Thanks for being interested jacobite.
I've listened 2 Prince music so often through the years that I can say that Prince's music escorted me many days, especially in the car. I would love to drive through the Emerald Necklace Park System in Ohio, and I always had Prince tapes with me.
~I wanna be your lover, is a song that reminds me of being young and still in school. I spent a lot of nights talking to nightshift DJ's on the phone that I'd be falling asleep in school the next day.
~DMSR reminds me of a group of friends and I dancing on Sunday afternoons at a night club called "The Mining Company."
~Just as long as were together, is a song I remember my girlfriend and I having a lot of fun singing along with.
I would play, "Free," and "America," on the fourth of July as a ritual. I did that nearly a decade.
I brought the movie, "Purple Rain," to the hospital, and watched it when I was in labor with my 3rd son...I have 4 boys. He happens to be the biggest fan of my kids...I took him with me to the "Musicology," concert.
The Musicology cd reminds me of driving in Gatlinburg, TN...and seeing a cute chapel off the side of the road.
I had "Grafitti Bridge," with me in Maui when my x husband and I were marrying.
What a dumb idea that was...Not listening to "Grafitti Bridge," marrying the jerk I did.
On many lonely days, Prince was with me.
I entered a dance contest and danced to "Arrogance." I was dressed as Cat woman.
I didn't win. I was glad. I didn't want 2.
"Sign of the times," reminds me of yesterday evening..just passing the time.
"3121." reminds me that when I get back from a walk on the beach...I've got a cd to listen 2...
All in all...Prince has been around.
"The Lion Sleeps Tonight...

The GB soundrack always reminds me of when I was a kid. It was my favorite movie when I was like, 7 or 8 (don't ask me why)...

And ofcourse when I was 12 and lived with the radio on they were ALWAYS playing 1999 cuz of Y2K so that also takes me back.
