PrintableIn Violet The Organ Grinder, the last words in the chorus are "I'll die but I won't go away." I know this song is suppose to be dirty but I would like to think that he was talking about himself. Yes his body is no longer here but he hasn't gone away because we still have his music and stuff [Edited 5/11/16 16:43pm] Forever In My Life, forever in my heart. I love you Prince Rogers Nelson  | |

right! and interesting that the organ is obviously His "pianist" but the organ is also related to the piano, his main focus lately. "i live for the organ that i am grinding" man, now i wonder if its related to darling nikki, vanity. flowing through the veins of the tree of life...purplemaplesyrup | |

Hmmmm... Now that his doctor is being investigated over his death even more of the Let's Go Crazy lyrics seem significant now!

Prince played two shows as a dress rehearsal for the Piano & A Microphone Tour organized as a gala at Paisley Park on January 21, 2016, three months to the day he died with the nature of the show and music as being introspective, autobiographical and intimiate. Almost to the point of being the most vulnerable he allowed his fans to see him. Prince played 20 shows in this format and listening to the bootlegs of these shows is very illuminating. 3121 #1 THIS YEAR | |

i was wondering what daffodils refers to flowing through the veins of the tree of life...purplemaplesyrup | |

Because daffodils in Mn. only bloom for a short while in the spring? Eventually every cloud runs out of rain. | |

^ He's probably referring to temporary pleasures which seem appealing but aren't good for the soul?! [Edited 5/11/16 20:38pm] | |

I agree some of the things that has happened are strange, but after reading some of these comments, I think most are just reaching. This thing has turned into a rorschach blot for fans. I guess any lyric can mean anything if you force it a certain way | |

aw man, as in, april? Whoa! Great read. I just googled daffodils symbolism: Symbolized with rebirth and new beginnings the daffodil is virtually synonymous with spring. The botanic name is NARCISSISUS (you know the Greek god that liked to look at himself/ how do you look at yourself, with a VANITY mirror of course!) the myth goes, that NARCISSIsus Liked to look at himself a lot and one day while looking in a pool he fell in and drown-from his grave a single daffodil grew Sidenote, if he did die of opioid overdose, typically what happens is your respiratory system shuts down, and it's much like drowning- in a sea of tranquility, it's actually a rather peaceful way to go) Another site says the daffodil is given to someone to show you not only admire them but that they are the one. The Chinese see it as a symbol of good fortune and wealth, it is the symbol for cancer research. I know people are trying to say reading into all this is stupid or a stretch but the world is made by poets and musicians- there is some poem or saying about it I can't remember. Prince may not have known exactly What he was doing at the time but if anyone has seen the Secret and believes we create our world as we dream it, his songs and art may have been self fulfilling prophecy that only makes sense once the story is complete.

Ah found the poem:
Ode by Arther O'Shaughnessy (first poem of his collection Music and Moonlight) We are the music makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams, Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;- World losers and world forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams: Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world forever, it seems... Check out the whole collection... Pretty interesting: https://en.m.wikisource.o...aughnessy) [Edited 5/12/16 14:07pm] The last lines are: Yea in spite of a dreamer who slumbers, And a singer who sings no more [Edited 5/13/16 8:38am] Surprise, surprise.

Talking of strange symmetries, I just read an interesting article in the UK's Fortean Times about 'Star Whackers', highlighting a possible conspiracy around the high amount of celebrity deaths in Hollywood. It's amazing how many died at a young age supposedly due to 'prescription medicines'. I'm not sure if I believe it or not but it does make the point that many people such as Michael Jackson are worth much more dead than alive, possibly indicating a motive.

It's not surprising that there are a lot of Hollywood deaths. The shock should be how many deaths total, celebrity or not. Positive spin I would love to believe the actual conspiracy is they are faking their deaths to sell more on but the trade off to make it legal is spinning it this way- to sell awareness to a problem that is destroying our country. Surprise, surprise.

^ Yes good point too.
Another strange symmetry - In the liner notes of Around The World In A Day there is a picture of a rainbow on the page with the Paisley Park lyrics. Apparently the album was released on April 21,1985 31 years later! Oddly on the day of Prince's death, a rainbow appeared over the Paisley Park building going in exactly the same direction as pictured in the liner notes! Link to the pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/...1527337555 Update: It was probably more likely that ATWIAD was released on Apr 22 as it was a Monday. [Edited 5/15/16 1:49am] | |

yeah i wonder if these songs that he sang so many thousands of times had in any way shaped future circumstances, or if its just that, having his prophetic 3rd eye open, he would see the future at least in flashes and weave those in2 his songs. PURplEMaPLeSyrup said:
thanks 4 the daffodil symbolism info! I firmly believe he was extremely tuned in and that was maybe why he struggled with certain things. One day I'll write it all out but it's kinda crazy. I'll pass it off as fiction.  Surprise, surprise.
