It's essentially the same pick up line, make into whatever you like. I don't why you keep using the word "conjecture"- there's not conjecture here. Sure we've disected lyrics and videos that might have some tie- negative & positive. But when we've brought up the possibility of Denise having been the love of his life we connect to things Prince ACTUALLY SAID- HIS OWN WORDS STRAIGHT OUT OF HIS MOUTH, in a recent concerts before his death- about Vanity/Denise. It's not about wanting to find anything, it's there. Peace, I'm outta here.

It is conjecture when you are analyzing the lyrics and trying to tie everything back to Denise. As for what Prince said, his own words straight out of his mouth, you dismiss what he said about Mayte as a "pick up line", but take what he said about Denise as gospel. You can't pick and chose what you accept from Prince's words. As for what he said in his recent concerts, he stated that he had lost someone dear to him. And he dedicated songs to her. The term "dear to us" does not imply a "love of a life time" to me. Unless there were other words spoken besides sharing certain memories. It sounded to me like he was merely reminiscing, remembering the good times, with fondness someone who had meant something to him in the past and that he was pained at her passing. Why try to make it into something more?

Benni,

Why do you find it offensive to allow me to believe for myself that the there was a connection btwn Denise and Prince? I can allow and respect what you are saying about the other women without bashing how you feel. Why do you feel the need to bash?

We have to agree to disagree because I do not believe it was coincidence

.

And you are free to believe that, I simply disagree. Did he love Denise? Yes. However, Prince was a man who knew what he wanted and he usually got what he wanted. If he had wanted to continue the relationship with Denise, he would have moved mountains to make it happen. The fact he didn't says more to me than anything else. But again, you all can go ahead with exploring this and you'll believe what you want to believe. The fact remains, no one will ever truly know the full truth and everything is conjecture in regards to this, because the only person that can truly say what his intent was and the meanings of what he sang about, is no longer here to share that with us. Again, we'll each see what we want to see in his music. For me, I see him singing more about God and Spiritual Love, than I do any physical love. In fact, in many of his interviews he stated that many of his songs were not about sex, or the physical, but was about the spiritual. But even he knew people took from his music what they wanted to focus on and artist intent was never big on their experience of the songs.

This thread is not gospel but opinions did you read the first page of the thread? It has has helped me get through my own mourning over Prince- who are you to try to take that from me? it is not coincidence for me the deaths of Denise and Prince for me and that is not belittling to his wives or lovers.

The "bad selves" was not meant in a bad way. As for a pick-up line, I don't think so. He didn't say that Vanity was his soul mate, rather she was a lot like him "female version of himself". I have a dear friend that I feel is the male version of myself, meaning that we have a lot of the same ideologies, same thought processes, but he's not a soul mate.

Anullment is definitely gentler than divorce. Ever been divorced? It creates a lot of negative energy and negative outcomes. And I am not arguing with who is his "soul mate" because there is no argument to be had. Prince said it himself and I'll trust his words over conjecture.

Take care and have fun with your explorations! You seem to be finding what you want to find. I guess that is all that's important, right?

Their annulment wasnt official.There was an article with them in the Marbella house right after said anullment, which he said was for spiritual reasons and that they were to remarry.. Then he left her Spain and started hooking up with Mani, his future'soulmate'. Prince and Mayte were DIVORCED in 2000. Obviously Mayte wasnt a true soulmate as he got rid of her quick enough and moved on, and had very little contact with her ever again. In contrast, Denise left HIM and he tried on and off to get her back for years...

.

Sources for the "he tried on and off to get her back for years" and his most recent attempts?

.

And yes, we always tend to want the one that doesn't want us, but that doesn't make them our soul mate. Again, don't pick and choose which of Prince's words you want to believe. He stated Mayte was his soul mate, and seeing them together, I would believe that. What I saw with Denise was a lot of heart ache and a lot of pain. I'm sure they were happy together for a time, but they seemed to bring out the worst in each other.

.

And what Prince said in concert was, "“Her and I used to love each other deeply. She loved me for the artist I was, I loved her for the artist she was trying to be." "used to love" is past tense and doesn't sound like a lifetime love affair. "She loved me for the artist I was, I loved her for the artist she was trying to be" sounds like they loved the creative sides of each other.

.

As for her "being the female version of him", that is one of the stories from around that time. The other was that Prince wanted to name her "Vagina" and she rejected that name, so he called "Vanity", because (also from the recent concert), "“She and I would fight. She was very headstrong cos she knew she was the finest woman in the world. She never missed an opportunity to tell you that,” which is in keeping with the idea of "Vanity" and may have been where the name actually came from. Please give me the source in which he said that she was the female version of himself. While I have heard that said, I've never seen the source of it.

I'm not taking anything from you, Vashtix, nor am I trying to take anything from you. Again, you are free to believe whatever you wish to believe. As for opinions, when I stated that all of this was "conjecture" (opinion) I was called out on that and told this was not conjecture, but was "Prince's own words". If it makes you feel better to think that Prince died because of Denise dying, and if you truly believe that, then nothing I say can ever take that away from you.

.

The only reason I had posted (because I had not been interested in posting on this thread) was when I saw people trying to link The Holy River to Denise, when the song was about Mayte. I felt that was trying to minimize Mayte's importance in his life, and obviously for him to have written The Holy River about her, she was an important piece of his life. And those saying that "he got rid of her two years after they married, doesn't say much about being a soul mate," keep in mind that they had lost a child and after a loss like that, divorce happens too frequently because the couples don't know how to grieve together or deal with that loss together. It has nothing to do with whether she was or was not a soul mate. So while you may not be minimizing other relationships he had, it seems that others on this thread definitely are.

I was listening to the Beautiful ones performance from the Melbourne show where Prince stated that Vanity knew about that song. I think it's amazing that she knew about the songs that he wrote about her and she did not once publicly claim that they were about her. I think that speaks volumes about her character and her love for him.

I completely agree. But having said that it's also part of the reason for all the confusion.

I didn't open this thread for ages because I didn't think he could be very depressed about a relationship from such a long time ago. He clearly loved Mayte and Mani when he got together with them. However, it seems (looking from the outside) that his feelings for his wives could not be sustained long term. His line "I never wanted a typical life, a scripted role, huh, a trophy wife" seems quite disrespectful of these marriages. I imagine Prince was a very complex and difficult man to live with. Can you imagine being brought up in a family that would turn a 12 year old out on the streets. That is some baggage. The other siblings seem to have more tha their fair share of problems too.

However, Denise seems to be the one that got away. He wasn't over her when she left him. Denise was more his equal than his wives. She knew her value and yet she was still vulnerable and needy. Did she inspire the change of direction at Dirty Mind? It is clear he did not get over the split easily. Imagine trying to get your ex back 4 years later when they are with someone else! He didn't move on despite all the other women.

I don't see the link to Denise in Holy River. It seems to be about Mayte but that is not a normal love song. The guy seemed very messed up (at the time ). It seems more that he is putting his faith in religion, love and marriage to escape his demons. I watched an interview with his cousin who said Prince used to drive through red lights whilst the passengers begged to be let out. He always seemed a tortured soul.

Black Muse seems to be about her though and Rocknroll loveaffair I would guess is about her too:

"She believed in fairy tales and princes
He believed the voices coming from his stereo
He believed in rock and roll

She left her past and those lilly white fences
And headed out to hollywood in search of her soul
But she had to pay the toll (yes she did)

They were bound to find each other
He needed proof, she needed a brother
That’s when stars collide
When there’s space for what you want
And your heart is open wide"

and

"She wanted to see her name appear on the big screen
He just wanted to hear her scream his name
Can you scream my name? Do you know what i mean?

This kind of love don’t come from a prayer
Ain’t talking rebound, born of despair"

I guess they both had too much pride and ambition (and too many demons) when they were young but loved each other intensely and never fully got over the loss of each other.

I'd like to apologize if I've offended anyone, particularly you Benny. I understand that my response was long, but I hope you now see where most of us are coming from without inflating Mayte into this more than necessary.

Prince has also made it clear he didn't have regrets because, "It's all a piece of the puzzle and who you are presently," that was his stance. He made it a point to just get better and better, and that he did. So if it meant not looking back on his marriage to Mayte or speaking to her, so be it. I do also believe he felt very accountable for "Vanity", well Denise, in many ways, spiritually, romantically, and personally. But in life, in true Prince fashion, he did a 360 at the end and opened up to us. Until someone does an intensive documentary on his life explaining her significance, many naysayers will go against us. Although fact is expensive, it's not a luxury. It tells us a lot about who he was and the man he became, and despite them never being "together" again, we do propose the idea that now they are in some fashion. The prayers Denise always believed he prayed for her, kept her, along with her faith from her church and friends. I believe she got her wish, he prayed for her, and she him.

I realize that post was not in reply to me. You are however bashing my opinion. As I said before we can agree to disagree because I believe Prince and Denise has a bond that time and marriages and different loves did not diminish. The connection Prince shared with Denise is not dismissing any other woman in his life it is speaking to his relationship with Denise. I never thought about Prince and Denise much but when she died and him publicly sharing information and dedicating songs and calling for her in death it hit me that time does not matter when hearts/souls/spirits are a true match.

That does not take away from any other women in his life.

I do not understand the need to try to diminish the public show of mourning he shared at Denise's passing. Denise died, he was sad, he shared that with the public.

Prince did die THAT close behind Denise.

I am not God I did not put that into the universe- as the first post said in this thread

Did he die of a broken heart?

I do think her death added to whatever he was going through at the time. Denise was part of his world before he was international mega star - that is special . . . so I do think there is a spiritual component to these 2 deaths.

Bashing my opinion is bashing me

My opinion is Prince and Denise had a spiritual connection

Since you want the discussion of Vanity vs. Mayte make up a thread with that title and people can discuss it and share ideas and opinions there. This thread is about how depressed was he about Vanity not a Vanity/Denise vs anything or anyone but if that is the discusion you want

A thread for that would be an option

I am still mourning Prince, it is still so raw for me and I did not know the man - I am not feeling anyone vs anything - anything negative - I accept he loved more than one in this life - many of us love more than one person in our lives on different levels. It does not belittle any of the loves - they just have different flavors - for whatever the time.

My sentiments exactly

This thread has become a farce. Why doesn't someone end it all?

I've got a question, why do you people come in here to write those sort of comments though? It's really not troubling you what we're analyzing, and instead, we're either getting attacked about Mayte (Dear Lord) or something else.

I don't think any of the songs on Emancipation were about Vanity. I think the songs on the album were inspired by Mayte. First and foremost because that's what Prince said at the time and you can tell when you listen to them that they were. I can understand why fans of Mayte would be offended at the suggestion that any songs on Emancipation were about anyone other than her. When I listen to his music I listen for the story that he is telling. I don't think the video for Empty room or A million Days has anything to do with Vanity either. The songs that he sings about Vanity have many references to her that make it plain that it is about her. On the Planet Earth album there are multiple references to her that make it obvious. Like Future Baby Mama when he talks about all his lovers like a like, could it be that I was looking for u. Well everyone knows that most people think all his woman look like Vanity. He is referencing that with those lyrics. In the Lion of Judah, he makes references to Adore (which during the Melbourne show he confirmed was about Vanity and the lyrics to Adore describe what is known about the first night they met where he called her at 3 am.) I think Vanity was really dismissed by some fans because they were not aware of what songs if any were about her. She never went to the press claiming any songs were for her and Prince did not make it public until very recently. He started becoming public about the song The Beautiful ones when he told Dr. Funkenberry that it was not about Susannah two years ago. Then he stated in the Dec. 2015 Ebony interview that it was about the scene in the movie and Vanity. Lastly in the Melbourne show he dedicated it to her and put her real name in the end of the song. Then during many of the shows he revealed to fans other songs that were inspired by Vanity. This is a new topic because Prince shared information that he had not shared before about Vanity. I try to be thoughtful with the things that I post because losing Prince is an emotional thing for all of us. I have picked up some things in his songs as have other people, and a forum like this is a great place to share thoughts and ideas with other like minded people.

I totally agree. It is hard for a mortal mind to even think that a love that happened over 30 yrs ago could still have a grip on you - it seems fantastical like a fiction - and neither Denise /Vanity or Prince spoke publicly and to me that speaks volumes. When she died I started reading articles from friends and family members and they stated she said he was the love of her life I was taken aback like WOW

So now in mourning I came to this board to discuss Prince with like minded people not to argue or debate him and his loves but "To share thoughts and ideas"

It has helped me get through alot of my missing Prince days

Please stop bringing up Mayte in this page for reasons of progression. The world does not revolve around her, nor does the research many people are doing to figure out his relationship with Denise.

.

The problem is, you cannot figure out his relationship with Denise, because the only two who can really give you the truth is not here to confirm or deny it. Everything related to their relationship is conjecture/opinion. And it's obvious that you know it, because you all cannot handle any dissenting views and feel that a dissenting view is somehow bashing someone else, when it is not.

No, I think the problem is you bringing Mayte into a discussion where she's not needed. That's like countering an argument with the same spiel on you not being able to handle that in their story, she's not quite as significant and you are thus also trying to counter what research/insight people have as prose as a way to belittle opinion.

I personally have never said all of his songs were about Denise or the subject of Vanity, that's a ludicrous assumption. Some have, with their reasons, and they could have been.

Thank you for your time, but this isn't what the thread is about.

I'm not taking anything from you, Vashtix, nor am I trying to take anything from you. Again, you are free to believe whatever you wish to believe. As for opinions, when I stated that all of this was "conjecture" (opinion) I was called out on that and told this was not conjecture, but was "Prince's own words". If it makes you feel better to think that Prince died because of Denise dying, and if you truly believe that, then nothing I say can ever take that away from you.

.

The only reason I had posted (because I had not been interested in posting on this thread) was when I saw people trying to link The Holy River to Denise, when the song was about Mayte. I felt that was trying to minimize Mayte's importance in his life, and obviously for him to have written The Holy River about her, she was an important piece of his life. And those saying that "he got rid of her two years after they married, doesn't say much about being a soul mate," keep in mind that they had lost a child and after a loss like that, divorce happens too frequently because the couples don't know how to grieve together or deal with that loss together. It has nothing to do with whether she was or was not a soul mate. So while you may not be minimizing other relationships he had, it seems that others on this thread definitely are.

This thread is not one that bashes Mayte, nor does it give her unnecessary attention for opinion purposes/biases as your own. Please check the title and the dynamic of the thread. This is not a fan-fiction thread nor is it based on preferential bias, but symbolism and deconstructing the artistry and personal life of Prince.

.

No, it was a thread about how depressed Prince was about Vanity's passing. You all turned it into some strange fiction that all of his music is now about Vanity. The symbolism in Prince's music and artistry went much deeper than being about a woman. Even Prince himself said fans often get it wrong, trying to make his music about this or that, when he was actually singing about God.

No, it was a thread about how depressed Prince was about Vanity's passing. You all turned it into some strange fiction that all of his music is now about Vanity. The symbolism in Prince's music and artistry went much deeper than being about a woman. Even Prince himself said fans often get it wrong, trying to make his music about this or that, when he was actually singing about God.

Considering I can safely assume you've not sat down and read numerous pages on this, I think this discussion can end here. We've all acknowledged that God and his spiritual tie to his deity and worshipping practice was the leading force in his life. I won't suggest you read back, I would just suggest you not argue or waste time to be quite frank because it's unnecessary fodder in a place where it's not needed. This has nothing to do with suggesting conjectures, it has to do with people's resilience to let others discuss what is rightfully intriguing to them about the passing of two people connected by many forces.

Also, if you would like to read fiction as your soul permits a desire to discuss Mayte: I'd suggest you go on her instagram page and read any comment you can find. That is fiction at it's best, as well as delusion. (Respectably)
Thank you for your time. X
