  • A timeless classic. I never cry, but this song frequently moves me to tears.

  • This is one of those songs where I listen and never even care about what the actual video is....

  • Comment removed

  • This is also feature in the last scene in Spike Lee's Girl 6.

    Definitely a beautiful classic and rare song.

  • This is one of those songs you can't listen to after someone you know passes away.....its too heavy.

  • i love when music inspires people..and here i can read manu beautiful comments,,,this means the song inspired you people,so does to me,now its 1:43 am,10/02/2012 in north florence,italy,the weather is windy out there,i am alone with my cat here listening to this wonder of song....yes,great music can make you create images in your head,re-live the past,imagine the future and so on...and prince did prove he was,and still is the genius of our time....goodnight everybody

  • John, Jason and I were once three, till some crazy bitch hit jason on his bike, leaving just big John and me, Then health problems took John from me, now all i can do is think of the times when we were three, RIP John & Jason

  • @MotownMaster man,we don't know each others,but what you say is so deep i can almost feel that kind of feeling myself,i've had my share of sadness too,all i want to say to you now is just"keep this bittersweet memory with you,it's a glimpse of time,as long as you have the courage to go there when you need it,you will be there again,even if for some moments" big hug,andre from italy

  • Dan ate a shotgun, and Greg used a rope.... Hate the world sometimes when I wake up and realize I can't go see them.......

  • For me, Tracy symbolized my good friend Daniel Welshans, and also my good friend Greg Hill of St Louis. Both of them had a greater right to still be here than I do now. Daniel, everyone in Wakefield, KS misses you every day. Dear Greg, 331 alumni of KU class of '94 still talk about you every day. Love Clark, Charlie, Dean, Dirty Steve, Rob, Mike, Brian, Little Doug, Crazy Katy, Rick Christ, Mark Simon, Matt Travis, Scott Allen, Marshall, Little Erica,Big Michelle, and the rest... oh god!

  • I actually like Under the cherry moon and Graffiti Bridge, I didn't watch them to see if they were like purple rain, I just was interested in seeing more of Prince. It's weird I think he's the coolest thing ever when other ppl thinks he's just weird, I guess they just don't know!

  • @123breakinout they really dont 

  • @123breakinout. I just clicked the "thumb up" for you about 100 times for your statement.

  • I love this song so much . It makes me think of people in my life who are no longer here . RIP everyone , see you soon .

  • Its the song from Under A Cherry Moon not Purple Rain but am betting youre getting fed up of people telling you that!

    I love this song and its a perfect Sunday morning song ;) I adore Prince btw!

  • Thank you for providing me with this version of this song. Under The Cherry Moon was not Purple Rain, but it did have (to me) a great musical score.

  • So True. Love u, always.....

  • Yust, beautiful song!

  • R.I.P. Clare Fischer

  • @SixSevenEightyThree R.I.P. (Return If Possible)

  • He is the total package of sexiness

  • I say it again with pleasure: Take Mozart, take Bach, take Beethoven, put all famous classic musician together and you will get PRINCE !!!

  • @smashdownde prince rules under any moon- full - half- cherry- nobody more talented on this planet !

  • @ShadesOfRapture i agree. losers make fun of prince. prince is one top ten artist of all time,for sure!!!!

  • :')

  • I am so glad to read all these beautiful thoughts that come after listening to this very strong and difficult song,

    I am French and whatever our differences, our culture, our distance, the feeling of being here sharing songs like this one and living our lives is making us more human and closer,

  • @benoitvingtsix GOD BLESS YOU

  • @benoitvingtsix Bien dit!! bravo! Magnifique. Merci. Car c'est ça la France. Une universalité. Parfois appelée humanisme. Mais que cette chanson est belle en effet. 25 ans qu'elle me bouleverse par moments. 25 ans putain. Et je me réjouis de croiser ici un français sensible aussi à cette beauté. Car c'est aussi ça la beauté de la France et de sa culture, une sensibilité à cette beauté universelle. Alors merci pour ton commentaire si sincère. Merci. Les bons esprits se retrouveront. Comme il dit.

  • I miss my old friend Alberto G. R.I.P...

  • This to me is one of the best songs ever written.

    Love preforming it with overloaded emotions

    Thank you Prince

  • @giovanniherdigein yesyesyes- prince reins supreme!!!!

  • Just when I think I can't discover any new Prince songs I love, I find one. And this is my latest discovery. What an absolutely stunning song. This man is an absolute genius. So diverse. ♥

  • @FDGFEGREG35435436NEW and yet there are so many more!!!

  • I found Nemo...

    

  • The stuff this guy comes up with is incredible! Keep in mind, this is the same dude who wrote 1999, Let's Go Crazy, Up town, I Wanna Be Your Lover, etc.. He is just so dam creative!

  • Me jerk don't hate me!

  • Dis sung always makes me start cryin' . . . eye miss my mom soOo much Kirk . . . eye dedicate dis sung to her . . .

  • This song makes me cry almost every time i hear it...thank u prince

  • This is a beautiful sad song. What is it's meaning?

    I'm not gay, but it seems to me it is a song about a person who is gay and has died. (long fought civil war)

    ...or does everyone find their own meaning?

    please give me your interpretation. :(

    :)

    :P

  • @Joxman2k -- I always thought of it as a song about a good friend who died of AIDS, as the song came out in 1986, when that terrible disease became widely identified.

    But yeah, it means what it means to you --- that's what matters.

  • @maxmillion99

    Ya well I agree, but it does feel different too. I don't know , but Im straight.

    ARRRG I don't know why but it feels close to my heart and sad.......I don't care if it sounds gay.

    :)

    :P

  • @maxmillion99

    sorry friend :)

    I care about you friend too, even though I never met him :)

    :P

  • f i miss him: i would run to buy all his new works::: too bad!

  • To cry is a release.. takes some a lifetime to realize.. I was taught it's weak.. its difficult to cry.. to release.. takes bravery.. beautiful song heals me... A soulmate committed suicide when I was 16 & I will dance alone forever

  • This song shows a true emotional content on a level that only a true and sincere artist/human could bring to this sad sad cruel and mixed up world

  • Thanks for posting this.

  • you surely carnt hun xx

  • Why does every beautiful song on Youtube involving death become a goddamned obituary page?

  • @tomfong292 This is not just a 'beautiful song', if you actually listen to it, it's a song *about* death, so it's not surprising that the comments section has become a "goddamned obituary"... have some fucking respect.

  • @TomBandfield If you read my comment you'd see I acknowledge that it's a song about death. My question, which you did not answer, is why people feel the need to turn the comment section of every song about death into an obituary page.

  • @TomBandfield....and you could show just as much respect for realizing that people see things their own way. While you might be right about your assessment, the other folks are no less correct about their vision of this song or how they see it. To each, their own, my friend.

  • @tomfong292 loooooool

  • I like many types of music and artists, I seriously want to know who comes close to Prince, especially his lyrics.

  • @mrmurrythegreat I recently lost an aunt and my grandfather and my heart goes out to everyone here who has lost and are lost themselves. Only cry for love never cry for pain. I hope that doesn't sound corny, and if it does oh well.

  • @Salsag3v420

    sorry for your loss :(

  • So beautiful yet so sad

  • always cry for love, never cry for pain

  • AWSOME!!!! Pray for those who are in the midst of a civil war. Prince wrote THE answer to that war...THE CROSS. If you know a "Tracy", go check on them, tell'em you love'em....you never know when it will snow in April for them.

  • @slydiggum

    to me "civil war" means an internal struggle.

  • My wife listens to this song allot and absolutely loves Prince, her grandmother died in 2000 and so she hears it and often cries.

  • I love this song, it touches my soul

    Thank you my brother for this wonderful gift from God

    Bless you

  • you carnt beat prince

  • THANKS FOR POSTING THIS SONG BRINGS ME A LOT OF MEMORIES

  • Sorry voicedood....

  • song is in the movie " GIRL 6 "

  • Thank you Prince for the music...I wish he read these post, to see he has fans of his style and music....my mother who is no longer here loved prince and this song...r.i.p. mom

    cry for love no pain!

  • One of the most beautiful ballads ever written in my humble.

    Just beacause of memories i have when i first heard it.

    She knows who she is.......

  • I lost a really close friend who was beautiful w a broken heart, he hung himself, and I wish that I had been there more for him.

    This song reminds me of what great light is missing from this earth, I love you Vinnie.

  • Is this a cover or no? It sounds like it could be Prince.

  • @KrfNYC2 no this is really Prince. He sang this for the movie he directed and starred in called Under the Cherry Moon. (amazing movie) This is about the main character Christopher Tracy (played by Prince) tragically dying

  • I really hope that Emma Louise will make a cover of this song...

  • We had a a sudden and tragic death of a dear friend that is truly missed " EL OSO", the biggest Chicago Bear's fan I know of... From La Puente, California. Father, son and a dear friend... In your precious memory. 8/12/76- 4/1/11

  • This song brings a tear to my eye every time.

  • @andrewmark115 why?

  • I'm a 16 year old boy, and this makes me cry like a baby. not gonna lie.

  • the music and the melodies are just so tranquil.

  • this is so beautiful!

  • This song is for the friends I have lost....in the past 7months

    Steve Aka Salty dawwg, Eddie Aka kemosabie,Marty Aka Marty Mars...

    Forever you guys touched my heart and taught me what friends truly are and have no value at all...but for just one of you to be back,,I would give all I have

  • One of the most beautiful songs ever recorded

  • Beautiful song from a Beautiful Person

  • La da da dum.

  • Actually I find it the most depressing song since Eleanor Rigby

  • voicedood powerfull isnt it i lost a son it wasent in april but who gives a fuck lifes a bitch but tunes like this just calm me down sorry for your loss bro

  • I'M WITH LOTTA TROUBLEMAKER ....Thanks for posting this .Makes me remember and touches my heart of so many even some love ones that are alive and we no longer correspond.(Philly,Pa.)

    mrbiggie2hot

  • Only Prince could write a song like this...

  • Thanks so much for posting this. So comforting right now, in Norway...

  • Still brings me to tears...

  • fantastique et sublimement beau

  • ma chanson préférée du génie prince

    bouleversante ;la mélodie ,la voix comme en apesanteur me laissent sur le carreau a chaque écoute

    je me souviens l'avoir entendu pour la première fois sur le disc-man -(souvenirs , souvenirs) d'une amie en plein quartier latin dans la nuit froide d'un hiver parisien

  • wow i bought parade on vinyl in 1986...i was 12 and to this day this song brings back so many amazing memories...a very unique and delicious song

  • I wonder if he sings of his baby....

  • What I love about this song is that even though it talks about loss it also conveys a sense of peace, the type of peace you find after a long fought war is over. Prince is a musical genius but he's also an expert of the human feelings. I also love the little video the uploader has created. The child-like quality of the looped images are haunting and very meaningful from the point of view of someone who's mourning. I hope that's how we feel when we die :))

  • I lost my best friend one year ago today. And someone posted this on his fb page. Now everytime I hear this. I just reflect on all the good times we had. R.I.P Darryl!

  • I saw this concert...and the movie...sat thru it twice in one day. I LOVE this song...makes me cry every time. Prince could sing it to me any time...

  • man i cried the first time i herd this song one my faves

  • simply emotional

  • i used to listen to this when i was cuddled up with my first girlfriend, aged 17, listening to the rain outside. magical moment.

  • i used to cry to this song in 89. it is now irrelevant compared to some of you poor people

  • Omfg!

  • this is 2 voicedood my sympathies and this is a beautiful haunting song.......but as musicians we always hope a song touches somebody........keep this close 2 your heart dude....who cares what others think!

  • been a while - it was a song that my best friend loved. goosepimples

  • This is one of my favorite songs ever.....by the master

  • One of my favorite songs of all time. easily.

  • Even though, he is a music icon when you go back and listen to his body of work you realize he was aheayoud of time. He is truly music royalty broke the mold. nuff said. and if you dont know you dont know.

    Bo Bailey

  • Happy Birthday Prince!!

  • dont ever die Prince

  • One of my all time favs from Prince's genius....my condolences to "Voicedood"....keep the wonderful memories always for/to your brother....

  • how sad and beautiful is this song at the same time...my heart and prayers go out to all those healing from the loss of a loved one xoxxoxox

  • @tashatasha77 Tasha, you are so right.I have always loved this song..........Prince is the best ever.....he is soooo talented and He has given us all precious gifts with his music.

  • @jagwaar I couldnt agree more:)

  • @jagwaar definetly:)

  • @tashatasha77 Thank you. :)

  • I want this played at my funeral. My name just happens to be Tracie, and I'm a female, so some of the lyrics (he, his, etc) will have to be changed, but the whole rest of this song is what I hope someone out there will feel about me when I'm gone. ♥

  • LOVE THIS SONG

  • Love this song so much; thank you.

  • When I couldn't stand the pain of infection and destruction my body was going through I would have this song played for me. It always reminded me no matter how badly I was doing at least I was still here, and others weren't. This is one of my top Prince songs and it ALWAYS makes me cry. UTCM is my favorite Prince movie. I am SO glad he exists. And it snowed here this past April!! ;p

  • my fiance and i broke up on April 19 in Oklahoma on the exact day the murrah building was destroyed. He left at 6 am, then the rest of the world fell apart. I was listening to this song and solo and i hate you by prince. I remember back to that day every time I listen to this song. I still love that man even after 15 years. and still single cuz i can't love any one else like that. and it did snow in April this year. and I reminisced on this song.

  • @mamacitarules That's so sad, I truly hope you find great happiness in life <3

  • I had this on in the car on my way to work the other day and nearly crashed because i couldn't see for tears! Dangerous. It has such beautiful chord changes.

  • I have got over a 1000 CD's but this is the most beautiful song i know.

    Haha, sick.. ; )

  • Heard this song at a funeral. Cried then, cries now.

  • In the Loving Memory of the biggest chicago Bears fan ( AD), this coming from the biggest Packer fan. A Superbowl Champs 45... i love u homie and ty Timoteo... :) Outstanding Ma.

  • its so sad it makes me cry ;(

  • no song makes me cry more than this one and this woman's work by kate bush

  • My brother died on April 30th, 2000 from his own civil war with alcoholism. Thank you Prince for having written this beautifully haunting song to remember him with. I knew when I first heard it in 'under the cherry moon', it would mean something so much more to me one day..

  • @voicedood So sorry Hx

    

  • @voicedood  all the best my friend

  • @voicedood my twin brother ronan died in 1998-he was a massive Prince fan - its a help to know that he knew the song I would mourn him by-going to see Prince on Saturday in Ireland

  • @voicedood I'm sorry to hear bro. R.I.P. To all our friends & family who have gone to be with the Lord.

  • @voicedood it was on the album "Parade" with kiss. under the cherry moon is on "the black album" i think...

  • @voicedood I think about that comment now every time i here this song. I'm sorry

  • Thank you very much, for being a genius.

  • Its funny.. whoever uploaded this video.. made it with fish... it's kind of cool you did that. Everyone I know has a different interpretation of this song...

    This movie came out the same year my brother committed suicide..

    I like the fish..

    sort of relaxing and peaceful..

    thanks

  • This man makes me proud to be from Minneapolis! ;D

  • One of the best songs on Parade.

  • Saw Prince do this live in a duet with Layla Hatthaway on the Welcome 2 America Tour and one momment into the song the whole stadium got silent and i screamed out I LUV U!!!!! That was a wonderful momment!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • My Uncle Georgie just passed away and this is the first song I wanted to listen to - thank you...

  • I think of this every year when it snows in april

  • Can't agree this is Prince "greatest song", not by a long shot! But it is probably his best melancholy and emotional evoking work. Reminds me of those that passed that I actually cared about, probably why I don't listen to this song much. I hold them close even in death. Also reminds me of Condition of the Heart off of Around the World in a Day album. Good song nonetheless.

  • @Capius1272 Wow i totally agree!! Condition of the Heart is underratedly beautiful!!!! Around the World in a Day is my fave albulm by Prince :-)

  • @tinapbutler I concur that, Around The World, is a fave of mine as well and Condition of the Hearts is eerily beautiful as it is underrated as an emotional evoking song. I still favor the smorgasbord of sounds and dynamism of Sign O' the Times, though. Listening to "You Got That Look" right now, lol.

  • @Capius1272 Sign O' the Times is an excellent albulm!!!! I listened 2 that albulm almost everyday 4 about a year!!! LOL!!! My fave song on that one is Play in the Sunshine!!!!!

  • listening to it again made me cry thinking of my grandma who has recently diagnosed with cancer

  • I must agree 11 months later Joda. One of the greatest songs in the world. Nice work Fishhead. Thank you...

  • R.I.P. Sander...

  • My favorite of all Prince songs...

  • This is my mom's favorite song. Her and my dad played it all the time when they started dating. Now they are in a divorce and I can't stop listening to it.

  • @Minerva727 sorry 2 hear that .... its a sad song

  • This song reminded me of my cousin Uffe who killed himself 7 years ago. Now I'm 16 and I've started asking questions about it. There's so much no one ever told me. I would probably never have asked if this song hadn't reminded me of it. Thank you for this beautiful song Prince and RIP Ulf <3

  • Those fish are off the pickle!

  • Eleven years ago this month my brother passed. I can only let my self hear this song once or twice around this time of year., I miss you big brother..

  • @voicedood my best friend since high school died 2 years ago at 37 and this song brings me a lot closer 2 my homeys spirit he was my only FRIEND(true)

  • Love this song. ever since i was 14. but to the people who want it played at their funerals.. please do what i have done.. dont put your body in the ground, donate it to a training hospital. That way some new doctors can get some training. Save lives!

  • This was my mommas favorite Prince song every time I hear it I cry

  • Possible April snow in NYC this weekend!

    #excited

  • I want this song for my funerals alongside The End from The Doors...

  • This song will be played at my funeral. The lyrics will be tweaked because I'm a female. Named Tracie. ♥

  • i only heard this for the first time this week, just left me absolutely speechless, so utterly beautiful!

  • THE TWO THAT DISLIKED THIS HAVE NO HEART OR SOUL...
