Was/Is Prince's song subject matter a lot tamer than we care to acknowledge? Prince throughtout the years has written countless incredible songs, a lot of them verging on downright profane. The other night, for the first time I listened to a old Kate Bush song entitled "Infant Kiss" about a woman's pedophilliac fantasy about a little boy. The song was inspired by the 1961 movie, "The Innocents" and let me tell you I found nothing innocent about this song! Though the lyrical content of the song is contentious, the melody is beautifully haunting! I am ashamed to say it has become my favorite song, lol! With that being said I know Prince has written an equally contentious song, "Sister" about having a inceteous relationship with his older sister, but I am wondering compared to other artists you have listended to do we give him too much credit for being the "King of cringeworthy" pop tunes or is this title befiiting to a Prince? | |
