live 4 love appreciation

"live 4 love" has long been one of my favorites where Prince gets loose on his guitar. does anyone know if this song was autobiographical when he says "kicked out of my home at 17" "a real family...now what does that mean?" if it is that would explain why it seems like he's cryin through his axe at the end.... sad

"Listen G, you are supposed to be striving to be the best that you can be,
So stop trying to dominate and push and shove...
Come on y'all...you gotta live 4 love."

One of my absolute favourites. Lots of emotion and very different from his usual work. Seems very personal to me.

Nice song, but I question the meaning after I've seen what Prince makes of Love.

The Love We make!

As the fruits from the tree, so is the soul of the man.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

Yes, but irony would be lost if you shot the devil or an angry snake or an illegal immigrant or something. neutral

Killer song from a killer album, but I thought he ran away at 13 or something....He also touched on something like this on "Motherless Child" another killer song with him being wicked on guitar.
