The Second Coming: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



Prince opened each show on the Controversy tour by playing an acapella gospel hymn, “The Second Coming,” over the PA system for concert attendees. What is this song actually about, though? On episode 149 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics PodcastI talk about the spirituality found within this short but effective track.

Broken: Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast



On episode 148 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics PodcastI talk about the unreleased companion to Dirty Mind’s “Gotta Broken Heart Again,” “Broken.” Prince still isn’t over being dumped, but at least he knows how to throw an awesome old-fashioned rave-up to celebrate his woes.
