Does Prince stop playing songs that are emotional timepieces? Will we not hear "Curious Child" or "Fury" etc cause they would ilicit hurtfull memories? | |

More likely he won't play those songs much in concert because they aren't exactly "hits". Fury gets played cause it's current.
But if you get the chance, check him out at an aftershow or some other small club performance. Much more likely to hear the "deep tracks" there. "What kind of fuck ending is that?" | |

Eric Clapton still sings "Layla" and everyone knows that's about wanting George Harrison's wife, Patti Boyd, who later married and divorced him. I think painful memories draw out the blues component. The original had alot of passion compared to newer versions, which are slowed down. (Rumors had it, Eric was on H in that phase of his life) Time heals all. Those songs may not be a priority with the vast output Prince has over the years. P has many lyrics relating to past loves. Depends on what his mood is. | |

here's a song by Shawn Colvin
called Monopoly I don't know what else to do I would rather do anything Than write this song for you And perpetuate this thing In my head, in my living room With the usual arsenal Of broken chords and rusty strings To surrender all And I don't like to be so weak Retreating behind these lines The same old tongue-in-cheek Regretting that both are mine And I don't like to live this way This is really true But I know better than to pray now About what I just have to learn to do But imagine the nerve of God Letting me let you in And I thought I could let you go in grace I've gotta think again Because right now I would be bought and sold To see your face somewhere I would sell your sweet sweet soul Just to touch your crazy black gold hair I don't care what's really real I was someone that you'd heard of I saw heaven in your eyes And we made a deal That's what I know of love The Music, it never goes But I told you I hate that shit When people say "well you know, You got a song out of it" But I don't know what else to do I would rather be anywhere Than here without you " the embassy shut to keep the fools out " - as above, so below. | |

Or to put it more succinctly: "Every artist is a cannibal, every poet is a thief, they kill their inspiration, then sing about the grief" (U2 - The Fly) | |

I don't hear much talk of him playing many of the blatant "I Mayte!" type songs too often
