    It's 2024, and coincidentally, it's April, it's my first time hearing this song, thanks Meshell, I'm going through a break up 💔 and somehow this song makes me feel better, it's my lullaby ❤️

    Among many Prince songs this is one of my favorites! Mishelle's version is ethereally beautiful. I equally love Native A's version-french duo from Martinique. Prince was skilled in so many aspects & his genius will be sorely missed

    Really lush and beautiful in it's stripped down gorgeousness!! Been loving you since Plantation lullabies and thankfully saw you a bunch way back in the day..the last time being your show at summerstage here in NY ..hmm..was it last summer or the summer before? lol pardon me..I'm forgetting at the moment. But either way..please please please add another NY or preferably Brooklyn show sometime this year... a show at Celebrate Brooklyn or Lincoln Center out of doors would really be the shit!! Le poisson Rouge sold out so fast it was impossible to get tix. So please.. for all us long time fans from NY.. please add another show somewhere here in NY on this tour. I'm aching to see you play this album live... it's not what I expected but it's definitely incredibly beautiful, gorgeously arranged/composed and so perfect in the way you reinterpreted all the songs. It's easy to see how much work you put into the album and how well thought out everything is! I know you haven't been playing your real old stuff for awhile now but imho you have some other lush and beautiful tunes from the 1st few albums that would fit perfectly with these if you'd be down to bust some of them out in concert. Either way I'm really praying that you add another NY or preferably Brooklyn show sometime on this tour cause I know at least 10 people who also got shut out of the gig at Le poisson Rouge due to it selling out so quickly. Gotta figure those 10 people also know 10 more people who are dying to see you again so 1 more show would be so appreciated!! Hope to see you soon. Best wishes

    Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war
    Just after I wiped away his last tear
    I guess he's better off than he was before
    A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
    I used to cry for Tracy cause he was my only friend
    Those kinds of cars don't pass you every day
    I used to cry for Tracy cause I want to see him again
    But sometimes, sometimes life isn't always that way
    Sometimes it snows in April
    Sometimes I feel so sad
    Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
    All good things, they say, never last
    Springtime was always my favorite time of year
    A time for lovers holding hands in the rain
    Now springtime it only reminds me of Tracy's tears
    Always cry for love, never cry for pain
    He used to say so strong and unafraid
    "I'm not afraid to die"
    "I'm not afraid to die"
    Now I stare at his picture
    And I realize that no one cried the way Tracy cried
    No one cried the way Tracy cried
    Sometimes it snows in April
    Sometimes I feel so sad
    Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
    But all good things, they say, never last
    I often dream of heaven, I know Tracy's there
    I know that he has found another friend
    Maybe he's found the answer to all the April snow
    And maybe one day I'll see Tracy again
    Sometimes it snows in April
    Sometimes I feel so sad
    Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
    But all good things, they say, never last
    All good things, they say, never last
    And love, isn't love until it's past
