Purple rain - meaning

[wherediditallgosowrong]

If a guy sent you the song purple rain by prince what do you think a hidden meaning could be?

That he liked the song?

And that he was a teenager

Think yourself lucky it wasnt ups upside your head 🤣

He probably just likes the solo? If he's so odd as to be sending hidden messages in songs, run a mile.

I thought it was a breakup song. Prince said it was about the end of the world.

Most likely 😂

Why? That's one of my favourite "dances" 😯😁

🤣🤣

Better than Darling Nikki

That he needs to cut his hair now it's thinning, hang the guitar up on the wall as 'sculptural art' rather than sit in his bedroom playing it now that his mates have all got kids and jobs of their own?

It's a slippery slope, OP. At this rate, he'll be complaining that Nirvana aren't musically advanced and buying himself three plaid overshirts and a Soundgarden tee by Christmas.

It's better than Golden Shower by Lindemann

What had you been talking about when he sent it? It has a great guitar bit towards the end so if you were talking about guitar solos or amazing guitarists then it would be a normal response.

Tbh I always thought purple rain was about drugs. No idea why I thought that.

A lack of imagination?? It's probably the blandest, most commercial song Prince ever wrote. A really obvious choice too - a bit like picking 'Smells like teen spirit' as your favourite Nirvana song. If he's trying to impress you with his music tastes he should try harder! 😂

I’d assume he liked it. Why all the weird hidden meaning stuff?

That his kink is liking golden showers combined with a penchant for beetroot.

Is he competing for you with another man? Is he controlling and jealous? That's the plot of the film of the same name. He sings purple rain at the end after he's let go of his paranoia.

Ha! When I was about 11, I received a card and a record from an "anonymous admirer". The record was Supergirl. Never did find out who sent it. And my family teased me mercilessly over it.

Prince writes sex music. He wants to have sex with you. (Random man does; not Prince.)

I would think he is drunk and nostalgic.

Think yourself lucky it wasn't 'Three Times a Laydee'.

Has he ever inadvertently caused you any sorrow or ever caused you any pain? He’s trying to tell you he didn’t meant to.

At least it's not Golden Showers... 😂

My DS are bored by this story so I will inflict you

I 'met' Prince in a fairly exclusive club in Manchester back in the 1980s. In that we were in the same place at the same time.

BUT his staff came over to invite me to join Prince in his VIP area. I knew who he was but I declined! Either because he was too short or I was too shy.

Better than WAP if you ask me

Last time I heard Purple Rain was at a funeral

He sure did
