Yeah and we also can't 4get what Chris Allo said as well a while back. [Edited 10/14/17 10:08am]

I love this song.

I love this Album.

This song is not about someone but some "thing."

The Breakdown is the "illness" P was suffering from at the end of his life.

This illness is Breaking him down.

P is reminiscing about things he thought was important in life...having the biggest house with the biggest pool, and instead he wants the time back and we can keep the memories.

"Every book I read said I would met someone like you" (the illness).

There is a door where there use to be a wall.

As long as you (his Creator) catches P when he falls "it's cool"

I have the same thoughts ............

There was definitely something ailing him

and he knew he was being defeated

It kind of reminds me of this song Prince loved and asked Martika if he could cover. She wrote it and in 1990, initial tracking by Prince was done at PP.
A note: the only change in lyrics was that he added the words, "Oh, Lord", and "glory".

Prince

Love... Thy Will Be Done
Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
No longer can I resist Your guiding light
That gives me the power 2 keep up the fight

Oh Lord, Love... Thy will be done
Since I have found U, my life has just begun
And I see all of Your creations as one perfect complex
No one less beautiful or more special than the next
We are all blessed and so wise 2 accept
Thy will, Love, be done

Love... Thy will be mine
And make me strive 4 the glorious and devine
I could not be more, more satisfied (Satisfied)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there's peace inside
And that why I no longer run (I no longer run)
Love... Thy will be done

CHORUS:
Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh Love... Thy will be done
Thy will, Love, be done

Oh, no longer can I resist (No)
The guiding light (Guiding light)
The light that gives me power 2 keep up the fight
I couldn't be more satisfied (No)
Even when there's no peace outside my window, there is peace inside
And that's why I can no longer run
Love, thy will be done {x3}
Oh!

CHORUS

Oh Love... Thy will be done
I can no longer hide, I can no longer run
Oh Love... Thy will be done (Sing it)
Thy will, Love, be done (Glory, glory, glory)
Thy will, Love, be done (Glory)
Thy will, Love, be done

What did he say?

He did a livestream around New Year's Day back in January, he was running Andy's Facebook page while she was away on a retreat. Someone asked him if he had a favorite Prince song to which he replied with "all of the songs he and his sister did together". He proceeded to say that he felt he should share something with everyone and that Andy might kill him for it, but he believes that "one song in particular from Art Official Age is about someone who we all know and love" he named it to be Breakdown. I found that interesting.

sharpieheartz	Plot twist: Breakdown is about Majesty and Divinity. He wrote it for them and it's about how he always knew that he'd have doves who would catch him when he fell. They were always there for him.

Speaking of Andy, she said many times if she was going to miss Music Monday she would let people know, but this week no MM and no heads up.
She posted later saying she'd make it up to us later this week, she promised, but the week's over, and nothing happened.
Hope everything's ok.

Prince never met anyone who was totally dependable in word, action and deed, and also had the other things he was attracted to. TRUTH.

Yeah I know.Looks like she was shooting a fashion editorial that day.I was surprised she didn't at least post before hand.Maybe she'll do something today,we'll see.She's been very quiet lately on social media and she seems to be very busy,maybe something came up.There's a guy spamming her FB with posts saying he's in love with her.Maybe he scared her away lol

Well maybe Chris knows something we don't...who knows? Someone asked Andy to sing it on MM once and she either didn't see the request or she ignored it.I doubt she would sing one of his songs that he didn't give her permission to cover though.She said that herself on a MM.I missed the MM Chris did as I was in the hospital at the time.

Something huge must have come up, because if fans are promised something, that should be stuck to. i think this is the 2nd time it's happens so I'm putting the suggestion out there for Chris or whoever reads these posts, lol.
Hope she isn't sick or something though.

Haven't seen him posting on her FB either lately.I agree she shouldn't have made a promise if she wasn't sure she could stick to it.She posted a video of one of her performances from her recent show at The Mint the other night but nothing else after that.I think the other times she's missed MM or was late she's given a heads up. I remember last month she got tied up with auditions and did a Q&A in place of MM while driving home,then sang the next day so it's not like her to not follow up,I agree.

When she promises to do a certain song the next week that should be stuck to too. All I'm saying is Prince never had a woman who was impeccable with her word.

It's not that Andy isn't. And I don't think we should compare her to the others but she is a busy young woman. She does keep promises and if she doesn't make up for last MM, she will do extra songs tomorrow I'm sure. This has happened once before.

Yes,I've noticed she hasn't kept her word to do certain songs as well but she may have just forgotten.I'm not sure he never had a woman like that.He seemed to have some good women around him at times.

Of course she isn't. It's happened twice. Which is why I bring it up. Keeping promises to your fan base is really important. I say this to be helpful only. Just a suggestion.
Maybe something serious is going on.
Or maybe she just wants to be mysterious and see who will notice her absence.
Who are "the others"?

Yeah she's got a lot on her plate.She hasn't tweeted in a few days either so she's probably just got a lot going on and hasn't been online much.

If I make a promise, forgetting about it means I'm not someone who keeps promises. How much clearer can it be?
lol

Just making a point here, in fun.

Yeah she's got a lot on her plate.

Well, maybe she needed some time off. Everyone gets a pass now and then.
Guess I just miss Prince's dependability. cry

Well even Prince was known to keep fans waiting at times.He was 45 minutes late for the show I attended but he made it up to us by his amazing performance.He also had a few slip ups with websites from time to time but he was human and it happens.Andy's usually pretty good at keeping her word and she'll probably make up for it like sharpieheartz said.
