Prince ~ Nothing Compares 2 U

Oh media, I love modern media and lack of depth in meaning. I loved both Prince and Sinead, and this isn't to measure the depths of emotions conveyed in a song, I love how they took the same meanings, one managed to find a bittersweet song, as his was a celebration of love even though sad, and her's was of a lost love never to be repaired where she will forever be forsaken. It's beautiful how the same words, strung together by different emotions, played out in voice and instruments, changes the renditions so intimately.

I loved both Prince's and Sinead's versions of this song. Both convey so much emotion. I prefer Prince's version myself. As you say, a celebration of love , but, sad. Sinead to me was a modern Joan of Arc of sorts. I loved her music. But, Prince and his music has always conveyed many different emotions for me. Happiness, love, sadness.....🙏

I agree with you on modern media and lack of depth in meaning. Thank you for posting Prince's wonderful version! Here's to the Purple One....💜

@SW-User They didn't do their research is the honest summary of that. They are put into position to write as journalists, often not for what they hold passion for, and it comes out in the articles....

@SW-User Just let me add that the video footage of Prince's version you shared was bittersweet and amazing at best. I've never seen that! ☺️

@SW-User Aww, it was released after her version. He wrote it. Never released it, and somehow it got shared with her... It is oh so very bittersweet, his version, that even the 12 year old boy who loved Sinead's version, me, feels he got it right first try. ☺️
