FUUUUC_!

It's Prince so I can imagine when he says leave me, you go but why on earth was the man alone in such questionable times?!

i don't expect anyone would be allowed to watch over him as he slept but at least a baby monitor or something. Was there no one else in all of Paisley Park the entire night?

Sorry if this post offends but I'm just now beginning to grieve and it feels like I'm going through all the stages at once.

I'm not even interested in the vault material - I just want him back!

Yes this is really tragic for all of us and so hard to want to believe. And we're all mad about this moment of neglect leading to this end--not intentional--but we've all wanted circumstances to be different.

Best thing to do is let the grief roll over you in a safe place. It could take some time because this is personal for a lot of us.

You can't help but fantasize if you could go back in time and help in some way to prevent it.

No offense taken, OvercastDaze, because the image of him alone in an elevator for hours is not the lasting image we want or need to have of him. Supposedly, it was not uncommon for him to be alone at Paisley Park, but given his recent health problems, it seems as if someone should have been present. Let's remove "the elevator" image from our collective memories, or at least place it below happier, funkier memories of him. Lately, I have been listening to "Play in the Sunshine" a lot and it has helped me to think about living life in the moment and making my day and life count for something. Prince has several songs that evoke a "carpe diem" sentiment, but these lines from "Play in the Sunshine" are among my favorite:

We want to play in the sunshine
We want to be free
Without the help of a margarita or ecstacy
We want to kick like we used to
Sign up on the dotted line
We gonna dance every dance
Like it's gonna be the last time

-----

We gonna play in the sunshine
We're gonna get over
I'm feelin' kind of lucky to night
I'm gonna find my four leaf clover
Before my life is done
Some way, some how, I'm gonna have fun

-----

We gonna love all our enemies
Till the gorilla falls off the wall
We're gonna rock him
We're gonna roll him
We're gonna teach him that love will make him tall (so tall)

-------------------------

These lyrics, combined with the song's happy, uptempo beat, have been helpful. Maybe they can serve the same purpose for you and others.

Best,

Grog

I feel your pain and frustration...these same thoughts haunt me...I've been to PP four times since his passing trying to find solace or make peace with what's happened. There's no comfort right now in his music etc. I'm just giving it time I guess but it sucks in the meantime.
It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN

Okay--good idea and best to you. BTW I checked out a few of your tracks on Youtube and I like 'em.
