I am honored to be one of nine contributors creating Twitter threads on #Prince’s “Purple Rain” album. Today, we’ll explore “I Would Die 4 U,” the fourth single, which became another top-ten hit. #PurpleRain9on9
Shout out to all of the other participants so far: @NightEthereal, @arrthurr, @antski74, @CaseyRain, @EdgarKruize and @scottwoodssays. Look for threads by @PrincesFriendYT and @deejayumb on Wednesday and Thursday, respectively.
With “I Would Die 4 U,” Prince created a pop masterpiece that honors the movie, his real-life parents and his spirituality in less than three minutes:
Welcome to the sixth installment of multi-authored Twitter threads dedicated to #Prince's Purple Rain album. Each day is dedicated to one song, posted by one author, and today is my turn. Keeping with the order of the album, my song is “When Doves Cry.”

Computer Blue is where Early 80's Minneapolis grinding rock guitars, synths and LinnDrums meet the future cybernetic sexual dystopian landscape of Blade Runner for one of Prince's most powerful grooves.
Recorded on 8th Aug '83 at The Warehouse in St Louis Park, Computer Blue is notable in that Prince had to figure out the difficult task of repeatedly cutting down a groove that don't quit into an acceptable length for an album. Longer jams were the standard on 1999, but not here.
