Prince's 'bitter' love songs.. an artist struggling

Maybe 'unhappy' songs, should be the headline.

A woman "doing wrong" to Prince, hurting him.. seems like a subject for Prince to write a song:

Ain't Gonna Miss U,
Eye Hate U,
Dark,
Eye Love U But Eye Don't Trust U Anymore,
Nothing Compares 2 U...




these comes 1st to me, as "bitter" - or unhappy - love songs, about a breakup.. any more?


It might seems a little cruel.. but there's some beauty in it, right..?


An artist struggling, and then delivers.. art.

I was just thinking about this. it's certainly a theme he draws upon often.

Something in the Water

"Must be something in the water they drink
It's been the same with every girl I've had
Must be something in the water they drink
Cause why else would a woman want to treat a man so bad?"


Irrestible Bitch

When You Were Mine

Why You Wanna Treat Me So Bad

How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore

How can I stand 2 stay where I am? / Poor butterfly who don't understand.

I highy suspect Prince's unhappy love songs are written during periods

of time that he's trying to sober up or come off of his various drug

addictions.


Coming off of cocaine will get a man to write a song like

"The Beautiful ones", while having a bad acid flashback

will obviously get him to write 'wedding feast'.

I'm convinced eye Love U But eye don't trust U anymore was

written when he was probably smoking a load of MaryJane

to battle his crack addictions.

Whatever, the case, an unhappy Prince always writes

the very best music. Here's to wishing for years of

continued misery, and occasional drug use.

"Nothing Compares 2 U" doesn't really fit in that list...

This shit plays into so many sterotypes it is unreal that you are allowed to get posting. It is tired.

He needs to write those songs more honestly, which is to say HE'S the reason his relationships don't work out, not the woman, (or in Bria's case, the man). Thanks you, I'm here all week.

"Had U" was a description of all the albums Prince had done up to that point, one by one.
