    Hey BCP, I personally knew PRINCE --- In the early days (when he played the local college clubs/ & in Minneapolis, at '1st Avenue', w/the Revolution). His guitar(s) were an extension of his body; his music was always flowing through him..........he'd always be scribbling down lyrics or music. Off-stage, he was soft-spoken & shy, but on-stage he was a force -- it is true that he was self-taught on 20+ instruments !! He did have a wicked sense of humor (look on UA-cam for clips of him being funny !). I'm so glad you are getting to know & appreciate PRINCE. Those of us who knew him & still live near his studio/ museum (in Minnesota) miss him deeply : - ( RIP-"Skipper"

    This is from his movie Purple Rain. It's a great movie. In this clip he's going through so much turmoil. He thinks it's his last time on this stage. The movie has everything. Comedy, drama and a killer sound track. Purple is the color of royalty and Christ. Prince was very spiritual and involved with his church.

  • @ilovejunetoo
    @ilovejunetoo Рік тому +15

    Hey BCP I hope you're doing ABSOLUTELY GREAT!!
    Here are the answers to some of your questions -
    1. What is "Purple Rain"
    - Purple Rain's concept is the end of the world. That's literally it. Why you might ask? Well here's a basic explanation:
    Our sky is blue and if it were to rain blood then Blue+Red=Purple. So it'd appear as though it's raining purple. (Although some people argue that Prince is singing about "Acid Rain" implying that Prince predicted the future of humanity to which I'll say those people are High on something)
    When Prince sings things like "Only want to see you laughing", "only want to see you bathing" and "only want to see you underneath the Purple Rain" it's representing normal human reaction. Imagine if you were told that the world was ending in the next hour you'd want to make the most of it, right? So Prince is basically crying to his lover about how he wants to spend the last bit of time with her (but she is in love with another and Prince ain't trying to steal her from another) so Prince says let me guide you (although that line is probably from the perspective of "God" more than a "Lover").
    Prince singing Purple Rain repeatedly is basically him reminding everyone that the end is coming so be with your loved ones and let Love/God guide you through the Purple Rain to whatever is after it.
    2. Is this Prince's #1 Song? If it is then why doesn't it have like a billion views?
    - Yes it definitely is his #1 Most Popular song. Here's a top 10 (from different sources)
    1. Purple Rain
    2. Kiss
    3. When Doves Cry
    4. Raspberry Beret
    5. Little Red Corvette
    6. Let's Go Crazy
    7. 1999
    8. I Wanna Be Your Lover
    9. Cream
    10. Batdance
    Prince wasn't a big fan of UA-cam and Spotify because of Bootlegging, Underpaying artists etc. His music only became available in 2017 so his catalogue doesn't have as many eyes as some of his Peers might have.
    I hope that answers all your questions. I'll gladly answer any questions you might have in the future. 💜

    You got a short attention span. Listen to the song instead of trying to understand every word. You can do that the 2nd and 3rd time you listen to it. Its a deeply emotional song.
    The lyrics are all over the Internet. This is an extremely popular song. You have a very short attention span.
    Purple Rain means God....watch the movie. He's singing about different incidents in the movie "Purple Rain."☔
    Dude, you're trying so hard to not feel the emotion of the song. It's ok, eveyone gets a lump in their throat and their heart pounds and teary eyed when they hear this song. It's a deeply emotional song, even when you don't fully understand it!! Welcome to Prince! He's literally has thousands of songs for you. Prince is his own genre.
    We ole heads welcome you to real music!☔☔💜

    Yeah when you said it should be 1 billion, I would think the same thing when I started listening to him. But I realized its because theres a lot of artists that were so big at a time but recent generations dont listen to certain artists anymore. Also Prince tried his best to keep his music off youtube, but after his passing, they ended up uploading everything. Almost feels like an archive.

    I think the #1 thing that differentiates Prince from other artists is his versatility. There are 3 primary ways an artists can entertain you: 1. They can just stand there and sing the song....think Luther Vandross or Mariah Carey 2. They can play there instrument in such a fashion that it becomes the focal point of the performance like Elton John on piano or Stevie Ray Vaughn on guitar. 3. They can entertain you with their choreography and their dance moves like MJ or Janet. All artists can do one of these. Some can do two, but I can't think of another artist who can do all 3 to the level that Prince does. Not only that, but Prince could do it with different instruments. His last concert was just him alone at the piano. Happy to see you getting into Prince. Hope you continue your journey down this deep rabbit hole, and don't let any negative comments discourage you.

  • @chucku00
    @chucku00 Рік тому +2

    Don't worry about the rude comments, they're coming from people Prince dismissed : fans. Prince didn't like the word "fans" because for him it meant either fanatics or people who are only moving air. And it's from this kind of people you got the mean comments, they are so full of their cultish adoration they can't even write in a reasonable way about their idol.

  • @jujumix2217
    @jujumix2217 Рік тому

    The track’s deep and abiding lyrics are built on a deceptive simplicity. As the singer himself told it, the overarching theme of the song is being with your beloved at the end of the world, holding on to faith or God through the “purple rain.”
    The first part of the track-and many of the following verses-seems to start as an apology to an ex-lover. But things get a little more complicated as the chorus drops.
    The song is a depiction of Armageddon or the end of the world. But fascinatingly, it isn’t meant to inspire fear or depression in listeners. In a fascinating twist, the track depicts a feeling of joy and fearlessness during this hypothetical apocalypse because you are facing it with the one that you love.
    The purple rain signifies blood in the sky-the red blood and blue sky coming together into purple. Few images so shocking and awe-inspiring have been so powerfully conveyed in such simple lyrics. Perhaps the most notable and potent lyric is, “I only wanted to see you, Laughing in the purple rain” just before the chorus.

    Purple Rain is a song about love and loss, life and death, beginnings and endings, in my interpretation. In this scene in the movie, the character had just had significant losses and the risk to his budding career was high.

    You kinda of have to be a little familiar with Prince to understand that this a prayer of sorts.The song is reflective of a relationship gone south and he is expressing his desire for this person to seek the glory of Almighty God which is Purple and allow the majestic spirit to manifest upon them, Rain. It has nothing to do with the Super Bowl rain. Its all spiritual. Purple, God...Rain, Spirit. People interpret it differently, but this is how he explained it years ago. A lot of his songs, you have to figure out, but they are potent. In this case, the person became an evangelist.
