thing is, i've been listening to hjis older albums for the past month all along.... right now i can't bear it though

I just can't.

But I am sooo glad I got my hands on HitNRun 2 from Electric Fetus. I admit, I think the first one was better, but now this last one will have a whole new meaning. I'm sure I'll get into it someday, but it won't be for awhile.... I just can't hear his stuff now because I don't have fellow fans I'm close to in my city, don't know about the gatherings or listening parties that might be happening. But in my mind - wow - can't get lyrics or images from his videos out of my head. It's like an ongoiung soundtrack playing in my brain - it's comforting and saddening at the same time.

exactly! i had that yesterday and all of last night. it's like a whirlwind is blowing in your mind and it
constantly pushes up pictures, video's, live performances, interviews, songs, lyrics etc etc etc. it's
quieted down today, thank god. but yesterday was a very bad day indeed.

Can't do Sometimes In April at all. Thinking about the lyrics breaks me down...

I know, I can't do it either. Nor can I Purple Rain. Just can't.

His last two shows...

I have to listen to his music right after his passing. makes me think he is still alive. makes me feel closer to him. I'm playing Prince music videos on my "the hits" dvd. controversy is playing right now.

Trying to make yet another Prince mixtape. I feel like this will be the best one. I'm in no way a religious person. But his music truly brought me to God. If that makes sense. So I want this mix to reflect that. 80 minute blank CD. Suggestions? All I have so far is The Cross, Dolphin, and Anna Stesia.

The Ladder, God, Holy River, The Everlasting Now, One of Us (cover song), I Wish U Heaven, Still Would Stand All Time, The Dance Electric. Elephants and Flowers.

All of´em. Especially the first 4 Records. Discovering ´For you´ again

Too distraught to listen to Prince's music. In fact, I may never again.

Yesterday I was listening to Art Official Age, and I found this album to be much better than what I remembered it to be.

The first album I put two days ago was One nite alone.

Today 20ten. I do not know why. Today I'm listening Walk In Sand and Sea Of Everything on repeat.

Yesterday I share some songs on social network, Kamasutra Eternal Embrace and Octopus Heart.

None.

I can't.

This wil take some time for me.

I know it will feel different than before.

Here is what I said on another thread:

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).

.

Yesterday when A Case Of U came onto my headphones, I had to take my headphones off for a few minutes as it was too tough to listen too. He sings that song so beautifully. I can't stop playing the Most Beautiful Girl In The World - there is something very special about that song - he was truly free and spreading his wings.

.

I miss him so much - I just can't believe this has happened.

Everything and anything the man did ... had his whole collection on random shuffle. Sometimes its eased the pain, sometimes its brought tears to my eyes. Suspect it'll be like this for a while.

Same!

Me and a pal are having a trubute night tonight, going to watch all his movies and listen none stop, i'm spinning For You as i type.

None.

.

And it's something I always do when someone I have admired dies. I put on the film, or the CD, in tribute.

.

But I haven't done it with Prince. Not sure why. Maybe it's too painful still. Or it's just in my bones.

I am listening to The Current radio stream,all of it is a tribute to the Greatest Artist of all time,I cannot believe that his voice will not be heard live ever again

Way Back Home

^ definitely won't handle Way back home.

It's Atlanta for me.... hearing him talk is so comforting and alive...

Sometimes it snows in April

Damn U

Money don't matter 2 nite

Under the Cherry moon

Still would stand all time

Gone too soon by Michael Jackson.
