The White Birch - Purple Rain (Prince)
"This song is from the massive Norwegian Prince tribute album Shockadelica that the Little Guy had pulled from the market. It’s a shame he did, because it’s full of wonderful covers like this one. It’s a very sad song. It sounds like the singer is resigned to the loss of his lover but he’s not quite over her yet." From http://coverfreak.com/2009/05/17/the-rainy-season/
