the "Rasperry Beret" appreciation thread As perfect a pop song as has ever been written imo. Timeless melodies. Of all of Prince's songs that were big hits in the 80s this is the one I still go out of my way to listen to. Never gets old. And the middle part where P sings "Rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof....." is unreal. What a great change. Love what they do with the string orchestral instrumentation. Wonderfully complex but still accessible. Have special love for the 12 inch version too. Love that cough.  Video kicks ass too. Wendy & Lisa need a big shout out for their contributions to this classic. Thanks you girls and especially thank you Prince.the music knows what your motives are when you are making it
listen to The Replacements - its good for the soul | |

love it love it love it !!!!!
thats where my handle came from and my avatar
- my first org avatar was a pic of the single cover- and my first sig was "the rain sounds so cool when it hits the barn roof, and the horses wonder who you are" i fell in love with it from the first listen. LOVED the video- ( that lil cough  ) just a really nice little song- great lyrics- great music
always top of my ever revolving list of Prince favourites seems that i was busy doing something close to nothing, but different than the day before   | |

Inspired The Lighning Seeds with their choice of name - even if they misheard the lyric. "You don't frighten us, English pig dogs. Go and boil your bottoms, sons of a silly person." | |
