SOMETIMES IT SNOWS IN APRIL

Prince - Sometimes it snows in april from http://edsperience.vox.com/

Una delle più grandi e meno conosciute canzoni di Prince, una delle più grandi canzoni di sempre.
Con il contributo di Wendy e Lisa, il nostro artista tutto-genio-e-sregolatezza inserì questa gemma in Parade, album molto noto per la ben più nota Kiss.
Ma è in Sometimes it snows in April, canzone per chi ci ha lasciato, che l'album trova il suo epicentro ed il suo cuore.
Sotto il testo.
E un pensiero a chi non c'è più ma...non si sa mai, a volte nevica anche in Aprile....


Tracy died soon after a long fought civil war
Just after I wiped away his last tear
I guess he's better off than he was before
A whole lot better off than the fools he left here
I used 2 cry 4 Tracy ‘cause he was my only friend
Those kind of cars don't pass U every day
I used 2 cry 4 Tracy ‘cause I wanted 2 see him again
But sometimes, sometimes life ain't always the way

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
And all good things, they say, never last

Springtime was always my favorite time of year
A time 4 lovers holding hands in the rain
Now springtime only reminds me of Tracy's tears
Always cry 4 love, never cry 4 pain
He used 2 say so strong, “Oh, I'm not afraid 2 die?
Unafraid of the death that left me hypnotized
U know, staring at his picture I realize
No one could cry the way my Tracy cried

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, yeah
Sometimes, sometimes I wish that life was never ending
But all good things, they say, never last

I often dream of heaven and I know that Tracy's there
I know that he has found another friend
Maybe he's found the answer 2 all the April snow
Maybe one day I'll see my Tracy again

Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish that life was never ending
But all good things, they say, never last
But all good things, they say, never last
And love, it isn't love until it's past
