I could wax lyrical with beautifully written couplets regarding the power, majesty and meaning of this song, but I'll refrain at this time.
All I will say is that anyone who has ever felt what this song is implying would not have to ask for an explanation.

Okay...

Power Fantastic attempts to personify loneliness as a cold wind which can burn out a person's internal flame.

Finding a connection with a higher power is sometime all a genius has to maintain their connections with the common denominator reality which is perceived by the masses.

The song reaches out to 'normal' people who find it difficult (and even frightening) to question the meaning of their existance.

This is Prince saying: "I'm alone here on Earth but I acknowledge the existence of God. No-one can understand me but the being who created me."

It's no coincidence that Prince wrote the lyrics to this song following his prolonged and agonising break-up with Susannah.

Lovesexy was just around the corner...

I don't know what you define as 'trying too hard' rd, but if you look at the post times you would see I wrote it very much on the cuff in about three minutes.
You seem very defensive while I have nothing to prove.
I also don't criticise your posts or the effort which may have went into your sentence construction/witty wordplay/pretentious poppycock.
Dude, live and let live. Stop getting so worked up. If you've got nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all.
I reached out with an olive branch, rd, but you just set fire to it.

I dig you man, but we do seem to have gotten our wires crossed somewhere along the line. The whole 23 is Ice9 thang didn't help matters either.

I could wax lyrical with beautifully written couplets regarding the power, majesty and meaning of this song, but I'll refrain at this time.
All I will say is that anyone who has ever felt what this song is implying would not have to ask for an explanation.


OK... but what does it mean?


Okay...

Power Fantastic attempts to personify loneliness as a cold wind which can burn out a person's internal flame.

Finding a connection with a higher power is sometime all a genius has to maintain their connections with the common denominator reality which is perceived by the masses.

The song reaches out to 'normal' people who find it difficult (and even frightening) to question the meaning of their existance.

This is Prince saying: "I'm alone here on Earth but I acknowledge the existence of God. No-one can understand me but the being who created me."

It's no coincidence that Prince wrote the lyrics to this song following his prolonged and agonising break-up with Susannah.

Lovesexy was just around the corner...

I don't know what you define as 'trying too hard' rd, but if you look at the post times you would see I wrote it very much on the cuff in about three minutes.
You seem very defensive while I have nothing to prove.
I also don't criticise your posts or the effort which may have went into your sentence construction/witty wordplay/pretentious poppycock.
Dude, live and let live. Stop getting so worked up. If you've got nothing nice to say, then say nothing at all.
I reached out with an olive branch, rd, but you just set fire to it.

We cant playfully headbut with the try to hard saying backn forth? remember? Yes 23..your retort was very nice...I cant win!



Rd, I fully understood your body slam reference and I also believed we were playfully headbutting in this post until you began calling me a try-hard.
I dig you man, but we do seem to have gotten our wires crossed somewhere along the line. The whole 23 is Ice9 thang didn't help matters either.

I had suspicions you were attempting to playfully rile me with the 'I taught you everything you know' comment, but I was just about to describe you as having a monumental ego riddled with gaping wounds of insecurity...but now I won't. wink


dont fuck with my ego~ (I knew insecurities words would end up here lol--I swear on my cats life)

hey watch out where u are stepping..my ego is on that stand and its fragile! Do NOT pick up the ego itme..ASK if u want to know th e price..do not touch!--my ego..it's fragile!

Hey, Danny. Doesn't Prince believe sex is a way of worshipping God?
