Strange but True This is a great song! I have been listening to it alot latley. This seems like a big to Mayte but I'll forgive him for that and just simply say this song is really cool!!! I think those that would find stuff on the 1999 album good would find this song pretty appealing. [Edited 12/15/05 6:18am] | |

[Edited 12/15/05 6:18am] It isn't an to Mayte. It's a song to a fanatic to whom he had imagined posabilities might be if the fanatic's delusions were true. "yeah I got your package" News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so. You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop. | |

I guess that is a possibility. It sounds like a big dis to Mayte or a lover. Anyway this song is addictive! | |

My interpretation of "Until You're in My Arms Again" is that he is dealing with the loss of his child. Not to say I'm right, but maybe this is his way of keeping peeps on their toes. Only HE knows what a song is written for, and if HE chooses to share in that intimacy, then consider ourselves blessed. To speculate anything other than HIS given word, should be taken just as that.....A BASELESS OPINION!!! Otherwise, just sit back and enjoy what he has chosen to share...who cares what the subject matter is, as long as its FUNKY and doesnt hurt nobody. PEACE!! "If you wanna feel the FUNK....then you have to know the SOUL!!!"-----(Up and Down...just like a seesaw, Back and Forth...oh girl I'm fallin) | |

[Edited 12/15/05 6:18am] It isn't an to Mayte. It's a song to a fanatic to whom he had imagined posabilities might be if the fanatic's delusions were true. "yeah I got your package" I don't get that AT ALL. It seems to me to be addressed to a former lover (and, considering this was the time period that he and Mayte were splitting up, it seems perfectly logical to assume that she is the subject of the song). Here's my breakdown: Okay, let me say this quick - before I start 2 cry
U're the only one that I gave it 2, the one I fantasized 4 And time away from U has taught me What I should have known This hole I'm trying 2 fill with another - yeah, it's grown Sounds like he's addressing someone he recently seperated from (again, Mayte is the logical subject, as they seperated shortly before the album's release). He has tried to date, but he isn't over his lover. It also sounds like he was accused by his lover of cheating, and is clarifying that he did not. And I got your package
But when I tried 2 write U back I bailed See, tryin' 2 express the future, sometimes language fails She sent him some sort of personal letter or what-not that expressed her feelings. He tried to write back, but couldn't find the words (possibly why he is writing the song) And over this time I've learned
My life force is increased by knowing U Every door that closes, another one opens Strange but true He has become stronger spiritually since meeting her, and is realizing that even if this relationship ends, new opportunities and experiences will be coming his way But no regrets because I forget the unfamiliar faces
Those petty lies and alibis, just golddiggers chasin' Dreams of sovereignty, they tried 2 come between U and me Obviously, someone (or several someones) have tried to break the couple up, and their machinations seem to have worked. Still, he has no regrets, and puts all of this nonsense in the past. A curse therein set forth a chain of events
That only freed me when I remembered Where I was and who I am: The only Prince that will ever rule this holy land Despite the intervention of this person or persons, the events that followed have led him to some important personal revelations. He is starting to realize the power he has over himself and his environment. He is also seeming to hint here that he will soon restore his name to Prince. All understand and all stand under this affirmation now:
By the power invested in me by God All negativity bows Strange but true, let's see what U can do Obviously, he is claiming his God-given right to deny negativity, and refuses to let this experience effect him in a bad way. U may have lost me, uh, but I found myself
Despite the breakup, he has discovered some very vital insights into his pyche, and view this as a positive. The ones who love me without condition - this is my wealth
This experience has taught him to value those who show him unconditional love, and that he should value this over any monetary riches he may have. And with these words I will win
Repeat them over and over again: All understand and all stand under this affirmation now By the power invested in me by God All negativity bows Strange but true, let's see what U can do All negativity bows Strange but true All negativity bows A final affirmation of his God-given free will, and his refusal to let the negative rule his life. Do not hurry yourself in your spirit to become offended, for the taking of offense is what rests in the bosom of the stupid ones. (Ecclesiastes 7:9) | |

Really cool breakdown Jedimaster! Yes I always got the feeling Man O war, Strange but true, silly game, I love u but I don't trust you any more, and Wherever u go, whatever u do were addressed to Mayte. Seems logical since that was around the time their relationship ended. I love Mayte!!!!! | |
