Episode 18 - Prince - When Doves Cry
Update: 2025-11-07
Description
This week on Songs on the Couch, we dive into the purple depths of Prince’s “When Doves Cry” - the groundbreaking hit with no bass line, emotional chaos, and a whole lot of genius.
We’ll unravel how a song that sounds like heartbreak mixed with electricity became one of the most influential tracks of the ‘80s. From the psychological storm of love and identity to the sheer perfection of Prince’s control-freak brilliance, this episode explores how one man turned emotional breakdown into art you can dance to.
We’ll talk family trauma, artistic obsession, and what it really means when doves… actually cry (spoiler: birds don’t have tear ducts). It’s funky, it’s deep, and it’s just a little bit unhinged - like Prince himself
