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

8 years on, we still celebrate the legend that is Avicii — Tim Bergling. His groundbreaking hits like 'Levels,' 'Wake Me Up,' 'Hey Brother,' and 'The Nights' didn't just dominate charts and festivals — they united the world with uplifting drops, soulful melodies, and lyrics that hit deep. 'One day you'll leave this world behind, so live a life you will remember' remains a daily mantra for so many. Tim poured his heart into every beat, blending EDM with folk and emotion in ways that changed music forever. Though he left us too soon, his spirit lives in every playlist, every festival moment, and every fan who finds joy or healing in his songs. Today we dance, we reflect, and we honor the creative genius who made millions feel alive. Thank you, Tim. Your legacy is forever. ◢ ◤ #AviciiForever #TimBergling
