if yall can remember a b-side called another lonley christmas i listened 2 the lyrics and thought that it couldve been a prequel 2 purple rain... in the song he talks about how his and his gyrls life 2gether b4 she passed away, the in purple rain hes talkin 2 some1n that also passed away... in any cae i thought that lonley christmas was what happened b4 or at the moment she died and purple rain was what happened after she died or vice versa... if im dead wrong and way off ill be that but thats jsut how i saw the songs and if ull notice they're also done in the same key with the same slow beat (and yes i know they're both ballads i just think they're related 2 each other somehow) what yall think? am i on 2 somethin???
p.s. 4 those that dont know where 2 find this songs its on the hits and b-sides of hits1n&2 from 1993 and it was the b-side 2 either purple rain or how come u dont call me anymore

i thought purple rain was about his dad in the film?

It was the b-side to I Would Die 4 U. For the record "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore" was never a single; it was itself a b-side.
