Of yourself and hate how you look in it? You grab at the picture and try to rip it up. You hide it in the drawer and do not let anyone see it. Perhaps you've taken nude photos just to see how you look. They are taken for you and you alone. Have you ever taken a photo which made you feel sad because of who you were with at the time, or where you were..and to see them would hurt your heart all over again.
Dream if you will a picture..and ocean of violet and blue..
No wait
If Prince were to flood the market with his vault being opened, how could you possibly listen the the hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of music. You couldnt. The Artist has his reasons for not releasing the songs in the vault. They are his. The fact that you like/love his music doesnt entitle you to hear those songs he doesnt want released. It doesnt. A fllod destroys what lies beneath it. There is a reason why The Mona Lisa is so valuable. There is but one of it. There is a reason why The Artist's songs have so much meaning to you. Why they are so unique compared to other musicians and to the Artist himself. It's because they are undiluted by a flood of Prince songs. Think about it.
P.S. God went looking for Adam, after Adam tasted the forbidden fruit. He asked Adam "why are you hiding?" Adam said, "I am ashamed of my nakedness".
God knew exactly where Adam was, and why he was hiding. He wanted to make sure Adam understood. Point being, Prince doesnt want these songs released for a reason, known only to him. It doesnt entitle you to sample the forbidden fruit.

thank u sir, may i please have another?
