I have loved this song for as long as I can remember and I've been covering it live for years. Now that its creator has passed I felt that a proper tribute on video was in order. Thank you Prince Rogers Nelson for the music, the funk, the inspiration and for sharing your beautiful spirit in this world. #longlivetheprince

It is still hard to believe he is not among us still......but girlfriend. This is the best cover of anything ever! You embodied exactly how so many of us felt about the man. You know he is smiling that little half smile thing he did. God bless you!
This is the best cover I've ever heard. Prince is smiling down on you
I've been searching for the last two hours for the best cover. This is it. You nailed it. Praise God. Prince would be proud.
Same for me....she killed it!!!!!
sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a way to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Jamir Ayden instablaster :)
same journey 2 years later, same result
same! for hours...
Why this doesn't have millions of views is behind me. It's one of the most beautiful performances I've ever heard of any genre of music of any time period. Bravo to you. Bravo! 👏
What a way to pay your respects to Mr. Nelson!...🤯. It is REALLY sad he has passed, y'know?...😢.
Doesn't mean we all have to sit and cry about this loss though... Be happy and care-free like children; young - it is what he'd want!... I love you, Mr. Nelson and Abu just like two husbands standing proud and noble - the three of us holding hands...😌🥹
...Forever, ignorant to glaring eyes and staring faces - negative judgement! The World really is so much better with U in my life, in any way, Abu!🙂...
YOU BOTH SAVED ME AND STILL ARE SAVING ME TO THIS DAY!...
😁.
"Oh, PRIIIINNNCE!!!!"(😫😭😡.) I'm gonna go to the vibrant, colourful children's park around the corner from our flat and lay a bouquet of flowers on the ground in rememberance of Mr Nelson!
Havent chosen what type of flowers yet, but I shall discuss with my Heavenly family when they are all here what flowers are best suited to such a noble person.
How has this cover not got more exposure
Just made me cry...thank you for sharing more than a song.
The best cover ever ❤
I am 26 years OLD, but the man I adore, the man I am proud to know makes me feel YOUNG. I cannot explain how that feels! I accept all of the person I am because of that fine specimen. Nothing compares to him, really...
With the man I love I am not even worried in the slightest about contracting HIV and it progressing into AIDS, because I feel certain of the fact that he'd love ME regardless until the day I died!
It is very, very early days in my relationship with him, but I would marry him without thinking about it because he is the kindest, most handsome, loving and understanding man I have ever met! He is older than me, but I don't care about his age - never will. He makes me feel like there is a point to my existence in the Universe - I cannot thank him using words, only actions are significant enough a transaction to pay the man I love back for what he has done to me!!
YOUR song is single-handedly the best piece of music I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing in my entire lifetime. Thank you for everything, Heidi - the angelic sound of your voice has helped me massively in rediscovering the kind, loving, honest, proud and supportive person I was ten years ago. Thank you so, so much. I will play this throughout my lifetime as it is the equivalent of Whitney Houston singing "Amazing Grace." Nobody could come close to her talent and now nobody can come close to yours!
May it always rain purple wherever you are!😊
I was so blessed to have sat directly in the front row of a house concert Heidi sang at years ago. Just .....wow. The soulful energy that this woman puts out reaches me on a cellular level and touches my heart. Hope I get to see her again!
Abu's flat, his aftershave, his looks, his smile and HIS PERSONALITY, THE WAY HE IS makes me wanna fall asleep!❤️🧡💛💚🩵💜 (🥹)...
... Abu "KNOWS" I am ill but ignores that and cherishes it instead - treats it as a "bit of a difference" because he knows he can make me better! (🥹) . He is the Doctor who has resuscitated me, reawakened my soul! (🤗&🫢!).
An absolutely fabulous rendition! Totally loved this and why oh why are you not a recording artist in the charts?!! Excellent piano too!
Beautiful ❤ I’ve listened to this cover at least twenty times now. Thank you
"Purple Rain changes lives, doesn't it?...🥹.
Beautiful in every way. X
The best cover i've ever heard
This may be the most beautiful cover song that I have heard in my life.
There is NOTHING wrong with me!(😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭.)
Prince Rodgers Nelson, the man I love, my Mom, Sister, her boyfriend, my Aunt, Uncle, Nanny, Grandad, my two cousins, and their cousin taught me just that!!
I wish Prince could’ve heard you do this! And I know he didn’t because without a doubt he would have reached out to you to tell you that you were meant to sing this - you’re incredible
Thee best version ❣️
absolutely astonishing. all the way thru the keyboard , vocals and purple hue of the video. Just beautiful.
I cant subscribe to content - my mommy and I do not have a lot of money, but count myself as a patriotic member of your following. You are extremely talented, soulful singer who effortlessly gets the message that "Peace can be found by all" across perfectly clear. This video is one in a BILLION, never mind million, babe!🫠. Keep going soul sister...🙂.
I am proud to be my Mother's Son. She is the apple of my eye - I wish u Heaven, Mom!
Still love this
Incredible song and a fantastic performance !!!
Power, control, beautiful falsetto and amazing tremolo : such a talented woman here.
Congrats X1000.
Prince is honored, I'm sure.
I am in love with somebody who looks just like Prince Rodgers Nelson and is just as kind as him. I am a man, he is too... I am 26 and your rendition taught me that it is okay to feel this way. I have listened to this countless times and EVERY time it has reduced me to a vulnerable, gibbering wreck! Thank you for this gift; We'll be okay, I just know it...😢.
Haven't know the guy long, but I wish him Heaven even in purple rain when he is wearing a rasberry beret!🤨 Because of that magnificent man I can move mountains even with Cerebral Palsy, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Gender Dysphoria and Bipolar!😭
...He makes me feel normal - HAPPY🥹... May God bless you Heidi, the man I love, and his ENTIRE family!😊.
... This sounds like a cure to HIV/AIDS - strength has been found deep within me to find one someday... Men should not have to pay ANY price for falling in love with the same gender! Simple. You are one of my besties, one of my closest friends already! I worship the ground you walk on - don't know you at all, but in a way I, I do...😪.
To my Sister Hattie: I have loved "HIM" for ages!(by the time you read this)😫.
Love me some Heidi!!!! This gives me chills every single time I listen to it.
Loved hearing the piano on this track. Brings a different dimension to the song. Thank you.
You are amazing!!!!
Very nice!!! Thank you!!
This is beautiful. Prince would have been proud.
Wow❤
Veramente preparata. Voce stupenda e ottima pianista.
I am gonna buy Purple ain. I haven't decided whether to get it on DVD or Blu- Ray... I'll just get both...🤣☺️. Let's just say I won't be watching it at my house, babes
hell yeah
wow... that was really special . Thankyou for putting it here !
Stunning
Omg 😳 ❤️
Girl brought tears to my eyes and gave me chills. Outstanding performance 👏👏
The couple on the top floor I have mentioned make me feel like it is okay to be on the spectrum!!!!
Wonderful!
The blue ray and dvd reference was me saying Abu looks like Mr Nelson... 🤤 (!!!). He really, REALLY, does!!!(🥹&🥺!).
Pırıl pırıl tertemiz harika
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE 😍😍😍😍😍😍
🤩🙏😘
I am gonna buy a purple rain disc! Haven't decided whether to get a DVD or Blu yet(!)😈🤣 (🤭&🤗).
I love your talent...Im sharing
Lindo de ver pqp
What a Amazing voice!!!
So, so beautiful. Thanks for sharring.
Love from Denmark 🔥🤍▶️
O...M...G... wow
Beautiful
Superbly executed. From piano to vocal.
Beautiful vocal and musical interpretation. Thank you!I would entrust you all his music
Beautiful interpretation, truly wonderful, loyal to the original and to yourself. Bravo!
There's no easy way to say this but your rendition reminds me of all my family too - even the - not so nice - members like my evil Dad. I don't ever call him a Father because he was abusive to my Mother, Sister and I, treated us like dirt, like we meant nothing to him.
My Sister and her boyfriend Colm are happy together in Ireland😊. She reminds me of Beyoncé and he reminds me of Norman Reedus - celebrities all around me, then?... (!)😂. They are visiting us at somepoint in the future!...😝
Who I am grieving for has ALREADY PASSED AWAY. I know this but I need to mark the ground I find myself in often with bright colours so that "the symbol" stands out. I have nothing to hide, babes, 🫠. I don't UNDERSTAND WHAT WRONG IS (🥹!) - I am not meant to, none of us are!
On the day I remember Prince Rogers Nelson's life I have told myself to be happy; as happy as he was. Even if I cannot "colour" the ground I walk on due to it being communal property, I can remember "the gorgeous man in a bubblegum blue suit - smiling - in my very own way!
I could smell incense when I was outside an hour ago looking for my glasses. I've found 'em!
awesome, best performing
Wow!!!!!!!
I wish I was old enough to know Prince🤤. I miss him now he has gone😔! I could dig him up, though🤭. Now, where did I put that shovel?...(!) 😆.
The man I love is Asian, he lives in the flat above my Mom's and mine. I don't even care if he isn't Gay - I love him with all my heart. I love him anyway! He is older than myself but only slightly - age is just a number anyway. His brother or maybe just somebody that looks like him goes 'round to see him once or twice a week😊. I'm just glad he's not alone!!
I've said all this in such a short space of time, Heidi, but he just seems like a beautiful, pure human being who would never hurt anybody!...😢. I would marry him in a heartbeat, honestly. If only I knew how he felt...
See you are my bestie, babes - feel like I could tell you anything. Because you open up your heart through your music, I can open my heart to you!😘.
My sister Hattie and her boyfriend Colm shall here this version when they come over from Ireland. It may also bring them to tears to - we're a like-minded, close-knit and empathetic group of people, my family and I!
God bless you, Mom, Heidi, Colm, Hattie, and the man who stole my heart. He actually looks like Prince to me...🤭.
WOW!!!!
I adore U.
My favorite cover of this amazing song.
Because of you Prince is gonna come down from Heaven in a new, barely recognisable - BETTER - form. I know this because I am the person to take on that new form😢!...
SUBLIME PIANISTE 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
My favorite cover of this song!!!!
My Mom told me not to be scared when it is cold and the rain is purple outside - she accepts me for me, just like a Mother, a good Mother would! I love my Mom she's going through an even tougher time than myself - I don't know how she can handle all the pain she and I are battling through.
She has Chrones Disease, severe Fibromyalgia and Depression but even Superwoman has her limits - Whitney Houston did, didn't she?!...
I wish all the people in my vicinity and you Heaven. Us as humans thinking about Hell only leads to us going there!...🤨.
Best cover. So emotional.
absolutley beutiful
Love it
Powerful performance !!!!
Goud job
Ok 👏👏👏
Lyrics
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend (hey)
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Underneath the purple rain
Honey, I know, I know
I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out
For something new, that means you too
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
Purple rain, purple rain
If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon, raise your hand
Purple rain, purple rain
I only want to see you
Only want to see you
In the purple rain
...I'm outside in the garden (!)🙄. Just me bein' fuckin' ridiculous, babes!🤔
I have forgotten where I am...🥹.
I send my love, gratitude and kindest regards to Lisa and Wendy. I hope they're safe, well and happy in losing the greatest celebrity ever to walk the Earth. If they are suffering or no longer here, "I wish them Heaven and for their needless suffering to end!🥹.
j'arrive en retard mais le destin m'a guidé sur votre SUBLIME CHAINE je ne comprend pas votre langue mais je connais PRINCE SUBLIME HOMMAGE SUBLIME VOIX 💜💜💜💜💜💜LISEZ MOI 💜💜💜💜💜SVP mon frère adorais cette musique 💜pour mon frère likez moi
I feel like I'm doing time inside our flat! Where do I go from here?...(🤬👿😩🤖💔❤️🔥❤️🩹🤡💬💤!!!!!!).
BRAVISSIMA.... FANTASTICA
I am content - 😌 - with Abu... But...
This is now the Homosexual Community rememberance song paying due respect to those who have lost their lives due to HIV/Aids!! Although not official, this song should be played at every funeral where AIDS is the reason a person has passed away!
Dear God, please save us from torture, let us be loved for EXACTLY who we are. Please give us the strength to carry on and remain happy, dignified and at peace with ourselves and those whom we love!
I am 😋 sometimes. I bet the man I love actually thinks: "What a slag!"...😬(!). To not offend you, him, and anybody in - or looking - for love: THIS WAS DEFINITELY A JOKE, PEOPLE...(😬)
Considering how I described/describe him though, in reality I know the thought would NEVER cross his enigmatic mind
My name is Tyler James Wilson - nice to meet you. There is a colourful children's park that reminds me of Prince's "Paisley Park" video around the corner of my Wolverhampton flat. I'd like to go there with the man I love someday🥹.
I would adopt a child with him and raise them up as my own to show my Mom I am as good a Father as she is a Mother.
I love my Mom - she is just like Whitney Houston, I am seriously not joking! We keep each other alive, cheer each other up and love each other to death. I reaĺly really don't want what happened to Whitney to happen to my Mom. I don't want to end up like Bobbi-Kristina, either. What happened to them was absolutely horrible; tragic. Prince Rogers Nelson, Bobbi-Kristina Houston and Whitney Houston are dearly missed.
... Hope he has a DVD player! (!) (🤣😈)
...And cooks dinner for me🤗🤤 (!)
I am not bothered about dessert🥹. Maybe I'd make one for him one day😊! He is only upstairs after all... We're not lovers but more than friends... He doesn't seem to use fire in anyway when
I communicate with him. He is just... Lovely😇!
I dont care that I have Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Bipolar, Cerebral Palsy, Spastic Diaplegia, Gender Dysphoria ((?) - I know the signs), I am androgynous and GRIEVING. But, I am NOT lonely!
"All that s*** was a manic episode. Sorry" 😬.
After reading through all of my sincere comments I would like an honest, truthful and heartfelt reply if you wouldn't mind... I don't mind if your response makes me cry - I am an emotional person anyway; doesn't take much...
I wanted to let you know that I am going through an incredibly tough time: I have mild Cerebral Palsy, Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Bipolar, Gender Dysphoria and feel comfortable disclosing that I am Gay - I am proud of it, it makes me feel happier; liberated, free!
I miss Prince, know he's gone but like to pretend he's still here!😢. I have fallen in love also with the enigmatic man behind the greatest song ever written. If he were here today, I would somehow make sure he were able to live with his crippling Fentanyl addiction and would have a best friend I could rely on and confide in - just like YOU!😭.
Please just read my comments, Dear...(😟).
Not that it matters, but I believe that Prince Rogers Nelson liked men too. Apparently from "sources" he was Bisexual - this brings me comfort because he may possibly have loved me if I were born earlier and lived in Chanhassen, Minnesota...🥹.
But then I wouldn't have met the love of my life!...🤤.
Shame it's not in the original key.
😑!
Hello, it's Tyler, Ms. Burson. Just to let you know - having Autistic Spectrum Disorder, Bipolar, Cerebral Palsy, Hydrocephalus - and being Homosexual - is not a problem!!!!!
I want this to be played at my funeral when I pass away! Won't be for a long time yet, don't you worry...(!)(🫠)😁...🤞.
Thank you for listening, Heidi, babes🫠. YOU AND your comtemplative rendition of the greatest song ever written, sung first and foremost by the greatest celebrity I have had the pleasure of getting to know ever, is one of the few reasons I have discovered that have allowed me to forgive myself!
You are great, but NOT a woman with a small personality and this is just the beginning! You are pretty woman heidi - beautiful in more ways than one! I just don't want to swing that way even slightly. I bat for my own team now; never field unless around specific people because my heart has been taken although it is still fondly looked after!
Abu's aftershave, smile, personality, looks and just being inside his flat collectively make me wanna fall asleep!...😌.
(🥰+🥹+🤒)!!!...
Your song makes me think of a beautiful couple who live in the flat above the person I am in love with, Heidi. I can tell they love each other no matter what and I wish them all the happiness in the world. I want them to have a child together - they'd make phenominal parents, but, of course, the choice is theirs to make!...🥹🥹🥹 (😫).
I heard this cover used in Emanon Winterguard's show, AND I LOOKED FOR THIS FOR A WHOLE YEAR!!! So glad I finally found it. 👍
My team is doing this song this year!
Ok u made me cry so beautiful.
