundy stockings The ones I tied U up with I shoulda just left 'em there (Shoulda just left 'em there) Why'd I waste my kisses on U? Why did I waste my kisses on U, baby? CHORUS Why'd I waste my kisses on U, baby? (On U) Why did I waste my kisses on U now? Why'd I waste my kisses on U, baby? (On U) Why did I waste my kisses on U now? Personally, to me it sounds like a guy who killed a girl and is remanising about the event. Lot left to the imagination, like motive and was there a relationship prior to the murder. I get a picture of a guy who loved a girl so much that he killed her, because loosing her to somone else was too painful. | |

Sounds to me like he regrets having given in to temptation and having sex with this person... the tied up refrence would have been during sex... not murder... He liked her more then he wanted to an she was indiffrent??? Smothering seems more like he knows her mouth is gonna kick in gear after the facts to others... annoyed is what i hear...not literal... | |

The kill was implied by background noises in the song that start at 1 mn 54 sec. First there is the sound of a police car siren. Then there is the sound of several rounds of gunfire along with an agunizing scream which is then followed by the sounds of police talking. Finnally there is the sound of a heart monitor which beats slower and slower and then flat lines at the end of the song. Now I'm no expert on visual images relayed from implied meaning of an artist, but to me it sounds like there was definitly a crime. The cops showed up and shot someone and then someone died while atached to a heart monitor. I'm thinking he killed this girl and the police tracked him down due to the evidence of the stocking. During his encounter with the cops he was shot and he died in the hospital remanising about the event. Now I have been known to have an overactive imagination, but I just listened to this song 5 times and I still get the same picture. | |

When I first heard this I was really freaked out as I was in a taxi and when I heard the siren=s I thought there was a really bad accident. It hink this song is great and I can really relate to it. Not as a murderer, but just as me. | |

You are pretty Fucking crazy with your comments on Prince and murder. Go see a PSYCHIATRIST! Now with regard to songs I would say Solo , When U Were Mine, Had U , Until U're In My Arms Again,Gotta Broken Heart Again,Something in the Water, So Blue, Anna Stesia, Letitgo, It's Gonna be Lonely, Wasted Kisses ,Anotherlover, Another Lonely Christmas, 17 days,There is lonely, I Love U but I don't Trust U Anymore, Sometimes It snows In April, Purple Rain, Beautiful Ones, When Doves Cry. But I would say that they also deal with Prince's Frustration not just Depression over Broken Relationships and Heartaches. | |
