Yeah, Lovesexy used to make me really happy and hopeful that there was something bigger to live for than the everyday grind...I guess it was because the feeling was in the music and the lyrics were abstract enough that you could read your own bliss into 'em to a certain extent. It's definitely one of the deeper "good mood discs" in my music collection... Nice one. | |

I relied on myself, friends; good and bad experiences and being open to different cultures and people. that mix and a healthy attitude of questioning everything will get you a lot further then "theocratic order".

Alice in Wonderland just doesn't work for me Well TRC has a lot of good messages in it. I think a positive message is soo rare in music these days that TRC is a very refreshing album. LISTEN CLOSLEY You might LEARN something | |

 NAHHH! It did make me wonder if Prince was going to continue with this kind of music. | |

I don't believe all of Prince's religious views, but I'd be fibbing if I said that TRC hasn't made me think about finding my own spirituality and beliefs. Toejam @ Peach & Black Podcast: http://peachandblack.podbean.com

No, after 9/11, I was already there. Last December, though, did bring to mind a special family member, which is why I dug that song. | |

For the past few years I've been searching for a deeper meaning in life, so I guess it was already there when TRC came out. TRC did give me a more deeper look at life's greater purpose I suppose. Especially Last December. How can one not connect or at least think about the spiritual aspect of life after listening to such a meaningful, beautiful song. Such a terrific album.   | |

Not at all. "Eye No" had more life, heart, faith and spirituality than TRC in its entirety.
The music, however, was amazing. Loved the music. But I listen to that album rarely, if ever. I don't even know the track listing. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

No. I think about spirituality a lot, so it "reminded" me of those things so to speak. It makes me pretty happy when I listen to it... it made me realize that Prince really is in a different place (musical comeback, personal shift) - good or bad, temporary or permanent, I'm cool w/ it...    I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

no, it didn't make me think about life and a greater purpose.
unfortunately the lyrical content on TRC contradicts what i think about life and a greater purpose love the music though | |

I'm with the majority who blocked out the religious stuff so as 2 enjoy TRC, whereas I found the spiritual stuff in LS inspiring. Is this because of the albums or because of my age (I was 17 in'88)? "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

kisscamille said: I can never say enough about TRC. It is an amazing cd. The music is pure genius and his voice is enough to melt anyones heart. I do not like some of the religious lyrics, but other than that, TRC is a masterpiece. To answer the the original question, NO, it did not make me think about a greater purpose. However, it did remind me of Princes' musical genius.
good answer, I agree with this. | |

Has it made anyone else think about that? It made me think about how ARROGANT Prince can be! **************************************************
