Just heard this again for the first time in a long time...and although the song made me cry the last time I heard it, today I find it comforting and life-affirming. Here are the lyrics to "Don't Talk To Strangers":
Little darling ...I know the world is done
but you don't have to be... | |

Well, fuck it. That seals the deal. I deliberately didn't listen to Prince except sporadically for the past few months since he passed on to a better existence. But, today was the day I was supposed to come back... When I went to Walgreen's after having that distressing conversation I alluded to earlier, the first song that played on the loudspeakers was "When Doves Cry." I started singing in the store...and haven't stopped. Just now when I played "I Hate U" I heard the song and FELT it like I did I first heard it in the '90s...and that is wonderful... ...I know the world is done
but you don't have to be... | |

I even told the woman I spoke to about the song that made me come back to Princeland after years of being out of touch with the music world... I heard "Better With Time" on a local radio station...and I said to myself, "Wow, is that Prince?!! Is he still making new music after all this time?!!" Well, that was it... I "rediscovered" Prince. Not only my old favorites but a shitload of new music. I was hooked once again. I know how the "newbies" feel. Ironically, I only found out a couple of years ago that my sister was a big Prince fan back in the day...and went to the Musicology tour, which I wasn't even aware of at the time. Yeah, that's how out of the mix I was! ...I know the world is done

Yeah, that's how out of the mix I was! I do feelya. After Emancipation and M & P losing the baby, I went through a really difficult divorce and lost touch except for whatever I caught on TV or radio until recently so I'm discovering so many music, videos, pictures, stories, interviews. It's like when I was a fan when I was young. The thrilling excitement is still there. But I'm older now and appreciate it way more now. [Edited 7/16/16 9:38am] | |

From where/for what purpose was the photo taken? Oh my goodness, he is so gorgeous! It looks fairly recent, like within the last 10 years. Live 4 Love ~ Love is God, God is love, Girls and boys love God above | |

Does anyone else think he sounds like he wrote this for a child? It almost sounds like father-to-child advice. My understanding is that he wrote and recorded it in 1992, but he could have still written it from a fatherly perspective maybe thinking about children he might have in the future. Beautiful lyrics!

Thanks for keeping this thread alive. I guess it's like any bereavement, the odd moments of sudden teariness, memories, wanting to believe it's not happened. I can't believe that the passing of someone I never met can have such an impact on me. The soundtrack to my life, falling silent. I'm looking out for a purple dolphin. | |

Its been three months now....I'm still not over it. I too have quit talking to people in my immidiate circle. They all think I need to get a grip. Oh I have a grip alright! I have a grip on my love and admiration that I had/have for Prince. Just because they don't get it, doesn't mean squat. I summed it up on my twitter like this; 3mos still snowing...some days gently falling, some days a blizzard.
I still can't sing Purple Rain. I can get through most of Lets Go Crazy, and all of my fav, Lets Pretend We're Married! Lets celebrate him every single day! ETA: sorry 4 rambling! [Edited 7/22/16 21:20pm] | |

Prince I miss you. Thank you for the 30 years ride. You are gone but all the love is still here. I am so sad today I can't even imagine never seing him live again. We always went nuts about it, didn't we? Prince I will always miss and love U. | |

thank you back at you Boriqua1130! we all really loved Prince, didn't we! he was courageous, he was a musical genius, he was an intelligent, beautiful looking uni+masculine man and a freethinking creative master maestro. he was a harbinger of a new generation of musical fusion in sound, sight and sexual freedom(s). for me Prince Rogers Nelson is/was a true hero of my/our time.

imo 'baby i'm a star' would fit the bill better. because Prince proved that he fit the bill โTransracial is a term that has long since been defined as the adoption of a child that is of a different race than the adoptive parents,โ : https://thinkprogress.org...fb6e18544a | |

I'm sorry, I know. I looked at Prince pics for 14 hours Monday & that ended up as very bad for me. It's so difficult for a lot of us. I found the poster and posted to answer the question. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hey, hey, mama, said the way you move

Reading what everyone wrote here plus boriqua's beautiful words to put "peace be unto all who love you, Mr. Nelson"...made me cry a bit again. I still cry almost every day and as a "return" fam, it's because with each day I realize just a little more what a special person he was. He was sweet. I respect and admire this man for being so capable and such a caring friend to so many people who came into his life. There's so much more I could say...I just feel one of our very best has moved on and it's hard, especially with the way the world can be sometimes. Not very many selfless people anymore. But here on the org I do find the best. ~Paisley Park is in your heart~ | |
