Purple Rain (original) (raw)

Sometime during the half-year stretch when 1984’s Purple Rain was the most popular album in America, Tipper Gore, wife of then-senator Al Gore, walked in on their 11-year-old daughter listening to the song “Darling Nikki.” She was shocked.

(展开全部) Sometime during the half-year stretch when 1984’s Purple Rain was the most popular album in America, Tipper Gore, wife of then-senator Al Gore, walked in on their 11-year-old daughter listening to the song “Darling Nikki.” She was shocked. The lyrics—with their references to pornography, masturbation, sex toys, and sex itself—seemed inappropriate for a child. Within a year or so, she’d formed a committee called Parents Music Resource Center, designed to raise awareness about the moral evils of pop music—a campaign that went so far as to put stickers on the albums themselves: “Parental Advisory: Explicit Content.”
Of course, to hear “Darling Nikki” as a song only about sex is to miss the point, and to reduce “sex” in the world of Prince to the physical act is to miss it further. The brilliance of Purple Rain is how it stirs seemingly contradictory moods—lust, devotion, intimacy, alienation—into a brew where nothing can be separated from anything else. He makes trauma sound erotic (“When Doves Cry”) and salvation sound reckless (“Let’s Go Crazy”). His sexual escapades are spiritual, disorienting, and almost psychedelic (“Darling Nikki,” “Computer Blue”), while his spiritual journeys are grounded in the mechanics of a guitar solo (“Purple Rain”).
In putting together Prince’s wardrobe for the movie that the album soundtracked, costume designer Marie France noticed the way he was drawn to contrasts: a silk trench coat with punky silver studs; clean, masculine lines with feminine fabrics like lace and chiffon; the edgy and the romantic. He often drew comparisons to Jimi Hendrix for the way he mixed music that felt Black and white, sacred and profane (even though, as he pointed out, his playing was more like Santana’s). The reality is that he had no precedent then and no comparison now. Tipper Gore may have been right in her panic over “Darling Nikki,” but not for the reasons she thought: The song’s power isn’t just that it’s explicit, but that it manages to be mysterious at the same time.

喜欢听"Purple Rain"的人也喜欢的唱片 · · · · · ·
还是不喜欢，前几首很MJ的动词大词，中间一些中速抒情，嗓音一如既往的骚但并没什么迷人效果，结尾同名尾大不掉，不过全专各处有几个小节电吉他奇怪的很耳熟
When Doves Cry
我怀疑那些打1星和2星人的智商是不是有问题
终于来了 新迷幻 佩斯利地下 封面也能看出来 那些花可不就是么 中间的照片则又能体现urban感 这也是他最为人熟知的专辑了 好听程度也是最顶级的 虽说把游行 时代标记 黄金体验 解放搬出来 或许可以从质量上超过这张 但感情上确实没法比 何况urban时代的霓虹感 太让人难忘了

听王子倒是又回到那种自然的感觉，明明音乐也不是那么简单，但听感就是很自然而然。
不喜欢

黑白乐派混合后是紫色的
如果从时代性上来看，这张专辑总有一点让人嫌弃——史上第一张打上“脏标”的专辑。当然，这不是史上在歌词描写方面上最脏的专辑，后辈的不少Rapper早已在此类问题上超越人类底线。然而，相比于单调鼓机和缺乏技术含量的部分说唱歌手，Prince脏的很高明、脏的很有技术。 ... (展开)

天才般的想象力汇聚于此
众所周知，prince是一位擅长流派融合的音乐人，在1980年发行的《dirty mind》就开始尝试了synth funk的融合，在1982年发行的《1999》又进行了一次飞跃，在合成器放克舞曲电子融合上除了长也挑不出其他问题，1984年prince组建了The Revolution乐队发行了专辑《Purple Rain》，这... (展开)

流行音乐要都是这个水平，我还是听流行好了！
如果你非要把这张专辑当作是同名电影的原声音乐专辑的话，那么，它有可能是史上最强大的电影原声，即使是在音乐传记类的影片里。但是很显然，并不是因为电影才伟大，恰恰相反，看过这部勉为其难差强人意的电影的人基本都是为了音乐去的吧，其实，说句题外话，女主... (展开)

紫雨落入了我的青春
因为爸爸很喜欢美国的各种乐队，有一次他随口提起了Prince，我便上网搜专辑来听。 高三那年，我早早开车送自己上学，把自己送往遥远的未来，无聊的统考。每天早上6点30分，一个人从床上爬起来，吃早饭，背起书包，以及带上那部卡到令人分分钟钟愤怒的红米手机上车。车是国产的... (展开)

于我而言就是这样的雨
就像在心里下了一场不需要打伞的雨 你走在空空的小巷 街灯是橘红色的 巷子的尽头有一道光 于是你开始奔跑 雨越来越大 打湿了你的头发 是一个穿着紫色衣服的男人在唱歌 空气混着雨混着歌声变成纠葛缠绵的紫色 拉长的尾音是遗憾 是牺牲 是迸裂 是呼唤 不需要再思考 原来你找到了... (展开)

Purple Rain
40年前，这位传奇的摇滚歌手发行了这张职业生涯销量最高的经典专辑。诡异的尖叫和精准的吉他，融入饱满的情绪，铸就了这张不可复制的摇滚杰作。 Track1【Let's Go Crazy】作为Intro，用以人生尽兴为精神的文字开场。当鼓声响起的时候，摇滚的态度和情绪一路向上，丝滑般展开，... (展开)
