    A little about me and this channel:
    My name is James Aubrey IV and I just recently graduated college from Iowa State University. After college I decided to take a leap of faith. So I moved to San Diego California to pursue my passion for videography/ CZcams. Overall I'm a pretty chill person, outside of CZcams I like to longboard, dance, play video games, lift weights and hangout with my friends. I know that success on CZcams won't happen overnight but I'm willing to stay patient and put in the work to try to prefect my craft daily. This CZcams channel will be centered around my life after college. You will be able to see all of the ups and downs on my journey to success. So if you like the content make sure you subscribe so you can be apart of the Rome Life Family. (Let's build our own personal Rome's together.)
    What is the Rome Life ? And What does it mean to be apart of it?
    Rome Life is something I started during my Sophomore year of high school (one of the worst times in my life) it started off as me documenting my journey to recovery from my shoulder surgery but eventually it turned into a platform that I could use to encourage myself as well as others to chase our dreams.
    Rome Life isn't just a saying it's a way of life and for the people who want to be apart of it have to realize that. Rome wasn't built in a day it took a lot of handwork time and most importantly patience. So you can't expect your dreams to be any different

    Prince had never recorded the song for himself and took no interest in performing it in concerts, however, in the years after O'Connor turned it into a #1 hit in 1990, he began performing the song live. He performed duets with Rosie Gaines in concert and subsequently had a live performance released in 1993. I’m a huge Prince fan. But her version is gut wrenching.

    I don't think this can be classed as a cover. This version is the first time it was released on single (a version of it was previously an album track of the Family, written by Prince, but the Family's album track was not in the same league as this version). Prince released his own 'live' version of it 3 years later, but with a guest vocalist. The studio version was not released at that time. It was not until 2018 that the version featuring Prince as the vocalist was released as a single.

    Prince originally wrote this and gave it to a band called The Family, they released it first then Sinead o Connor released it in 1990. Prince didn't actually release a version of this song until it was a massive hit for Sinead.

    As an older gentleman who heard original songs before they were " sampled " I think my favourite cover is Bob Dylan's knocking on heavens door from the movie Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. You have to see the movie to get the context. However,Wycliffe Jean has a version out that beats out the original, as long as you watch the movie version first.

    I was a radio DJ when this song was introduced to the stations. I heard a lot of music every day. This song didn't seem to fit into any playlist very easily. It's a slow song, which is about the only category I can give it. It's kind of haunting, and I couldn't stop seeing her cold presentation. The song doesn't flow well and I personally find it depressing. At least then, when put up into a playlist with musicians like Wham!, Phil Collins, the BeeGees and Billy Joel.
