Prince ~ Dolphin

Some people miss his brilliance in sensitivity, so this is just a gentle reminder to how beautiful Prince was, some of the greatest poets couldn't match his key in sensitivity.... the purple one. 💜

How beautiful do the words have to be
Before they conquer every heart?
How will you know if I'm even in the right key
If you make me stop before I start?
If I came back as a dolphin
Would you listen to me then?
Would you let me be your friend?
Would you let me in?
You can cut off all my fins
But to your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let you tell me how to swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin
Why does my brother have to go hungry
When you told him there was food for all?
This is the man that stands next to the man
That stands to catch you when you fall (Oh!)
If I'm under water, will you find me? (Find me)
Will you shine a light and try to guide me?
It's happened before, I've knocked on your door
But you wouldn't let me in
How beautiful do the words have to be
Before they conquer every heart? (Oh!)
If I came back as a dolphin
Would you listen to me then?
Would you let me be your friend?
Would you let me in?
You can cut off all my fins
But to your ways I will not bend
I'll die before I let you tell me how to swim
And I'll come back again as a dolphin
As a dolphin
(Be my friend) Dolphin
(Yeah, yeah)
Dolphin
As a dolphin
As a dolphin
As a dolphin

I like this song. It's totally different than what I'm used to from him. It takes some getting used to. He will always be the purple one in my eyes.....🙏

@SW-User This one is a tearjerker 🥹 ~ he made a medley of his song 'Dolphins' along with Bowie's 'Heroes' for one of his final performances in March 2016 in Toronto. Prince once lived in Toronto, and I believe, with Sheila E. He chose this in tribute to David Bowie, who had died one month earlier, and not known by Prince, he was going to die one month later. There's a certain quality of bittersweet within this, to me, that forever tells what type of artist he was. 💜 So yeah, since I once lived in Toronto, I have a very special sentiment in my 💜 heart

@SW-User This performance is so bittersweet for me. His talents will never be forgotten. His live performance of " Dolphins " is much better to me live than the recording. I feel the raw emotion in his voice.....it comes from his heart and soul.....long live the purple one in our hearts forever!! 💜 Plus this was a true tribute to David Bowie!! 💖

@SW-User Let me add this here.....I don't just like Dolphin, I love it now......I listen to his words and there is so much meaning there. It's going on my playlist!! I love new music I've never heard from a favorite artist!! 🙏
