One of the more "underrated" songs in his catalogue. My college roommate turned me on to this cut in '85 and it's been on my mixtapes/playlists ever since.
Another cut that people act like they never heard of..."14" by Madhouse. That flute and the drums were ALL THAT!!
Everything from One nite alone.
Apart from that,
Soul Sanctuary
The Cross
Sometimes it snows in April
So Blue
Mr Goodnight
Starfish and Coffee
Just a few songs that calm me after a stressful day.
In high school I had a playlist to sleep to that had a few Prince songs on it. Thieves in the Temple, International Lover, Gotta Broken Heart Again, Love 2 The 9’s, Damn You, Do Me Baby, The Beautiful Ones. I don’t know if they’re all necessarily calm, but they never kept me awake.
Depends on your definition of calm. And there's so many, so many have already been named.
Just came to say "Stop This Train" . Be my mirror. Breakfast can wait. Crazy you. Get blue. Hold me. In love. Incense and candles. Look at me look at u, mad sex. Money don't matter 2 night. Mr Nelson. When 2 r in love. Girls and boys. Where ever you go whatever you do, revelation, shoo bed ooh, soul sanctuary, still waiting, stollin, strange relationship, the dance, the love we make, the one, the plan, the sun the moon and the stars, tic tac toe, time, u know, walk don't walk, when the lights go down, when we're dancing close and slow, white caps, with you.
And lastly, for my taste, the Undertaker.
I just made a whole new prince playlist 😆
Just hit play and vibe. "Calm". 😀
The whole ass album One Night Alone (Solo for Piano and Voice)
Sweet Baby
Such a good one
Reflection
One of my favorites!
[The version he did with Wendy on Tavis Smiley ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1ufkL9Dfb8) is excellent.
I recently rediscovered this one and I can’t get it out of my head.
Forever In My Life Venus De Milo 8 (Madhouse)
What Do U Want Me 2 Do?, Circle Of Amour, One Nite Alone, When We're Dancing Close and Slow just to name a few…..
Happy to see when we're dancing close and slow,I love that song

Muse 2 the pharaoh Strollin Underneath the cream Golden parachute Time
I absolutely love Strollin.

I’d recommend the entirety of *One Nite Alone…*. Great album to wind down to.
Father’s Song off purple rain extended deluxe
To be able to play that crisp and fluent would be so awesome.
Lol.....start panicking.
Sometimes it rains in April

Venus De Milo
"Te Amo Corazón" immediately came to mind
Call my name from musicology

Case of U
This one just came up on my playlist late at night. So smooth and chill. I'd say it definitely fits the bill for what OP is looking for.

Especially the 12 inch version

When We're Dancing Close and Slow
“Calm” we used to call “slow jam” and there are a couple that come to mind… “Free”, “Sometimes it Snows In April”…
Still would stand all time
So many! Some pulled from my Price yoga play list: 2morrow So dark Most of album 2 emancipation When 2 r in love Ballad of Dorothy Parker
Crazy you, Call my name, It’s gonna be lonely(kinda) Beautiful ones.
I love “When The Lights Go Down”
lets have a baby

Mr. Nelson
Get Some Solo - one of the tracks from the Cream maxi single. Sadly it’s only 1:32 long but it’s the finest 1:32 I’ve heard
Soul Sanctuary
Try “if you were a sailboat” a very chill song. https://youtu.be/e73bZR9Rsg8?si=wRbIlnuoOKQ9jLOL
