Prince Sadest song

For me its comeback from the truth album am I right in thinking its about his son who died? that line "I knew that sweet wind was you" beautiful.

No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking!

Talk of Prince and Maytes child is generally frowned upon on this site. Some people get upset at the mere mention.

Just saying.

As far as I am aware, there has been no official comment on what the lyrics of 'Comeback' refer to ... it is speculation on the part of people who have listened to the music and linked it to events in years close to the song's release.

It's not really that people are affected about it like family - it's that whenever the baby comes up, the discussion goes in a downward spiral bringing up all kinds of rumors, accusations, and uncivil disrespectful posting. Very unseemly, and pointless. This has happened countless times, so the natural reaction to mention of it is "groan."

However, Prince did bring up this song in two interviews when he was asked about his baby and how he and Mayte were dealing with their tragedy...

THIS. My personal favorite of his saddest songs. Probably not THE most sad, but definitely up there.

"There is Lonely" is pretty heavy, too.

There's other songs too that he's done that I think are pretty sad, but not in a really obvious way - like "Others Here With Us", and "Anna Stesia".
