Listener Feedback Vol. 1

Lyrics, Music, Prince, Track By Track, , ,

On Episode 26.5 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, I take a brief break from going track by track in order to address a couple of recent listener comments. One is a necessary and clarifying interpretation of some of “Soft & Wet’s” most indecipherable lyrics and the other is an important take on “Sister”, interpreting the lyrics to this track from the standpoint of emotional abuse.

The goal of each episode of Press Rewind is to:

  • Take a track by track look at the lyrical content of Prince’s discography
  • Discuss my own interpretation of each song’s lyrics along with any guest I may have
  • If submitted, discuss listener’s interpretations of each song’s lyrics

Thank you for joining me on this journey through Prince’s catalog!
