HIS experiences, I mean, stuff that happened to him in real life, and made a song about it

make a list

thanks in advance

90% of them?

It's hard to tell really what's real and what's fiction but I've tried to come up with a list to reply your request then realized it would contain most of his catalogue and gave it up

It'd be shorter to list his songs NOT about personal experiences IMHO.

According to the Lipstick Alley Girl, the video for Gett Off was inspired by a true party had had with the Game Boyz and 20 or so girls

the original Old Friends 4 Sale (JimmY Jam & Terry Lewis, Wendy Melvoin, bodyguard Chick H and possible Morris Day & Vanity)

.

Hello (a song about the events surrounding the We Are the World project) in 1985

Eye No [sorta about his experience with X and the change of releasing the Black album]

There are songs that are inspired by someone, but I guess you are looking for more specific songs like the ones I listed?

I once lent my Sign 'O the Times cds to a girl I wanted to date. (She had never heard the album.) I said, "Listen to this to understand me a little better." Needless to say she was very intrigued after that. #winning

Yeah, the whole Lovesexy album kinda reflects that night. The rap in Alphabet St and Anna Stesia most prominently.

I think there are some songs about his son too, but I don't like to bring that subject up :/

Is there a link to the Lipstick Alley Girl's stories? I've heard tidbits of them and would be interested in hearing what else she has to say..

Letitgo seems very revealing to me. Prince lamenting his physical and emotional seclusion.

Purple Rain inspired in part by "goings-on" a New Years Eve Party thrown by Jesse Johnson In Macon,GA.

School yard.

papa.

No the thread was deleted, most likely at the request of the person who posted her stories, who clearly expressed their fear of legal retaliation in their last posts by publishing all kinds of disclaimers in their last posts before a certain other lady had the thread sinking into a conspirationist thing (and got banned from that forum after being banned from the Org ). I was lucky enough to read the whole thing a few days before it was deleted, thanks to Laura who pointed me in that direction. I'm pretty sure some people from the Org have copied and saved the whole thread, though, but I didn't. It was a hell of a fascinating thread for sure, admitting the girl was for reals (I think she was) she told some of the most interesting Prince stories ever!

The romantic interludes aside (too many to count), I'd add the following to your list:

"The Holy River"

"The Sacrifice of Victor"

"Don't Play Me"

.

Possibly also "White Mansion", "Days of Wild", "What's My Name", "BREAKDOWN", and "WAY BACK HOME".

Bob George
Horny Pony
3 Chains O' Gold

Ohh I see. Would you mind sharing the stories she told? If you don't wanna clutter the thread, an orgNote would be nice I've been interested in this for a long time

.

If anyone else has all the stories, I'd love to hear 'em!

That time period and album did have a lot of more personally direct songs

I'll add In This Bed I Scream -an apology or attempt at reconnection to Wendy & Susannah Melvoin and Lisa Coleman
