Watching these Youtube videos has kinda made me a lil sad. It's made me think about the fact that we will never hear his beautiful voice again As a kid I feel in love with Prince's voice first. His musicianship cant ever be beat, his charisma and stage presence were undoubtedly up there with the best if not the best, but his voice is what made me a fan. I have tears in my eyes just typing this How sad is that for such a beautiful voice to be silenced

I agree - I feel the same that his voice is silenced - but then I fell in love with the whole package pretty fast too !!!! Wooo Hoooo what a package it was

The total package was just amazing, but that voice was like no other. Just breaks my heart.

That was the primary thing I needed to most was to hear him talk, I didn't care about what I just needed the sound of his voice. Still do.

I agree, but it's him as an enigma that really makes this loss surreal. It hurts a lot. I still can't believe it and am finding myself incredibly depressed, and I see a therapist once a week. Since his passing, it's been all about him and how he has impacted my life. I've never met him or known him. It still hurts.

That is what is so amazing that a voice can touch you and u dont even know the person. That is a gift from above...I will truly miss him singing. Ive listened to D'Angelo in the past and u can hear the Prince influence when he sings. Ive listened to many artist over the years, but none of them touched me the way Prince did

What was weird was the need for physical closeness. I've never been technically physically close to this person but I needed the illusion of it or rather substitute for it for some reason. I didn't even bother trying to make sense out of that one.

I dont know how to describe it...just a need to hear his voice. I guess u can say its closeness. I just loved that the man could SANG!!!

I feel so isolated because if I mention anything about Prince my daughter who is the only person that lives with me says "I am weird" so now I feel I cannot even mention his name in my own home now.

I feel exactly the same way. I've learned that as a person I connect to people on a pretty deep level. Whether I've met them physically or not, it really does come from the soul with me. It took me a while to figure out why I care about things (and people) so much more than others. It used to be annoying, but I take pride in it now. Prince was one person who I cared for on that level. I truly loved him as a person, and as you said just need to hear him talk right now. I think that's why I've gravitated towards watching his interviews lately. Hearing him speak and interact on a human level, that's what I adore. Wish I had the chance to meet him. His presence would probably be overwhelming for me, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Now the tears are back

Thank goodness for the Org. Seriously. We get your weirdness.


I'm evil, I'd blast his music non-stop, every minute I was in the house. But that's me. I think my kids have some self-preservation themselves, they know to just nod and go along with it, then peace shall reign.

Yes the Org has been a big help to many of us. My daughter is 28 and so we get home from work at the same time etc and then there is dinner etc, so the only private time I have is when I go to bed etc. She was watching a show the other night and I was bored with it so went to my iPad to read the Org and she says "you reading about Prince again on the Org again? Haven't you had enough yet?" I understand she is annoyed but it is making me feel even more isolated in a strange way. It is frustrating but I hate being made to feel guilty or like a freak because I am sad.

i also have been watching every interview i can find. his voice and his brain..man that brain was always working. the voice gets me the most, though. i need to hear it and yet to this day, i can't listen to him sing a complete song. it makes me ill with grief. it was two years before i could listen to mj and my feelings and connection were about 1/1000th of prince. gonna be a while more for the music.....

With MJ it took me a while to play his songs, but I was always more on the purple side so not ever hearing Prince sing again is so hurtful to me...it just makes me sad.

I was watching some stuff on utube the past couple of nights, the 2004 stuff, I followed him across the states that year. As I'm watching him do his thing, that macking from the stage, talking and his jokes seeing him smile etc. it hit me hard. Like you said nurse never to be heard from again. NObody was remotely close to Prince. What he did with that acoustic guitar part of the shows, each one was different in each city. Prince was a real gift. That man LOVED what he did and the blessing was that he shared it us. The org and various groups on facebook have helped me, because family don't get it because they thing since you didn't "know" him somehow the fact that he is not here shouldn't hurt this bad....month later. Bullshit, I LOVED Prince. Hell the first thing someone who hasn't seen me in a while will say is "you like Prince or still into" Yes still am. The first 3 weeks I hardly ate, and when I was home, straight to my room and closed the door. I know they question me behind my back like is she ok, but I don't care at this point. I miss his voice too....still.

Have a mother and daughter day out or do something to let her know you love the heck out of her, then come home and blast Prince as loud as you want to.

I get your feelings though, this is NOT something I talk about in regular company.

Im glad the org has been here...its helped me too. Seems that non Prince fans dont understand. The people at my job were like youre still looking at Prince pics they dont know me very well n dont understand

it totally breaks my heart, but its worse to hear it right now than not hear it. maybe that will change. sucks.

You know seriously this whole thing breaks my heart...I dont like the way this has played out. It feels unfair to Prince.

It's been one shock after another. It's all very surreal 2 me. Twilight Zone.

I know...I mean will we ever get answers to his death? I truly believe thats why its been so hard for some of us...no closure...just sad. Just woke up one day and he was gone.
