    I had a date with a girl but she ended up ghosting me at the time of the date. So I decided to go to this one bar that had a live band playing. They covered this song. When they were playing it, I was absolutely mesmerized and forgot all about my date. I felt very present in the moment. I didn't shazam the song. I just knew the name of the song had to be Purple Rain just because of how often these words are repeated. I ended up having a great night even being alone. So I come back home and I look up the name of the song and I start playing the song on repeat. It has now become my new favorite song of all time. This song brings me peace, joy, and optimism. I feel chills every time I listen to it. This would never have happen if I let my date ruin my night and I remained at home. Thank you, Sabrina! Thank you Prince for producing this masterpiece! 💜

So we played it at his funeral and whenever I hear this song, I'm taken back to this time right after we lost him. It's so incredibly sad to me and even now that I'm 19 and it's been so many years, this song makes me (and my mom) cry as soon as we hear the first few seconds of it.

    “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,” - Prince said of the song’s meaning.

      There are stories that in the far past the atmosphere was purple. More oxygen, bigger life forms etc.
      It's a hidden message. Prince was taken out by 'them'...

    Purple Rain was and still is a masterpiece by Prince I don't know how anyone can not like this song. Prince was very talented and at times treated so unfairly by some in the media especially not understanding the pain he was going through. Sometimes you never know what a person is going through unless you've walked in their shoes. Let the person without sin cast the first stone is something we all need to remind ourselves at times.

      Shit there isn't one Damn person on this earth that is perfect nobody n people need stop talking about other people's life cause that's bullshit I've got bunch Boys well i call them my Boys and they are my family by choice not blood but none the less i love each n everyone of them the same and i have n i would do anything for them no matter what it's loyalty things with me i promised them I'd always br here n i will yeah they all got little caught up with drugs but before anyone says shit or shakes their head don't cause nobody knows why and what those Boys been through but i do i know more then anyone n they all at one point lived with me n i tried help n look out for them n those Boys have a big big heart n are sweet n good young men that just never had anyone that really cared n stuck by them n showed them their worth and they always made sure i was ok one would ride his bike or whatever every night after working all day on roofs to see if i needed anything or if i had food n money i would never take nothing from either of them but it felt good to see him have something that was important to him I'd just smile n he would tell his guy friends that came with him that he had better not see any of them come to my house if he isn't there i laughed said Boy he said Na i mean it ! No one has the right to judge or talk about anyone's life because like i say you know my name but not my story! I always find the good in someone n trust this they are all paying for what they did n that was hurting themselves n no one else. N shouldn't be because those Boys have already paid enough in their lives thats for sure and shouldnt have to pay more n should be getting the right help needed most of the time the people talking s*** and running their mouth are the people that are doing the most and have more to hide that's why they talk ! So next time you get ready to open your mouth and talk about someone DON'T JUDGE YOURSELF BECAUSE YOUR NO ONE'S JUDGE N IF WE ARE ALL JUDGE'S THEN WHO BE WILL BE THE JURY! TO SAVE SOME OF THESE BOYS OR WHOEVER THAT NEED TO BE SAVED !
