This beautiful Masterpiece brings me to tears EVERYTIME i hear it. For over 40 years ive known my father's name and for my own selfish pride after social media came imto play i would try and look him up but i would get in my feelings and delete. I didnt want to interfere with his life. So, on my 47th birthday i said to hell with it, i NEED to know. So i reached out to a yong Man who was named after my Dad and to my surprise he is my brother!! We talked for about 2 hours before i aksed him the burning question can i meet Dad. He replied, im sorry bro but he passd 2 years ago. I was devastated. On the bright side of all this i foumd my 6 siblings!! We arw getting to know one another but we are spread out over the country. Every year around fathers day i get sad. Prince i cant imagine what you were thinking of when you and your father composed this but i THANK YOU both for this beautiful work of art. Sleep in Paradise to the Purple One...
If you listen carefully, you will hear that this is the melody for Computer Blue at a slower tempo. It’s truly beautiful! Been a Prince fan since I was eight years old!
That's true. However, this song was composed by his dad. I guess it was a way of paying homage to the one who first, influenced his own artistry. A hauntingly, beautiful composition.
It isn't a longer version, sort of. While yes, it is longer, it's not the same recording-you can tell for sure. I believe they recorded two versions, and I'm sure a site like Prince Vault would help with the information regarding this, but it definitely isn't the same recording.
I love this for its melody and tenderness and just the piano. I also love the album version on Computer Blue because of the cool rock vibe. Just fabulous.
Why is there so much noise in the background? Somebody is walking around scraping their feet and making all sorts of bullshit noise distracting from this beautiful piece. Grrrrr.
Sorry :/ I made this record a few years ago from the movie. This version does not appear on the Purple Rain album unfortunately .... Maybe He played in live. By the way... The title of the original song "Computer Blue" this melody is there.
