Le violet quant \u00e0 lui, ne symbolise pas grand chose, \u00e0 part en Italie oui, la robe des cardinaux et&#8230; \u00e7a me donne la chiale rien que de l&#8217;\u00e9crire : le deuil.<\/p>\n<p>Mais quoi, dans le monde de Prince, qu&#8217;est ce que cela pouvait bien vouloir dire? une couleur de nuit, courant vers l&#8217;aube et le jour. Le violet, c&#8217;est la couleur &#8220;sub-niger&#8221;, juste en dessous du noir. la premi\u00e8re couleur sous le noir, la plus fonc\u00e9e des couleurs &#8220;chromatiques&#8221;. on la dit donc color\u00e9e mais\/et sombre, rare (elle est difficile \u00e0 synth\u00e9tiser), vertigineuse, mysterieuse, hypnotique&#8230; caract\u00e9rielle.<\/p>\n<p>j&#8217;adore cette id\u00e9e quand je pense \u00e0 Prince, parce que pour moi, Prince, quand je l&#8217;\u00e9coutais petite, quand je le regardais plus grande, quand je l&#8217;ai compris plus \u00e2g\u00e9e encore, c&#8217;est \u00e7a : un caract\u00e8re vertigineux. quelqu&#8217;un qui avait touch\u00e9 sa propre essence. tellement authentique.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FAFROPUNK%2Fvideos%2Fvb.47016231622%2F10153544857656623%2F%3Ftype%3D3&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>j&#8217;amais sa musique, il m&#8217;a fait tellement tripp\u00e9! mais j&#8217;aimais l&#8217;homme aussi, car cet homme&#8230; il kiffait. il KIFFAIT en capitales svp! je vous avais parl\u00e9 <a href=\"http:\/\/maihua.fr\/2011\/07\/nothing-compares-to-prince\/\" target=\"_blank\">de son concert il y a 4 ans<\/a> au Stade de France (c&#8217;\u00e9tait aussi notre premier concert avec L\u00e2m, \u00e0 Bercy, en 19XX, je me rappelle plus).

For 2 days, i have been listening to him, on and on, I&#8217;ve been watching all his videos. On and on. But no words would come out.<\/em><br \/>\n<em> When I was a teenager, I used to listen to his tapes, reading\/rewinding x 3000 &#8220;Sometimes it Snows in April&#8221;.<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Well, I feel such a sorrow for the loss of Prince. Well, I cannot really talk about him. Well, maybe, we could talk about colors? Did you say Purple? This color is between violet and Pourpre (The color that only antique Roman Emperors could wear)(you need tons of shells, called murex, to produce a couple of kg of Pourpre). On the other hand, Violet Purple, does not symbolizes much. Except in Italy, where Cardinals wear purple and, I am almost crying while writing this : people who are mourning their dead.<\/em><br \/>\n<em> So what?! In Prince&#8217;s world, what would purple mean? A color from the night, oscillating towards dawn, and day. Purple is also called \u00ab sub-niger\u00bb, just below black. The first color below black. The darkest chromatic color. It is said to be both colorful and\/but dark, rare (it is so hard to synthesize it), ambivalent, vertiginous, mysterious, hypnotic&#8230; With strong temperament<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>And I love to think that when thinking of Prince because to me Prince, when I was listening to him as kid, looking at him as a teenage, understanding him as a woman, to me Prince was a vertiginous Character and Temperament. He was connected to his essence. Pure essence. He was actually so authentic.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>I love his music. I LOVE IT SO MUCH. But I love the person too. Because Prince was&#8230; Enjoying. ENJOYING SO MUCH, with capital character please. When you see him play, when you him perform, he enjoys and embraces his life so much. We talked about it my post regarding his venue in Paris 4 years ago) What a moment! It was so crazy, so generous, so sensuous, so sensational (I talked about his erect guitar). When you see him playing, he was not only a star, not only a musical genius, he was &#8220;life&#8221;. His whole person was life. Sharing love from everywhere. And when I see all these videos I can feel how, all this music, sharing, love, vibes&#8230; Transforms into matter.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>It is crazyness. It is life. He was that.<\/em><br \/>\n<em> Some issues like gender (purple is known to be more feminine, it the color of Venus, the temptress Scarlet o&#8217;hara), sex, music, business, privacy&#8230; Prince never compromised. He was an eccentric but an authentic one. No wonder why he was so colorful. That also made him so profound. He did not show everything but he wouldn&#8217;t hide from anything. This is&#8230; Beauty.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>While talking about sex, what comes to my mind is the main difference it made with Michael Jackson. Indeed. I loved him a lot too. But if we are talking about something else, in order to preserve ourselves a little bit, we could talk about beauty routines. Why not?!! Hairdo, skin color, makeup, we have here two men we can describe as heavy users. je l\u2019aimais beaucoup celui l\u00e0 aussi. But you can see how an eye liner stroke can look weird on one, and playful and expressive in the other, from monstruous to sublime. And damn sexy!\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Oh yes Prince, was a man, a true man. He was an artist. A true one. Totally free. An authentic and free genius. So&#8230; Funky!<\/em><br \/>\n<em> So pur-ple.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We all die, but some things will never.\u00a0<\/em><br \/>\n<em> purple tears, but you\u2019ve got me laughing under your purple reign\u2026 forever!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(English version available below) Bient\u00f4t 2h du matin.
