What a more sad/happy song that Prince's "Nothing Compares to You"..
Prince - Nothing Compares 2 U (Official Music Video) (youtube.com)
Maybe cliche, but what a great tribute to love that once-was.. so-sad that it's past but so-happy that it happened at all (and was registered and recorded by the love-eed).
Every single time..., makes me slow-dance and/or slow-rock-out (usually as part of a larger rock out)..
Shizz -- plus it reminds me of my last mix: Not a Perfect Procedure: Hotwell Mix: The Last Word Is for Drinkin'. F'.. that was too long ago, but still fun, I think..

Hey -- if you have a song that you'd like me to make a mix based-off of, please let me know. What a great source of inspiration! Put the request in the comments (or email me, if ya nasty!).
ps. An interesting mash-up of my alt-rock (90s) and dance/Prince leanings: Chris Cornell - "Nothing Compares 2 U" (Prince Cover) [Live @ SiriusXM] | Lithium (youtube.com)
pps. If you are into mash-ups, you gotta check out: Bootie Mashup, still going strong (and such an important part of my life in late 2000's SF).
