The song 7 I have always liked the song 7! But I have no idea what the song is about! It sounds like it may have religios ovetones and also about love. I know he is a Jehova's Witness, is there any of there beliefs in there?

A lot of allusions to verses in the book of Revelation, and Prince wasn't a JW at the time -- not 'til after '96. | |

During this time, Prince was very into Free Love and Denounced all religions (Ironic eh lol_
When he means All 7 he means the 7 major Religions of the world will fall... Mirroring what Lennon said about their will never truly be peace in the world until all religions fall... Prince merely states that all those who call him a blasphemer will fall and him and his free love Cohorts will live forever in love, Now P's a JW Positive he doesn't believe that anymore... | |

Positive he doesn't believe that anymore... not to get all contrary on ya and whatnot, but...if he doesn't believe it anymore, then why did he perform the song on just about every night of the musicology tour last year?  | |

Just Wondering! Jasmine333 You need to get a copy of 3 chains of gold video. It has all the videos prince made for the 0-+-> album. It tells the story that links all the songs together. The song "7" refers to the 7 men that came and killed mayte's father. they were looking for the 3 chains of gold. and prince is promising he will make the 7 people pay and save mayte. | |

I don't have the exact issue in front of me, but whoever wrote it really compared it to the quotes from the book of Revelation (not Revelations). I'll see if I can track it down, but I'm sure there is someone out there who has it. It really is some great info. The expanded version of my book PRINCE and The Purple Rain Era Studio Sessions 1983-1984 was released in November 2018.

I know the article you mean, it does give a very good run down of quotes which relate in context to certain parts of Revelations. I guess no one could say Prince is inconsistent, he's always been a religious nut!  Don't worry, I can't get pregnant - my ovaries are diseased...... | |
