Tried loads of time but I can’t get into that album -XOMuggins wrote:"Sometimes it snows in April
Sometimes I feel so bad, so bad
Sometimes I wish life was never ending
And all good things, they say, never last..."
Sometimes It Snows in April is a gentle, beautiful song about death, from the soundtrack of the movie, Under the Cherry Moon. The disparity between the grace and near perfection of the album with the way off target, ridiculous and childish movie, with some of the worst kissing ever seen in public, is notable. The movie was the first directing job of Prince - who would also go on to direct the sequel to Purple Rain, Graffiti Bridge - and it is not a flattering outing. One thing that allows the Prince obsessive to watch with less pain and discomfort is the cinematography of Michael Ballhaus, frequent collaborator of Martin Scorsese, which is superb. The movie's biggest mistake, in comparison to the silly but triumphant Purple Rain, is not having more than one musical performance scene. If the film had followed the style and approach of Purple Rain, it would likely have been much more successful. No-one wants to see Prince try his hand at dramatic acting. They want to see him perform.
