Prince's Epic Songs Hey everyone...I was thinking...What makes an epic song? Clearly it's a unique kind of song but what is it, exactly?
I would certainly consider Purple Rain to be an epic, but what are some of his other ones? Would you consider Sometimes it Snows in April an "epic"? | |

3 Chains Of Gold [a horrible one]
Crystal Ball [a fantasmagorical one] Strays Of The World [a fairy one] Xpedition [a mindblowing one] The Rainbow Children [a religious one] .... [This message was edited Sun Mar 30 6:34:25 PST 2003 by IstenSzek] and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

Epics are loud. Epics are long. Epics usually tell a story. Epics have lots of musical changes.
Prince has got tons of 'em. | |

Can someone explain to me why this song is so loved by fans? I like it but I don't think it's all amazing & shit like the rest of you seem to. Any insight is cool!    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

I don't know why I like it so much, I just do. The whole thing is just wonderful. The opening with those haunting strings and that, well what the hell is thát? is that a digeredoo or something?. The tempo, the shifts, the vocals, the lyrics, that short breakdown with the murmured prayer "In Ur Name we Pray!!" The whole whirlwind of instruments and orchestration coming together in the last part of the song, creating an incredibly filmic atmosphere. The scream, the siren. There's just something about that 86-87 altered voice in all of those particular songs [most notably the Camille ones]. It's to do with that funk beat and those nasty vocals. I love all of those songs, they sound like Prince trying to Out-Prince himself. and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |
