Nothing Compares 2 U



I never quite figure out what she is sad about.  Is it a bad breakup?  Is it her mom's passing?  Or both?  I just want a clearer mental picture from the lyrics.  A live cover of this song is equally awesome but crazier.

    She's jilted or her lover is dead or fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan so that's why she's sad.

    And the worst thing is that she still think he's the best [boyfriend.]

    Alright, mother is more likely.

    One lyrics website - stlyrics.com - even says: ** She wrote this song after her son's death **

    But we know the song was written by Prince in the 1980s.
