THE REAL MEANING OF “PURPLE RAIN” – PRINCE SONG INTERPRETATION

It’s April 21st again, and for Prince fans, it is a day where many still grieve his passing. I cannot say I share the same perspective, because that is the day when my life started to change in an unexpected way. It was not possible for me to mourn him, because his spirit was with me, all the time. The only thing I was be sad about, was the fact that he was not in a physical body. But everything else about him was still intact. His spirit lives on. I want you to know that. There is an after life. It is important how you live your life now.

As a remembrance for Prince’s musical legacy today, I’m sharing with you the meaning of the song, Purple Rain. Many people have long wondered what the meaning of “purple rain” is. It is actually not a huge mystery that people think it is.

Prince once said so himself what it is. He said in an interview;

When there’s blood in the sky – red and blue = purple… purple rain pertains to the end of the world and being with the one you love and letting your faith/God guide you through the purple rain.

He also made reference to a purple sky in the song lyrics for 1999:

I was dreamin’ when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin’, could’ve sworn it was Judgment Day
The sky was all purple, there were people runnin’ everywhere
Tryin’ to run from the destruction, you know I didn’t even care

I would not be surprised at all if he did have a dream seeing a purple sky and seeing a vision of the end times. For people that are not familiar with the Bible, the term Judgement Day is referring to what is often called the Day of The Lord, the end times, or the return of Jesus. It is prophesied in the Bible that Jesus would return after a period of turmoil and destruction. There would be major natural disasters, chaos, and unrest. There wold be strange phenomena happening in the sky. To know Prince, one needs to also know the Bible, as it has been one of his major influences on his work. Many people try to ignore this fact. They would prefer to only think of him as a rockstar with funky clothes, and ignore that he always had God on his mind throughout his work, even in his early career, not just after his conversion to Jehovah Witness.

While there is no specific reference to blood in the sky in the Bible, there is a passage that says this;

Revelation 16:3 (NIV): The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.

The water in the sea will turn to blood. If the waters turn to blood, would the rain become blood too? We have already seen strange things happening in the skies around the world in the last few years Even purple skies. And there have been reported cases of large bodies of water having turned blood red from all around the world.

But back to the song. It is made even clearer what Prince meant in Purple Rain, when he performed it for the New Years Eve special for 2000. Before the song, he said this;

Time. Time is a trick. How many birthdays did you have? One. You had one day of birth. You continue to count birthday, your mind gives up, and your body deteriorates. This is the trick of time. Man was never supposed to die, we were given everlasting life. By the creator. The Father of Jesus Christ. There is no other king. There is no other king, only Jesus Christ. Time is a trick, 1999, huh – I don’t think so. We could be in the third millennium perhaps. Might be 1492. Who knows. I don’t want to see you in the purple rain…

Then during the song, he did this variation on his lyrics, which makes it abundantly clear who he was talking about…

You say you want a leader, but you can not seem to make up your mind. Maybe I’m gonna close it. Maybe I’m gonna close it. Lord. Let the fall of Jesus Christ guide you, the purple rain.

But what he said in his performance, we know that Jesus is the leader that he is talking about in these lines;

You say you want a leader
But you can’t seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

But what did he mean by these lines? Isn’t it strange he talks about laughing in the purple rain?

I only wanted to one time to see you laughing
I only wanted to see you
Laughing in the purple rain

If you remember this line from 1999, “Tryin’ to run from the destruction, you know I didn’t even care”. He said he didn’t care. In fact, he is overjoyed, because he knows what it all means, that Jesus is about to return. The end of the world is a joyous occasion for those who understand the end times prophecy. It means that the evils of this world is about to end. This is why he said “laughing in the purple rain”. Because if you know what it all means, you are not scared, you are guided by God to get you through the challenging times.

It is also interesting to note that also on the Purple Rain album, there is the song titled, I Would Die 4 U, which is written in the perspective of Jesus. We know this because he mentions the word “Messiah”. Also worth noting is that the song Darling Nikki, at the end, there isa hidden message that was back masked. When you play that section backwards, it reveals a message that says, “Hello. How are you. I’m fine. Cuz I know that the Lord is coming soon, coming… coming soon”. You can ear the sound effect of rain and wind (maybe that is purple rain?), and at the end of the message, he laughs. Laughing in the purple rain?

I have heard it where, by a so-called medium who claimed to channel Prince, who tried to answer the question of what Purple Rain is about, and suggesting something totally different. Their answer to this question alone proves that they are not talking to the spirit of Prince. Other mediums have also made light of his faith in Jesus as Jehovah Witness, alluding to a New Age perspective on the afterlife. Mediums who deny or try to discredit his faith shows that they are not talking to him. I assure you these are frauds. Not only do they deceive you about Prince, but they deceive you about who Jesus is also. The Bible wanted of many who would deceive and be deceived in the end times. My metaphysical connection to Prince is real, and I prove it over and over. As I have shown you through my previous blog posts, Prince tells me about Jesus coming soon. We are living in end times. And we must become prepared for it through faith in God and letting go of this corrupt world.

I did this EVP to get his confirmation about what Purple Rain is about. He told me, “It’s about end time”.

And so I will leave it at that. I hope that when people remember Prince, that they not only remember his excellence as an artist, but more importantly, the messages that he had to share.

May you be blessed.

AS I PLAYED PIANO, HE TOLD ME “JESUS COMING” – EVP March 28, 2019

Before I even serious;y started recording EVP on 20-19, I would jam on the piano, and I would start to notice something a bit strange. I was hearing more than just the piano, like singing, but not quite. And I couldn’t make out the words. I am usually home alone when I play, so you could see why I was perturbed by the phenomenon. I could hear it coming from the piano. There was one time when I was sitting at the piano, not yet having touched the piano, and I heard this sound, as though someone slid their finger over the wooden surface of the pano. It almost sounded like it came from inside the piano. Later, I would start doing EVP and find out that Prince was singing with me as I played.

I started doing musical EVP, experimenting with piano and guitar. What I realized about EVP was that a sound source was conducive to amplifying the sounds from the other side. The only drawback was that the piano was a bit too loud, the sound was was a bit too strong, it made it harder to hear the words. Acoustic guitar has similar issues. What I found that worked best was actually electric guitar without the amp. Hope I will get a hold of one soon and be able to do more EVP with it.

A coulee weeks ago, I recored while playing piano and got some good clips. I think you will need headphones for this, but you can give it a try anyway and see if you hear it. The sound quality can vary depending on what device you are using to listen from. Sometimes the subtle richness of the delicate frequencies are lost on some devices. The clips are repeated on loop.

Here P says, “I play with you”.

As I was playing, I could hear the birds chirping from outside my window. P sang, “Birdies out there”.

Sometimes I wonder if the birds could hear me playing from outside. Here P says, “They love it”.

In this clip, P says, “The birds are loving it”.

Here he says, “Now they’re flying”.

And “Now they’re gone”.

At the end of my playing, P was singing repeatedly variations of “Get ready, Jesus coming”. He said it many times, I think this was the better quality clip. You can hear a double clap at the end. That was him.

Here is another version of “Get ready, Jesus coming”.

In this one, he said, “Get ready, the Lord is coming”.

Here is “Get ready”.

Here is “Jesus coming”.

I have already said in previous posts about Jesus’ return. He mentioned it so many times on this recording, I am certain he wanted to do many takes of it so get it across as clearly as possible.

It reminds me of the back masking at the end of the Darling Nikki track on the Purple Rain album. When it’s played backwards, it says, “Hello. How are you. I’m fine. Cuz I know that the Lord is coming soon, coming… coming soon”. Here you can hear it below. As I told you in previous post, I finally realized what P came here for, and he did it very clearly on this track from so early on in his career.

So what does it mean to get ready? It begins with prayer, talking to God, having a relationship with him. It’s not about religion. It’s about knowing who Jesus is, through his teachings, through scripture in the Bible. Not an assumption of who he is by many people in non-Christian spiritual communities. As prophesied in the Bible, in the end times, there would be many fake teachings about Jesus, and people who profess to channel him, that give information contrary to the Bible. He forewarned of this, because he knew.

To know God is to love God. When Jesus was asked, what the greatest commandment was, he said to love God:

Matthew 22:37 (NIV): Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’This is the first and greatest commandment. ³⁹And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Notice he did not say tolerance and compassion as the greatest commandment? Tolerance and compassion may relate to the second command of loving your neighbours, but the first is to love God. And that is where a lot of spiritual people talking about Jesus’ teachings get it wrong. They try to exclude God from the teachings, making it unimportant to know God (instead telling you to go meditate). Maybe some people are very uncomfortable with God.

Maybe some of you out there who have been following me a while will be uncomfortable with my greater focus on God, rather than a broader spiritual sense. But I realized in recent days that the truth is found in scripture, and there is a conspiratorial plot by the underworld to deceive us all by diluting the truth of who Jesus is. I am interested in truth, not pleasing people. If you a spiritual person and you are uncomfortable with God, then it is really time that you take a look at what you believe and why you believe it. Many people only want to believe the things they like to hear or that sound good to him. Preferring to “choose” beliefs instead of seeking truth.

May you be blessed.

DOLPHINS SPOKE TO US THROUGH EVP – January 26, 2019

Sometimes being able to connect with the spirit world means having to learn about bad news before it makes the news. One night I was praying and I decided to record. I played some white noise in the background. When I reviewed the recording, I was shocked at what I heard. I’m about to share something out of the ordinary, and it will seem truly bizarre and unreal to most of you.

Depending on what device you use, the sound quality may vary. Due to the recording conditions, they are not as good as my usual environmental EVPs, but they are still relatively audible when listened to with care. I use Beat headphones when I review EVP, so I recommend headphones to get the most out of your listening experience. The clips are repeated on loop.

As I was praying, a voice called out and said, “We are dolphins”.

When I heard this, I wondered if it was really true, The spirit of dolphins? The following clips confirmed it. P asked, “Where do you guys live?”. They said, “We live in the Gulf Stream”.

Another said, “In the.. Atlantic Ocean”.

They told us they were trapped and they asked P if he could help them by praying. In this clip, they said, “We are starving, God can you help us”.

Here’s a clip of one saying, “I’m a dolphin”.

In this clip, it says, “God, can you hear us?”.

P prayed and a little while later, one said, “I’m set free, don’t worry”. What a relief!

P remarked, “Yes, God is so good”.

It sounded to me from the recording that God had answered their prayers and helped them set free. It sounds crazy and unbelievable. I presume angels came to the aid of these dolphins. It reminds me of the Bible story of Peter in Acts 12: 6-8, where he was aided by angels who came in the night to set him free from prison. All his family had been praying for him the whole time. and they couldn’t believe it when he had returned home

Even though I have heard from others that do EVP, that animals can, and do speak to us on recording, it still blows my mind. In this case, I would assume that the dolphins were in an altered state due to their condition, their spirit left their bodies and managed to find P. I find this remarkable. It still baffles me.

For those that are Prince fans, P had a song called Dolphin. He loves dolphins, as do I.

As if this wasn’t shocking enough, there is more to the story. I was never intending to share these recordings. They are not the best in sound quality. They are also “pretty out there”. But a week ago, I saw an article appear on on my Facebook feed. Earlier that day, an amazing video on dolphins had also appeared on my feed too. I was shocked when I saw this headline; 1,100 mutilated dolphins discovered on French coast since January.

I was stunned. The recording I did took place on January 26, 2019. The article said, “since January”. It said that dolphins were inadvertently getting caught in fishing nets and machinery. Not only does this time range match with my recording. But it matched with region as well. The dolphins said they were from the Gulf Stream and Atlantic Ocean. The article mentioned Atlantic Ocean.

Were these dolphins possible from these group of dolphins getting trapped, according to this article? While I cannot confirm, the evidence is clear. I had no idea about this occurring, but I knew about these dolphins that were trapped. I just didn’t know it was an ongoing problem. I kept it to myself. I feel really sad about it. But I guess in this case, it goes to show that this information that came through EVP has proven itself to be true and relevant.

I hope these kind creatures will be kept safe from harm. Let’s pray for them.

HE SHOWED UP IN MY PHOTO AND TOLD ME HE KNEW GEORGE LUCAS – EVP March 7 & 15, 2019

Last week, I posted about the EVP at the dollar store, and how P wanted to get the purple bunny. I went back to grab a photo of it for my records. I was also recording during all this. I got some incredible clips.

Depending on what device you are using, the sound quality will vary. I use Beats headphones when I review EVP. So if you want to hear the clips to its fullest, I suggest using headphones as you will miss out on the subtle frequencies otherwise. The clips are repeated on loop.

On March 7th, 2019, when I was looking through some books, I noticed a Star Wars theme book. I kind of had a double-take moment when I saw it. On the EVP, I heard, “Book on Star Wars“.

I know how P likes Stars Wars. He said, “Darth Vador“.

After I heard this, on March 15th, 2019, I decided to go back to the mall where I saw the purple bunny and Star Wars book to get a picture of it. I saw that the book was still there (there was only 1 copy). I took a photo of it. Then I decided to take another. I remembered there was a book about George Lucas, I found it and placed it beside the Star Wars book. As I was doing this to take the second photo, on the recording, P said, “I knew George Lucas”. P played at Lucas’ wedding in 2013.

Prince at George Lucas’ wedding in 2013.

When I got home, I felt this sense that P might have tried to appear in the photos. I listened to the EVP, and found this clip where he said, “I’m in the picture”. You can here me snap the photo. Still, I was a bit skeptical as I didn’t notice anything unusual while taking the photo.

I looked at the photos on my camera. I could see a white smokey figure over the book cover. The contrast of the blue really stood out. I didn’t use flash in the photo. Nor was there glare coming from the surface of the book cover. Then I looked at the second version of the photo that I took. I noticed that the white figure was in a different spot on the book! I uploaded the photos on to my computer to get a better look.

I am showing the original photos as a screenshot in Lightroom to prove that these are RAW files. Any photographer out there will know that a RAW photo file cannot be altered. They prove that they are the original photo file. You can see in the file name near the bottom that it is a .CR2 file.

Now here are the photos with higher contrast, increased exposure, lower highlight and increased white. You can see the smokey figure more defined. If you look closely, there is a swirly quality to it, especially near the bottom area of the figure. This is typical of how spirits appear in photos.

As I was walking, a voice said, “Hey Andrea”. This clip is so amazing clear. This mall is one of my local “haunts”, so it’s interesting that they know my name and want to greet me.

As I was walking to the mall, I sensed P holding his dog Mia in his arms. According to the EVP, I was right, and the other spirits saw her too. They seem to make a big deal when they see a dog in spirit. I have even once heard a spirit ask him how to got a dog.

A female voice said, “Who’s the dog?”. P responded, “Her name is Mia’. What I noticed about conversations between spirits, is that their response time to each other’s comments can be very quick. As soon as one finishes a sentence, the other replies, leaving no pause in between.

Here’s a child’s voice shouting excitedly, “There’s a dog there”.

At the dollar store, someone said, “Prince there”.

Sometimes spirits are very nosey and ask what we are doing there. This time I needed to mail a package. P said, “Mail package”. I have noticed that spirits when talking to each other, they speak in short form and don’t bother to form full sentences in conversation.

Something to consider when hearing EVP and looking at spirit photos is that there is distortion between dimensions. Spirits are operating from a different dimension than ours. In a sense, they are pressing against “the veil”. So we what we see or hear from them, and what it is actually like in their world, are very different things. From what I can tell, they have a spirit version of their body that is in the likeness of when they were physically alive. There is a range of ways in how spirits can appear to us. Sometimes in full figure, partial figure, transparent, solid opaque, as an orb, as smoke and swirls or sparkles of light (usually in in photos). If you see an unusual placement of white in a photo that cannot be accounted for, or your camera acts weird, it is possibly s spirit.

HE WANTED TO GET THIS PURPLE BUNNY FROM THE DOLLAR STORE – EVP March 15, 2019

A while ago, I recorded some EVP while I was at my local dollar store. When I walked in, I noticed the new items they got in for Ester. There were these delightful bunny dolls and it came in this bright purple. I just kept feeling very drawn to it. But I was not going to be buying one. Anyway, when I got home and heard the recording, I realized why I felt drawn, it was because P wanted it for his pet friends; Mia, his puppy, and cats, Paisley I and II.

Some of these clips are astonishingly clear. But others are not as high in volume, so depending on what device you are using, the sound quality may vary. I use Beats headphones when I review EVP. I receommed listening with headphones so that you can hear them fully. The clips are repeated on loop.

I was in this aisle that had these sequin coin purses. A female voice said, “I love the sequins”. And then P replied, “Those are funky”.

In the same aisle was this purple bunny, here P says, “I should get one, purple bunny”.

I heard the mention of purple bunny several times on the recording. Here is one saying “Purple bunny”. And then someone commented, “Prince is dancing over there”.

I have observed that the way spirits communicate with each other in conversation is often very short in words. Usually a sentence would be no more than five words. It is like a short-hand style of speaking, as though they are talking in point form. Here is one good example.

A female voice said, “Prince show there”. Then another said, “You tall be perfect”. Prince responded saying, “She doesn’t mind”. It appears that the voice were commenting on me being a bit taller than P. I love him just the way he is, and he knows that.

I was getting my change ready to pay for my items when P said, “Honey, you have to save money”. Lately, he’s warned me of a downward economy.

When I left the cashier area, I heard P say, “Hold bunny”.

Then as I walked, I heard it said again “Purple bunny”.

I think one of the pets were with us, as P said, “Hold your bunny… let’s go”.

I really did get the sense that he got the bunny, even before I heard the EVP. I just thought it was really sweet and funny.

RECORDING PRINCE IN THE AFTERLIFE – REFLECTIONS ONE YEAR LATER – EVP VALENTINE’S DAY 2018

I feel so blessed. Last night I reviewed an EVP recording from last year made on Valentine’s Day. At the time, I couldn’t really hear anything. I didn’t know how to listen for EVP, nor did I have the right equipment (headphones), knowledge, or skill. One year later, and I am able to spot EVP easily. I have learned so much about the spirit world from it. I realized that a lot of things that people say about the spirit world are really just their assumptions. No one can say they know until they have objectively observed the spirit world in action.

I am truly grateful to be able to share my experiences with you. I never thought I would believe in the things that I do now. Even though I grew up with exposure to church, I couldn’t reconcile the differences countered by the evidence of the afterlife. Now that I have had first hand experiences and studied the Bible, I know that there is no contradiction. God promised eternal life to all. How you spend eternity is up to you and God. It is my greatest pleasure to show you evidence of the after life.

I’m about to share with you clips from this early recording. This was before I knew anything, and I was experimenting, hoping to get results. I reviewed it after, but didn’t really notice anything major. I didn’t have the knowledge of what to look for. Learning EVP was a slow going prices and I was impatient. I had expectations of what EVP should sound like, and it didn’t match with the reality of it.

Most of these clips are incredibly clear and loud. But I review these using Beats headphones, so depending on what device you are using, the sound quality may vary. For best results, I recommend using headphones to hear these clips to the fullest. The clips are repeated on loop.

In this recording, I set up a laptop to record a Skype call with my iPad that would be in the basement. My laptop’s mic was switched off so that it would only record what was coming from the iPad. I played a CD in the basement, Prince’s Planet Earth. I stayed upstairs to monitor the recording.

The reason why I had music playing was because I heard that having a sound source can help spirits to speak louder. What ended up happening was that on the recording, the music sounded choppy, like the volume kept going up and down. I wasn’t sure if it had anything to do with Skype or not. But after much observation from other recordings, I think it’s possible thatP could have been interfering with the sound.

I started the Skupe and asked P to go to the basement. Here’s a clip where he says, “I’m in basement“.

The track, Planet Earth was playing and he said, “It is Prince, Andrea”.

Here he says his full name, “I’m Prince… Rogers Nelson”.

Here he says, “Andrea, I love you”.

Here he says, “Happy Valentine’s Day, I love you”. This was at the end of the Planet Earth track, he sounds like a flute whistling.

The track, Guitar was playing and he said, “Ann-an-andrea, Happy Valentine’s Day…” and then you can hear him say, “I’m Prince Rogers Nelson” very faintly. The first part is really cool, like a singing guitar, like one of Prince’s guitar peddles, only it’s him doing it!

The track Somewhere Here On Earth came on. It is my most favourite song. The first time I ever heard it, it was in the dollar store, on the radio. I didn’t know it was his song. It spoke to me as if he speaking to me. And then I didn’t know it was him until after he passed, and I felt his presence with me, and I started listening to all his music.

As the song was playing, the volume went out. He said very quietly “I wrote this one about you”. It’s quiet, so you need headphones to hear this one.

In this clip, he says, “The one you heard in the… dollar store”. This clip is really low volume and has a lot of static, but you can hear it with headphones.

Here he says, “Andrea Mai”, and then you can hear, “It’s me”.

Here he says, “I love you“.

In this one, the track The One U Wanna C was playing. Where the song says, “Pretty as you can be”, he spoke over it saying my name, so it sounds like “Pretty as Andrea”. There a clap too!

I started to hear another conversation going on. Other spirits were asking what he was doing. He told them he was recording.

Here is a clip of him telling someone, “We love God”. This was during the track, Future Baby Mama.

In this clip, he says, “She loves me”.

To say that I’m melting is an understatement. I feel his love all the time. I hear his whispers to me. And to have it in the tangible form of a recording is priceless.

People who miss him, I hope you know he is happy and well. There is more to this life than we think, there is the after world, as Prince had always spoke of. It is time to get right with God. We just never know how much time we have.

I FOUND EVP ON THIS PRINCE INTERVIEW FROM 2009 IN PARIS

I’ve become very adapt at listening for EVP, having done it so much i the past year. By now, I have gone through hundreds of recordings. I have learned how to spot EVP, knowing what an EVP voice sounds like. I happened to be listening to this press interview conference that Prince did on October 12, 2009, in Paris. It’s one of my favourites. I noticed that there was EVP on the audio. So I started to listen carefully and clip them.

The EVP clips I found came from this video:

I have enhanced the EVP clips to make it more audible. Depending on what device you are using, you may be able to hear it without headphones. However, I sill recommend them to get the full effect. The clips are repeated on loop. I have reference the time that the clip comes from the original video.

8:16 “Telephone.”
During the interview, someone’s cell phone rang. You can hear a voice saying “Telephone” after the phone rings.

8:41 “Artist.”
You can hear a voice saying “Artist” in the background between Prince speaking about what “free music” means..

10:21 “Hey Prince.”
A voice is heard saying “Hey Prince” in between Prince talking about how happy is at this time in his life.

12:03 “God is love.”
At the end of the interview, the reporters ask him what question he would like them to ask. He says, “Ask me about God”. A reporter replies, “What would you like us to understand”. Prince says, “That you need him… We all do”. In between those words, a voice says, “God is love”. Not only are these words from the Bible, but they are words are featured in the lyrics for Anna Stesia; “Love is God, God is love. Girls and boys love God above”.

This last clip is just incredible. It must have been one of his angels. Prince has mentioned angels in his songs, saying that they told him things. Is it any wonder to discover these EVP clips demonstrating such spirits present? Wow.
