    Prince played a concert in Lianne’s living room.
    She joked about him coming to London to play in her living room and he showed up. He played an actual show. I saw pictures but no video.

    In my opinion she has the best voice in the music industry. Her tone is so rich, unique, soulful and her voice has grown in terms of power, especially with her new song bittersweet. I feel every emotion when she sings anything ❤️

    Great tribute, she would have made Prince proud. One of my favorite Prince songs. I was born in April 50 years ago and it snowed that day. This song has a lot of meaning to me. Prince’s music was the soundtrack to my life growing up

      April baby as well. He died on my birthday and I remember my mom crying in the Kroger parking lot when we heard. I’ve loved Lianne since I bought her first cd. To know he admired her as much as I did just makes this all so sweet! 🥲

      She did make him proud. He found her online. Put her up in one of his flatts. She sings on his art official age album. She's astonishingly good.

    Tracy died soon after our long fought civil war
    Just after I'd wiped away his last tear
    I guess he's better off than he was before,
    A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
    I used to cry for Tracy because he was my only friend
    Those kind of cars don't pass you every day
    I used to cry for Tracy 'cause I wanted to see him again,
    But sometimes sometimes life ain't always the way...
    Sometimes it snows in April
    Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
    Sometimes I wish life was never ending,
    And all good things, they say, never last
    Springtime was always my favorite time of year,
    A time for lovers holding hands in the rain
    Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
    Always cry for love, never cry for pain
    He used to say so strong unafraid to die
    Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
    No, staring at his picture I realized
    No one could cry the way my Tracy cried
    Sometimes it snows in April
    Sometimes I feel so bad
    Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
    And all good things, they say, never last
    I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
    I know that he has found another friend
    Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow
    Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again
    Sometimes it snows in April
    Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
    Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
    But all good things, they say, never last
    All good things that say, never last
    And love, it isn't love until it's past

    "Sometimes It Snows In April"
    Tracy died soon after our long fought civil war
    Just after I'd wiped away his last tear
    I guess he's better off than he was before,
    A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
    I used to cry for Tracy because he was my only friend
    Those kind of cars don't pass you every day
    I used to cry for Tracy 'cause I wanted to see him again,
    But sometimes sometimes life ain't always the way...
    Sometimes it snows in April
    Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
    Sometimes I wish life was never ending,
    And all good things, they say, never last
    Springtime was always my favorite time of year,
    A time for lovers holding hands in the rain
    Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
    Always cry for love, never cry for pain
    He used to say so strong unafraid to die
    Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
    No, staring at his picture I realized
    No one could cry the way my Tracy cried
    Sometimes it snows in April
    Sometimes I feel so bad
    Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
    And all good things, they say, never last
    I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
    I know that he has found another friend
    Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow
    Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again
    Sometimes it snows in April
    Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
    Sometimes I wish that life was never ending,
    But all good things, they say, never last
    All good things that say, never last
    And love, it isn't love until it's past
