I wonder if the song papa is the same father of the kid from purple rain? Are they somehow linked together?

Thanks in advance.

Dunno, but that is one great song.

One of his best from the 90s IMO.

But there ISN'T always a rainbow at the end of every rain!

There is... just depends if you can see it or not!

the reason why I asked because on purple rain, the kid's dad shot himself because he knew that he hurts his wife by abusing her. In the song papa, he said how come I don't love my woman, he took aim and died. Except in purple rain he still lives. But they both shot themselves. Just an example to name a few.
