I have this movie on 4K Blu Ray and the previous PR Blu Ray had a terrible audio mix layer. The HDR is a welcome improvement in terms of visual quality. This version is a much noticeable and a wonderful addition for our home theater collection. My theater volume goes into the THX listening levels and at least over 100 dB. ☔️☔️☔️
I tried to play this melody by ear for 30 years, and accidentally hit the notes trying to play another riff. The majority of Prince's songs are in F or B flat, depending on whether he was composing on the guitar or piano. F is the perfect 5th of B flat and B flat is the perfect 4th of F, which makes those keys share the same notes, except E is flat in B flat. Almost all of Prince's songs use the 1-4-5 chord progression. As do most of the hit songs in Rock, Pop, and R&B. I said all of that to say this...The melody on this version of Purple Rain is 1-4-5-1 starting at F5. Walk it up, walk it back down, then 1-4-5. His genius was in his simplicity. I would find the sheet music to his songs and get pissed because it as never anything fancy. He used a lot of open chords, sus2 and sus4 chords at times, but nothing an average musician can't pick UP. The notes 1-4-5 on any key will always sound good played in any order, as the 1-4-5 chords will. It's the arrangement of these notes and chords that determines if what we hear is the work of a master, or of just another starving artist.
I remember telling a friend of mine back in the day, "the most beautiful song I've heard played on the piano was Purple Rain". He literally just a few months ago after watching the movie after 40yrs called me up saying, "Damn, I just heard Pirnce play it, and I wish I heard more".
Then your friend has to get Piano and A Microphone. There is an acoustic demo of PR on it. It's so beautiful. He can head on over to Tidal where all the albums are if he doesn't want a physical copy.
Love this version of Purple Rain with a passion. I remember the first time i saw "Purple Rain" this song stayed with me along with Father's Song (computer Blue". I miss Prince.
I want the version on that tape SO BAD!❣ I actually recorded it and mixed together minus the pauses and it sounded MAGNIFICENT at the time! SOMEBODY PLEASE do this and make a video of it!
I love Little Richard…I mean Prince😂🥰❤️First time I saw Prince I immediately said to my friend omg he looks like Little Richard. Both beautiful and talented men. RIP🙏❤️
This man tried to warn us before he died about the people who tried to dispossess him of his own music and his own stage name. He talked openly about a hidden governance structure that superseded the one we think we have influence over. He told us that same small group also controlled the media, journalism, and entertainment, including the music industry. He told us they were altering the weather. And then he was silenced forever. His life cut short under mysterious circumstances. Open your eyes people. Everything beautiful and true is being taken from us. Everything that will result in total control of everything we do is promoted. Prince risked and ultimately gave his life to reveal a truth hidden in plain sight. Honor his sacrifice by seeking the truth. The hour is getting late. Hey!
I always wondered what Prince was thinking as he started playing the keys, you can see clearly something emotional is going through his mind as hes not even looking down at the keys nor looking foward or even up wards, he is looking to the side and i always wondered what he was thinking
Finding a ray of hope in Wendy and Lisa's song. Like:"Maybe there's still a chance that I make it. Maybe I can still keep our jobs if I do this right. If I manage to make this song really good."
@intellectualrebel5340 i dont know, to me it looks like hes not even thinking about anything that has to do with the movie, it looks like hes thinking about something in his own real life, i always wondered what. But who knows, maybe you can be right
On behalf of all the musicians and other creative peoples around the 🌎 you inspire daily and always will just like another funky genius Roger Troutman said... Now we got the Minneapolis connection Thank u Prince We ❤ U 🎸💜🥁
What a movie ....I still remember it from 1984 when I was 14...what a movie!! There's a lot of kids these days that don't even realize Purple Rain is a movie.
Notice how The Kid plays and looks up at the light. Prince knew how to draw one into a moment, a feeling, a song and make it a memorable experience. Genius. Unique.

I used to play this part of the movie over and over…thousands of times. Millions of times. Still cuts to my heart.
Ive always wanted to learn this
My momma loved this part.

My favorite scene in this movie Prince was my first celebrity crush

I hired a piano soloist to do it at my uncles funeral .. it was perfect I will also be doing it at my wedding.. prince is a love of my whole family
What a beautiful moment in time...when you had to rewind the cassette to start over a song. A truly amazing piece of music
Needs a repeat loop button.
so beautiful
I could just listen to this all day no words
The best ❤❤
Still brings a tear to the eye. Doesn't get any better than this!
Simple is BEAUTIFUL! The camera person is AMAZING!

I’ve loved this scene almost my entire life. Absolutely brilliant.

I wonder if he ever did a version of this with just him and the piano. That would've been Awesome
His last concert was the Piano & a Mic tour. He played it often. Might be able to find it on TH-cam. The Estate really needs to release those shows
I get so emotional every time he starts playing the melody on the piano. This scene was so beautiful. Where there is dark,there is light.🥰
I would love to have the piano version.

@@saulramirezkb5855 I meant The Kid, as the character.
@@intellectualrebel5340😂
I miss him so much 😞
Most Beautiful Piano Piece EVER
This is the ONLY THING I want to learn how to play on piano!
He made it sound so beautifully not just on the guitar but on the piano too and won an Oscar for the music score. Pure gold
<3
What’s the song playing on the tape ?
Purple rain
@@DailyGospelQuote yes I know that but a demo version ?
@@Djblemish5058 probably yes
This scene wasn't long enough.
Love this song 💜💜🎶
On behalf of all the musicians and other creative peoples around the 🌎 you inspire daily and always will just like another funky genius Roger Troutman said... Now we got the Minneapolis connection Thank u Prince We ❤ U 🎸💜🥁
I love what he did on that piano it was so beautiful
Pulled right up.... Needed this💜
What a movie ....I still remember it from 1984 when I was 14...what a movie!! There's a lot of kids these days that don't even realize Purple Rain is a movie.
Can't believe it's been 5 years.
Over an over 💜💜
I MISS YOU PRINCE!!! YOU ONLY SHOWED THE WORLD 50% OF WHAT YOU COULD HAVE DONE!!!
This scene made me cry so much as a kid because it was so epic, breathetaking, and beautiful 🥺🥺🥺
Notice how The Kid plays and looks up at the light. Prince knew how to draw one into a moment, a feeling, a song and make it a memorable experience. Genius. Unique.
Never noticed but seems logical to look up when one is creating. Spiritual too.
I wish prince would have done a piano version of purple rain
His playing is hauntingly beautiful 🥰
I just cried real tears watching this again. So beautiful. Could listen to it on a constant repeat. Miss him so much.
So beautiful
