Oh! NOW I see what your aim is on this thread! Making it about Vanity again!
Any chance I get.
Oh! NOW I see what your aim is on this thread! Making it about Vanity again!
Back to our boy Scottie. He's on twitter right now..retweeting this Baron3121 guy's tweets about Prince giving crap to bad sound engineers and telling them how to fix the sound while on stage.. and Scottie is answering questions. There are some interesting factoids. But what is also abundantly clear is that Scottie thinks (and is being told) that he is a better engineer than pretty much anyone who ever worked for Prince. LOL. I do recall him giving P some sh!t for calling out engineers (saying it was unprofessional and uncomfortable--which is not totally wrong) but now he is somewhat blaming the engineers and reminding everyone that P would call HIM immediately after tours or shows with bad sound...LOL. He is a bit of a hypocrite about that kind of thing. About a month ago, someone asked him on Twitter who John was (an engineer who Prince called out by his first name for bad sound). Instead of saying "I don't want to call out another sound engineer", he answered with the guy's last name. Dude is something.
Or a musician who had not been wearing ear protection for 30 years might have been on the road to hearing loss.
Are you being serious? We're talking about someone who had an almost pathological fear of coming across as genuinely vulnerable in their music. Look at the erasing of the first version of Wally.That's what I was thinking, too. But we really don't know. I also thought maybe he didn't want AA to hear it since he talked a lot about Denise. lol. Or maybe he just felt the sound or show wasn't good enough.
Brothers just do not do vulnerable. I also think Wally probably sucked ass.Are you being serious? We're talking about someone who had an almost pathological fear of coming across as genuinely vulnerable in their music. Look at the erasing of the first version of Wally.
It's why Way Back Home shocked the hell out of me when I first heard it. It seemed heartfelt in an extremely resonant way - very much a Prince I hadn't really heard before. I really hoped for an album where Prince allowed himself to be similarly open throughout.
He was jealous and greedy which is stupid because he stopped being a musician in the early 90s. Another failure at the game being pissed at someone successfulI think Scottie more than likely, has a tiny penis.
Contrary to what prince.org says, you are right. Prince was lyrically cryptic sometimes but he showed vulnerability all the time.Prince expressed emotional vulnerability to varying degrees in loads of his songs.
....Brothers just do not do vulnerable. I also think Wally probably sucked ass.
It was written for the film. Prince said that in the Ebony article....
Well fortunately he didn't erase The Beautiful Ones... for example.

He said it was written for Vanity, as she had left the film. So your correction is meant to convey that his music is robotic, unemotional, and invulnerable? Remind me why you are a fan?
....What the fµck are you going on about? The song was written for the movie and Vanity was going to play a part in the film. He said this shut Susannah down who kept saying the song was about her. I am not sure what any of this has to do with being robotic, unemotional, and invulnerable? He was playing a part in a movie.
Let me school you if a black man in America walks around with his heart on his sleeve he will be eaten alive. I am sure he was not raised to be vulnerable and I am sure he also wanted to keep a private life.
Remember other people were telling the press about Prince's personal relationships he kept his mouth closed because it was none of our business.
.....You've posted mainly cliched lyrics there.
My point still stands. Hence why Way Back Home stood out in terms of resonance.
....Don't be a dick. You're not the arbiter of who can respond and who can't.

'The movie' was about his relationship with Vanity -- she left in the end, and he wrote "The beautiful ones you always seem to lose; U were so hard to find, The beautiful ones, they hurt you everytime"
Here's a bit of education... a few snippets.
"Yeah, he's one of America's greatest poets."

His 1st song on his 1st album was a complex a cappella layering of all his own vocals:
For You
All of this and more is for you
With love, sincerity and deepest care
My life with you I share
For You - YouTube
When Doves Cry
Touch if you will my stomach
Feel how it trembles inside
You've got the butterflies all tied up
Don't make me chase you
Even doves have pride
How can you just leave me standing?
Alone in a world so cold? (World so cold)
Maybe I'm just too demanding
Maybe I'm just like my father too bold
Maybe you're just like my mother
She's never satisfied (She's never satisfied)
Why do we scream at each other
This is what it sounds like
When doves cry
Nothing Compares 2 U
It's been 7 hours and 13 days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away
It's been so lonely without u here
I'm like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop this lonely rain from falling
Tell me baby, where did I go wrong?
Girl
Love this one... a Prince & Morris duet; beautiful
The Time - Girl - The Time - YouTube
Girl, I called you up to say,
That I'm havin' trouble sleepin' ever since you went away.
Girl, I know you need a little time,
To get your head together. But baby, I can't stop cryin'.
Girl, why'd you go away?
What can I say to make you stay?
Girl, I was a fool.
I don't know what to do.
I'm still in love with you.
The Cross
Black day, stormy night
No love, no hope in sight
Don't cry, he is coming
Don't die without knowing the cross
Ghettos 2 the left of us
Flowers 2 the right
There'll be bread 4 all of us
If we can just bear the cross
Sweet song of salvation
A pregnant mother sings
She lives in starvation
Her children need all that she brings
We all have our problems
Some BIG, some are small
Soon all of our problems
Will be taken by the cross
Purple Rain
I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted one time to see you laughing
I only want to see you laughing
In the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend, hey
Baby, I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end
Still Waiting
All my friends tell me
About the loves they've had
Can't they see what they're doing to me?
It makes me feel so bad
'Cause I'm so alone
And brokenhearted
It ain't like my life is ended
But more like it never started
The love my friends rap about I keep anticipating
I try so hard but don't you know, my patience is fading away, away
Still waiting
I'm waiting for that love
Still waiting
I wish on every star above
Still waiting
Waiting for the love to come around
Oh, love
Waiting for the love to come around
People say that I'm too young
Too young to fall in love
But they don't know, they really don't know
That's all that I've been dreaming of
'Cause I spend my nights just a-crying
And I spend my days just a-trying
To find that love to call my own
'Cause I'm sick and tired of being alone
Still waiting
Waiting for that love
Still waiting
I wish on every star above
Still waiting
I'm waiting for the love to come around
(Waiting for the love) don't you know that I'm waiting
(Waiting for the love) say
(Waiting for the love) to come around now
I need somebody to hold on to baby
Waiting and waiting, don't you know that I'm
Still waiting
I'm waiting for the love, sugar

Don't make me cry no more

If you're out there, baby, please come to me

For this world to stop hating
When We're Dancing Close and Slow
When we're dancing close and slow
I never want to let you go, no, no
I feel your warm embrace
The softness of your face
Tell me, baby, are we here alone?
When we're kissing long and hard
I can almost taste the thoughts within your mind
xes-related fantasy is all that my mind can see
Baby, that's honestly the way I feel
When we're dancing close and slow
I'm not afraid to let my feelings show
I want to come inside of you
I want to hold you when we're through
Can't you feel my love touching you?
Gotta Broken Heart Again
Ah, yeah
It doesn't matter what I do
I can't stop, ah, thinking about you
The little things you said
The things you do to me in bed
Oh baby, I can't get you outta my head
Oh, oh, gotta broken heart again, yeah
This time it's serious
It feels just like the end
'Cause once your love has gone away
There ain't nothing, nothing left to say

Somewhere Here on Earth
I know you're out there
I can feel your eyes on me
Seen that face a thousand times
If only in my dreams
I know you really want me
I can feel your hands on me
I really wanna touch you too
In a way I'm much too shy to speak

Nobody ever said the relationship in the film was about him and Vanity. In fact Prince has said the movie was a work of fiction.
In fact quite a few people have said WDC was about Susan Moonise.
These are lyrics not Prince on some talk show or in People spilling his cuts.
....
Actually Prince said the film was about what he was going through in his life at the time... one of those things being his relationship with Vanity -- she was to be his girlfriend and co-star in the film, not Susan Moonsie. And of course liar/thief Apples was hired to be Vanity's stand-in after she left the film. I hope Apples is paying you well.
....
And you are whom exactly?
....Lmao, yeah and 2/3 of the lyrics you posted were written well before or well after he ever met her. What an airtight argument.

Being is that he was sad it was probably not a good show. I though you said he had AIDSRe: hearing loss. I agree that many rock/pop musicians have sustained hearing loss. I like to watch Dan Rather interviewing well-known musicians on AXS TV; many are wearing hearing aids. Prince played music more than most and he liked it loud.
He likely had hearing loss. Hell, after my teenage years rocking to loud music, I have hearing loss in my left ear.
I vote w/the posters who felt Prince wanted that show erased as it was too vulnerable.

You have zero credibility here as a medical professional. First, you said that the wasting look he had only come from AIDS knowing full well that people can have a wasting look when being ill from organ failure or cancer. You also fail to realize that if he was taking so many pills as the narrative would have us believe his organs would have been damaged.You can have both. They are not mutually exclusive.

Once again taking things out of context. This was my response to people on this board repeating Susan Rogers nonsense about Prince’s fear of vulnerability."Let me school you if a black man in America walks around with his heart on his sleeve he will be eaten alive." - @Laurarichardson
Not sure what this has to do with Prince's lyrics... either the few that I've posted or his thousands of others.
Apples has not stole anything but you keep saying that and click your heels 3 times.....
Actually Prince said the film was about what he was going through in his life at the time... one of those things being his relationship with Vanity -- she was to be his girlfriend and co-star in the film, not Susan Moonsie. And of course liar/thief Apples was hired to be Vanity's stand-in after she left the film. I hope Apples is paying you well.
What fµck are you babbling about. He said in the article he wrote the song fir the film. He did not mention Vanity at all in that article and the rest is your comments not mind. That is what you think. You do realize that Prince was writing songs to sell to the public?....
He said it was written for Vanity, as she had left the film. So your correction is meant to convey that his music is robotic, unemotional, and invulnerable? Remind me why you are a fan?

He did mention her. Which I think you know that, and you're just looking to argue with someone who has called you out on something. That article and its details have been discussed countless times here on this forum.
Are we talking about the miles Lewis interview that was taken down the next day??Yes, he MOST CERTAINLY DID mention Vanity/Denise. I think @Laurarichardson must've skipped over the section where he mentioned her.
One more time for The Beautiful Ones he was explaining that the song was written for the movie and could not have been written about old Sue.He did mention her. Which I think you know that, and you're just looking to argue with someone who has called you out on something. That article and its details have been discussed countless times here on this forum.
