Chasing

"Way Back Home"

I am torn with sadness. I have listened to many of his songs since his passing and funnily enough found myself going way back to the start again, amazing amazing music. I have come to Way Back Home - and I do think this may have been his most significant and personal recording released to us, and it is certainly telling his audience something very very important. I think he was unwell, that he knew he was in his way .... To my beloved Prince, thank you and you deserve your peace. I love you.

I believe this too. And this is the reason I haven't been able to bring myself to listen to it again. Too painful. If after it's all said and done, that it turns out Prince knew he wasn't going to be here much longer, then Way Back Home may be about that.

I believe you're right on, Chasing. The lyrics read like someone reflecting on their life as they near its end. In fact, I left a message on the official Youtube release of it back in 2014 saying that I truly hope that Prince's only desire WASN'T to be left alone because he was going to die one day and that it would be terrible to be all alone at that time. (see link below)

What sad news to find out that he was utterly alone on an elevator when he died. So sad.

That is what gets me the most. That he was all alone. cry
