Poignant thoughts from Prince

[@jondunmore4268]

The greatest musician the world has ever seen right here.

[@RoslinMohdDaudG]

This beautiful person stayed true to himself til the end. Inspiration ❤

[@AC-mp7cx]

well idk what that means

[@stickyfox]

@@AC-mp7cx His death was oddly poetic on a very superficial level. One of my favorite songs about loss from a very underrated album of his is titled "Sometimes it Snows in April." He also died in an elevator so I think we can all trust that he "punched a higher floor." But I think Ros means he never sold out. He made the music industry do what it took to do business with him instead of changing his musical vision to what they wanted it to be.

[@barryallenflash1]

Yes...yes...he did.

[@johnburns2940]

@@stickyfox Thanks for your thoughts on Prince. I commune with him, a little bit, through your words. (the world was a little brighter with this man around)

[@barryallenflash1]

Such a humble man. Genius, kind, generous, loving....ah the list goes on! He is TRULY missed and was one of a kind. We need more guys like this man, less of the "look at me" genre that we have today!

I had the good fortune of seeing prince in concert three times, and I have to tell you… There is no other entertainer like him… Never lip-synching, rarely took a break, and sounded phenomenal. He did get a bit arrogant as he was known to cancel shows at the last minute, but was he in original superstar? He sure was, and his legacy will live forever more.

[@SRPA476]

Only once- Murryfield in Edinburgh. He looked straight at me! Never felt so seen. ❤🙏

[@mayorofthenonsense]

To get to the level he was at, being in the spotlight, pushing the envelope, breaking boundaries etc, you need to have an ego. You can't do that stuff at the highest level without supreme self confidence and a little bit of arrogance - especially as you're going to encounter people who'll try to control you and drag you down.

[@freeanimals594]

Envious you saw him in concert! 💜💜💜

[@denises3779]

He played music from the colours of his soul💜💜💜

[@barryallenflash1]

...like NO ONE else could. THAT'S what made him so special.

[@annbell8748]

Beautiful man, beautiful soul. Old school Minnesota work ethic. Down to earth and surprisingly humble. ❤

Omg he was sooooo beautiful. May he be in eternal peace. So handsome. One of the most talented men on the planet ❤

[@cheryldevine42]

I listened to Prince in the 80's and it was the best times of my life. When he passed away I cried. He had heart and soul and he was so very humble and unique. 💜🕊🌠

[@Takkforkniven]

Tell us more about yourself.

Amen. I am right there with you. Great time to be alive and young in the 80s!

[@donnamccord4911]

He is such a Beautiful Person. So Sweet and Absolutely Handsome.

[@silke9479]

He was all!

[@johnatyoutube]

Prince is a beautiful soul having a profound human experience that he shared with us all through his incredible music. Like all of us, I'm sure he was complex and had ego and fear and darkness that he struggled with. But it's clear here that he understands that and sought to be more than an ego driven music star. He shares so beautifully what's truly important, and that's love in its simplicity and gratitude to others in his life and God for his life. In the end, we all just want to be loved and appreciated and free to express ourselves. He was a beautiful teacher of that journey, and he left the heart of that journey with us in his music. The world was much better having had Prince in it, and I'm glad that I was young in the 80s and got to experience his musical journey and dance my butt off to his incredible songs. Thank you, Prince. We love you. 💞

ill see you in Heaven one day, Mr. Nelson. I love you with all of my heart.

[@dianneking3842]

Prince did not believe he was going to heaven. His hope was for a paradisal earth that Jehovah, his God, promised him. So we all await seeing him in that new world where all things are perfect and there is a new heaven and new earth that was promised by the God he and we serve, a perfect God Jehovah, and His Son, Jesus Christ.

[@EightiesMusiqLover]

I was on the tube(watching television) just the other day and I saw a commercial about this years Grammy Awards to be televised soon. Then I thought to myself…”really, what kind of Grammy awards show will this be? There’s no more great or REAL talent out there in the music business anymore, just a bunch of cookie cutter rehash”. As far as I’m concerned, when Michael, Whitney and Prince passed, so did REAL raw musical creation and singing talent. The American Music Awards and The Grammys died along with them, because there aren’t hardly anymore true innovative musical artist out there. Stevie Wonder perhaps. Madonna has lost her mind along with her self identity. I will probably never be inspired nor will I ever be excited about watching an upcoming Grammy awards show again. Thank you Prince, Michael and Whitney for making those televised live events historical and worth while to be exciting to watch.

[@khismet]

Since he left .. my life has changed dramatically. Daily heartbreak takes a toll on your spirit. I miss him💔

[@Hbizz813]

2016 was one f’d up year. From literally Day 1 of that year, I feel like we veered into some Star Trek or Back to the Future shizznit & landed in the worst possible timeline.

His voice is angellike, when i listen to him I feel at home and I feel loved, because he demonstrates how a human being is capable of loving and respecting themselves. In this clip he also demonstrates what an amazing poet he is, but I guess we already knew this. His timing is perfect, he makes everyone sit completely still and his eyes are drawing you in.

I remember how rare it was to hear him speak in those days, His voice was ubiquitous in the media culture, but he never spoke to the people. It's telling that on this oh-so-rare interview, he felt he had to address his belief in God. I feel he helped me to better understand my own faith, and to seek to excel in His name, rather than be content under His wing.

[@zephyrr914]

The way he played almost every instrument as well as his voice. How I love and how I miss him.

Well, he had a ton of influences. He just synthesized them & had plenty of originality to make it something new.

@@adventuresinmoodcity mj influenced him

[@adventuresinmoodcity]

@@AC-mp7cx When Mike was young, for sure. Me too. But as they both matured , not so much. M.j & Quincy's thing was the opposite of what Prince was doing.. Their thing was super slick & polished, Prince's was rugged & raw.

[@TJLaFave]

@@adventuresinmoodcity Your view of originality while being inspired by others is itself exceptionally underrated.

[@freeanimals594]

​@@adventuresinmoodcity But MJ never had a normal childhood. His father forced all of them to practice every day! He had so much money, he did everything he wanted, whether we all disagree or not. That's why he created Neverland. My fav song by the J5 is Maybe Tomorrow from their greatest hits. Give it a listen.

I relate so much to what he says. What strikes me is that at this time in history, in his position, this was revolutionary thinking.
