Rainbows Over Paisley Park / 3121

So, dig this:

If you open the gatefold of the "Around the World in a Day" album, you will see a rainbow over the song "Paisley Park." ATWIAD was released 4/21/85.

Exactly 31 years later, on the 21st day of April (3121), Prince dies, and a rainbow appears over Paisley Park.

How wild is that?

The visual makes it even better, but I'll never figure out how to post pictures in here. So, you'll have to google the images yo damn self. lol

It's amazing what little numerical oddities you can find if you look hard enough.

Just like the bible code.

How is April 21 the same as 3121? (It's not, ya know.)

.

But I am sure everyone will be finding numbers and coincidences for years to come. Makes it interesting, but means little in the end. sad

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

They didn't say that. They said he died 31 years later on the 21st, it still doesn't make sense, but that's were they pulled the 31 from.

RIP sad

You did a pretty good job of explaining it, even though it didn't make sense. lol So, thank you.

Yes, just neat that the numbers 31 and 21 feature prominently there. From 4/21/85 to 4/21/16 is 31 years. And the rainbow over Paisley on both 4/21s is striking.

AHHH, I didn't make that connection, actually. Got it.

I believe Prince was responsible for that rainbow. A message to fans saying hey, I am ok, and, you will be ok.

I mean how often does a rainbow appear directly over Paisley? I would speculate probably not often.

It could be coincidence, but then I think it is still great.

I compared the Around the world in a day gatafold and the photo's. In the front there is also a resemblence, 2 small hills. Also trees. The only thing that is missing is Paisley Park itself.

Which was build in 1985 I think.

That's not all. 21 April 1985 was also the day he recorded 'Sometimes it Snows in April', a song about him dying. 31 years ago on the 21st of the very same month.

The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!

If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days...

Right... Even the lyrics to 3131: You can come if you want to, but you can never leave.

Haunting! In a good way.

And yes, that rainbow felt like a beautiful message. Whether you see it as a coincidence or more, still can mean something to you. I loved it...
