Condition of the Heart Vs Sometimes it snows in April

Which song is the most heartbreakingly sad-I say Condition of the heart cos unrequited love is a living death whereby dyin' or mourning somebody who has died is not as bad as a broken heart...maybe Im wrong. Just my own experience I guess

Condition of the Heart shows that U can fall in love over and over again and die again and again from a broken heart-Snows in April is sad but someone can only die once

Has there ever been a sadder song than Condition of the heart..."...just like Clara Bow..."

They are both very beautiful songs, but for me it's "sometimes it snows in april". When I first got this cd many years ago, I listened to that song over and over again. It's one of my top 10 favourites. When I saw Prince live in 2002 and he did this song, it was the hi-light of the evening for me.

There is no comparison. Sometimes It snows has it by emotion.

Condition is a great song, but it doesnt even reach the feelings April brings..

Condition of the Heart has got to be my second favorite Prince song of all time. Sometimes...does nothing for me anymore cuz it gets played to death. I'd kill for the entire Condition to be done in concert.

No way Jose' !
Condition is so timless and applies 2 everyone-Snows is more of a focused on one time and place song-it cannot touch the subject matter of condition.

Just think "...my friends all say it's just a phase"

cry cry

Snows is like another lonely Christmas-quite a sad song

but Condition is like Solo-suicidally sad cry cry cry

Co-Sign-Snows is like so what cos everyone knows it as a 'sad song' but condition is like seeing a really beautiful unhappiness-if that makes sense-like when a french clown frowns- Snows is just like seeing Braveheart or Glaiator die-BUT CONDITION IS LIKE WHEN BAMBI'S MOTHER DIED! cry cry cry

Agreed!!! You can hear the emotion from beginning to end in Condition of the Heart. ..."thinking about you driving me crazy.." Not only can you hear the emotion in his vocal lead, but background vocals are amazing and just as emotional. Condition of the Heart is easily one of Prince's greatest creations.

Condition Of The Heart...a great tune...ruined by a vocal performance that is all over the place. Its worse than the first rounds of pop idol.

Sometimes It Snows rules. At Least he sings.

I like "Snow" for the complexity of a simple song. Wendy & Lisa really knew how to bring it all together. Sometimes, it sounds like Prince isn't really pushing himself to sing; others, it's like he's cooking with gas.

"Condition" is good, but at times it sounds like he's aping 1970s Stevie (the vibrato synth voice, for one). The only thing it might have over "Snow" is the lyrics. He wove some really sad, ironic situations in that one. Like "who insisted that he love her, then left him for a real prince from Arabia..." Oh, that's just like a woman...

lol

Condition Of The Heart for me. Loved this song the first time I heard it and as the saying goes "I love you more today than yesterday but less than I will tomorrow"

The piano crescendo just gives me goosebumps!
In the distance a light shines and I know it is mine. Someday I will touch it because it calls me. It says cross the line, cross the line. I know everything is not always what it seems, so I pinch myself daily just in case it's a dream

'Condition Of The Heart' easily. It's not only his most underrated ballad, but one of his most underrated songs period.

I love 'sometimes it snows in april'...but it can't touch 'condition of the heart'.

Easily one of his strongest ballads...ever. nod

I would say Sometimes it Snows ... however, condition of the heart is darker, the structure of the song I find eerie. So maybe that says something also.
