I've actually told people to play that as the last song at my funeral (the live version with Rosie Gaines, please).

mplsmike said:

Yep, I feel a bit sad when I hear that song too. Especially given that the subject matter is so happy, almost making what happened in Prince's life after seem even more terrible.

Arboretum makes feel a little sad. Completely open to interpretation, of course, but the melody just says 'melancholy' to me.

I've always thought that Joy in repetition is sad because it sounds very lonely

You can hear the pain in his voice when he sings this. It always gets me wondering who he wrote this about.

HOW SAD

I HEAR YOUR VOICE is very sad also

MissKrissy said:

I thought "comeback" was about his son. Not wasted kisses. Nonetheless,,both sad songs...

thepope2the9s said:

Yeah
Wasted Kisses wasn't written for his son
Comeback was

I can't love U anymore
So I'm walking out the door
I can't watch U die like this
When it's in lieu of your kiss

I can't look into your eyes
If I do I only cry
Cuz U seem so far away
I would be a fool 2 stay

Cuz everyday I would be faking
While my heart would just be breaking in 2
Oh, what a bore
I can't love U
No, I can't love U anymore

I can't make U understand
That all the riches in one's hand
Is like an actor without a part
But there's no real love in your heart

U can call me unforgiving
But I just can't watch U living a lie
So that's why I can't love U
No, I can't love U anymore

Well I dont think I have ever cried over his music.. that i remember anyway. I would have to say purple rain always makes me sad. I get chills when I hear it. The guitar in the begining always gets me

It's Gonna Be Lonely

Another Lonely Christmas

I thought Sex in the Summer off Emancipation featured the heartbeat? Did he use again?

Definitely Purple Rain, for me its the greatest melody prince ever created,its a dark rare composition ...brilliant.

DevotedPuppy said:

Your right but in the song wasted kisses, he uses a life support machine sound at the end of his song, and i think thats way its associated with his babys death.

But the answer to that question is i saw purple rain on the music channel over the weekend and just wept and i didn't even think it made me like that so for me at this time is purple rain x x

I Can't Love U Anymore
Comeback
I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore
Goodbye
Open Book
When U Were Mine

I don´t know "I can´t love U anymore", is it an outtake?

My saddest Prince-Song would probably be

I love U But I Don´t Trust U Anymore

anybody ever cried on "The Ladder"?

somebody I used to date
tried his best not to cry
while the song was playing
but he got choked up

I never understood why
because I don't listen to that song much
sounds like "Purple Rain pt. 2" to me

Flowerz said:

i deffinatly can agree, i can relate to the song.

SOLO


it could almost be translated to "so low"

"FREE", the first time I heard it I shed a tear, not sad but has something in it that may cause you to have that pain in your stomach and chest which brings on the quivering lip.
Come to think of it 1999 is one cracking album.

Happy EARTH Day 2 all.

Sometimes it snows in April

I don't know that i've cried, but it does make me sad sometimes when i listen to it!

BoySimon said:

That's the song we're talking about
I haven't heard anyone say anything about him using in another song

Open Book.


of all of his sad songs, lyrically and musically, this one creates the perfect mood.

sorry - misread some of the comments.

Don't Talk 2 Strangers

Little darlin', gotta go now
Don't know when I'll be comin' back
Got my future all planned out
I got my bags packed
Things don't always turn out right
That's just the way it goes
Before I leave U
There's just a few things U should know

Don't talk 2 strangers
Don't forget 2 say your prayers at night
Remember God, He made U
And one day He'll make everything alright
Don't cross on a yellow
U always got 2 wait 4 a green light
Remember God, He made U
One day He'll make everything alright

Alright

Little darlin', gotta go now
Don't worry, U'll be just fine
When it comes 2 good luck
I just know, I just know U'll always be the first in line

Nobody will ever love U as much as I do
But that doesn't mean other people won't love U 2

Don't talk 2 strangers
Don't forget 2 say your prayers at night
Remember God, He made U
And one day He'll make everything alright
Don't cross on a yellow
U always got 2 wait 4 a green light
Remember God, He made U
And one day He'll make things alright

Alright
Make everything alright
Alright

Little darlin', gotta go now
Got my future all planned out
Before I go, listen...

Don't talk 2 strangers
Don't forget 2 say your prayers at night
Remember God, He made U
One day He'll make everything alright

This song reminds me of the one that got away.We came so close to heaven on earth but circumstances caused her to leave me.I get misty eyed just thinking about it.

i wonder

Honestly, The Beautiful Ones almost put me to tears the first time I listened to it in full. Though that might be in part due to it striking a personal chord with me. Still, the song definitely has that desperate, hurt sound to it, that can really evoke emotion. A real masterpiece.
