    This song hit different now. I'll never listen to this song the same way again. My husband was hospitalized with Covid when he slipped into a coma and his condition seemed to worsen by the hour. I was on the phone with the doctor and I asked, " Doctor...tell me the truth...will my husband make it out of this?" She said," Honestly, he'll be lucky if he makes it through the night. He was already diabetic and had congestive heart failure. I was in the middle of doing some housework and I literally almost fainted when she said that. I played Purple Rain while I attempted to finish my cleaning. Then suddenly a wave rushed over me, and I burst into tears. I knew he was gone. He coded 3 times that night, and on the 4th heart attack, he couldn't be resuscitated. He died at 2 am, on August 28th, 24 days after our anniversary. My world was shattered and my heart was broken into pieces. He died in 2020, it's been 2 years....and I'm still struggling with the grief, loss, and heartache. I miss him every day, hour, and minute. I stay strong for our 5 daughters, but some days the pain is unbearable and I break down in the quiet stillness of the night when I'm alone in my bed. So this song holds a special place in my heart. It was the moment I knew he was no longer with us and I had to let go. I miss him so much and I'm still trying to figure out how to adjust to life without him. He'll always be the love of my life. I appreciate the life and love we shared, and I look forward to seeing my baby in the purple rain. Thank you Prince, for creating this amazing love ballad that became a beautiful but bittersweet memory and soundtrack to the end of my husband's life. I'll see you both standing underneath that purple rain when I get to Heaven💔😙

    This is one of the best songs ever produced. It is composed in Bb major, the chords progression is absurdly complex and beautiful, through time the melody enters your mind and soul. Only an angel could produce something like that, after all, but it was Prince. Maybe he was an angel too. Rest in heaven, legend.

      @@AtomizedSound I disagree. He is often playing with extended chords. Making Bb major into Bbsus2 or Bbsus4. I’d say he is mystically adding suspensions and sevenths. It’s unpredictable.

      & walked forward " , that's what he did long years ago.
      This video is a reminder of how
      “ right “ his spiritual leanings &
      philosophies were! Now, don’t
      ask to debate me on the philosophy
      of time.
      I’m ALWAYS still learning; when learning is over, what keeps us
      here, engaged in day to day life?
      So often people disappoint; likely
      due to unreal expectation... But that’s a book I’ve not cracked. Um, yeah I tried to get cliff notes~ only to
      learn none exist!...
      back to topic at hand, I’m sure Prince holds a special spot in the Heavenly Choir. I can’t wait to hear him in concert again! teKie
