How do you all feel about the fact that quite often it DOESN'T snow in April?

You're not living in Canada!!!!!

I always took it as sometimes, when you think you're in the clear and stuff is lookin all sunny and warm n fuzzy, some shit hits that will fuck your world right up.

That's why the title is "sometimes it snows in april" and not "routinely snows in april"!

You need to quit or I might develop a crush.

Good point, and P being from MPLS......

Love a good debate!!

Sometimes snow in April can be a good thing. If you are a skier and it snows in S. Lake Tahoe, Nevada, Colorado or California, you'd tend to be happy.

When you're a kid growing up in the snow, one last snow of the season can be a welcome suprise and opportunity to make icy snowballs.

And, Snow in April may simply be a metaphor for life interrupted.

It does -that sums it up. I find it strange when people query lyrics on here. I've always taken it that way too. Its not something you can always say is gonna happen but it does so be aware and maybe dont take things for granted. Prince as the narrator is taken solace that this does happen so does not sink in to grief but can instead reflect

Although this is true to a point however, the song is realting to death or dying early in your life.

"Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
But all good things, they say, never last"

All this being said, this is why people query lyrics on here, cause people don't get it right all the time.

Aaaah, I give up. Okay, the song is about not making it to the liquor store before they close.

I think it means sometimes people die before they are old

I don´t know ... but I´d like that it was the meaning

To those that do not think it snows in April often you need to move yo ass to Minneapolis. I have lived here my whole life and it does that often. In fact you could say "Sometimes it Snows in July" (which does not happen very often but it at least happened one time which is a recorded weather fact in the early 1990's)

i always thought it meant we shouldn't put our coats and boots away until may.
