“Purple rain” explores the loss of losing someone you once loved through different hues. No matter where you are or who you are with reminders of someone you once loved are everywhere. “Purple rain” gives off this feeling of no escape with heartaches and wanting to run far away. With constant thoughts of wanting to reach out and tell them just how you feel. Until finally you realize that this feeling of no escape is just a feeling. That soon time will pass on and ultimately the old you and your feelings will wash away with it just like the hues on a paint palette.
When creating this song tonka._.b used a voice software to transform her vocals into instruments to bring the song to life. “Purple rain” is a mix of EDM with a beat that reminds you of past times. When first listening to this song it reminded me of old school R&B mixed with pop which is my favorite kind of music. At the beginning of the song, she draws you in with her high pitch tune followed by her beautifully written lyrics. She sings with great power and soul, which makes you want to just get up and dance. Her lyrics like “My eyes go heavy, it closes the view / Gotta say goodbye to this old hue” which are extremely relatable not only to losing a love but to also losing yourself. “Purple rain” is such a provoking song that makes you think about past relationships and how you’ve grown and overcame hardships.
