"And she surrendered her discerning of it into his care

and keeping..."

i believe in theocracy, just not at anyone else's expense or exclusion.

unfortunately the JW's tend to preach an exclusive belief rather than an inclusive one.

i think i'm beginning to understand a bit better now why he chose this particular religion/cult.

maybe they support his ideas of superiority over others.

i'm also beginning to wonder if all these characters in this rainbow children story are archetypes in his own mind

might also be possible that he is all of those characters, the different aspects of his psyche and nature laid out for all to see

played out like a play with different scenes, his own inner battles, betrothals and betrayals in a split-screen symphony of musical color and religious odor

If they are only archetypes in his own mind, then it's no big deal (providing he's aware of this), but I do agree that he seems to take his beliefs as a license to judge others, moreso now (or possibly - hopefully? - then) than ever.

It makes sense to me that he, like many artists, works through spiritual, philosophical and even political ideas and opinions by way of his creative work.

We've seen plenty of different aspects of Prince through various albums over the years and to that end, The Rainbow Children is no different.

I think he was particularly excited about this one, and thus perhaps more pushy (and as such, controversial) because he really believed he'd solved the human puzzle - all the answers were apparently very clear to him during this stage of his life.

I'd be interested to know what he thinks about the album now (lyrically speaking). Does he still believe everything that he did back from TRC era? What's changed? What hasn't?

Has he figured out yet that the most valuable muse in the world to him lives within?

now we're getting somewhere

makes even less sense that an inner muse should submit to outer ways, or continue to inspire him when he opts for the outer over the inner, or be tempted to engage in the outer when the inner is where the real kingdom resides

thank you for your interpretation of our interperative speculations

i tend to agree with you on one point though:

only the muse knows what this song is about

the pharaoh on the other hand is still playing mind games

in his comfort zone of one-upman-ship

supposing truth cannot be made known or even seen

such a slippery presumption when all is already known

are you referring to prince or the pharaoh? cuz i'm talking about the pharaoh..

whether or not prince has the one or not who knows - the song is sung in the 3rd person - most of the rainbow children narrative is prince telling a story

there's very little suggesting he's speaking about himself - which is why we were discussing possibilities...

i'll move on from the discussion when i'm good and ready thanks

No doubt the Wise One will tell the Muse what this song is really about, now that she's surrendered her discernment into his care and keeping

And yes, perhaps one day I'll have a Pharaoh of my very own to explain it to me.

Umm...agreed.

Surely then, a perfectly valid way to appreciate art is to do exactly that - to speculate, share interpretations, observe reactions, etc...

As I said earlier in this thread, I am very grateful to Prince for providing music that assists me in learning more about myself and helps to expand my spiritual boundaries, even if they expand in ways that are counter to his own beliefs.

I would imagine that even Prince himself would discover more layers in his own work, should he ever choose to look back on works like TRC.

Can u c what is Hidden?

I'm working on it

U gonna make me pull out the cd and listen 2 it again. See I always thought that it was about Prince but on the down low. Kinda like he put himself and his "muse" (I am starting to not like this word very much ) in the story. Like u said no one knows but the pharaoh and his muse. I love how deep this is going...............it's a blast.

apparently the word 'pharaoh' means an ancient egyptian ruler, of religion and politics, and is a compound word for 'the sun god'.

i might be wrong on these definitions but they were the 1st to appear when i looked it up.

1. is/was Prince an ancient egyptian ruler?

2. an authority in religion and politics ... yet JW's dont support politics?

3. is prince the sun god when he clearly lives his days by the light of the moon?

Tony M:

During soundchecks, Mosley would rap while testing the microphone. Prince observed this and began to allow Mosely to gradually add his raps into live performances. Believing that rap would benefit his "street" credibility with his declining black audience Prince decided to elevate Mosely's position in the group.

I guess it's all about what sacrifice can U make.

I love Muse 2 The Pharaoh, as I do the whole album.

The love story is my favourite aspect of the work, and, although I'm sure it offers some insight into what Prince himself is looking for, I've never thought that was the main text of the story.

That said, my personal belief is that it describes the union between Jesus and Mary Magdalene and, given that no organised religion that I know of acknowledges such a union, I wouldn't suggest that's what Prince intended, but, like any artist, you don't get to pick how your fans interpret your work

What I do love about his indirect and sometimes very obscure lyrics is that, even after years of loving the album, I still search for more meaning which expands my own spiritual understanding along the way. Ironic, perhaps, given that the man offering inspiration to a boundless spiritual journey is the one (possibly? ) settling into a fixed dogma himself.

In any case, this thread led me to search more about the Moses/Egypt connection, which led me to theories about Jesus being one in the same with Tutankhamun, who married Ankhesenamun, who is regarded by some to be the true Magdalene. So was Mary Magdalene really the Pharaoh's muse, who later, through her understanding of God, became queen?

Hmm...I put some breadcrumbs out here so I could find my way back after that...stand by...

I love the song on lots of different levels, and I enjoy that it (like all of TRC and lots of his other work) can be a catalyst for discussion and learning, but ultimately it was probably a mix of somewhat fixed and transient beliefs that held particular interest for Prince at the time and as interesting as it can be to look at and ponder on, it's certainly not worth investing much emotion into the process (unless it's the lovely gooey emotion that one might feel whilst listening to it *sigh* ).

thanks so much for filling in the gaps for me, good to hear some direct info and another interpretation

here's another context which is interesting to me:

Like a thief in the night, my Lord come and strike
Leave nothing but ashes 2 the left, dust 2 the right
Holocaust aside, many lived and died
But when all truth is told, would U rather be dead or be sold?

could he be saying that the Lord is responsible for many deaths and many saved lives, not including the holocaust? because he doesnt believe the Lord is responsible for the Holocaust?

maybe better to die by the hand of the Lord than be sold as slaves?

Sold 2 the one who can now mate
The displaced bloodline with the white jailbait
Thinkin' like the keys on Prince's piano will be just fine

the keys on Prince's piano are black and white yes?

Yeah, we gon' be fine

So there it is - 4 all 2 see
Now what's beyond U and me
Depends my friends primarily
On how U view your role in eternity

If she could be muse 2 the pharaoh
Then one day she might be queen

still wondering how the previous lines relate to being a pharaoh's muse?

all that aside, wouldnt it be funny if he just makes this stuff up as he goes and doesnt give it a second thought once he's done with it?

When all truth is told....tutankhamen was born with the name tutankhaton & so was his wife ankhesenaton ....it was eje the military idiot who made them change their names/faith.

Jesus can never ever be put in relations to -amen/amon ....that cup would be too bitter, nefer

IF she could be muse to the pharoah someday she MIGHT be queen?

if she could be muse to prince maybe this song would be listenable ... one thing i find frustrating as a prince fan is when he ruins pretty good song ideas with rediculous lecture poetry. in fact i cannot in good concience call this poetry .. it has too much intention behind it .. it is not the word of god .. it is the word of man ... confused man at that ... the muse inspires truth .. this song lacks sincerety or love .. the muse has failed as the song states but reality is that prince failed and blames the muse.

prince concept of spirituality took a sharp nose dive during this era ... to me he sounds lost ... kinda like some tammy faye baker action all over a record .. yeah tammy can preach the same word as ghandi or moses but does it sound like she has a clue what spirituality is ... not to me anyway .. same for prince sorry ... and what is all this IF shit? ... sounds like the asshole in the relationship where IF u do this and IF u do that MAYYYYBE i will marry u ... well I guess he doesnt like her cuz he wants her to change and even then there is a big maybe MIGHT ... i dont think people who are walking a righteous path go around bribing people with being A QUEEN if they change this and that .. its just absurd .. besides with him she could only be princess ...

sounds to me more like he is pissed at himself for not being able to write anything worthwhile and he's blaming it on her .. like he could be KING of pop if he only she was a better MUSE and if he was king he could make her queen .. wha?

as for factual or historical significance .. well most of what we accept as true .. be it bible history egypt gods goddesses etc... its all severely distorted and manipulated .. the message is out there .. in art .. in truth .. when u stop reiterating someone elses "teachings" or "understandings" and start thinking and feeling for yourself that is when u KNOW ... he who feels it knows it ... lets not forget all words are made of spelling and a spelling they will bee .. be cause that is the intention not the truth

the choice of blacks being sold into slavery for 400Yrs.

1. I believe it means 1 who rules as or like the Sun/Son

just like "Christ" or the Light...Jesus is the Son of the Sun or Light

he is the Christ-ed Light ie he is illuminted or en-light-ened if u will

"Jesus Christ" along with many other "enlightened" beings were

"en-light-ened" they became like the light or of the light

2. "He" the Pharoah being a metaphor for 1 who surpases both religion n politics meaning he is above both.. he is 1 with the Sun/Aten/Ra

the "Gods" representing the 12 signs of the zodiac if u "follow the Son/Sun u place no other god before thee. The Sun being our source of light/life

meaning again he worships nothing above him but the 1 above the "Most High" IE as above so below... hence the Pyramids

"also in reference to this being a view from the monotheistic religion of the 1 Sun "God" of Moses/Iknahten

3. When Androgynous u are both lunar n solar male/female yin/yang light/dark with both of these components together combining u have the elixer of LIFE. U become a co-creator hence giving birth 2 a child is the representation of being a co-creator

A "Rainbow Child" then would be 1 who lives under the "Sun/Son" who understands he is liken 2 the image and made in the image of "God" being the Sun according to these beliefs. This then the "Son" being created from the Light for without light do we or will we exist? from nothing is the black hole of everything which is the possibilities of the Alpha n Omega of Everything and that becomes Infinite or Infinity

Each of these colors represents a planet/chakra/color/key on a musical scale/a vibration or a path 1 can follow ie worship, and that gets deep into symbols etc. which are used by all kinds of people/organizations/religions etc.

That on a side note I thought this would be a great reason why the Artists new Cd has no "BAR-CODE" that being a tool of "the evil 1" or Set in the ancient Egyptian system of beliefs.

Anyway so the Christ-ed light of Jesus being the light through a "man" which then is given the source of the Sun 2 create the colors from the light of the Son...

Or as an Artist will do he/she creates Muse-ic

This in theory of the views within certain belief systems for which Ancient n modern Egyptians "scolars" and spirit beings believe.
