Origins of Purple Rain, Purple Rain' was originally written as a country song, and was intended to be a collaboration with Fleetwood Mac singer Stevie Nicks. According to Nicks, she received a 10-minute instrumental version of the song from Prince, with a request to write the lyrics, but she felt overwhelmed by the task. She later said: "I listened to it and I just got scared. I called him back and said, 'I can't do it. I wish I could. It's too much for me.'" Prince then asked his backing band to try the song: "I want to try something before we go home. It's mellow." According to Lisa Coleman, Prince changed the song dramatically after Wendy Melvoin started playing the guitar to accompany the song: "He was excited to hear it voiced differently. It took it out of that country feeling. "Then we all started playing it a bit harder and taking it more seriously. We played it for six hours straight and by the end of that day we had it mostly written and arranged." Prince's explanation on the meaning of 'Purple Rain': "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." After recording the song, Prince phoned Journey member Jonathan Cain, to ask him to listen to it. Prince was concerned that it might be too similar to Journey's 'Faithfully', a song composed by Cain which had recently been in the US charts. However, Cain reassured Prince by saying that the songs only shared the same four chords. "I thought it was an amazing tune," Cain said. "I told him, 'Man, I'm just super-flattered that you even called. It shows you're that classy of a guy. Good luck with the song. I know it's gonna be a hit.'" Ladies and gentlemen, Prince performing a special and an absolute classic song, Purple Rain, live at Paisley Park, in 1999. Credits for the background information: @SmoothRadio

@johnlegend so I purchased this jacket when you were on The Voice for my 50th bday in July. I had to have it. Finally decided to wear it yesterday to church. Everyone loved it. Who wore it better 🤣

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head. That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@japastu Right... that's what I say every time I see her.

What I’m actually thinking:”She has amazing hair.”

Dear @BurgerKing What the fuck is wrong with you?

@commons96055467 Yes. Hawthorne, Ca (LA County) LA is all of us.

If you are standing with Los Angeles, please say yes, and state your hometown. I want the world to show Los Angeles is not alone. Your solidarity means a lot to Angelenos. Please.

I live here. This was from 2020. This was not today or yesterday! Such liars. People standing outside a courthouse is not illegal. This is not a third-world country. This is America we have the right to protest your inhumane, unconstitutional terrorizing policies!

Say that!
