Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today
To get through this thing called life
Electric word life
It means forever and that’s a mighty long time
But I’m here to tell you
There’s something else
The after world
A world of never ending happiness
You can always see the sun, day or night – prince, “let’s go crazy”
We’ve lost one of the greats today in the legendary Prince. There are too many incredible Prince songs to even think about selecting our favorites in tribute. As an alternative, here are some classic Prince covers and collaborations.

Go crazy, punch a higher floor
