PDogz said: For whatever it's worth, I've had two significant dreams in recent years where I was around or with Prince at Paisley Park and another undetermined location. In each of the dreams, he was much lonelier and much more fragile than many people would expect. I know a dream's a dream, but these were very vivid and tactile. I've had a different impression of him ever since.

Close2u said: Just to add to the topic of loneliness,
I think a person needs to spend time alone in order to grow, or sort out problems, I think sometime ppl avoid their problems, when they are always around others this can make it hard to focus Being alone, and being lonely are quite different. | |

I can relate to this thread on a personal level:
Prince appears to be 'far removed', due to - 1) Excessive thoughts of his father.... 2) Excessive thoughts of his mother.... 3) Excessive thoughts of his childhood.... 4) Excessive bursts of sounds and lyrics which he then shapes into songs.... He cannot hide it. | |

Genesia said: Prince undoubtedly feels the loneliness that goes with not being an ordinary person. I mean...everyone feels lonely at times. But there's a special kind of loneliness that is part and parcel of knowing that you are living an experience that no one else can truly appreciate - because there's no one else on your level.
Put another way...it's lonely at the top. Yep, it's lonely at the top...especially when there's no one on the bottom.  | |

How do any of you know if he's lonely or not?  | |

We don't, but dollars to donuts, there's some truth in this thread. | |

I don't think he's lonely at all. If he is, it's because he choses to. Just because he doesn't look happy in some pictures doesn't mean he's lonely. | |

[Edited 4/18/09 4:00am] You mean mine? It's simply what true passion feels like...don't be so sensitive...it's just words...But don't worry, I will soon change it to "I'm a sweet little girl who waits for Prince to take me to my Prom night"... [Edited 4/18/09 6:24am] | |

[Edited 4/17/09 16:02pm]  He looks like he's reflecting on something. He's a mellow guy with an uncanny capacity to remain calm during much adversity. | |

Dayclear said: I've read a lot of Prince's life and childhood and I think he has always felt alone, even when he was with people. It must have been a hell of a thing to have to live in someone's basement when he was a kid, then beg your father to let you come home and be told no. Have you seen the 'Somebody's somebody' video. That shit is REAL.
[Edited 4/17/09 18:21pm] No, I haven't seen that video. | |

If he had retired in 1995, that would've been 17 years since his debut album.
"17" being a recurring theme in his music. |

Normally I judge too over things I see in pictures but I can't say that he's lonely because of the pics, those pics are posed and we all know that Prince knows how to pose.
Some songs of his sound as if he's looking for true love, so yes, he'll be lonely sometimes but I think that Prince has enough people around him to do things with, whatever those may be. I guess him being so religious has made him more easy, accepting of the way things are. And Prince seems (my opinion) like someone who is too selfish to share his life with someone. Music on no. 1. He has always lived his life the way he wanted in every way so sharing his life with someone else and adjusting to that someone's life doesn't seem his thing. That's maybe his own fault and also of his status. | |

Most artistic people spend a lot of time by themselves- not necessarily feeling lonely but wrapped up in their own head and thoughts... People do outgrow friends, but it is troubling that so many "friends" have been outgrown. Maybe some people were not friends at all just bandmates? But, his earliest bandmates had to be friends- that is who you get to start a band w/ you... makes me sad that he appears to have lost all contact with those who have known him from day-it keeps you in check, and is a peaceful thing to laugh and cry with someone who knows what you are thinking and feeling, knows who you are and what you came from...
None of us know, maybe he does maintain some old friendships. Maybe things occured that were so painful at the time, P just wanted to leave it all behind. It is obvious that he has from day one been on a quest to find truth- about himself, love, god, and the world and those around him- we have been lucky enough to have him share this journey with us via his music. I, like everyone here, hope he does find his true self, true love and peace. I hope we all (all humans) find truth, love, and peace. | |

honestly, i feel Prince is not lonely. i surmise he is content with being
alone. (meaning he appreciates his "all-one-ness") i think he has been decieved, lied to and or hurt many times by many people because of his fame. i mean can you imagine how many hanger-ons he has encountered over the years. to be around Prince i feel a person has to be super honest and confident of who they are. i feel he has a close cirlce of friends and lovers. no i do not feel he is lonely. [Edited 4/18/09 14:05pm] Live life as though each moment is as precious & beautiful as a rainbow after a spring rain. b positive, creative, kind, productive, resourceful & respectful of humankind, & feel free 2 know that U-R-A  . i can feel it when u shine on me | |

I think he is lonely at times but he does his best to run from it. Think about it everyone around him is getting something for being there not saying that they all are bad people but he doesn't have anyone there who is just there for him because they choose to be how many that are there now would still be if he wasn't the Prince we all know today? Giving his genius not to many really understand him for what he is. I'm sure there are plenty of times when all the work is done and he is in that big house alone and wants to hear tiny feet running around and a wife who is there for him and him only. He is at a point in his life where he needs those things in his life. A life lived only for one isn't really life at all. Choose wisely God knows and hears and sees all. Proverbs 23:9 | |
