PURPLE RAIN - Prince Tribute By Alex & Luke Aiono

- Soooo, if you're following me on my journey... this week has got to be "by a mile" the saddest & most heartfelt cover I've shared on CZcams, so far! I had all kinds of feels going through my head, like Prince's passing, to how he must have felt when he'd perform this song, to who he thought about when he'd sing this song, to who "I" think about when I sing this song, and Boom! I have got to stop there!!! Feels, feels, feels for days!!!
Many of you comment about the passion I pour out through my sharing music with you. This is only to be matched to the DOPEST creativity and passion that my cousin Luke Aiono, pours through his baby that he so lovingly helps sing, from his fingertips! He's crazy talented right??? No joke, (because of our hectic schedules) we did this song 3 times! We went with the 2nd time only because it showed the most heart & passion.... the 3rd time sounded better, but we both agreed that we were just focusing on perfection that time... and not on feeling. So, enjoy our vulnerable little hearts!! The second one wins! : - )

Me?? "Well, just follow me into another video... :-)"
Prince was a musical genius. A pioneer in his own lane. You might know 1 of his songs, or 30 of his songs. Either way, PURPLE RAIN was most like that ONE song. One of my musical inspirations, Prince joins my greats: the King (Elvis) the King of POP (MJ) and BOB (Marley) "Farewell to the Prince." Thank the Lord, I still have my Rock (Dwayne) my Queen (Gladys Knight) and the Legend (John) Thank you for your gift you shared with us all, Prince.
IF YOU'RE STILL READING THIS, COMMENT: Thank you, PRINCE! - Hudba
Let's just thank god for Lucas on that guitar! 😍🙏🏾
Luke
Yeah but I didn't know Alex was Samoan/ Maori... Is he from New Zealand too? I am 💗
bruh forreals??...well damn boy got talent, but didnt know he possibly got some poly blood...cool...
+Faafetai Lemautu yooozaa but some people say he's Hispanic
+Leah Neva-Pange he's only Maori Samoan and white(said in a q&a) and you know he got poly in him with that voice 🙌🏼
Bro killed the guitar solo 👌🏽
for real tho
Derick Pulley Fuck yes
Luke is actually miguels guitarist he's played for a bunch of celebrities and has amazing talent
Recent Records not really 😝
Ok
Prince would have been proud of them. ..good job guys!!!!!! 💜
Prince just hatte covers ... Nobody nows why
In all actuality this was a poor, very poor cover. They need more practice..and I mean months load.
Bro it was absolute shit it was auto tuned to the max and it sounded like a trash pop version it was not good
the guitarist 10 stars!!!! splendid 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah really good 😌💪
Thank you, PRINCE! R.I.P to a legendary musician was probably the most under rated of his generation but he was such a genius! I'll miss him but he will live on in his music! Loved this cover made me cry a little, I felt the passion through this cover!
+Eilidh Brown Thank you!
+Alex Aiono :)
Alex Aiono this was so beautiful it made me cry 😢❤
What the fuck he is getting money of princes death tribute my ass
+Killer Man no he isn't 😒😐!!
RIP PRINCE , THANK YOU PRINCE 💜💜💜
💕💕💕💕💕
r.i.p prince❤
💜💜💜💜💜💜
So True!!!
The Guitarist, that's all I'm saying, Wow!
He made that guitar cry....purple rain should of poured out of it at the end. Amazing skills!
YaBoyBrycen purple rain should have poured out.love it
The amount of passion you had while singing this is unreal. This was an incredible cover. INCREDIBLE. This definitely made me cry. You and your AMAZINGLY talented cousin did such a phenomenal job with this cover, Alex :)
:')
I find it bullshit that this cover gets one of his least views, while this has so much emotion and while this song is truly legendary...
I just wanna say they good
Rebecca Pelsser it’s not that deep😂
SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK
I always find myself coming back to this cover even a year later, simply for how much emotion and passion Alex put into this cover.
This was very well done.
Rebecca Pelsser that's how I felt!!!!
Prince would have been proud of them. ..good job guys!!!!!! 💜💜💜💜
I was absolutely impressed with this signing, then the guitarist opened up with his lungs....WOW!! Need more from you guys. Beautifully done!!!!! Perfect!!
In all honesty, I was nervous to watch this. To have someone cover a music legend just didn't seem that interesting to me because nobody could compare to Prince. But you, you did a great job. I've been a fan for some months now, but I can say that this has made me 20x a bigger fan of yours.
+Cammi Grier Thank you! Trust me, I was nervous too! I mean it's Prince right? :-) lol!
+Alex Aiono you're cuteness in person alex ..... R.I.P. PRINCE
+Alex Aiono Love this!!! Im so glad you did this!!!!! I commented for you to do somthing for prince!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same But i like how he sang it It doesn't "bother" me If I can say it like that 😂 But yeah AMAZING
Sorry for my english i'm French Bisous 😄
literally same! after I posted my comment I just read this😂 I'm so glad his cover wasn't cringe worthy
Wow! This was so powerful!! It almost made me cry😩 ily Alex
it was a beautiful tribute .
This is amazing.
One of the absolute best covers I’ve heard. What a voice. Damn
speechless..😍😍
+JoshAdams same Josh same
Me too...it's an amazing rendition
that guitarist is something else holy fuck
whoryare he has pretty bad phrasing tho
Token Live Mattters i agree. its good, but i think he couldve shaped it a little bit better.
yeah ur right
whoryare some shit lmao
The guitarist seems to be more of a jazz guy judging from his other videos though (which are killer). The solo was pretty impressive taking that into consideration.
One of my top 3 favorite guitar solos for this song. That is saying alot considering the other 2 are Adam Levine and Nils Lofgren. Nicely done!
Hello Decoy, watch this George Harrison’s tribute and check the Princes guitar solo, maybe it’s your 4th favourite solo
czcams.com/video/dWRCooFKk3c/video.html
You might consider Prince's solo as well 🤣
@@anthonyferrari8617 For sure! Im talking covers.
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
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
Purple rain, purple rain
I only wanted to see you
Bathing in the purple rain
I was not physically or emotionally ready for 5:20 when it hit omg
Lily Garcia

This song started it's journey in one man's head and still it has not arrived at its final destination. People raising the bar all the time.
You guys are fucking awesome!! Vocals were beautiful!! Guitarist is brilliant!! I could literally feel the guitarist holding back, staying soft until it was time for him to let go. Awesome.
dude killed the guitar thank you
Hats off mate. Seriously one of the best cover of this beautiful song.
These goosebumps are real.
Someone is cutting Onions and I wish they would stop. I need a tissue I will be right back.
Damn Boys!!!! That was some amazing talent!! Good job brothers..
Bro the solo is AMAZING ! ! ! Wow...
King is already gone, Prince too.The royals are fading away ...sad
See who is here!
This is fierce guys. I don't comment much but when I do I mean it. I grew up to Prince and It makes me so happy to see your generation feel him so truly. And you're right Alex your cousin puts his soul into his playing, its the small things... Rock on guys.
I second this comment all the way
Richard Casamento same
..i thought they did the song and prince the way it all deserves to be done......respectfully and with emotion
When that first note drops on the guitar solo. Goodness gracious!
Don’t mind me, I’m just saving the time stamp for that insane guitar solo 3:51
Dude ... Can you like get super famous ... And release an album ... And go on a world Tour .. And win Grammys ? Cuz you really need to
yaaaaaas ! he does
+King Felipe hard
If he does then he'll no longer be our little secret //:
YES.
+Britney Quiñones I mean that's just selfishness at that point.
this is the kind of music we need today
legendary Music
Prince would’ve been pissed off coz it’s rubbish
Covid-19 lockdown...
Here i am listening to this beautiful cover...

Oh that guitar solo was lit.. love the cover too, great job guys...
First Tupac and Biggie, then Michael Jackson, Then Whitney Houston and now Prince. Wtf is happening to all the legends. They're all dying so young and early.
They're all gone now
LynsLyfe There are still some out there. Don't lose hope. Also, everyone has to die eventually.
You forgot Amy whinehouse and bob marley
mj died on my birthday
I swear if Stevie wonder dies like the next day I'm gonna kill myself
this version is so beautiful, i truly felt every word, the piano and guitarist were performed perfectly and the singing was beautfil. i do very well done

Wow! Luke absolutely killed it with the guitar 😍
REALY GREAT!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE VOICE! THANKS!
Fuuuuhhhh I could feel that guitar solo 🔥🔥🔥🔥
damn, that guitar solo is so good.
Thank you, PRINCE! Luke Aiono is a GENIUS on that guitar so very talented! That solo was so beautiful. Like always Alex's voice always perfect. Great tribute. I just kept thinking that if Prince were to hear this he would be so impressed, R.I.P Prince!
This is one of the best songs that they made and wil always be 👌
damn Luke is insane on the guitar so good and this cover bought me to tears
The Prince is safe somewhere up heaven and is watching this video. I bet he is a very thankful guy for you two talented people. God bless you guys.
If you haven't seen Adam Levine perform Purple Rain on CZcams than its a MUST watch, dude is a rockstar, period. This was also a good cover.
I've been too nervous to watch any covers.. but you think its good so I might as well watch it, I love Adam anyways
+Ani The guitar solo is killer.
Agreed, I also like Stan Walker's rendition. It too is a MUST watch.
+Caitlin I second that about Stan! That rendition was incredible.
+Caitlin ooh yes! I've always liked Stan's version since his first album lol
2:19 is when I knew the guitar solo was going to be BEASTMODE
Thank you I knew Prince personally and he called me chi-town. The 2:30 am PAISLEY PARK parties where the best ! RIP !
When is he gonna hit 1,000,000 he's so good 👌😊💜
Thank you, PRINCE! ❤
wow. just. wow. you did your own style unlike everyone else tryna be and sound like him. you were able to pull off a prince song. my hats off to you
amen guys!!i have no words to describe this song like that!!! :) :) AMAZING :) :)
one of the dopest cover of all time.. luke is on fuego man !
this has to be tied with one other cover! this dude has the right mind set he stays humble and sings not for fame but because he is passionate about. need more artists like this in the industry
This is an absolutely beautiful cover. You guys are both very very talented.. the singing gave me goosebumps and the guitar playing was unbelievable!
Been watching covers of purple rain for two days now and I must say this is one of the bests so far ❤️
You boys are so talented!! I am glad I found your music today Alex. You will go far boy. We are behind you. (me, my hubby, and my 4 babies :D)
Thank you Prince, REST IN POWER.
Thank you Alex also for doing a cover of this beautiful song you never dissapoint 💘
Brilliant, this song was being sung in a pub when i got the call about my grandmother passing last summer ever since it always reminds me of that night and now it always reminds me of her

Fantastic cover both of you! I cried man, i cried! Dammit... Shoutout to the guitarist!
More of these! Slow and beautiful songs. Best of Prince.
This was seriously good, thinking of doing one myself
this is by far the BEST cover of this song i have ever heard in my entire life..... this is amazing keep doing what youre doing and never stop
I am just seeing this cover and man you guys nailed it. Amazing cover. A true legend gone but never forgotten.
Thank You Prince! And of course thank you Alex and Luke for such a beautiful cover 💕
I can't stop looking at the guys hair with guitar
Other than prince himself, these two brothers do the best Purple Rain I've heard a band do so far. I would love to produce them in a concert.
guys..this is just perfect, i love the very lowdown vibe of this..not to much adlibs or other weird gimmicks.pure natural..perfect
