Track 7: Prince, "Another Lonely Christmas"
Wherein we hear the tale of our narrator's lover, who had the audacity 2 leave him [1] on Christmas day.
This was a b-side to "I Would Die 4 U" from Purple Rain, and it sounds like it, all the way down to that fading synthesizer at the end. It's a gorgeous ballad that's as big & melodramatic as, say, "Darling Nikki" or "The Beautiful Ones" (to name an applicable few). It's so good.
"Banana daiquiri," though?
Every Christmas night 4 7 years now
I drink banana daiquiris 'til I'm blind
I don't know if I'd've imagined Prince a banana dacquiri man.
[1] Well... 2 die.
