Once was this ball with a line straight down the middle.
One side was black, and the other one white, and they both understood so little.
And they spent their whole lives tryin' to tell eachother what time it waz.
When all along it did not matter what people said, Becuz, Becuz...

You only know what u know...I love this song, the video, and Mayte's little laugh...

There is a very deep philosophy within this song...let's break it down...what do you think it means to come from the same December, and in the end that's where we'll go?

To me, It's good and evil and opposite ends, Black and white, dark and light, slowly but surely coming together.

I love my Chaos and Disorder CD for sure, and the song Same December.
But my favorite comes towards the end with. "I Will"

I will walk this road, I will, I will
It's gonna be hard I know, but I will, I will
People come and they'll go, but I still, I still
Face up to the truth and just grow, I will, I will
I will fight this fight, I will, I will
I will sleep 2night, I will, I will
Ive been down before, but I still, I still
Remember what I came 4, I will, I will

I will get 2 U, I will, I will
And then I'll help U get thru, I will, I will
U've preyed on many a fool, until, until
No one cared about U, but I will, I will




and now Prince will sue me for my first born for having had typed that.

yin and yang?

this song is deeply meaningful to me; reminds me of the time when my house burned down, and world was turned upside down. it seemed that i was the one who had understood so little... "ya only know what you know," and i was able to recognize this and forgive it in others as well.

it's honestly one of my favorite prince songs, if not my favorite.

Heiress, I am sorry that happened 2 u...and we can see that some depth can be found...forgiveness is a beautiful freedom. Yes, the Yin and Yang of life...The ultimate swirl of confusion...leads to the beauty of acceptance. The world comes out of these opposing forces...and teaches us to appreciate the travel through the range of understanding....and Once the Black and White range is loved...The rainbow becomes the clarified effect of that cause.

Thank you... the experience was terrifying, but very valuable. Taught me so much.

Yes, we need all the colors!
