First Time Hearing Prince

personal information has been leaked online

After you guys hyped it aws a suggestion, I was beyond excited to finally listen to Prince's legendary track "Purple Rain" for the first time. In this video, you'll see my genuine reaction and hear my thoughts on the song's powerful lyrics and dynamic sound.

As we dive into Prince's incredible career, we'll also discuss some of his memorable music videos, hit songs, and his impact on the music industry. We'll also explore his famous name change to "The artist formerly known as Prince" and the symbol he used in place of his name.

Of course, we'll also be diving deep into the music video for "Purple Rain" which as it turns out is part of a musical! And that the song was originally meant for Stevie Nicks of Fleetwood Mac. We'll explore its beautiful cinematography, symbolism, and the memorable performance by Prince himself.

So, whether you're a die-hard Prince fan or simply looking for a new musical experience, join me for this exciting journey and subscribe for more music reviews and reactions!

"Purple Rain" was really a movie, not a musical. It was a movie with lots of music in it and it is worth a watch.

Prince has so many bangers. It's such a great song. Loved your reaction on this one. It caught you by surprise in places, which was fun. So glad you loved it!

Prince was a modern Mozart. And he was probably one of the nicest musicians ever. There are many stories of him showing up in studio to jam with other artists and would end up putting down tracks on their songs completely uncredited. I'm convinced there are hundreds of amazing songs sitting in his music vault that we will never hear. So sad to have lost a generational talent like Prince.

This is from the musical Purplr Rain, filmed in Minneapolis (where I live). A lot of my friends were either in the film or worked on it. Good choice, Diane. You should also check out his Super Bowl Half-time performance of this same song - during pouring rain!

I love when a group produces two versions of a song, the clean broadcast one and the rude often filthy live one. The Beautiful South often had two of some songs, hilarious when a DJ played the wrong one on the radio and had a comfort break as it played, the show producer having kittens and fending off the calls.

Prince was an incredible musician, hugely talented with several instruments. There's an apocryphal story that a journalist asked Eric Clapton, "What's it like to be the world's best guitarist?" to which he replied, "I don't know, you'll have to ask Prince."

[ncoppens]

Definitely listen to way more of his music. Prince was an absolute genius musician and yes purple rain was a huge hit back then but I think he made so many even greater songs. Sign 'o the times for example is one of my favorites but I also really like the less known more funky stuff. He was the best live artist I have ever seen on multiple occasions.

Prince was a local hero here in Minneapolis Mn. He never moved awzy & aiways gave so much to the community here. We loved him here & we miss him. ☮️💟

[oaktree]

I like that you don’t stop the song in the middle and insert commentary, and that you listen through to the end, unlike some other reactioners. Great video!

Congratulations on discovering this LEGEND. I highly recommend that you watch the Prince Superbowl halftime show

[mikelambert]

I got to go to First Avenue when I was visiting a friend in Minneapolis, some years ago, which is where this scene was filmed, and I walked up to the stage, placed my hands on it and said to my friend, “Prince and the Revolution performed right on this stage in the film, Purple Rain.” Lol. The movie is one of my all time favorites too.

[TheCosmicGenius]

I've read that Prince almost didn't release this song, because he was afraid that the guitar solo was too close to the solo in the song, 'Faithfully', by the band, Journey. But he took a chance, & it paid off.

[suzannefriedman]

He was one of the most prolific artists of his generation. He was constantly creating and we will never see the majority of it.

sinead o'connor’s nothing compares 2 U was written by Prince.

Thanks Aura For Sponsoring so we could enjoy some musical reactions.

[miguelsantoyo]

He is one of the greatest musical icons to ever live

[Phantasm]

Singer, songwriter, lyricist, producer, multi-instrumentalist, sex symbol, music icon, music legend, music god. That's Prince.

[gillesmorin]

Prince live at the superball is on of the greatest presentation from the superball for me

[gigga]

Prince is one of my all time favorite artist of all time and Purple Rain is one of my #1 favorite songs. Prince stated the song was about being with someone you love at the end of the world, Purple Rain is symbolic and represents the rain drops falling when there is blood in the sky and letting your faith guide you through the purple rain.

[kbwhf]

I love watching your reactions especially when you start feeling the music. Prince was an amazing performer. Also don't feel bad about only being able to sing he title. I have been enjoying this song since release and I can never remember anything other than the title lol. When Doves Cry is probably my favorite from this album and I recommend giving it a listen

[shirleyujest]

I was so fortunate to see him for the Purple Rain tour in the Lakeland Civic Center. Every song was a hit. They dropped paper flowers from the ceiling. It was such an immersive experience.
