The song "Gold" makes you cry or makes you sad?

It's a tearjerker cuz it reaches me the way no other Prince song has. I call like my "soul tattoo". It's very deep and extremely sweet, which makes it stand above all of the other songs in my book (except for Purple Rain, my #1 fav.)

DreamyPopRoyalty said:

Aww There are Prince songs that make me cry too, so I know what you mean.

psychodelicide said:

Thanx. My favorite thing about it (in general) is that it is so ambiguous and occasionally when I listen to it or I have it in my head, Prince reached me through it and it helps to connect me with him.
That's why I call it my "soul tattoo".

You might be a PurpleNeck if:

* When first listening to the Prince song, "Sex in the Summer", you think Prince is singing "Freak your body all night long", instead of "We can party all night long.

* If you're a female fan, and you're listening to a Prince song where he's saying or singing something sexy, you smile to yourself and think, "You wish you could do that to me, Prince."

You might be a PurpleNeck if:

You're not into football at all, but everyone you know asked where you would be watching the superbowl this year!!!

when-on Saturday night-u go out with u'r friends and at 2.00 in the morning a friend calls u up 2 tell u GIRL 6 is on tv....and 5minutes later ur ass is already sitting infront the tv.With pop-corns!

I dig this thread.

You might be a PurpleNeck if:

* Since the release of SexyBack everything JT says and does pisses you off.

* You only date short guys with make-up.

* You know more about Prince than about your own husband/wife.

* You can't have sex if Prince isn't played in the background.

* Your goal in life is to get Prince to notice you, even if it's just an angry glance.

* You have all Prince associates on your myspace friends list.

* You like all of his associates just because they are associates.

I do the same thing!

I think I may qualify :
- My mother sends me a message when she hears Prince on the radio
- people at work or friends ask me;how is P doing?
- All my PIN codes and garage code(I won't tell U where I live ) are P-related
- Passwords and nicknames 4 every site I'm registrated are P-related
- I point out 2 people how JT or others are is influenced by Prince/or rips him of.EVERY time...

and I recognize a lot of things others mentioned here....always putting
at leat one P-song on a cd and so on....WE are such a happy crowd

Sweet!

You might be a PurpleNeck if:

You watch the movies 'Batman' and 'Girl 6' just to hear Prince playing in the background.

Arabia25 said:

Heh, I did that in the case of Batman. I didn't like the movie when I saw it the first time, but it was on HBO, so I figured, what the heck. I liked the movie better cuz I think I understood it better.
It's funny cuz a day later, Beverly Hills Cop was on, but I missed out on the striptease scene where they play "Nasty Girl" in the background...

I love that movie, but just can't believe Prince wrote that song.

Your trip to Vegas is with 3 other raging fans (sister, BF, and cousin) and also Hubby who doesn't care to go to the concert. You go anyway and don't really care that while you're with P, Hubby is dancing/partying at another club. (Undoubtedly with beautiful girls)


This whole thread has been cracking me up for days! I have seen myself in so many others.

psychodelicide said:

I was just listening to that and bawling my eyes out yesterday! Even though the lyrics can be kinda corny at first, something about the music....just makes me

Your trip to Vegas is by yourself because you're tired of waiting on people to make up their mind whether or not they want to go.

YES I DO!

beautifulone7 said:

ha...

the last time I listened to it was on Emancipation radio Monday night. I didnt make me bawl my eyes out like it usually did, but I felt Prince reaching me through it. That's what so great about it. I'm so moved by it that I don't see the "corniness" of the lyrics. Just the combo of the chorus's music & lyrics is enough to overwhelm me. It makes my soul weep with happiness cuz I'm so touched by it. There's a reason why I call Gold my "soul tattoo".
(maybe I should add that to my siggy)

The first verse is just not very cryptic to me....sometimes I prefer Prince when his message is a little harder to decipher.

beautifulone7 said:

There are Prince songs that make me cry too.

beautifulone7 said:

I know what you mean. Prince's songs with cryptic lyrics are some of his better ones and some of my favorite ones. Sure, everyone knows what "Little Red Corvette" is about, but I think he disguises it so well. That makes it one of my favorite songs of his.
"Dolphin" is also good for those same reasons. I could think of a list of his songs w/cryptic lyrics that I love, but I'd need some time to do so, lol.

Gold and I had an instant connection at first listen, so I really could care less what the lyrics say or how simple they are.
