Sade is unmatched. Just thought about this song.


Sade is poetess prophetess & real singer/musician.

I was so in love with you
You rarely see a love that's true
Wasn't that enough for you
Wasn't that enough for you
I would climb a mountain
I wouldn't want to see you fall
Rock climb for you
And give you a reason for it all

You kept on thinking
You were the only one
Too busy thinking
Love is a gun

Hit me like a slow bullet
Like a slow bullet
It took me some time to realise it

You keep on thinking
You were the only one
Too busy thinking
Love is a gun

I know the end before
The story's been told
It's not that complicated
But you're gonna need a bullet proof soul

You keep on thinking
You were the only one
Too busy thinking
Love is a gun

I know the end before
The story's been told
It's not that complicated
But you're gonna need a bullet proof soul

You were trigger happy baby
You never warned me let me free
It's not that complicated
But you're going to need a bullet proof soul
Think you got it but you got all the trouble you need
I came in like a lamb
But I intend to leave like a lion

It hit me like a slow bullet
It hit me like a slow bullet

U have me wondering if that is your perception of him, generally, or if in 2009/10 he engaged in behaviour towards fans which would warrant such a label. then again, capitalism/individualism requires one to be aggressive, look out for no. 1...should prince be the exception?



Fans? Try the people he works with 1st. Then check in with the general consensus on his 2009 business ventures.

I would argue that my perception is vividly clear.

I have always been just like most fans. People made/make fun of me for being a fan and I defend Prince. I even defend his loonier decisions like his feud with youtube and dancing babies ect...Even the music that is not my favorite stuff, that was Prince's vibe at the time and I dig that even his worst would be a GREAT album for most of the hacks working today.

But I will never defend the blatant bullshit he pulls on fans year after year, weather it be through a stunted business sense or just outright malice, Prince is a habitual line stepper. For every fan that has had a good experience, there are 100 that feel screwed over. At some point you gotta look at the math,take off the blinders, and realize there is something there.

I don't like saying that, it pains me to be so fond of someone, yet so put off by his behavior. But I am also not blind to the truth.



Ha ha, all these things I read about Prince on here & elsewhere make me very happy that I know where to get all his shit for free.

And I got a ton of it, too... So much that I have barely listened to it, but it was free and I see this as a slap back to him for being a douchebag, so often.

I think my thread sums it up:

http://prince.org/msg/7/326044?&pg=1

I think most threads are not about Prince (as I state in the above thread) but more about ourselves. Sometimes our lack of intolerance or dismissiveness of others, or demanding need to be the center of attention. All of which is not about Prince, but about us. How we choose to react is our responsibility not only online but in life. We short change ourselves when we "don't" care.

"Could it be, though, that the anonymity of the Internet has given these individuals a sense of boldness, so that what they perceive as weaknesses or negativity on the part of Prince, is so much more important than his many achievements or strengths...ex: lets rather discuss songs we dislike, or things about Prince that we do not like, than what attracted us to the man in the first place"

With the internet it is easier to blame another then to take responsibility for our part; some people just feel taller when they push somebody down.
99.9% of everything I say is strictly for my own entertainment

Prince! The richest man on earth is the poorest man that is most content with his life and what God has given him. Please help the Universe with your music. God made. God wants you to help people with your music. And a little boy that I know wants you to make a deal and get Guitar Hero because he has Autism and he needs stimulation through sight and sound not just Autism kids in children with disablities. Some that want to stay current, these kids like computers. I know there are other artist that made them,but some of the kids listen to your music. Mr Prince just be nice. I know you can think on your own. But you said the music doesn't sound right. So fix it, you can fix. Play that GUITAR like their is no tomorrow. Peace
guitar prince
