[@sheiladixon9958]

l know that you know this song Motherless Child, lnspristion.walk with me,Open book, Purple Rain, there is so many I just love them all they make me cry 😭 for #1 He's not here anymore but in my ❤️ RIP LOL

[@cassandrabradley5382]

Yes, "Sometimes it Snows in April", was written on the same day of his passing, 31 years to the day. Good conversation guys.

[@mandyharris7756]

cassandra bradley In London we had some snow (in April) the week that we died too

[@julienceaser]

It wasn't written on that day but the basic tracks were recorded on that day.. According to Princevault. www.princevault.com/index.php?title=Sometimes_It_Snows_In_April

[@teacupglitterinfested1525]

That sounds like a strange coincidence. Even if sometimes it snows in April wasn’t recorded that day, that means no wonder I had that album blasting it the week he died.

[@crazyninjaa]

Thanks Prince’s Friend for having me, It was a tun of fun!

[@PrincesFriend]

It certainly was

[@KiddGoddKNG]

I'm the same age as u man, I never thought that were people like us

[@KiddGoddKNG]

What state are u In?

[@gisellamacedochang9706]

FunkChild3121 It's so nice to listen to a guy your age so well spoken, sweet and with a terrific musical taste. Congrats to you and your family!

[@keristory5978]

I wish you could have met Prince. You seem so genuine about his music and passionate about him. Yes, guys you made this 43 year old woman cry. Thank you for this video. 💜

[@elujan6001]

HAPPY TO HEAR THE YOUNG APPRECIATING OUR MUSIC. PRINCE WAS THE LAST....HE'S LEFTED IT ALL TO HELP US GO THROUGH LIFE.

[@jaydy71]

The Beautiful Ones, that one gets me every time. Great choice!

[@dbijoux9421]

I also thought of FRIEND, LOVER, SISTER, MOTHER, WIFE song that he wrote for his wedding song to Mayte…..it's the ultimate expression of love for someone. She represented his deepest sentiments that one would share genuine love in all these separate categories...but he combined all these categories of honor and love in one deeply intimate sentiment for Mayte at the time! It made me cry because of the beauty within his heart towards her. This is a great wedding dedication song also for a man to offer to his wife. The way in which Prince sang it...you could feel every word!!

[@PrincesFriend]

Great choice!

[@BB-lx7wm]

For You that's my ring tone. 😎👏 Funk Child cannot tell you how proud I am of you being so young and knowing so much about Prince's music and giving us hope that he continues to inspire. Props to your mom. You have a great singing voice. Thanks as always Prince's Friend some great top 5s and your reasons similar to mine. Here's my 5 in no order: Empty Room Anastasia The Breakdown Dreaming About U. Betcha Bygolly Wow Congrats you two the tears are not far away now 😢

[@crazyninjaa]

B B Thanks.

[@MichaelZodok]

... "and all good things they say never last." RIP Prince.

[@HamishDownie]

I have to admit, all of his songs make me feel sad since he’s passed away

[@purpracer]

I agree.. it is now 2109 and I still cry like a dove when I hear his slow songs.

[@purplearmy9773]

Forever in My Life was played at John Kennedy Jr's wedding.

[@tinaslaughter5293]

Wow did not know that. Rest in peace to all. John Kennedy Jr., Carolyn Bessette and Prince.

[@markkelly8674]

Great song

[@nisha8458]

5. Money doesn’t matter tonight 4. Still Would stand all time 3. June 2. Empty Room 1. Child Abuse

[@purplearmy9773]

SOOO nice to see young people into Prince. Excellent!

[@Noorah101]

Just saw this one and wanted to add my list. 5) The Beautiful Ones. I cry at that scene in the movie every time. 4) Friend, Lover, Sister, Mother/Wife. How sweet and loving that one woman can be all those things to him. 3) There Is Lonely. The thought of him being lonely breaks my heart. 2) Papa. The thought of abuse breaks my heart, and he sings it so emotionally. Honorable Mention goes to Sometimes it Snows in April, although it doesn't really make me cry outright. And 1) I Love U But I Don't Trust U Anymore. The thought of betrayal hurts my heart. Beautiful and touching. But I love how he ends it so strong..."you will not anymore"...

[@andrearubidge6635]

I really enjoyed this show. I agree with both of you. All are sad sweet songs.Funk Child warmed my heart. He was so knowledgeable about all the songs. I loved that he shared his feelings with his Mother. I think any mom would love to have him for her son. I know I would. I hope you will have him on again. Prince’s Friend, you had a beautiful smile on your face,but I know that was to keep you from crying. It’s been 2 years and I haven’t stopped crying yet. I really miss and love Prince,and my heart goes out to Mayte. May God Comfort those who are still hurting.💜🙏🎶☮️

[@thisisjaye]

This is an appropriate list for him. I think Prince was a very emotional person and processed his emotions through his music. We got the benefit of his beautiful expression of it. 😊

[@kennycrockett8202]

It, s hard for to say the top five cuts of Prince, cause I have all of his cuts, but one CD from the late 70,s always like Prince, s high singing with backgrounds in high singing, glad to see Prince, s music reaching now generation always liked Gold from 1995, used to sing and play Prince songs with my late brother, when I listen to Prince, I,m thinking of my brother,

[@PrincesFriend]

thanks for sharing that

[@deandrejonesakarogpurple2584]

I'm Diggin this guy. Finally, younger generations are finally starting to know who Prince is and what he's all about. Thanx funk child. My top 5 is: 5. Scandalous 4. The Ladder 3. The Cross (live) 2. Free 1. Purple Rain

[@gisellamacedochang9706]

'Reflection' from 'Musicology' is my tearjerker. 😢

[@MichaelZodok]

Wow that was incredible "Sometimes It Snows In April" and Prince died in April. It hasn't sunk in until now. Prince's Friend and Funk child thank you.

[@ronicacrutchfield2989]

The Breakdown always gets me, you can hear the pain in his voice. 😢😢

[@sperrotta91]

So good to see young Prince fans. I'm technically still in my '20s so I feel like I'm still sort of part of that group...

[@jeredwagner9132]

"Comeback" instantly comes to mind.

[@reginafris6822]

Me, too.

[@gemariahyoung5284]

#Funkchild loved the interaction between you and Princes Friend. Wonderful to here that another Mom n son are sharing the Love of Prince. My kids are all purple

[@_its_all_malcolms_fault]

I'm surprised neither one of u mentioned "The Love We Make". The last line of the second verse gets me every time, Especially having people in my family die from drug overdoses. And knowing that Prince wrote this for Jonathan Coleman who died of an overdose adds another level to it too.

[@amasajuniis4075]

Malcolm Davis ...when Prince passed I drove home and.listened to this song all the way home and cried like a new born...when he says 'sacred is the prayer that asks for nothing'...I break down.every single.time....I miss my purple yoda....

[@ToniWellons]

That one makes me emotional

[@lauracolon3511]

For the tears in your eyes... always gets me. And The Love We Make gets me at the lyric about the mother telling her baby that his savior is coming soon😭

[@LG-kx8xl]

I so love this! This young man gives me such hope that future generations will appreciate Prince, love his music & continue to learn about the fullness of his genius that will last 4ever.

[@debliedel]

This kid is so adorable!! He reminded me of myself when I first heard of P!! I was so excited, I wanted all his music, and wanted to know everything about him!! I continue to learn and soak him all in!!!

[@garfieldharrison510]

Another Lonely Christmas,was a tear jerker for me..Incredible how he emoted on that track- I have my top 5 as well . will definely post mine.

[@georgiapeach7832]

I cry every time I hear Sometimes It snows in April.

[@hlnielsen5574]

I seriously have 400 plus Prince songs on my phone and I do not have sometimes it snows in April I prefer not to cry when I am.listening to my headphones on the.bus lol

[@Linelia]

Another Lonely Christmas, Purple Rain, The Beautiful Ones, The Love We Make, Nothing Compares to You - No particular order. I will always love him! R.I.P. Phenomenal Prince

[@lovin2hear240]

What a lovely, super cool, delightful, knowledgeable, mature and confident lad. Great incitement and delivery. It is utterly awesome to discover a new generation of Prince inductees are all out there and ‘coming up’ to the plate. Prince’s teachings are obviously expanding and inspiring a new generation. How fantastic is that?!!! A wonderful interaction, BOTH OF YOU. Thank you.

[@writeadventurejulia1295]

Lovin' 2 hear right! My faith is increasing!

[@sunnyb6089]

My way back home#1.

[@ToniWellons]

God, I love this list. Prince gets me every time. It's a shame he's not here. Some of my picks for Prince tearjerkers: Sometimes it Snows in April The Ladder The Cross Purple Rain Let's Have a Baby Solo Still Waiting I Wish U Heaven

[@themovieguy2377]

Toni Wellons yes the ladder is a good one love it and the cross free and anna steisa

[@jasonbreininger7375]

Great video as usual! Always nice to know I’m not alone when it comes to getting misty eyed over certain Prince tunes.

[@sugarbum99]

Jason Breininger no. you're definitely not alone 😁

[@glshe067]

These list videos are great. The picks jump from era 2 era and reinforces how great P is.

[@stevebiesiadabada6669]

These songs are fantastic, they mean so much what he put into these , Prince. Is the best that’s why I lick all his music thank you for these Steve

[@stevebiesiadabada6669]

I meant like his fantastic music the genius, perfection, feeling , he is Prince

[@slod.3712]

Dear Mr Prince Friend, great to see and learn that all these young people can learn, share and celebrate the man and his work. Here is my list: Condition of the Heart Papa Empty room Anna Stesia And recently had a chance to listen to Wally.

[@DJMoonWalker420]

I like both lists 💯💯 - here’s my top 5 . 5. Father’s Song / Venus De Milo 4. Lets Have a Baby 3. Power Fantastic 2. Welcome 2 the Dawn 1. Purple Rain (Live from Rave Un2 the Year 2000)

[@ROCKNROLLFAN]

I cried just listening to him perform Purple Rain for the last time on the audio of the last show that I missed due to standing room admission being completely SOLD OUT when we got there.....

[@ashleywhite9858]

I loved this so much! It was great seeing FunkChild in a video for the first time! He's even younger than I am. I thought I was the youngest here. Lol! And I love all of those songs so much! Still Would Stand All Time is maybe my all-time favourite Prince song. I love it so much. Such a great video!

[@charliesylvester1303]

I remember in 2016 a few days after Princes death, it snowed where I live. I felt like Prince was letting me know he was still around even if he physically wasn’t. We miss you Prince

[@sunnyb6089]

OK! your going to make me cry ,let,s have a baby tear jerker!!

[@mathanahtawabisrael4485]

"She gave her angel" makes me cry every time.

[@PrincesFriend]

Love that song

[@Octoberthbeyond]

One of my favorites is "The Grand Progression"; makes me cry every time I listen to it. And l'm 14, if you couldn't tell before. Got a whole Prince channel and everything. Notice the profile pic? And it's great seeing other young, knowledgeable Prince fans on here as well. Most teens my age do not know Prince, or if they do it's usually something along the lines of "He's gay!" "Why do you like him so much?" Used to make me mad, but not really anymore. I have just come to accept that I will be judged as a fellow lover of Prince and his music (sometimes harshly).

[@broncodrzewogrod4500]

Forever in my life - Beautiful Ones - Father´s Song - For you - Comeback - - - What a great choice, this young guy has really a big heart for Prince. Love him for this. By the way, your choice is loveable too, of course, Prince´s friend.

[@MrAntsworldofPrince]

Great video guys nice to see the next generation of Prince friends. Deff sometimes it snows would be my number one. Just that moment in under the cherry moon when Mary says to her farther I'm going with Christopher and don't try and stop me now and sometimes kicks in oh man. Also the love we make is very emotional and she gave her Angeles.

[@robertmcowens6136]

Another Lonely Christmas... Condition of the Heart 💜💜... Free....

[@purplearmy9773]

One more comment. Funk Child, you are correct. Wendy and Lisa confirmed Sometimes it Snows in April was written on April 21st back in the day.

[@nicolepisano3848]

You both have amazing choices. Thank you for making this video.

[@PrincesFriend]

Thank you for watching

[@leslie6049]

And also.. you guys had some great choices! Funk Child seems very mature with his music and personality..i enjoyed this list very much!

[@PrincesFriend]

He definitely is! Really cool kid.

[@leslie6049]

Prince's Friend ..Sometimes it snows in April was my #1 in my head as soon as i read the title of the video:) I've listened to Prince since 1979 and that song is still my tear jerker..ALSO..oh Lord..the song STILL WILL STAND ALL TIME..i cant..im crying..i have always Loved that song!! both of your choices were excellent..and i do Love that sing Baltimore also. Wow..this channel is my favorite channel..i wait for the notifications like a kid in a candy store LOL:)

[@Unraveledcrafter]

Wherever U go, whatever U do. . I always get misty eyed listening to it and I think it gets forgotten a lot.

[@titojr8575]

Sometimes it Snows in April! I cried alot 2 this song way before his death. Same with Still...

[@RickDeRuler]

Wow funk child is 15? I was wonder what’s “young” was because I’m 28 lol. I used to think I was the youngest Prince fan (fan since 3121). Im glad the internet is showcasing Princes timeless catalog.

[@writeadventurejulia1295]

Mike Wazowski right!

[@jeffnorris3913]

52yrs . Prince taught me much. So much applied. Miss him.

[@MandyWatts]

Both great choices. 'Sometimes it Snows.....' has to be no 1 for me too but 'I Love You but I Don't Trust you Anymore' would be pretty high up there too.

[@PrincesFriend]

Oh great one

[@cathleenwarner1778]

Uh, that one's so depressing, especially when you remember that he's using what Mayte said to him and putting it in a song

[@mathanahtawabisrael4485]

19 here! Been a fam member since 2014.

[@PrincesFriend]

Welcome!

[@martinbuckberry4539]

Nothing Compares 2 U always gets me.

[@robeyganz213]

Senseless emotional babble i have..... I am a one time platinum sales recipient for record I did years ago and I come from the record industry I am not producing my first film and I just wanted to comment to say prince is a very real part of me in my growing up I am 49 years old now and time goes on my wife of 24 years has decided to leave. She was totally non-industry related and I believe that was the reason she decided to leave. Your Channel your subject of Prince is very nostalgic and I thought to tell you. Thank you for being here. RG (EMPATHY)

[@glshe067]

Sometimes It Snows in April. I Can't Make U Love Me Nothing Compares 2U Purple Rain Somebody's Somebody Is This Really Goodbye The Ladder Fathers Song Holy River Friend Mother Sister Lover Wife Gold I know my list is 2 long...but u both convinced me of 4ever In My Life. Love that song😉

[@sherisnyder3850]

OMGoodness, I cry BUCKETS every time I hear Purple Rain! Every. Single. Time. 💜

[@PrincesFriend]

💜💜

[@pamweiss3857]

very cool to see a young Prince fan/fam 💜 My tearjerkers, since he's passed, are: 1) Way Back Home 2) Eye Love U But Eye Don't Trust You Anymore 3) The Breakdown 4) Condition of the Heart. 5) Comeback. Honorable mentions: Purple Rain (because it was my first Prince concert, but yeah, too many people playing it now have sorta dulled its' impact) & Sometimes It Snows in April (because when I saw The Revolution in concert a couple years ago, Wendy's heartfelt intro to the song and her & Lisa playing & singing it, you could feel the emotion, they hadn't done many concerts at that time, so you could see & feel the authenticity & rawness & Wendy's tears).

[@Dluck7]

Condition Of The Heart gets my number 1. The build up at the end just chokes me up every time!!!

[@aamlam]

I love the young man on your show, impressive! Sometimes it Snows In April can make me cry, but I heard it so much and cried so much, I have no tears left for that song. There is still one song that makes me cry The Arms Of Orion, I still cry.

[@andrearubidge6635]

Hi PF,,,, I enjoyed this so much the first time, I watched it again today. If you ever think you need a side kick , I think Funk Child would fill the Bill. Guess I am partial to the younger set,as I was a Teacher for the Hearing Impaired and Autistic Children for 26 years. My heart is with our future Adults Of America who have special needs. Thank you PF for helping to include many youth learn and to discuss music.. In most schools, music has been removed from our schools. I didn’t teach music ,but I love it. I can’t discuss music,but you can. I just love it. It makes me laugh and cry. It’s like a good movie. 83

[@PrincesFriend]

Hey 83! He’s really awesome! He’s got his own channel too where he posts music. Way talented kid.

[@bigbaby6143]

Purple Rain ☔️ guitar 🎸 solo is the only song that made me cry 😭 and since he’s gone , quite a few hit me,break down and way back home , thanks for educating young people and keeping it real , I’m just checking out your old videos ☮️bro

[@StudioGhibliFan494]

I love Sometimes it snows in April. It makes me think of happier times with two friends, but also of the things I wish I had said to them when I had the chance. It now makes me think of Prince too, because he is sadly no longer with us.

[@margi6035]

What a delightful young man. Perhaps you could interact with him in other areas of your programme as he will encourage younger people to find Prince, I am sure. He also gives you a lighter heart towards your idol, Prince.

[@jaylouis8227]

Completely agree with Forever in my Life. Oddly enough, I'd never really paid that close attention to that song until I saw your review on Sign O The Times and the first time I listened to it after watching the review it did make me cry. Now I've listened to it every day since then. That's the type of forever every man hopes to one day have. Then of course Sometimes It Snows In April. Makes me cry a river every time I hear it. Not only for Prince who is my musical hero, but it also makes me think of my cousin who passed away over 20 years ago.

[@PrincesFriend]

Forever in my life is a powerful song. I’m honored I was able to bring it to life for you, but yes, that shows how great Prince’s music really is. :)

[@denisecappelletti2648]

Sometime it Snows in April, Open Book, Father's song, Forever in my Life, Condition of the Heart !!

[@jonsmind]

I would have added „She Gave Her Angels“ and „Baby“ to that list. Both sweet songs with the latter being a positive message about an unexpected pregnancy, and about the future father pledging his support to the expecting mother. All the choices listed in the video are great ones BTW

[@leslie6049]

LOVE THE LIST! keep them going:) there's always a top 5 something with Prince! :)

[@PrincesFriend]

I don't think we'll ever run out of lists to count down! lol

[@lavenderbee3611]

I've really enjoyed this discussion. "For You" is tears of joy because the beauty is almost unbearable. What a song to start a career. Fantastic choice Funk Child. "Sometimes it Snows in April" and "The Beautiful Ones" are so emotional and get me every time. There's a live version of "Motherless Child" from 1999 that is just incredible, wow you can tell it's personal even though it's an old spiritual.

[@dbijoux9421]

I agree with the choices of the both of you guys.....you both are heartful people...it's about the foundations in your heart ! Prince was genuinely heartful with everything.!

[@PrincesFriend]

It was hard to choose these songs and I’m happy our lists were so different. :)

[@BayeMcNeil]

1. Forever in my life 2. Still would stand all time 2. Sometimes it snows in April 4. Joy in Repetition 5. The Beautiful Ones

[@Whathandleisavailable]

I get sad vibes from Purple Rain

[@holyrivs999]

I hear U bruh as my comment agrees as well here ...

[@alanas2844]

1. Somebody somebody 2. Somewhere on Earth 3. Father song 4. Beautiful ones 5. Anastasia

[@yourbestcleanse]

1. Sometimes it Snows in April 2. Free (From 1999) 3. Another Lonely Xmas (Extended Version) 4. Purple Rain 5. Tears N ur Eyes

[@ryowastaken]

I'm 15 aswell my dad and mum showed me prince when I was little but didn't get into prince until this beginning of this year and at the moment 80's prince is more enjoyable for me. I'm still going through the discography but right now 1980 to 1993 prince is what I better connect with but hope to get into his more recent music at some point😃

[@GuitarZen83]

1.Revelation 2.The one 3. Waisted Kisses 4. Future Baby mama 5. Ur Gonna C me 6. The question of u

[@RickDeRuler]

Planet Earth is an EPIC song! The guitar solo is incredible. Him singing about our vets and that unnecessary war (Afghan and Iraq) hits home.

[@cocokippen7137]

That album is flawless Perfect The Purple Rain album is perfect and that young man describing the Beautiful Ones yes wow if that doesn't hit you like a ton of bricks I cry everytime!!💜💜⚘

[@christineanderson580]

You made me cry.

Thank u

[@live4love581]

[@perri_6]

Wonderful post! I don't have a "Top 5" but if I did _Way Back Home_ would probably be my number one. I love _Forever in My Life_ especially the live version. Prince even gets emotional after he drops the mic.

[@jaydy71]

Oh, Sometimes it Snows in April... Yes of course! I still call *that* chord the "wish" chord :) Pure genius.

[@rmm6637]

Wow these are great lists, I'm remaking my list y'all got me thinking deep!

[@StudioGhibliFan494]

It's really hard for me to pick one favourite Prince song because there is something for every emotion & every mood

[@saiyanleague653]

my Top 5 -The love we make -Purple Rain -Soul sanctuary -Father's song -Revelation

[@ylgotbars4531]

Great job guys!!!! Me and the friend both agree on Sometime it Snows in April. Since the passing I can't listen at all to that song. Only song I have on my top 5 not on here is "Until U're In My Arms again" which was beautiful. (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXuqe2uadriDZ8U) and sometimes I get teary on "Somewhere Here On Earth". (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZqWnXSFop1rl7c). Just the greatest artist ever and I['m soooooo glad Funk Child will keep his legacy going for the young generation and who say young folk don't know good music!!!

[@mellodope8904]

I like the idea of doing the lists with your subscribers. Makes it more personal. Share the funk!🖤💜

[@cathylee5840]

[@mikigross2323]

Love the way you guys brought this together. So smooth and yes, some of them did and still do bring tears to my eyes. Thank you. Great video and your channel is so good.

[@Alootbs]

Has to be Beautiful Ones but the extended version and then An Honest Man, Another Lonely Christmas, Power Fantastic, and Free. Great list as always. So many lists, not enough space. "Drops the mouse."

[@heatherallingham7120]

Having an old person moment. Ypu see, back in the olden days, an actual "tear jerker" involved a sad, sloppy story that was strategically written to make ypu cry and not just a song that was emotional or poignant. The term was a bit derogatory...it applied to soap operas, melodrama and songs like Last Kiss or Tell Laura I Love Her. The closest I can think of to an actual classic tear jerker by Prince would be I Could Never Take the Pace of Your Man, and even then...Prince is not sloppy about it, just natural

[@staceyteater3836]

Awesome list guys. They all were definitely tear jerking songs. But you guys forgot one of my favorite ones that makes me cry and especially now that he's transcended and that is "Until You're In My Arm's Again" from the New Power Soul album it really gets to me every time I hear it. But yeah Funk Child is definitely a cool kid. It makes me feel good to see all the younger generation of children listening to my favorite singer of all times and proves that Prince is Eternity and will always live on through all of us and ext.

[@PrinceEvaNelson]

I REALLY enjoyed this video!! Funk Child was soooo ADORABLE & Prince would be sooo proud to see this young man appreciating his musical gift. One song that immediately comes to my mind is "Condition of the Heart". That seems to make me sad. However, u guys had great top 5 👏👏😁

[@PrincesFriend]

Thanks so much! And yes, FunkChild is the best!
