I'm with you, man. I've actually been avoiding that song. The day of, I had nothing. Yesterday I broke down watching the Superbowl performance. Today has just been an ongoing thing even though I haven't listened to much today. | |

Rewatching his videos to "Betcha By Golly Wow" and "Holy River" about his marrage to Mayte and having a baby, being reaired repeatedly on MTV and BET, is what got to me. So so sad. He died alone, wifeless, no living son and no daughter. Even no living parent. I don't even think he was dating anybody anymore. His sister Tyka is likely going to inherit his estate, Pasiley Park, NPG Records, all of his music, and the vaults of hundreds, thousands? of unreleased music, unreleased videos and concert footage, etc. wow.

I refuse to listen to the song. It's way too painful. 99% of my posts are ironic. Maybe this post sides with the other 1%. | |

Check out this guy on youtube named Casino who does a cover. This is probably one of the best covers of Prince song I've heard.

CNN was saying Prince had a GF though. I didn't catch the name or any more info if there was any. But yeah, the fact he died having no kids is sad. But at least he's with his two children now. Maybe do, just not like did before | |

Don't apologize - that's what were here for. We ALL get it. BTW - cried like a baby when I heard this song on my mix tape. Thought many of the same things you did and I am sure so did everyone else. Peace and love to you. | |

dJJ said: I refuse to listen to the song. It's way too painful. I agree, it's really painful and the song makes me cry. It's hard for me to listen to any prince music at the moment Welcome 2 The Dawn | |

I've always loved this song. It's eerie and sad that it now feels so appropriate for him. I'm actually playing it quite a lot. I find it comforting, goodness knows why, but right now, whatever gets me through etc etc...

Oh? We'll likely find out info like that after the investigation is complete instead of just all the rumors, like what he was doing at Walgreens, etc. Goodnight, sweet Prince. | |

Funny how many thought "Fams" was silly compared to "Fans", but Prince made us feel like family. Cause tomorrow is taking too long
and yesterday's too far away and the reality that you believe in begins to bind. | |

Nothing silly about fam. Prince liked to call us that, and his own Nelson family didn't always treat him like family in his formative years, they didn't seem to want him around, until he got rich and famous. Fan is short for fanatic, and the definition isn't pretty. [Edited 4/23/16 17:27pm] Goodnight, sweet Prince. | |

Great post. I ´ve read and enjoyed every single line you wrote and can totally relate to your feelings. And...I was also 12 when I first got into Prince´s music but that was in 1984. And his music helped me get through some very tough phases in my life, but also was the soundtrack to some very good phases, and to me he was a great inspiration, teacher, role model and motivator. The song makes me very sad, and ever since he passed away I´ve been a complete mess.

I always kinda had a hard time listening to this song anyway just because it was about his character's death... a name he took as his own as a songwriter ("Manic Monday") and in the UTCM movie. So weird too that the song, according to Wendy, was conceived and birthed (written and recorded) on the very same day he would die, April 21st.
btw, i also was 12 when i first got into his music. . [Edited 4/23/16 17:53pm] ∞ ʀ⁅VERB⁆я ∞ | |

When and where did Wendy say that? I´m surprised that she still remember that date. I tried to find her twitter or FB but to no avail. I did find the Wendy and Lisa page but it hasn´t been updated in a long time. " I´d rather be a stank ass hoe because I´m not stupid. Oh my goodness! I got more drugs!

i'm 21 (so bit older, but i got into Prince when i was around 12 too) and i have the same thing now.. now i start to realise some things i didn't before about him... and i feel guilty... i still can't listen to his music, i just don't want to face reality and the emotions i have. i'm still in shock. it hasn't hit me yet, i only cried once so far. because it's so surreal and i don't want to face the reality.
''He's right. Love wasn't really love until he passed.''
yes, you are right. although i always knew how much i loved him, but sometimes you actually forget, if you get what i mean.. what someone really means to you. for me at least, it just hits me now how much he was part of my life. part of so much stuff i went through and experienced.
Sometimes It Snows in April... that song is the most painful one, i always had problems listening to this song, because i always felt sadness. i saw it live, it was same thing, tears... sadness. i never understood why exactly, it just reminded me of things.. i guess. (of course it's a beautiful song and it is sad). the song is just so surreal right now. he died in april. its like he knew.. and it actually started snowing yesterday and today in my country, it's unbelievable... i'm speechless, i just don't know.. | |
