On Episode 62 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, Todd Sanzone & I experience a sad and depressing Christmas in May through the lyrics to Prince’s B-side, “Another Lonely Christmas.” We drink some banana daiquiris, have a good cry and try to figure out what this poor girl died from (pneumonia? stress? strep?)
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!

I bought the 12-inch for “I Would Die 4 U” with the extended version of “Another Lonely Christmas” on vinyl back in 1984, so I never heard the single edit until the Hits/B-sides. Thanks again for the analysis; for the longest time, I didn’t know all the lyrics.
Like with most extended versions of Prince songs, I think the 12″ version of Another Lonely Christmas is the superior version anyway!
