I'm still in denial. It feels wrong. sad

I'm experiencing all the symptoms except grief, I refuse to cry yet, it almost overtook me a few times

While driving home yesterday, I actually started envisioning meeting you all for a memorial celebration, and almost lost it.

All the people that know I'm a Prince fan who tried to connect with me, or console me, just couldn't give me what I need. Even my 73 yr old dad sent me a text it's irritating me irritating me, because it really does feel wrong, like something is off with the universe



I hear ya. I had to pull off the road Thursday until I stopped screaming and shaking. I just kept screaming no at the top of my lungs, over and over.

My god-sister irritated me yesterday but I just thanked her and cut the convo short.

This is a very difficult stage to get through because it feels so wrong. We are leaning on each other to help us get through this. I appreciate others in my life for trying to console me but the only people who truly understand are here on this site.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

I haven't logged on to the Org in years as I forgot my password and it was linked to a defunct email address. Somehow, I don't know how, today I tried again and I managed to pull it out of the memory bank.....

I'm bereft. I feel like I've lost an old friend.

I saw him maybe 10 or 12 times over the course of 3 decades, the last time being in the UK in 2014. I was one of the people sitting at their laptop last November hoping the message about tickets for Piano and a Microphone no longer being on sale was a temporary glitch. Unfortunately not, and I never got to see him again. The first time I heard his music (Little Red Corvette) was literally a life changing moment. His music has been the soundtrack to some of my most formative moments and his lyrics narrated big parts of my life. So many memories are intermeshed with his work that it's painful to recall them. It also reminds me, once again, of my own lost loves, lost lives and my decision to turn my back on playing music.

Like so many of you, I'm grieving. I'm 46 fucking years old. I have 3 children and a grandchild and a very responsible job....so why did I spend last night sobbing like a baby while watching videos of a man I never met?

I suppose his music, his wit, beauty (both internal and external), his wisdom and his humanity touched us all in some way.

Thanks Prince. There will never be another like you.

Massive co-sign. Peace and prayers to everyone. My wife made purple pancakes for family breakfast this morning, some shaped like paisleys, the love symbol, and the Batman symbol. Fitting Saturday breakfast tribute to the author of every note that has ever meant anything to me.

Yes, I totally understand. I don't have any close friends who are Prince fans where I live. So I feel a bit isolated.

I was parked at best buy on Wedesday and someone was blasting International Lover, I walked by their truck and gave them a thumbs up and a smile and he gave it back and nodded

Then yesterday our division Commissioner was at a function in all Purple (suit shirt tie shoes) found out he is a huge Prince fan. my division head is a fan too. So I've been able to reach out to someone a bit.

This site is a community 4 sure. Prince gave us a culture. I will always type the number instead of the word when talking 2 Prince fans.

I live in the south, and my daughter works in a boutique, last night when she came home, she told me that a lot of the customers came in wearing purple, and it made her want to cry. She knows all about Prince because of me being a huge fan, and her hearing his songs throughout her childhood. I'm amazed at how much love is being shown to him, such as I've never seen before, it makes me smile and cry at the same time.

You know you're a Prince fan when your mother, your boss, your colleagues and your friends offer you their sympathies as if you had just lost your brother.



And I did.



I'm afflicted/blessed with Permanent Earworm Syndrome, which means that music is always playing in my head, night and day. In the first few minutes when I was absorbing the reality that my musical hero and creativity guru was suddenly gone, I realized that Black Muse was already playing in the space between my two ears when I first heard the news. It had been there since earlier that day.



I stopped to think about that. He was already on my mind on what was supposed to be a regular day, what is going to happen now that I have the ultimate excuse to dig deep into my collection of released and unreleased material? I mean, I could keep my internal DJ on blast forever and a day.



For you, my fellow orgers, here are the songs I have played since I learned the sad news:


- Popped the SOTT DVD to try and dry my tears, got as far as ICNTTPOYM.


- Someone sang the Purple Rain refrain to me at the office, but I haven't played that song -- too soon.


- Free Yourself


- Black Muse


- Mr. Nelson (wonderful, sounded like an invocation)


- Neon Telephone


- Let's Go Crazy Reloaded


- Moonbeam Levels


- Empty Room (the Blast from the Past FLAC file, took some guts to press play since it could make Kleenex sales increase 1000% if properly released one day!)


- A Case of U (oh lord)


- Crimson and Clover (oh lord part II, this track sounds PERFECT right now).



(I stopped myself from listening to The Breakdown and Hardrocklover, some other day when I'm stronger I will, but because these are so recent it's just harder).



That was my first long post on the topic -- grieving is a very individual process, everyone has their own pace.



Love to all the Org and may his music always be in your heart.

like the rest of you, I'm having a hard time wih this.

I remember being at tower and kemp mill at midnight to buy the latest Prince CD. I think the last time was the Emancipation CD at the record store in Minneapolis

I remember dancing at Paisley Park and seeing Prince there several times.

I remember seeing Purple Rain and my mother covering my eyes during the sex scene ( I was way too young to be watching that movie)

I remember my cousin sneaking the 1999 double vinyl in the house and listening to it in the basement

I remember buying someones CD just because Prince wrote or produced one song on it.

I remember someone stealing my SIgn o' The Times cassette our of my car and I was depressed until the following weekend when it was payday to replace it.

This is like loosing a family member. I learned that it's okay to be a freak, that I was okay to be whom I was becoming because of Prince.

Every song is a memory of a perfectly captured time.

I lurk around and haven't posted in years but just had to now. I had crazy busy day on Thursday so didn't get to check my phone/internet until I got home. There was a text from my brother asking me if I was ok and that it was such sad news. I had no idea what he meant, thought he might be talking about a family member. I texted him and he text back that Prince had died. I was so shocked. I think only today it has hit me.
I'm sure like most people on the org I have stories and stories about how his music affected me over the years, today all sorts of memories of them of been coming back to me.

My neigbour asked me if she could get me anything. She laughed saying that she read on fb about my suffering. She is a sweetheart, but as she has lost a lot of people in her life, she must consider my pain a bit over the top.

It's good to know that you guys understand.

And I just don't want it to be true.


Just not true.

i keep thinking i'll wake up with a jolt and realize it's all just been a bad dream sad

Wow,
Prince brought people together from all ethnic backgrounds religious beliefs/non beliefs political parties, nationalities, economic backgrounds.

I too go out and I can tell who the Prince fans are
Maybe on his birthday from here on out we will all 'wear some purple'

I received calls, texts, and Facebook messages. My daughter and husband called me first wanting to know if I was ok. My mother-in-law called immediately from out of state. He was family.

Reflections: times are hard now. I've recently started reading through the comments here and had to pause to say my own condolences. It's hard to awaken and realize that we'll never see our hero at another live show or meet by chance on the street. We'll never watch him strap on that guitar; pluck a string; strike a key; drum or shake a killa' tamborine; serenade us with that voice--fierce and lovely--eggging us on to share some love or to FEEL THE FUNK. Every day the realization strikes more sharply as dagger- reality. I do take solace in his final few albums which hold much humor and maturity--I appreciate these artifacts plus the rest of the inspirations that have flowed through him to leave a very personal impact upon the greater part of mine own life.
>
Distance is the difficult part of being a caring fan whose hero's welfare you're rooting for. I'm sure there were more achievments he was striving to accomplish in these days...sigh. I can't help but temporarily wonder about what might have been had he survived that one more day, you know? I'll get over that feeling, though, and channel other inspirations forward.
>
I can continue to wear the Prince uniform with pride. He was a true funk soldier/love warrior who went out strong, even in his own ultimate moment of mortality. He's a star who reminds us that we're all human beings existing on the same plane; to love & treasure the love; respect life & self; keep the spirit of unity alive; to fight for your vitality.
>
One inspiration to get us by is that we remain here to perform the deeds that are left to us. I may be inspired to pick up a musical instrument and play for my own entertainment and (maybe) amusement of others nearby. I may volunteer for community activities--to become a better community activist. I'll definitely remain a supporter of the arts and advocate stronger artists' empowerment in commercial aspects. We must support the arts to nurture our natural feelings and cultivate our sense of humanity. yinyang

I decided to share my little story. To me it was a big deal, but maybe to others it's nothing. I have always been blessed with having that 6th Sense. In times of stress, it seems to go away or I'n unaware. Anyway, Ihave been very very busy, stressed, not sleeping and sick on top of it since the end of March. Just getting better this past week.

>

Anyway, someone who knew I love Prince emalled me to ask if I had heard about the plane landing, hopsital, sick, etc and she hoped ok. When I heard it ws the flu, released, etc I didn't worry and it left my mind.

>

The next day, I was checking facebook and I must have seen a news blurb, and didn't read it but scanned the title. At that exact moment (4/16) I remember a thought, that "i really hope something does not happen to him before he does that autobiogtaphy so he can share what was really going on from his view." I tried to ignore that thought and a a stronger one came through and it was 'Is he going to die soon." Again, I ignored this becasue I assumed it was the fact he was hospitalized etc messing with my mind.

>

Fast forward to 4/21. It was a super hectic day for me. My daughter was being confirmed at 4. I have been a Prince fan since about 1980 or 81. ( was 12/13)..Anyway, I was franticially looking for a particular sweater to wear over my dress. I'm disorganized now and had so many summer, winter clothes, etc mixed in 2 big basket but I'm running late and I know that sweater is there. Eventually found it after 20 minutes. So i decided to quickly organize the 2 baskets, etc and I had some gym clothes and organized them too..LOts of clothes.

Anyway I'd tidied up those baskets and few stacks of gym clothes, got dressed, etc. I was just finishing up and on the floor I see a rolled up black shirt. ..It bothered me to leave it there so I picked it up. It was my PRINCE concert Tankshirt that I care for because it's the last one I have. I don't wear it very much because I like it...lol.. I had lived out o fhte country from the early 1990's until about 2010.....so I missed Prince all of those years, as he never toured near where we were. Made up for it of course since 2010 as much as I could. Anyway, in 5 minutes after me looking at the shirt and putting it where I normally keep it (Never in the basket!), muy husband came up and told me Prince had died. I was shocked but not if that makes sense. So sad.

>

I could not think at the confirmation, and the only song I kept hearing in ny head was "The Love We Make."

>

I beleive sure there are coincidences in life, but I also believe we are all interconnected. I believe that was Prince way of connecting. As silly or as small as it was. So grateful to have been able to see this legend and experience this guy for most of my life. We are blessed.

Sorry for typos

Prince's passing is as impactful to music as Elvis' death, and John Lennon's murder.

Truly a one-in-a-million artist.

I keep starting to write something on various threads & then cancelling the post...the words, they fall on the floor.
He's been my number one since I was a little girl. My private, little magical alternative dimension, filled with joy, perfection, glamour, fun....got me thru many dark days that little world. Gave me some of the most heart stopping joyful exciting experiences of my life. LOVE to all those who love & all those who's hearts ache.
