미국 레전드 가수 프린스 사망

American music legend Prince died yesterday on April 21, 2016 at the age of 57

미국의 레전드 팝 가수인 프린스(Prince)가 57세의 젊은 나이로 4월 21일에 사망했습니다.

Purple Lane, When Doves Cry, U Got That Look 같은 히트곡들이 많고 마이클 잭슨에 비견되던 흑인 가수였습니다.

제가 개인적으로 제일 좋아하는 Prince의 노래는 1999 라는 노래입니다.

It's a pity because he is still quite young.

Rest In Peace.

To speak frankly, I really don't know much about Prince since I'm not American (Korean, to be precise), and I never lived in the USA although I visited there a few times.

However, I do know and like a few songs of Prince, including Purple Lane, When Doves Cry, etc.

His duet with Sheena Easton, "U Got The Look" is also a good song.

But my favorite song of his is 1999, which was released in 1982.

I have never seen the music video for 1999, and I found this on Youtube which appears to be the official music video for 1999:

I captured these pictures from the above music video:

Here is the lyric for 1999.

I was dreamin' when I wrote this 

Forgive me if it goes astray 

But when I woke up this mornin' 

Coulda sworn it was judgment day 

The sky was all purple 

There were people runnin' everywhere 

Tryin' 2 run from the destruction 

U know I didn't even care 

'Cuz they say two thousand zero zero party over 

Oops out of time 

So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999 

I was dreamin' when I wrote this 

So sue me if I go 2 fast 

But life is just a party 

And parties weren't meant 2 last 

War is all around us 

My mind says prepare 2 fight 

So if I gotta die 

I'm gonna listen 2 my body tonight 

Yeah, they say two thousand zero zero party over 

Oops out of time 

So tonight I'm gonna party like it's 1999 

Yeah 

Lemme tell ya somethin' 

If U didn't come 2 party 

Don't bother knockin' on my door 

I got a lion in my pocket 

And baby he's ready 2 roar 

Yeah, everybody's got a bomb 

We could all die any day 

But before I'll let that happen 

I'll dance my life away 

They say two thousand zero zero party over 

Oops out of time 

We're runnin' outta time 

So tonight we gonna, we gonna (Tonight I'm gonna party like 

it's 1999) 

Say it 1 more time 

Two thousand zero zero party over 

Oops out of time 

No, no 

So tonight we gonna, we gonna (Tonight I'm gonna party like 

it's 1999) 

Alright, it's 1999 

You say it, 1999 

1999 

1999 don't stop, don't stop, say it 1 more time 

Two thousand zero zero party over 

Oops out of time 

Yeah, Yeah 

So tonight we gonna, we gonna (Tonight I'm gonna party like 

it's 1999) 

Yeah, 1999 (1999) 

Don'tcha wanna go (1999) 

Don'tcha wanna go (1999) 

We could all die any day (1999) 

I don't wanna die 

I'd rather dance
