    U Make My Sun Shine / When Will We B Paid?

    page 7:

    Glad to finally have the chance to say thank you, Prince. As a teenager growing up in an unstable household coupled with the loss of my mom at an early age, your music was the only thing that gave me joy. After an eighteen year waiting period, I was elated to "meet" you for the first time in Phoenix. Please come back, we miss you.
    Your friend always,
    Carolyn
    These cuts are da' bomb!! they were more than worth the time figuring out the 'follow the sun' Easter egg hunt. P, keep it up, cuz there's something burnin' behind these jams!!

    Great tunes, Angie Stone sounds hungry and U guys mesh really well. When will we be paid.... sounds great as well, I Xperienced that live, and unlike most songs that lose a little something when put on manmademachines, that guitar solo still hit me the same way it did live. Good work "ole head". Speaking of live performances I hope U never lose sight of the work of the "Artist". I am saying that because I also think there is compilation of "greatest hits" during that time frame. For instance, somewhere during the Hit'N'Run I could just c U performing Into the Light with Najee. That song is a true gem, as R a lot of tunes from that era. I think I speak 4 all true fams when I say that U could probably pull of a release compilation of songs from the last decade that were not released as a single and probably have a great album.
    Keep up the good work!!

    Prince and the NPG crew,

    I feel like I have been blessed. The new singles are the breath of fresh air that I have been waiting for. I feel that the music is getting back to the Prince vibe that everyone around the world loved. The best thing that could happen this year is for WWWBP to be released, then we could prove to the uneducated that Prince is not forgotten and that he can still produce musical masterpieces. I have loved your music since 1986 (when I was 7 years old) and I admire everything you do, keep giving us the bliss !

    Scotland P.S. When r u bringing your funky ass to Scotland again ? there are a lot of people missing you !

    the ? of payment, a good one that really needs 2 B adressed. As an African Amercian, My american experience tells me that money should be placed where the words come from, and that lip service and hollow apologies r just that, hollow.
    Continue to speak the truth my brotha.
    yours in Christ

    Prince, your music is the best. Anything you put out, I'm more than happy to take. You've covered every mood I could possibly be in, and the sounds sooth my soul. Even through Navy boot camp, I've found myself singing your tunes with a smile on my face, making some tough days better. Thank you for some great music. The room ain't getting no brighter, but you get used to the dark. =O)

    I've been a fan of yours since I was 14; I'm now 30.
    Needless to say I've enjoyed your music for years.
    My roots are from the church,and listening to your new single with Ms. Angie Stone has made for the most beautiful collabaration of voices ever.
    As I venture into my own singing career,I would be honored to do a duet with you.

    With all these joints : Why should I do that...., Cybersingle, Radical Man, When will we B paid?, Daisy Chain and more, we're eagerly to hear more and more....

    What about a new album for example huh? :-)

    Thanx for the appetizer, we're now ready for the main dish.

    Don't you?

    All I have 2 say is that NPG has prooven that the best things in life do come 4 free. Thank u, thank u, thank u.......
    Much Love,
    Honey,
    to the naysayers:

    "how beautiful do the words have to be
    before they conquer every heart"....??

    I'd like to start out by thanking Prince & The NPG for the two songs and covers download. Thanks!

    What should Prince do next? Well, I think more downloads would be nice. I, and many others, would like a NEW album of very cool experimental music. No hits and Top 40 junk just good Prince music. A vault album to follow up "Crystal Ball" would be much appreciated. Oh yeah, what about "Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic"? Will this ever see the light of day? Finally, a world tour to promote a NEW album would be way cool. No 'hits' show, just a few of the hits, but a fresh new approach to the traditional concert with fresh NEW music to blow away all naysayers. Something to show that Prince IS still the artist and excellent musician we've all grown to love over these many years.

    So, thanks for all of the wonderful music and keep on keepin' on. What ever he decides to do next, I'll be eagerly awaiting. Peace, John W. Sullivan

    PEOPLE!!!
    BECUZ OF THE TIME WHICH THIS SONG COMES 2 US. IT IS CLEAR. ONCE THIS TOPIC ONLY APPLIED 2 THE AMERICANS OF BEAUTY,BUT NOW UNDER THE WAY OF THE WORLD IT NOW APPLIES TO ALL THE BEAUTIFUL ONES.

    THERE IS A SOUL 2 THIS WONDERFUL SONG. PRINCE DRIVES THE MESSAGE OF PAIN THAT MANY HAVE DIED 4.BOTH BLACK & WHITE.

    BUT LETS GO DEEP,
    MAYBE THIS IS NOT A SONG ABOUT PEOPLE?
    BUT THE VERY WORK THAT "GOD" HAS DONE IN ALL OF OUR LIVES? WHEN WILL OUR COMMUNITIES RETURN TO HAVING "GOD" AT THE MIDDLE.
    2ME "GOD" IS NOT IN FREEDOM,BUT A SLAVE WHOS WORK IS BEING SOLD. PRINCE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!!!!!
    P.S.D'ANGELO AND OTHERS...PRINCE ALREADY TOLD US ...AT THE TOP IS JUST A DREAM...IT WILL SAVE UR FACE BUT IT WONT SAVE UR SOUL!!!
    PEACE ROB MANASSAS,VA

    2 P & the NPG...
    I`m gonna try to make it short, so: THANX for your openminded view of distributing music...real music; because that`s what these two joints are: REAL music, I love them.
    Important: Take a look at a radio station in Berlin called RADIO EINS. They play your music EVERY DAY (at some days even several times), everything from the beginning untill now. I`m sure they`d promote joints like these if you contacted them. Unfortunately we don`t see and hear much of you in Europe, so give it a try. Looking much forward 2 the world tour...

    HEAD

    NPG, thanx for the new jointz. They are way cool and I am really diggin them. Keep bringin' the funk!!!! I hope to see you guys again in St. Louis.

    Peace & Love

    my ultimate online musical npg xperience would 1st, have 2 b 1 that i would b involved w/, internally. there could b no better way. i would love the opportunity 2 "give back" 2 the 1 who has managed 2 provide a soundtrak to my life. it would b heaven 2 assist in teaching another generation how 2 protect their art, & still get it 2 the public, & learn from a talent so BAD that he could only b called "the artist." i'm currently in a position much like the 1 prince found himself in w/ his record co. a few yrs. ago. i feel u, & i celebrate any-1 ballzy enuff 2 b an individual. mayb it's the gemini in me, i don't no, but "i've seen the future & it will b."

    for 22 yrs. (i'm only 27) i've prided myself on my ability 2 collect prince's music on album, 45, cassette, cd, & now working on dvd. i look at this online method as a new form. better yet, it's coming straight from prince. u have no idea how impressive that sounds when u say it out loud 2 some 1. it also beats the thieves at their own game. i love it. waiting 4 the next adventure.

    forever u'rs

    Thank U for the free Mp3's! I felt that "Paid" was something special when I heard it for the first time at CSU in Cleveland Nov. 12th. It really touched me.... Much Love,Peace,Positivity and God's Influence to you.Stay strong....stay being you.

    Rachel Rawles Cleveland Ohio

    Thank you for your music it evoked this in me;

    Pillar compared to many pebbles, sometimes I pity the epitome of lost souls.
    Drenched in the anguish of many dreams, heard on a guitar with no strings.
    I am just a rivulet, flowing in an unearthly stream but I can hear his symphony of dreams.
    First Movement.
    Like a thunderous wave rising but not falling...gathering momentum,
    CRESCENDOING.
    Second Movement.
    Subsiding in his mind only.
    Third Movement.
    A mere echo to me...a mere echo to ... a mere echo... a mirror episode of me.
    When will this thunderous sound cease?
    A MILLION AFRICAN DRUMMERS POUNDING ONE DREAM.
    One drum pounding and expounding a million dreams.
    To me it is a dream. To the icon it is a nightmarish scream. Echoing in the hurt of centuries, of the same screams.
    Washing into the seas.
    Falling in the rain.
    Disseminating down to me, a mere rivulet, in the consciousness of the Eternal Stream.
    Dying to a whisper...whispering... whispering...
    Free my creativity and then you will see,
    Raindrops on the lake,
    Almost warm until they crash,
    Into the tears of the Earth.
    Thousands upon thousands of days of sadnesses intertwine into one.
    A GIANT SEA OF GUILT washed away by another wave of HOPE.

    Matthew E'shilu Idawild , Canada.

    Thank you from my entire soul. I’ve enjoyed your work from the beginning and always will. What do I owe you? Something this good should be rewarded. Please continue to spread this positive love throughout the atmosphere. Family is truly a wonderful thing.

    These songs are so appropriate 4 the nu world order. Great to C inspirational and thought provoking music still being made and 4 your music to help enlighten others to follow their dreams. As a midwestern poet from Iowa, (Susie D.) once wrote "Let each soul walk it's own path". Thanx for the guide.

    remember the dreams becomes the life you lead! i love it!

    one of my dream would be to meet you prince!

    melanie from france.

    This is great!!!!! Finally the music of the great one is made readily available to all of his fams. I must say, that I have been listening to Prince since I was in the womb. The music inspires me, and thanks to you Prince, I developed a love for music. I play many instruments as well, and can play almost everyone of your songs, and can match your voice almost pitch for pitch. Now thanks to more and more people being turned onto the Truth, the music may finally be Free. Keep banging out the hot joints, and Let the Musical Floodgates Open!!!!!

    Peace and B Wild

    the 2 new mp3's r magnificent. "sunshine" is just one of the most beautiful songs i have heard and "piad" is just downright amazing. thank you so much and i hope the next mp3 (if any) is "daisy chain" :)
    i love your music since i'm 12 years old. continue , you are the man PRINCE! hire me and i will be your singer and your dancer!!

    melanie from france.

    This comes a little late but thank you (all of you involved) so much for the music. My heart is touched once again. Prince, your mind is amazing!

    The marketing is fresh. Personally, I loved it. It is so important to have fun & tax your thoughts in different/stimulating ways. But, don't forget the ones that may not have the equipment or knowledge to exercise the opportunity. They want & need the melody & message as well.

    I wish you all a happy & blessed year.

    Amazing. The truth has been told and it is music for our souls. Only ? is when can we have more? For those of us who truly believe, we seek the truth in our everyday lives. We find the truth in God and in the unconditional love we have for our children. Thank you Prince and the NPG, the new joints are wonderful. I will be requesting them often once they hit the radio waves in Knoxville, TN. Love always and many thanks for the music that has made my life enjoyable.

    Kris J.

    Dear NPG,

    "You Make My Sunshine" is a beautiful song. But I wish Prince would go back to the guitar and make that instrument SING! We've heard the synths for nearly a decade now, and I would love nothing more than the rebirth of Prince being celebrated with the instrument he can play better than ANYONE ELSE on this planet! Life is a celebration, right? Than make your soul sing by playing the guitar! Fight the power and love the music!

    Peace and Love,
    Bill

    today i downloaded the jams by prince....and i must say...the "kid" got it and never lost it....aint nothing but a muffin....got a lot of butta 2 go....peace and be wild.....
    Thank U, thank u, thank u
    4 being a part of my life since 1987.
    I could not imagine a day without your music, even when I am travelling abroad. My wife and I love almost every song U ever released and I am sure our child who will be born in May will also share our passion.
    Thank u 4 the 2 latest songs. That is what music industry fears most. Artists sharing their music with the fams at any time at any price (or 4 free). If one looks at the charts its easy to see what's going on. Create a song push it 2 no. 1, earn a lot of $$ and drop the artist to get a fresh one. And sad enough a lot of people are buying the story.

    I hope 2 c u and the npg in Europe very soon (pls. wait until May ;-> 4 my child to arrive).

    Pietro, Planet Earth

    I just hope these bytes are more than a nibble! Whenz the next package of jams?!?!?!?

    Beautiful!

    Bob from France

    The new tunes are wonderful. Thank you so much for making them available and for allowing us to share them.

    If people like "When Will We Be Paid", then they should also check out Sweet Honey in the Rock...just a thought. It's all about spreading the love.

    Thanks again.
