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 Podcast, I talk about the spirituality found within this short but effective track.

On episode 148 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, I 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.

On episode 146 of the Press Rewind – Prince Lyrics Podcast, I head to Prince’s home studio in Orono, MN, where Prince recorded much of his Dirty Mind LP and a couple of unreleased gems, “Lisa” and “Rough.” Was “Lisa” written about his new keyboardist, Lisa Coleman? Was “Rough” intended for the first Time album? Listen to the episode and decide for yourself.
