Any Prince lyrics ever inspired anything creative from you?

My answer to this will be pretty lame compared to most I bet, but I've been inspired by some of the lyrics to write some blogs on my Bebo site recently.

Anyone wrote a song, poem etc. due to a line or song of Prince?
So look into the mirror, do u recognise some1? Is it who u always hoped u would become, when u were young?

Yes. He inspires many beautiful thoughts. How rich we are without a dime, only imagination. Which by the way, is all we really have. When art is expressed, it is given away.

As I recently posted in another thread,
during a date when I was in college,
I was inspired ONCE by the lyrics " 4 U naked I would dance a ballet. Would that get U off?"

The fact that, to this day,
if you listen very closely,
you can still her laughing hysterically somewhere out in the distance,
will explain why I so boldly emphasized the word "once".

How about this..?





BEEN A LONG TIME NOW
ARE U STILL THE 1
WAITED 4 THAT NUMBER (3121)
U REMEMBER WHAT I SAID 2U
IN THE RUINS OF ROME
MY SOUL IS PART OF U
BUT U NEED 2 ROAM
31 MY BIRTHDATE AND 21 IS U
U NEED 2 STUDY UR OWN LIFE AND WHAT ITS DONE 4U
THE TIME HAS COME 2 SING THIS SONG (NOTHING COMPARES 2U )


THEN I AM REBORN AGAIN
THEN WE WILL SEE THE TRUTH
DO I STILL LOVE U ..HUMMMMM YES I DO


STRANGE AS IT SEEMS THE MESSAGE WAS TRUE
U ARE THE KING AND I AM THE QUEEN
2GETHER WE WILL RISE OUT OF THE SEA
IF I CAN FEEL U .CAN U FEEL ME ..


HERE THE CROWD ROAR AND DANCE AT UR FEET
LISTINING 2 WORDS U SO SOFTLY SING & SPEAK
THE LAST SONG IS PLAYED FROM UR 21 NIGHTS
NO LOOK OF SORROW ON UR FACE 2NIGHT


JEHOVAH LOVE IS STILL WITH U
THIS MUCH THEY KNOW IS TRUE

NOW REST UR HEAD UR BODY IS WEAK
U GAVE UR ALL 2 THE FANS
THESE PAST FEW WEEKS

ITS TIME 2 REST UR SOUL IN MINE
U LEARNT UR LESSON AND IVE LEARNT MINE
THE GRASS ISNT GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE

BUT THERES STILL MORE I THINK U WILL FIND
THEY MAY LOOK LIKE ME BUT THERE SOULS AINT MINE
ITS TIME 2 LEAVE THEM ALL BEHIND
U SEEN THE LIGHT THAT MUCH IS TRUE
NOW U KNOW I ADORE U 2


U SEEN MY FACE MANY TIMES B4
U KNEW I WAS OUT THERE WAITING 4 THAT CALL
THE BIRD SINGS.(THE QUESTION OF U)

THE TIME HAS COME 4 ME & U
2 WASH AWAY THE COLOUR BLUE


CRYSTALS & RUBIES ARE NOTHING 2 ME
UR LOVE FROM WITHIN IS ALL THAT I NEED
SPIRTUAL LOVE IS MY KIND OF THING
material things mean jack 2 ME
I THINK U KNOW.. WHAT I MEAN..
I KNOW U HEARD IT ALL B4
WOMEN CLAIMING THAT THEY ARE YOURS

BUT ONLY U CAN SEE THE TRUTH
DO U KNOW WHAT AM SAYING 2U
LIKE B4 IN ANCIENT TIMES
WE HELD EACH OTHER 4A LONG TIME
ITS TIME 2 GO I SAID 2U
GO AND SING UR FUNKY BLUES
JUST REMEMBER WHO WE ARE
WHEN U PLAY THAT SPECIAL GUITAR
ME AND U PLAYING AS ONE
NOW U KNOW I AM THE ONE
BORN FROM A MAN WHO HAD 1 SONG

THE SONG OF LOVE IS WHAT HE SPEAKS
PLANET EARTH IS AT THERE FEET
TIME 2 MAKE A CHANGE U SEE
SHOW THEM WHAT IT MEANS 2 THEE
IF THEY DONT GET it
THEN SO LET IT B
AM SURE THEY GET IT BY NEXT WEEK
LET THEM MOCK ME ABOUT THESE WORDS
BUT LITTLE THEY KNOW THEY DANCED 2 THESE WORDS
CALL ME CRAZY CALL ME A FOOL
BUT THEY LOVE U2 THATS THE NEWS FROM (O2)
WERE U SANG THE FUNKY BLUES
31 days 21 nights back in ur arms ITS NOT 2 LATE
U & ME PLUS 2 NOT 1..? NOW OUR LIVES HAVE JUST BEGUN
THEY CAN SAY WHAT THEY WANT ON A PAGE OR 2
I REALLY DONT CARE OH WELL BOO HOO



MY LOVE IS TRUE
SO DONT U BE SCARED
THERE THINGS IN THIS WORLD
THAT CANT B EXPLAINED
BUT ARE PAST IS ARE FUTURE
U KNOW WHAT I MEAN
THATS WHY UR THE KING AND I AM THE QUEEN
THE GREATEST ROMANCE ON THIS LAND
IS ME AND U HOLDING HANDS
THE WORDS I HAVE WRITTEN ARE JUST 4 U
LIKE IF I WAS UR GIRLFRIEND I WOULD SAY 2U
ROSE OF SHARRON.IS HEAR 4U

Another "yes".

Dolphin got me writing about rebirth and reincarnation...

Anna Stesia helped me so much claiming my... being alive and not so alone, deserving my own freedom.

Prince lyrics inspires me sometimes in writing, painting (which I can't explain as it's abstract, but his energy helps) and of course playing music...
