Have any of you experienced anything since he passed? Hopefully this doesn't sound too outlandish, but I do believe in signs and things of that nature. Just yesterday I was listening to Lady Cab Driver on my way home from work. I was stopped at a light, and soon as the light turned green I sang aloud "Lady Cab Driver.." happened to look over to my right and sitting there was a bright yellow taxi cab. I don't live/work in an area where Taxi's are a "thing" at all. It's like they don't even exist here, so to see one would be very strange. I did the hardest double take of my life, thank God no one was in front of me or I surely would have hit them. I just thought it was the strangest thing. Made me smile but it also made me quite emotional.

Was the taxi driver female?

I actually couldn't tell! I was in such shock

My husband and I are Christians, and my husband believes that God uses signs and things in your life to send you messages. Anyhow, my husband's dad passed last year, and we had to go out of town for his funeral. His dad was a musician, and they used to call him Toots, because he played the sax. After we flew back home, at the airport, my husband went to get the car while my son, daughter and I went to get the bags. When we got to the car, he told me to look on his shoulder, and there was a little parakeet sitting on his shoulders, and he said that it flew on his should while he was in the elevator, and he wouldn't get off, so he just got into the car with him. The little bird wouldn't budge, so we bought him a cage, and named him Toots. We just looked at it as a sign from God telling us that his dad was okay, because my husband's father had a drinking problem before he died, and wasn't a man that was close to God, so my husband worried about him, although he used to pray for him. So he took the bird as a sign that God was telling him everything with his father was alright. After Prince died, my daughter and I were in the dining room, just talking and having a snack, and a bird flew in from somewhere and flew right to the bird cage where we keep Toots and a friend we bought for it. My husband said that maybe it was God showing me that Prince was okay, because he knew that I was heartbroken over his death. I know some will think it's just a coincidence or even silly, but even it is, it made me feel better.

I'll share mine too. Last weekend we took our children to our local kids book shop where all book cost £1. It's a tiny, tiny, shop with only kids books. Anyway whilst I was browsing my husband came over to me holding a copy of Indigo nights. There was a stack of about 5 on the side!! I had been thinking about this book the day before as I'd lost the cd from my copy. Really felt like it was a sign. I bought 2 copies for £2 xx

I lost mine as well. I'm glad you were able to get it back!

I'm not sure if this has been noticed or posted anywhere else but i personally found this to be a really ominous sign.

Prince wrote the song "I Would Die 4 U"

Using the word 'for' for the number 4 and using the letter U instead of the word 'you' in the title.

April is the 4th month of the year.

The letter U is the 21st letter of the alphabet.

Prince died on April 21st .... 4/21

Yeah. The whole numbers thing is super creepy when you really dive into it. Someone else commented (either earlier on this thread, or on another one) that his first album is For You (4/21).

All of it is crazy to think about. I'd heard them all except for the IWD4U theory

Yeah that one is the most startling. Because of how direct it is. It makes the track a lot more autobiographical when you think of it in that context. There was a thread about whether or not Prince had died for us in a sense, because of the damage he did to his body. It's really creepy and sad at the same time. Cause shit, he kind of did.

I was driving to where I walk every day and as I turned the corner, I saw a white dove perched on a wire. I know, I know...just pigeon but it struck me as weird because a. we don't have a lot of pigeons

around here and b. they are usually all grey. But it was strange. Then I go to park my car and look up to see this infront of me. "PrinceTelecom" in Purple writing - never even knew this company existed. I smiled and then teared up. I knew I was wanted to listen to Diamonds and Pearls CD, but couldn't find mine anywhere. So I went to a local "wreka stow" thinking they will be wiped out and they had 4 copies....AND they didn't jack up the price. Interesting morning. Peace and Love.

I guess I have those lyrics wrong... But rely on your best friend to pull you through- didn't he kind of always allude to the only friend he had was himself. I don't know... Maybe I'm just crazy. Whatever. We believe what we want to believe I suppose. Sorry for sounded like a nut job. I really miss him. He was my savior and the one I could turn to to get me out of any funk. Sorry.

I definitely don't think you're a nut job, it really makes you think! There's something to be said about the impact he had on so many people (ie, us), his talent and his pure brilliance. I think there's a reason why we we're all taking this so hard. I can't speak for everyone, but he effected me spiritually as well. It wasn't just the music. Which is a little hard to admit being a christian, I was taught not to "worship false idols/Gods" and things like that. But I can't help the way I feel. His existence has made a profound effect on my life. I haven't felt right since he passed. I just feel off. It's not right.

I think it's also interesting everyone is talking about pigeons and doves- I was asking for a sign that Prince was still around and just as I said it this pigeon came darting out at me. As if to tell me to pay attention to it. I looked down and on its neck it had a purple spot. I don't really normally pay attention to birds, frankly they scare the ish out of me so I dont know if they normally have purple on them. So the next pigeon I saw I paid specific attention to its neck looking for purple and nope didn't see any purple on it. Pigeons and doves belong to the same Order and Family: Columbiformes and Columidae respectively. That was a few days after he died but I think that Friday (22) I also asked for a sign to know he was ok. I looked up and there was a huge cloud away from all the other clouds and there was lightning inside the cloud lighting it up... No sound of thunder, just this big ass lonely cloud, a perfect storm within. I know anything can BE a sign if you twist and manipulate it to whatever you're looking for but you truly don't see them in everything. And we you see something and immediately without even thinking say to yourself "that's so in so" ... Well you just have to trust your intuition that yeah, it is.

Whatever it was, it sounds like a beautiful coincidence to me.

i started crying when i woke up around 5am on 4/21/16. in february, before learning of Denise's passing, had strange dreams involving Ida's health and later about Joni Mitchell's remains being flown in2 space. first time i ever remember dreaming about them. i had the coolest prince dream ever on 1/1/16, but looking back at it now, it's odd that Prince was laying down on the floor at the end of the dream, though in the dream i felt that he was alive and happy.

as others have mentioned, the rainbow over paisley park was sign enough 4 me

I have always had good intuition. When some big news item is just about to break I get this feeling that the news is going to be doing 24/7 coverage on something. The morning Prince died I got that same feeling getting ready for work. The woman who cuts my hair text messaged me around 11am as TMZ was breaking the news that he had died. Being the rag that it is, and the fact Prince had announced his death before. Only to find out he was just changing his name to a symbol. I thought this was another Prince prank.

I still have a hard time with the fact he is gone. It still feels like this can't be real.

I lived on the Housequake website until it was taken down. I knew that his death would be hard for me, I just had no clue how hard it would be.

I was on Housequake as well. Didn't have the best experience there, I'm glad everyone is so welcoming here. This is hands down the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with.

It rained on the day that he died and their was a rainbow afterwards. They are also playing his songs alot more in the shopping centres that I go to (they did the same thing when MJ and Bowie passed).

I haven't been on the Org much the past two weeks and I haven't clicked on any threads (in this forum especially) since everything happened. But, WOW am I ever so glad that THIS is the one thread that I actually decided to click on. There are so many beautiful comments here this is just amazing. There have been a few things that I have seen/experienced that I don't think I want to post right now. For those of you who are "old timer" Orgers you can Orgnote me maybe and we can talk that way but I don't want to post too much right here. But, what one thing that I will point out is this...So, when I got my Gmail accout five years ago, I never changed the color scheme. In fact, I've never once gone into the settings at all to even know how to do this. When I go to the page to sign into Gmail, the circle with the letter that's the "logo" above the place to enter my username has always, ALWAYS been red. I kid you not, the day after everything happened that SAME circle that I have seen as red for over five years that I have never changed the setting on was now purple. At first I thought perhaps it was a google tribute but two weeks later it's STILL purple and I hadn't changed the settings at all. I've signed into different computers since then and it still shows up as purple. There have been other things to but I don't want to post right now.

I'm about to move to a new house so I've spent weeks deciding what to keep and what to trash, send to charity shops etc. I have a big box of Prince stuff tucked away ( been collecting for 30 years!). So I decided all my Prince VHS video tapes ( maybe 10 or more) were no longer needed as I have them digitally and have no tape player anymore. Ive never got rid of Prince stuff ever! So I took them to the Heart Foundation charity shop and they thanked me very much. Next day the terrible news came. We are all connected somehow.

Wow, this is amazing...we truly ARE connected somehow.
