Anyone else obsessed with "Love Theme from Purple Rain"?

Discovered this a few weeks ago.This isn't the music that's playing during the love scene but some of the music is used in the scene when apollonia sneaks in prince's window and wakes him up to give him a guitar.
They should officially release all 3 music scores to his films.I think they are that good
The instrumental is very good.

This instrumental composition is called “God”. Very beautiful track indeed. It is officially available as b-side. And the good thing is... there is a vocal version as well, which was also released as a b-side!

I consider it to be one of the greatest compositions he's ever written.

Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain.

I believe Phase3 is talking about Michel Colombier's composition "Love Theme" from Purple Rain. A version of it was played during the scene when Apollonia gifts The Kid a new guitar.

There's also this version which I strongly believe would've accompanied the second love scene in the barn:

All of which are on the Purple Rain score bootleg in less than great quality.

I was stoked to hear the instrumental on the 12". But somehow, the drum fills toward the 2nd half really ruin it for me. He did something similar in the extended "Another Lonely Christmas," and it worked there. That song was reverby, echoey, unusual. But the love theme started as one thing and just went off the rails and crashed.

Of course, both of those beat the squawky howling vocal version of "God."

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.
