How bout we take a break from the 'riff-raff' and enjoy one of Prince's greatest songs, which here he performs with such passion and religious fervor to inspire anyone, to say nothing of his epic artistry as a guitarist (he's listed as #33 among the 100 greatest guitarists -
Rolling Stone)
Here 'Purple Rain' has elements of gospel clearly woven into it, as He changes the lyrics in the middle from "And let me guide you 2 the purple rain" to "let the Lord guide you 2 the purple rain".....and further says "He says its gonna be all-right". Purple Rain for me represents the cleansing/refreshing waters of Spirit,....a holographic ocean of our own human experience, the sorrow, tragedy and joy, every aspect of human experience and ultimately the triumph of LOVE. Those who have grown up with Prince and his songs over the years especially during the 80's era can relate, if they were touched or inspired by his music in any way. His influence and effect in our culture will continue to live on. So enjoy the musical gift, as part of the universal worship of the Spirit that 'God' has infused and spread thru-out the cosmos. Music is a universal language :cloud9:
