A FREAKY THING JUST HAPPENED TO ME - UPDATED!

Let me just preface this by saying I may not believe it if it didn't happen to me - it's fucking WEIRD, but I don't think there's anything to it other than being, in itself, FREAKY!

For those of you who will ask (LOL) it was today at 12:43pm. I'm working out, playing a workout mix under the Genre category of my iPod. There is no Prince music on this mix, on any of the mixes in this genre on my iPod (but there's a ton of Prince on the iPod itself, of course).

Every now & again, when I don't even realize I've touched the face of the iPod, it'll just switch to another song that's completely separate from whatever I'm listening to at the time. BUT my hands were nowhere near the iPod. The song that was playing was "Lolli Lolli" by Three Six Mafia (please don't judge me falloff ). All the sudden, it switches to a Prince song for about 3 seconds or so - I don't even remember which song it's from, the choices are infinite but I'm expecting someone here to easily identify the lyric (I recently got around to loading some of my boots into iTunes). The lyric was, "Listen... I don't feel no pain." eek eek eek eek eek & then it switched right back to Lolli Lolli.

I am not shitting you. I swear to God & on everything I love, this shit happened. It completely freaked me out for a good 2 minutes, my heart was fucking racing. But I calmed down & remembered all the times random iPod shit has happened - hoping the next song wouldn't be "Way Back Home", & that's exactly what came on... but that's understandable, I'd played it a million times before all this, so the iPod was simply cycling to something I clearly loved & played repeatedly. BUT THIS SHIT??? It's admittedly WEIRD, not chalking it up to anything otherworldly AT ALL - I believe in spirits & unexplained shit, but not knowing the man personally means "he" has zero reason to "communicate" with me, so I'm not trying to take it there AT ALL. I'm sharing this because it's goddamn strange & I can't really share this shit with anyone else.

Freaky, right??!!! hmm & just a sidenote - last night (after watching the making of the "A Million Days" video) I attempted to watch the PP tour Ingrid did years ago, but as soon as they stepped in the elevator I felt sick, skipped through it to see if P was anywhere on it, then abandoned it. It was just too much. sad

Which song is that from, you guys? It was so quick, sounded bootleg quality but not live. Thanks for any info on the lyric!

**last side note: I may have made sense of this a little. I recently created "PRINCE" as a genre, so "FITNESS" & "PRINCE" are the only 2 genres I've created in iTunes. I'm guessing some wires got crossed there. Still, the lyric snippet is trippy as shit exclaim

***oh holy fuck, now we're back to weird - just as I thought I'd made sense of it (in the last sidenote above), I listened to the song on my iPod Classic (with my entire catalogue on it). I laughed my head off - I remember the song & liked it when I first got that boot, haven't listened to it in years. BUT the blip happened on my iPod Mini, too small for the whole catalogue. I wondered if I'd somehow crammed the new "Prince" genre onto that iPod so I went looking. "DO YOURSELF A FAVOR" IS NOT ON MY iPOD MINI!!!!! WTF, people??!! omfg The "Dreams" boot isn't on the iPod either, because I simply loaded it into iTunes, but didn't pull anything from it for playlists, let alone a song I'd forgotten about. This. Shit. Is. Officially. FREAKY exclaim My heart is racing again eek

***UPDATE: this is a glitch, a weird glitch, but a GLITCH. I heard it again today - it's not on the original mix CD, but it happened in the same spot of the same song. Happened on import, & now it's just in iTunes like that (I've now heard it on 2 iPods, & on the computer, didn't think to do all that initially). Still strange, but less so now that there's physical evidence of its existence. I'm less baffled now, but it's still trippy. lol I'm gonna keep this odd import, delete all the other songs on this mix, change the color of the image to purple & reclassify it as Unknown Genre falloff Just reimported the cd so I can use it without being thrown for a loop!***

Looks like that line is from Do Yourself a Favor:

http://www.songlyrics.com...or-lyrics/

"Listen -- Say, I don't feel no pain. It doesn't hurt inside"

Which also has the line:

"Now I'm alone, feelin' free
Freer than the butterfly flyin' high now"

That isn't freaky.

If right after that, it had gone to the little snippet of The Twilight Zone that he did during Adore from ONA - THAT would've been freaky. razz

falloff falloff I can't even deal.

I am not one to judge, y'all would fall out if you saw half the stuff on my ipod. And yes, I have Lolli too Lol! P would probably disown me as a fan if he saw everything else I listened to lol

But on a serious note, I don't belive in coincidences. That clearly happened for a reason, at least that's how I see it and that's a really cool experience. I've been waiting for some kind of sign, that's alright Mr. Nelson, I'll wait bored2

Lol no, I've have had a couple little things happen though so I guess I can't be too greedy smile

From now on, 4 U I shall be wild πŸ’œ

Thank you for having my back on Lolli!! falloff that shit bumps during a workout, but I'd NEVER listen to it just to listen :lol:

As for this "happening", I guess if I were to lean into it, I'd take it as a push to get back to simply ENJOYING his music, something I've been struggling with. He's so playful in that song, & the whole message of it is "don't trip on me, I'm fine now, keep it moving" smile I dunno, the fact that the song is nowhere to be found on that iPod is freaking me the fuck out though...

& lucky you with your experiences! biggrin I never got to meet or interact with him at all (unless that old Org convo was him for real, lol). I was like, umm, how many shows I gotta go to to be pulled up on stage, bruh??! razz but I was only lucky enough to be near the front once or twice, so he is forgiven bananadance

I'm not gonna lie, I'd never heard it before until now (listening as I type and loving it music )

I would die if I was ever that close to him. Sadly I never got the chance, only saw him twice sad The second time though, our seats were randomly selected to be upgraded so we were considerably closer to the stage than before, so that was awesome. But uh, org convo? eek I hope it was him! lol

Obsessed

This is freaking awesome! I totally believe in spirits because I've experienced way to many unexplainable things. My husband who was a skeptic is convinced my mothers spirit is living with us. I've had 1 questionable more like giant coincidence & 1 experience that was definitely spirit (probably my mom because why would Prince visit me he didn't even know I exist unless my mom met him in the after world & they are now friends lol)related. The 1st one (the coincidence) was about a month ago every time I got in the car that day as soon as I started the car a Prince song would come on whatever radio station I was listening to on my way to drop my girls off at summer camp, on my way to work, when I went to go get lunch, on my way back from lunch, & on my way home. I have yet to have that happen to me again. My second experience (probably my mom) was Saturday. I literally spend all day watching Prince interviews & concerts. It was about 9:00pm maybe a little later my husband & oldest daughter were asleep & me & my youngest were in the living room watching the Montreaux Jazz concert when the dining room lights start flickering on & off freaking my youngest out a little so I tell her to turn it off as soon as she turned it off her bedroom light started doing the same thing. I thought she was going to have a panic attack (we have weird crap happen often but it's never bothered her & I know she has talked to my mom because she has told me stuff that I know nobody has ever told her before) so I went & turned her light off to calm her down & after that nothing no other lights flickered or anything & she fell asleep while we finished watching the concert.

I believe communication is possible from the afterworld. Consider yourself blessed, if he used you to let us know he is free as a butterfly and without pain.

Look at it this way, it's not as if it was a line from Batdance, that would be a freaky coincidence. biggrin

This is truly meaningful.

Not weird at all only freaky if you make it to be. The universe is just doing her thang. Vibrations, energy everywhere and nowhere at the same time. He ain't feeling no pain over there where it's pure. Ain't no filter over there. Pure reality.

CalhounSq, when my grandma died, my sister came to my house on that same night and sat down next to me. She put down her iPod and we just sat there talking for about an hour. At some point she said she wouldn't go to the funeral cause she had never been particularly close to her. As soon as she said it, her iPod switched on and played a song which I now cannot remember either, except for the one line we heard: "Remember the good times". Then it switched back off. She froze. Then she looked at me and said she would definitely go to the funeral. And she did.
Will never forget that incident. There are no coincidences.

Wow, that's super hella trippy!! So glad it happened & your sis went smile even though I can't tell this to anyone but my fellow Orgers, I was kinda bracing myself for folks telling me I'm nuts. The whole thing is odd, but the feedback is comforting. Thx for sharing that cool

I just want to say whether you are a person of faith or not, take comfort in it.

Sometimes inexplicable things happen. I err on the side of trying to find a logical reason for things like this. But sometimes something happens which I can't explain and I look at it as something beyond my perception that maybe one day will make sense. But for now, dont be disturbed by it and try to find solace in it.
