Today is my Mother's Birthday.. Prince was her favorite musician and this is her favorite song.... And now she's dancing with Prince in the Purple Rain.. Rest easy, Mom!
Prince crying while he's singing is so iconic. He knew then that it was his life altering moment. I went to see Purple Rain with my Mom when I was 16. During this scene everyone in the theater was waving their hands in the air, including my Mom. I looked over at her and her eyes were welled with tears. Like Prince, she's gone now too, so it's a VERY special memory for me. 💜
My girlfriend and I watched this movie in Reno during the summer of 1985, and at the time we both thought it was a great movie with an incredible soundtrack, and a powerful message about love, but we had no idea about the pain and suffering involved in loving one another. Fastforward 40 years later, a career, 3 children and 2 grandchildren later, we now understand the pain and agony involved in loving one another and protecting a relationship.
My brother, who passed away in 2013 at the age of 16, once told us how underrated Prince was and that Purple Rain was such a masterpiece. So we played it at his funeral and whenever I hear this song, I'm taken back to this time right after we lost him. It's so incredibly sad to me and even now that I'm 19 and it's been so many years, this song makes me (and my mom) cry as soon as we hear the first few seconds of it.
I'm sorry to hear and it's story like yours is the reason behind me uploading this masterpiece ♥ Prince is a legend and may both your brother and Prince Rest in Peace ♥
@@elbarto9633 That's true:). Although we only had ten years together, I learned a lot from him and wouldn't want to miss the enrichment my brother was/is to my life. Thank you☺️
The day Prince passed away our local Radio stations played all his songs and when this song came on the entire sky was Purple in minneapolis, it's was so beautiful and sad I cried R.I.P Prince Gone but not forgotten.
I went to Paisley Park in 2017 in May to pay my respect it was so sad I wish he was there when I saw the news on BBC I could not believe it he was our Mozart he will always live in our hearts a part of me died when our Precious Purple one went to heaven R.I.P 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
I’m 61 years old. I have been a country fan my entire life. I found this stunningly beautiful song and video by accident. I’m so so glad I did. I can’t tell you how many times I have watched it. It’s just genius and beautiful. Literal chills every single time. November 16, 2023
Welcome to the culture started by Purple Rain in 1984-my birth year. If you're 61 and just coming across this gem, you're in for a wonderful trip thru Prince's history and why he's the icon he is.
This is one of those songs that no matter how many times you listen to it, you don’t lose that feeling you experienced the first time you listened to it. There’s something magical about this song.
Who like me is listening to this in 2025? Timeless! No words can describe this masterpiece of a song...to Prince, one of the greatest artists, may God rest his soul.
I’d also like to dedicate this song to my father, he worked on tour for Prince as a keyboard technician when I was only a few months old. We lost him to brain cancer 10 years ago now, but songs like this remind me of his spirit and the passion he had for music 💜
As a child, I remember when Elvis died. My mother cried and cried, but I did not understand. When I was a bit older, John Lennon died and my older sister cried and cried, but I did not understand. Then Prince died... and I understood.
Yes,yes they're somehow like a loved one you love them deep inside and you can't escape that love life is better now with them around it's like your heart and your lungs you need it but when it dies there's nothing you can do about it and all you feel is sorrow.
This was my older brothers favourite song, was 13 at the time. At his funeral on a day it wasn't meant to rain, we let his favourite colour (purple) of Ballons into the air played this song and it rained my brother still with me. I love prince and his legacy forever this song has helped me so much.
If I could take anyone who lived through the 80's to a concert, dead or alive, it would be headlined by Prince. I'm sure your brother Thanks You and is probably at one his concerts in the sky right now.
I saw Prince perform this in London in the early 90s. It sounds cliche but - for a little while - the world stopped still, I didn’t even notice the crowd or even the other musicians: it was just me and this mesmerising guy. That became my personal high water mark for seeing any performance; it never went higher!
I'd be honored if some Prince fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal performances of PURPLE RAIN and LITTLE RED CORVETTE on my YT channel in tribute to the greatest songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist of all time. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace and everybody stay safe.
I've always felt that way too. I grew up in the 80s n wore my parents by a copy of this movie to death. It didn't matter if we were walking thru the purple rain in a field of violets on the back of his bike going to old man Johnson's farm.. Prince was on a journey n he brought you along ❤❤❤❤
100% truth..This audio and video represent a moment in my preteen life when my mom had this LP I used to listen to behind her back. While she had to go to work and I was 8. I had Access to the stereo and records. 🎉
I saw him do this song at earls court around 96. He played it on his own, and when it came to the last vocal part 8000 people sang it.. totally mind blowing.
My father always told me that he didn't want to get close to me because I would suffer and miss him when he died. I remember telling him Isnt that what you are supposed to do? Well guess what? He died suddenly and it was a shock but I didn't miss him and I didn't cry.
My older sister dragged me to this concert in in 1984. I was a .Metalhead. I told my friends what I saw. They didn't believe me. My God! What a talent! R.I,P. Prince!
@@donjuan2421 It was not this exact concert from this video, but it was the Purple Rain tour in 1984. We saw him at Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas. Tons of girls there! Wow!
Un vero fuoriclasse, continuo ad ascoltare questo pezzo da anni, adesso ne ho 65 e penso di ascoltarlo ancora per molto tempo, ormai mi e' entrato nel sangue, troppo bravo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!
38 years and it still hits all the feels. My mama stood in line with me for hours waiting for ticket master to open, so I could buy tickets to the Cleveland concert. 🥲 Mom passed last week at age 80.
My mum took a job in a hotel gift shop in Glasgow when she was older, one day, Prince came into the shop and spent 45 minutes with her trying all the aftershaves, perfumes and soaps..she said he was a lovely wee man and an absolute gentleman
Thirty-seven years later, . . . and this song STILL stops me dead in my tracks, and brings a tear to my eye, EVERY time that I hear it. Love you, Prince.
In my money back and Andy palacz saying smile and you can't always get what you want but you can try sometimes you might find what you're looking for, Andrew w rajca is now only Andrew w palacz saying smile
Prince we are still here listening to you 2024, going into 2025. In a another 100 years after im gone, your music will still be played. Rip my dear knowing your music will live on!!
Being a guitar player and student for around 5 years, I know how difficult is to convey your emotions through your instrument. It takes a pure a master to make the music you think in your head sound the same as the music that comes out from your instrument and prince has done just that in the solo of this song.
The fact that you realise the challenge ,in conveying the emotions through the instrument tells me you are the greatest in the making....keep pushing....dearest
@@spiroberto I guess it’s an opinion you are rightfully entitled too and many will agree with your opinion, and many will ( like myself who thinks it’s a fantastic song ) also disagree with the opinion it’s the greatest . I think there are too many fantastic songs in the world to make that judgement.
@@mikeyhughes8992 least pretentious Prince enjoyer.Appreciate your witful response unlike other fans of this popstar. Hard to find someone with a brain in Prince's fanbase.
Is there an award for that, because i have all my life loved this song. It has always been my no 1 song. And i am now fully sure thats what purple rain is. Its his rainy days, his broken heart its his tears that no one saw. Purple rain is princes pain.
Dressed like prince, singing like prince and plays like prince. I Also have a hard time to picture morzart wearing a purple leather jacket with rivets on.
When Prince goes, "honey, I know, I know, I know times are changing." It just hits me super hard and I keep replaying it. I don't know why. I guess it feels like he's speaking directly to us and letting us know that everything is going to be okay despite the uncertainty. I love this song so much.
Truly great music stands the test of time, not a huge prince fan, but man this is one of the greatest bits of music ever written. Decades will pass and people will still listen.
I'm 56 now, and it doesn't look like Purple Rain by Prince is going to be knocked off the top of my all time favourite songs list.... nothing has even come close, it will be played at my funeral. Its just simply my song.
@@Stakwell Been in the music business for over 10 years I was 13 years old when Purple Rain came out and I've heard very few people ever mention him. He's extremely underrated.
Having Prince in my life, I sometimes think must have been like the time when Mozart and Beethoven were around, musical geniuses spreading joy and happiness with their music and never appreciated as much until their passing, only then were they truly appreciated! In a thousand years this song will still be played and people will still know the name Prince Rogers Nelson. RIP sweet Prince and thank you for making my small life special with your music in it!
Purple Rain was and still is a masterpiece by Prince I don't know how anyone can not like this song. Prince was very talented and at times treated so unfairly by some in the media especially not understanding the pain he was going through. Sometimes you never know what a person is going through unless you've walked in their shoes. Let the person without sin cast the first stone is something we all need to remind ourselves at times.
The Media needs stay out of everyone business n stop the DAMN GOSSIPING! Get your own life then you'll be to busy to Gossip we have no right to put he said ,she said shit out there ,because that's what it is everybody wants be the Damn Judge ! If where all judge then who will the jury be !
Shit there isn't one Damn person on this earth that is perfect nobody n people need stop talking about other people's life cause that's bullshit I've got bunch Boys well i call them my Boys and they are my family by choice not blood but none the less i love each n everyone of them the same and i have n i would do anything for them no matter what it's loyalty things with me i promised them I'd always br here n i will yeah they all got little caught up with drugs but before anyone says shit or shakes their head don't cause nobody knows why and what those Boys been through but i do i know more then anyone n they all at one point lived with me n i tried help n look out for them n those Boys have a big big heart n are sweet n good young men that just never had anyone that really cared n stuck by them n showed them their worth and they always made sure i was ok one would ride his bike or whatever every night after working all day on roofs to see if i needed anything or if i had food n money i would never take nothing from either of them but it felt good to see him have something that was important to him I'd just smile n he would tell his guy friends that came with him that he had better not see any of them come to my house if he isn't there i laughed said Boy he said Na i mean it ! No one has the right to judge or talk about anyone's life because like i say you know my name but not my story! I always find the good in someone n trust this they are all paying for what they did n that was hurting themselves n no one else. N shouldn't be because those Boys have already paid enough in their lives thats for sure and shouldnt have to pay more n should be getting the right help needed most of the time the people talking s*** and running their mouth are the people that are doing the most and have more to hide that's why they talk ! So next time you get ready to open your mouth and talk about someone DON'T JUDGE YOURSELF BECAUSE YOUR NO ONE'S JUDGE N IF WE ARE ALL JUDGE'S THEN WHO BE WILL BE THE JURY! TO SAVE SOME OF THESE BOYS OR WHOEVER THAT NEED TO BE SAVED !
He could throw the best shade... that side eye. 😏 Idk why he was so dang sexy... and his music pure genius that could baptize love or exercise demons. Never forgotten
Purple Rain isn’t just a song, it’s a cultural reset, it’s the oxygen you breathe, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world, it’s art, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted 💖
My philosophy of life: Don't lose hope on every choice & action you're doing. There must have reasons & rewards/lessons from them. Even nothingness has a meaning. Fighting for your existence.
It's a song about loving someone enough to let them go. It hurts so much and cuts so deep but also healing and helping to make peace with what could have been but wasn't meant to be.
My generation (anybody who grew up in the 80s) is truly blessed. There will never be another Prince. No artist today even comes close. Prince, Bowie, MJ... they were all legends.
I'd be honored if some Prince & MJ fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of PURPLE RAIN and MAN IN THE MIRROR on my channel in tribute to the 2 greatest musical superstars of the 1980s. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
Truly one of the most beautiful, intense and meaningful songs that have ever been written. Flash forward to 200 years from now, this song will still sound ahead of its time. You were a genius, Prince, you left us way too early, but you live in your music
I have never seen a musician (artist) sing a song with so much feeling in my life. Sung and played with a great emotional charge. Emotion and feeling bubble up with each syllable and chord. Prince: Pure talent.
I would like to dedicate this song to myself, thank you Prince for bringing me back to life every time I listen to Purple Rain. 40 years on and it still brings me chills and takes me to another level every time I hear it. Loving that guitar, loving the look of that crowd, there is NO ONE above you Prince!! You are on top of my musical pyramid. Long live Prince!!!
He had epilepsy growing up. He taught himself how to play all the instruments in a band..he was a musical icon that can never be forgotten..peace and love to you forever Prince..
I didn't know that but hes my icon I play gibson and fender guitars I have the original video tape of the movie and it pulls my heart strings every time I watch it and let's not forget wendy and lisa,,outstanding angie burke.
Epilepsy?!! I had Epilepsy when I was a kid, resulted in me having 2 seizures I can remember. The other one ended with me in a ambulance. I never knew he had it.
I'm 51, so when he passed, it was like a big part of my younger self died as well. Being born in '73 was a blessing. Being alive during that time was AMAZING! His music was then, and always will be, in my heart and soul. 💜
For two weeks straight after Prince tragically passed away, I played this song on repeat every day. I still get teary-eyed when he hits that guitar rift. This man was such a legend #RIP 😔
I want to Specially appreciate you for being a big fan. Thanks🙏❤️🌹🌹🌹🙏 for your nice comment on my post, it means a lot to me. I want you to send me a direct message via hangouts using my personal email. Also endeavor to add your name to the text so I can know you are the one texting because I don’t reply unnecessary messages. Hangouts mail: Princeofficiallivechat@gmail.com
“When there’s blood in the sky… red and blue = purple. Purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/God guide you through the purple rain,” - Prince said of the song’s meaning.
There are stories that in the far past the atmosphere was purple. More oxygen, bigger life forms etc. It's a hidden message. Prince was taken out by 'them'...
@@LANGUAGERebel he knew it too. We went to Paisley Park Monday. The energy felt in there is something I don't have words for. It was a higher level of consciousness type o feeling.
I listen purple rain less one time ever weeks since 1984... And I feel. all the time the same emotion... I m 58 years old... And for me it s the most nice solo guitar of ever
I dedicated this to my best friend who died by suicide and my late disabled surrogate brother who suffered a heart attack this past spring. RIP to both. Love you guys.
My sister and I saw this movie together. I was young and didn’t know what we were going to see. We told mom we were seeing some skiing movie. First song I wanted to hear when my sister died was this one. I can’t listen without thinking of you Amy. Miss you 😪
Thats sad to hear, but I appreciate that you had such a strong relationship with your sister. I hope you have a good day when ever you read this, you deserve all of your days to be wonderful!
I remember watching this at cinema with my sister Donna too. She died day of MJs funeral but this song is so special to me fell in love with Prince's music after that film.
I don't know if you read this or not, but I too have lost dear peaple and I know it's hard. I wish you bests and I pray for all loved ones we have lost. God bless
Wasn’t a fan in the least, back in the 80’s. Total metalhead: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ozzy, Dio, ect. Still a 57 year old metal head. As the years have rolled on, I’ve really come to appreciate Prince. Great song writer, laid a bunch of hot women, knew how to play guitar, wasn’t into children, unlike another big talent of that time. Can’t tell you how much I respect this man’s talent. Phenomenal song and performance. I’m here in January of 2025. I’ll be here until the end of my days.
I agree!! I love Prince and miss him dearly. This song and movie defined my childhood and teenage years. Thank you so very much for posting it. As his music was so hard to find on TH-cam for a long time. I know why though and I agree completely with why it wasn't here before. Thank you once again.
Watching on Sept 25, 2018. I'm 48 years old, and I'm thinking this: "I am so grateful that I can say I lived at the time Prince blew the doors off the music world in the 1980s. God has been good to me indeed." :) Thank you, Purple One. You poured your heart out up there. We heard you. The energy exchange is magical.
i'm 32 and first time i heard Prince was maybe 10 years ago, prefer heavy types of music, but i can't deny the fact how talented this guy was and how beautiful his music is. Top artist.
This song transcends genres...prince was a legend. Such an inspiration to me...killer vocals and his guitar playing is impeccable...he transcends any boundaries...I cry when I hear this song...pure genius.
My dad passed away 11 months ago. And a memory I have of him is when he would sit on the couch in the corner grabbing the acoustic guitar and singing this one. To this day, this song makes me feel like I'm closer to my dad. So close I could hear my dads voice. #letsdoit☝️ This is a great song. 🙌❤ Miss you so much dad. Rest easy!
My dad passed when I was 3 years old.. He was a big fan of Prince, on his funeral 1999 was played. My birth year, till this day prince will always be a connection between me and my father..

I'm 13. I love his music soooo much. he's really unique

I've always felt that way too. I grew up in the 80s n wore my parents by a copy of this movie to death. It didn't matter if we were walking thru the purple rain in a field of violets on the back of his bike going to old man Johnson's farm.. Prince was on a journey n he brought you along ❤❤❤❤

My father always told me that he didn't want to get close to me because I would suffer and miss him when he died. I remember telling him Isnt that what you are supposed to do? Well guess what? He died suddenly and it was a shock but I didn't miss him and I didn't cry.
This is for you Brody....I love you. I miss you like crazy, beautiful girl.
You got it right brother.
His amazing talent is impressive. His delivery of Purple Rain
@@sr2291 this is really sad
One of the greatest musical masterpieces of all time in my humble opinion.
Yes indeed too.
Hehe..millions of not so humble people agree 😊
Credo proprio che sia cosi
Hilarious!
We're lucky.
My older sister dragged me to this concert in in 1984. I was a .Metalhead. I told my friends what I saw. They didn't believe me. My God! What a talent! R.I,P. Prince!
I love rock and metal too. Prince was an incredible guitarist. Can you imagine him in a metal band?
@@micktheobald8611 Damn!!! I never thought of that!!! Mind BLOWN!!!
Look up the tribute to George Harrison where he does Eric Claptons guitar solo for "While my guitar gently weeps", OMG!!! What an underrated talent!!!
Wait, you were at the show when he first performed this???
@@donjuan2421 It was not this exact concert from this video, but it was the Purple Rain tour in 1984. We saw him at Reunion Arena in Dallas, Texas. Tons of girls there! Wow!
Un vero fuoriclasse, continuo ad ascoltare questo pezzo da anni, adesso ne ho 65 e penso di ascoltarlo ancora per molto tempo, ormai mi e' entrato nel sangue, troppo bravo ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤!!!!!!!
38 years and it still hits all the feels. My mama stood in line with me for hours waiting for ticket master to open, so I could buy tickets to the Cleveland concert. 🥲 Mom passed last week at age 80.
Momma had good taste in music. She remembers Led Zeppelin who are the best
R.I.P
May she rest in peace
Stay strong man ❤️
I’m very sorry for your loss.
My mum took a job in a hotel gift shop in Glasgow when she was older, one day, Prince came into the shop and spent 45 minutes with her trying all the aftershaves, perfumes and soaps..she said he was a lovely wee man and an absolute gentleman
Thanks for sharing that. 😊
That was awesome thanks for sharing
That's amazing what an experience!
Damn!!!!!!
Aww beautiful story. He seemed like a nice man. Loved his music too.
This is not a Song .......this is a Masterpiece
It’s both lol
Memories don't leave like people do they always stay with us good or they are something that we have .
Yes - you are correct 👍🏻😀
How do you not cry?? Amazing piece of music!!💜💜👈

100%
I agree with you on that
beautiful lyrics, flawless vocals, stellar musicianship and an amazing guitar solo hmm this song has it all
Love you love you Jessica
I agree with you Jessica. This song touches all human emotions.
No Words...Just 💜Emotions!!! One Of The Best Songs 💜Ever Written as Preformed!!!
Wasn’t a huge Prince fan but I’ve recently realised what a genius he was. This song is breathtaking.
That's cool. There are a lot of examples of his genius, enjoy!

Thirty-seven years later, . . . and this song STILL stops me dead in my tracks, and brings a tear to my eye, EVERY time that I hear it.
Love you, Prince.
Every Time.

A sad reminder of you don't know what you've got until it's gone. Absolute legend.

Prince is a true inspiration to the world! He’s songs we forever remain in our hearts. Did you ever attend any of his concert?

Me too😢
@VickyLazio-pn8hq wow! Not even close! Stupid comment...🤣
同じく同意ですね！

발매 당시엔 좀 우스꽝스러워보였는데....
이곡은 진짜로 들을수록 명곡이더군요....
비 내릴때 차안에서 들으면 세상이 다 뮤직비디오로 바뀌는 마법....
Being a guitar player and student for around 5 years, I know how difficult is to convey your emotions through your instrument. It takes a pure a master to make the music you think in your head sound the same as the music that comes out from your instrument and prince has done just that in the solo of this song.
Amen
The fact that you realise the challenge ,in conveying the emotions through the instrument tells me you are the greatest in the making....keep pushing....dearest
There r many people wo could do this ur a noob mate sorry of this hurts u but it's a fact
Keep your heart open and awake.....
You hit the nail square on the head.....
R.I.P. Prince 1958-2016💔🙏😪

Me, my fave song 💜💜💜
2025 and still listening to and marveling at the musical genius of this Man, Prince. He's resting in the arms of God and playing guitar.
I believe that somewhere in the world there are people who feel the same emotions that I feel when I listen to this beautiful song.
His voice and his guitar are heavenly...
You better believe it
It makes two of us bud

Ganz bestimmt
In 100 years time people will still listen to this masterpiece
Yes sir
Nailed it.
I am a child of the 70s and 80's this song makes me love wife more everytime I hear it.
Of course and Now the children of today only hear reggaeton AND that shit that call it "Músic"
Only one hundred? 😉 I was born in '96 and I'm here for this. Don't give up hope on my generation please folks.
Unquestionably one of the greatest songs ever written
Arguably maybe, not unquestionably.
@@mikeyhughes8992 Arguably unquestionable. Unquestionably arguable. Nah, unquestionably unquestionable:)
@@spiroberto I guess it’s an opinion you are rightfully entitled too and many will agree with your opinion, and many will ( like myself who thinks it’s a fantastic song ) also disagree with the opinion it’s the greatest . I think there are too many fantastic songs in the world to make that judgement.
@@mikeyhughes8992 least pretentious Prince enjoyer.Appreciate your witful response unlike other fans of this popstar.
Hard to find someone with a brain in Prince's fanbase.
@nemesisgenius hang on, what about bohemian rhapsody? :D
Is there an award for that, because i have all my life loved this song. It has always been my no 1 song. And i am now fully sure thats what purple rain is. Its his rainy days, his broken heart its his tears that no one saw. Purple rain is princes pain.
He is basically singing walk in my purple shoes
From the beginning of time until now, this is one of the greatest guitar solos in the history of music.
a gross exageration....
@@salesit5970 who gives a fuck it's one of the most iconic songs of all time
u must be on crack - u dont have to make such retarded comments wen u jus want to express how much u like a song - it belittles u and the song -
So far!
😅 doesn’t take much to please you, eh?
Dressed like Mozart, singing like Little Richard, playing like Jimmy Hendrix. The passion, the passion.
Dressed like prince, singing like prince and plays like prince. I Also have a hard time to picture morzart wearing a purple leather jacket with rivets on.
mustafa1name Jimi* Hendrix
Sums it up sweetly mate, genius 👍
Excellent!
Just Best
When Prince goes, "honey, I know, I know, I know times are changing." It just hits me super hard and I keep replaying it. I don't know why. I guess it feels like he's speaking directly to us and letting us know that everything is going to be okay despite the uncertainty. I love this song so much.
Me too 🥺🥺 Miss Da 90’s 😩😩😩
That means you too!
I wish I'd seen him in concert. What a magnificent talent.
This song hits hard. Always has and always will.
Was the 80s.
Truly great music stands the test of time, not a huge prince fan, but man this is one of the greatest bits of music ever written. Decades will pass and people will still listen.
I'm 85 years old a few days ago.In 100 years time people will still listen to this masterpiece
💜☔💜☔
Respect to you,at your age, appreciating this music!
I’m 42 and I agree
Im 15
Respect

I'm 56 now, and it doesn't look like Purple Rain by Prince is going to be knocked off the top of my all time favourite songs list.... nothing has even come close, it will be played at my funeral. Its just simply my song.
And my mums its her song x
Me too💜
Little Red Corvette is better
77 and still ranks in my top twenty
My mom absolutely loved this song! She passed in February, now this song has a special place for me
Sorry for your loss😢
Sorry for ur loss
So sorry for your loss. Bet Prince is playing this for her right now.
Sorry for your loss
Me too with my dad I understand it better
2024 Im 71 years old. I still think this is one of the greatest performances in a movie. What a song!!!
The talent and pure swag of this man is legendary.
LEGENDARY.
😢💜
He was a talent without equal.
no butt ''prince''
Yes!
The most underrated guitarist to exist. He was a perfectionist.
He's far from underrated. One of most praised guitarists to ever do it.
@@Stakwell Been in the music business for over 10 years I was 13 years old when Purple Rain came out and I've heard very few people ever mention him. He's extremely underrated.
Check out 'While my guitar gently weeps' with clapton and others. They all just pale in comparison to Prince just SHREDDING it.
@@Stakwell
He surely was a great musician, but every second youtube guitarrist is better then him honestly
@@myself3209Never ever. Don’t talk so much bullshi… do you really know about Prince and what he did for the music era ?
Having Prince in my life, I sometimes think must have been like the time when Mozart and Beethoven were around, musical geniuses spreading joy and happiness with their music and never appreciated as much until their passing, only then were they truly appreciated! In a thousand years this song will still be played and people will still know the name Prince Rogers Nelson. RIP sweet Prince and thank you for making my small life special with your music in it!
😂😂😂😂 Prince por favor ni tu te la crees comparándolo con morzat
lol you need to listen to other music
Wow - awesome thing to say - YES - he is a genius - this video makes me cry & people's comments
Don't be an elitist dickhead@@LeMichaelJordansPoleRiders
I think Princes guitar playing is so under rated he is a very talented. One of the best
Eric clpaton was once asked how it was being thengreatest guitarist ever....he said they would have to ask Prince. Such a great response
Purple Rain was and still is a masterpiece by Prince I don't know how anyone can not like this song. Prince was very talented and at times treated so unfairly by some in the media especially not understanding the pain he was going through. Sometimes you never know what a person is going through unless you've walked in their shoes. Let the person without sin cast the first stone is something we all need to remind ourselves at times.
The Media needs stay out of everyone business n stop the DAMN GOSSIPING! Get your own life then you'll be to busy to Gossip we have no right to put he said ,she said shit out there ,because that's what it is everybody wants be the Damn Judge ! If where all judge then who will the jury be !
Well shit eh.. Imagine how many bands, got worse treatment by the presstitute over the years.. You want a fkn beach towel for those tears?
Jim love the way he sings He has a very special talent
Shit there isn't one Damn person on this earth that is perfect nobody n people need stop talking about other people's life cause that's bullshit I've got bunch Boys well i call them my Boys and they are my family by choice not blood but none the less i love each n everyone of them the same and i have n i would do anything for them no matter what it's loyalty things with me i promised them I'd always br here n i will yeah they all got little caught up with drugs but before anyone says shit or shakes their head don't cause nobody knows why and what those Boys been through but i do i know more then anyone n they all at one point lived with me n i tried help n look out for them n those Boys have a big big heart n are sweet n good young men that just never had anyone that really cared n stuck by them n showed them their worth and they always made sure i was ok one would ride his bike or whatever every night after working all day on roofs to see if i needed anything or if i had food n money i would never take nothing from either of them but it felt good to see him have something that was important to him I'd just smile n he would tell his guy friends that came with him that he had better not see any of them come to my house if he isn't there i laughed said Boy he said Na i mean it ! No one has the right to judge or talk about anyone's life because like i say you know my name but not my story! I always find the good in someone n trust this they are all paying for what they did n that was hurting themselves n no one else. N shouldn't be because those Boys have already paid enough in their lives thats for sure and shouldnt have to pay more n should be getting the right help needed most of the time the people talking s*** and running their mouth are the people that are doing the most and have more to hide that's why they talk ! So next time you get ready to open your mouth and talk about someone DON'T JUDGE YOURSELF BECAUSE YOUR NO ONE'S JUDGE N IF WE ARE ALL JUDGE'S THEN WHO BE WILL BE THE JURY! TO SAVE SOME OF THESE BOYS OR WHOEVER THAT NEED TO BE SAVED !
He could throw the best shade... that side eye. 😏 Idk why he was so dang sexy... and his music pure genius that could baptize love or exercise demons. Never forgotten
Purple Rain isn’t just a song, it’s a cultural reset, it’s the oxygen you breathe, it’s a lifestyle, a reason to breathe, an escape from this cruel world, it’s art, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one, everything you’ve ever wanted 💖
Right , but I never got any hugs in all my life have a nice day
Chill

Great words of wisdom, but, meaningless when you have to deal with other people and screwed up relationships.
Im pushing 70. I never really like him. But now I relate to just how talented he was. His music lives on.!!
It's a song about loving someone enough to let them go. It hurts so much and cuts so deep but also healing and helping to make peace with what could have been but wasn't meant to be.
Wow that’s so profound. I never really realized that is exactly what this song is all about
💔 well said!, And also wishing them the best truly
I'm already in tears just reading that
Thanks so much for the enlightenment. Thanks. I understand better.
I lost my love to alziemer alive but not with me any more 😢
I've heard this song approximately 2.5 billion times and it gives me shivers everytime.
I just did the math
That would make you over 36 thousand years old
@@TheRingcase give or take
@@TheRingcasesavage 🤣
My generation (anybody who grew up in the 80s) is truly blessed. There will never be another Prince. No artist today even comes close. Prince, Bowie, MJ... they were all legends.
and Freddy Mercury
I'd be honored if some Prince & MJ fans would check out my acoustic piano & vocal covers of PURPLE RAIN and MAN IN THE MIRROR on my channel in tribute to the 2 greatest musical superstars of the 1980s. Live acoustic with no autotune. Thanks and RESPECT to the legends.
Queen..
@@gfanarakos Freddie..
And George Michael? He was so good!
Ein Lied das wohl auch in 50 Jahren noch Mega sein wird.
Truly one of the most beautiful, intense and meaningful songs that have ever been written. Flash forward to 200 years from now, this song will still sound ahead of its time. You were a genius, Prince, you left us way too early, but you live in your music
Can u suggest similar songs?
Who's here in 2024 and will still be till 2044!! Prince's songs will live FOREVER!! 🥹

I have never seen a musician (artist) sing a song with so much feeling in my life. Sung and played with a great emotional charge. Emotion and feeling bubble up with each syllable and chord. Prince: Pure talent.
@@alk884 Sinead O'Connor did a pretty good job ... tears and all.
I would like to dedicate this song to myself, thank you Prince for bringing me back to life every time I listen to Purple Rain. 40 years on and it still brings me chills and takes me to another level every time I hear it. Loving that guitar, loving the look of that crowd, there is NO ONE above you Prince!! You are on top of my musical pyramid. Long live Prince!!!

the guitar solo is the most beautiful thing i’ve ever heard
Its amazing!
For a pop song i actualy agree:)
Oath!

@@BitchDeath THIS SOLO IS ACTUALLY BETTER THAN MOST IN ROCK
He had epilepsy growing up. He taught himself how to play all the instruments in a band..he was a musical icon that can never be forgotten..peace and love to you forever Prince..
I didn't know that but hes my icon I play gibson and fender guitars I have the original video tape of the movie and it pulls my heart strings every time I watch it and let's not forget wendy and lisa,,outstanding angie burke.
As I recall, he had symphonic band in high school and the teacher was amazed he could play all the instruments, including the harp.
Al M. Wow...I didn’t know that...amazing
Epilepsy?!! I had Epilepsy when I was a kid, resulted in me having 2 seizures I can remember. The other one ended with me in a ambulance. I never knew he had it.
Yes beautiful sunshine 🌹 I’m James from Miami Florida USA 🇺🇸, how are you doing..?
The solo of the Guitar of Prince is just one of the Greatest of all times
When Price passed away, I did the research on him. His songs are iconic. True legend
I'm 51, so when he passed, it was like a big part of my younger self died as well. Being born in '73 was a blessing. Being alive during that time was AMAZING! His music was then, and always will be, in my heart and soul. 💜
For two weeks straight after Prince tragically passed away, I played this song on repeat every day. I still get teary-eyed when he hits that guitar rift. This man was such a legend #RIP 😔

“When there’s blood in the sky… red and blue = purple. Purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/God guide you through the purple rain,” - Prince said of the song’s meaning.
Amen!
There are stories that in the far past the atmosphere was purple. More oxygen, bigger life forms etc.
It's a hidden message. Prince was taken out by 'them'...
@@LANGUAGERebel he knew it too. We went to Paisley Park Monday. The energy felt in there is something I don't have words for. It was a higher level of consciousness type o feeling.
Beautiful,
@@lucylewis7708 Perfect word for it.
I am 100% sure Prince, in his wildest dreams, could not imagine that this song will have such a status it has today, 40 years after...
This isnt just a song. Its an anthem. God damn. Take me back to those days again.
💜 Yeah 💜 True 💜
the guitar solo is no doubt the most beautiful thing i’ve ever heard.
this and the solo in beat it by eddie van halen
I listen purple rain less one time ever weeks since 1984... And I feel. all the time the same emotion... I m 58 years old... And for me it s the most nice solo guitar of ever

Prince had something special that so few musical artist possess. There will never be another Prince.

Thats sad to hear, but I appreciate that you had such a strong relationship with your sister. I hope you have a good day when ever you read this, you deserve all of your days to be wonderful!
I remember watching this at cinema with my sister Donna too. She died day of MJs funeral but this song is so special to me fell in love with Prince's music after that film.
Sorry for your LOSS💜,

May i ask why?
Wendy girl you are so beautiful 😘🥰😍
Thats so sweet
Yes itt is GREAT

Wasn’t a fan in the least, back in the 80’s. Total metalhead: Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ozzy, Dio, ect. Still a 57 year old metal head. As the years have rolled on, I’ve really come to appreciate Prince. Great song writer, laid a bunch of hot women, knew how to play guitar, wasn’t into children, unlike another big talent of that time. Can’t tell you how much I respect this man’s talent. Phenomenal song and performance. I’m here in January of 2025. I’ll be here until the end of my days.
When Prince plays his guitar he puts all his heart and soul. That's what lifts him to a higher level than others.
Celia Carvalho dos Santos ....he’s a damn good guitarist
Celia Carvalho dos Santos ...he puts his heart and soul into all his music...and performances...he worked with a lot of other musicians as well
I agree!! I love Prince and miss him dearly. This song and movie defined my childhood and teenage years. Thank you so very much for posting it. As his music was so hard to find on TH-cam for a long time. I know why though and I agree completely with why it wasn't here before. Thank you once again.
I was never a Prince fan until I saw him do "while my guitar gently weeps". Nobody can touch this musical genius.
That was a fantastic performance. One of his best for sure.
It was great
same here actually. never heard anyone that good on the guitar in that Harrison piece,. Am sure George would have loved it and drop his jaws .
Didnt he cut up tho
When a song can make you feel 10 emotions at the same time, *you know its good.*
Beautiful comment I certainly can relate to your feelings....Thanks, William.........
Now that is what I call a true heart....Love William...😃
So so 💯 PERCENT AGREE
And what are these 10 emotions?
My Daughter send me this greatest Song of all time to my 78. Birthday. What a great Gift to me. I' m so Happy. Prince ist so wonderful.
Children of the 80''s, we were so very fortunate to hear and experience the greatest singer songwriters..

I doesn't need to. I assure you a lot of people know it by heart
The fact that Watch Me Whip has, and this hasn't, is really one of the great tragedies in the history of the universe.
The lyrics, that voice, the music, everything about this song is just so perfect.
Agree so much with you
Gone too too soon.
Watching on Sept 25, 2018. I'm 48 years old, and I'm thinking this: "I am so grateful that I can say I lived at the time Prince blew the doors off the music world in the 1980s. God has been good to me indeed."
:)
Thank you, Purple One. You poured your heart out up there. We heard you. The energy exchange is magical.
i'm 32 and first time i heard Prince was maybe 10 years ago, prefer heavy types of music, but i can't deny the fact how talented this guy was and how beautiful his music is. Top artist.
Kate Ross me too he was quite amazing wasn't he !!
I saw him in concert on March 8, 1985. You could have hit me with a magic stick for a week after.
He was magic.
I never heard of this song until i listen to Dalton Harris on x factor yesterday singing this song...beautiful
I'm only 14 so never really got to chance to experience him but how lucky you are to have to.
Song makes me cry every damn time, especially when he gets into the solo, guitar, to vocal. Unreal energy.
U can feel it
Yes, you can really feel it.
Same
Thought it was just me, i'm 69 and supposedly a tough guy!
I was wondering if I was the only one…
Whenever life's shitty, I listen to 80s music and it gets a little better.
You damn right.
I just wrote this same comment on a video if Freddie singing Radio Gaga at live aid. They don't make music like they used to. Thank God for TH-cam!
So true
Some of the Greatest artists and music ever made. Truly a happier time the 80s.
Oh.. Dear. I was a teen in the 80's.
Idont feel better. This U2, Live Aid and Prince in general, make me feel good..
This song transcends genres...prince was a legend. Such an inspiration to me...killer vocals and his guitar playing is impeccable...he transcends any boundaries...I cry when I hear this song...pure genius.
My dad passed away 11 months ago. And a memory I have of him is when he would sit on the couch in the corner grabbing the acoustic guitar and singing this one. To this day, this song makes me feel like I'm closer to my dad. So close I could hear my dads voice. #letsdoit☝️ This is a great song. 🙌❤
Miss you so much dad. Rest easy!
so sorry for your loss, my dad's been gone for 12 years, it's more barry manilow for him.
Im sorry for you lost and God mercy on his soul
Heartwarming. Thanks for sharing.....
My dad passed when I was 3 years old.. He was a big fan of Prince, on his funeral 1999 was played. My birth year, till this day prince will always be a connection between me and my father..
Sorry for your lost for your dad . Remember he is always watching above you and keeping you safe and warm
The guitar solo makes me cry every time. Song takes me back to my childhood.
me as well I always love this song but you got to relate to the meaning I always was fantasy with instruments
Right after the solo about the 6:18 mark always got me…..whooohoo ohohwoo
Yes♡☆ ♡@♡
Even Chad Kroeger like this song
that´s perfect, Myra
