Resonate

I think we can all agree that Prince's music is what has drawn us here, but within Prince's lyrics there is generally a lot of wisdom or a message, if you will. He has sang of loving God, loving each other, of accepting your life and not clinging to what is "wrong", of re-creating our world, of reflecting our society in art, or art reflecting our society, and so much more. What message within Prince's lyrics, has resonated with you the most? What will you take with you when the music no longer draws you in? What message touched your heart and caused you to seek something more? Outside of the music, what will you remember the most and hold close to your heart?

Prince's music has drawn a thread of love within me through the years.

As u mentioned LittleRedCorvette, Prince has written songs that are 4 the world in so many area's of focus. Love. Spirituality. Philosophy. and Sociology.

Overall...I believe that Prince has made equality, and the beautiful tapestry of all human beings to love one another...as the heart of the matter. And that is the ultimate word...We are all individual avenues of expression within the heart of GOD.

Woven together with love...Is what I have pulled out of Prince's soul...and Prince's music has been priceless pennies of thought.

This sort of sums up the idea that we are not who others tell us we are or who they want us to be. Prince remains us to stay true to our own hearts and to keep believing in ourselves no matter what others do or how they think of U.

yay! Walk Don't Walk flower

Walk on their side of the street
Don't walk where it feels the best
Walk away from people U meet
Don't talk 2 strangers unless
They walk the way U want them 2
Don't walk unless the others do

I said walk like U could use a ride
Don't walk with a confident stride
Then people will walk over U
But don't talk till they tell U 2
Don't talk if it's against the rules
Just walk away and be a fool
That's what they want cha 2 do
Yeah, that's what they want U 2 do

Sha, na, na, na, na {x4}

Don't talk if it's against the rules
Just walk away and be a fool
That's what they want U 2 do

So U gotta walk like U wanna make it
Don't walk like U just can't take it
G'on walk on whatever side U like
Don't walk wherever they tell U 2 - psyche!
The sun will shine upon U one day
If U're always walkin' your way

Oh, the sun will shine upon U one day sun woot! headbang
If U're always walkin' your way (Hey)

Sha, na, na, na, na {x4} (Checkin' me now just walkin')
Said I'm walkin' on your side of the street (Checkin' me now just walkin')
I'm talkin' 2 the people I meet (Checkin' me now just walkin')
Alright
Hey

I like HEAD alot.

It speaks of orgasms and giving head until you bleed.

I kinda think that is really deep.
