"U R the 1 that makes my love shout..."

Track 7: Prince, "Another Lonely Christmas"

Wherein we hear the tale of our narrator's lover, who had the audacity 2 leave him [1] on Christmas day.

This was a b-side to "I Would Die 4 U" from Purple Rain, and it sounds like it, all the way down to that fading synthesizer at the end. It's a gorgeous ballad that's as big & melodramatic as, say, "Darling Nikki" or "The Beautiful Ones" (to name an applicable few). It's so good.

"Banana daiquiri," though?

Every Christmas night 4 7 years now
I drink banana daiquiris 'til I'm blind

I don't know if I'd've imagined Prince a banana dacquiri man.

[1] Well... 2 die.
