Born and raised in Minneapolis, Prince signed a record deal with Warner Bros. Records at the age of 19, soon releasing the albums For You (1978) and Prince (1979). He went on to achieve critical success with the influential albums Dirty Mind (1980), Controversy (1981), and 1999 (1982). His sixth album, Purple Rain (1984), was recorded with his new backing band the Revolution, and was also the soundtrack to the film of the same name in which he starred. Purple Rain garnered continued success for Prince and was a major commercial achievement, spending six consecutive months atop the Billboard 200 chart. The soundtrack also won Prince the Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. After disbanding the Revolution, Prince released the album Sign o' the Times (1987), widely hailed by critics as the greatest work of his career. In the midst of a contractual dispute with Warner Bros. in 1993, he changed his stage name to the unpronounceable symbol logo. Hollow circle above downward arrow crossed with a curlicued horn-shaped symbol and then a short bar (known to fans as the "Love Symbol") and was often referred to as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince (or TAFKAP) or simply The Artist.
After signing with Arista Records in 1998, Prince reverted to his original name in 2000. Over the next decade, six of his albums entered the U.S. top 10 charts. In April 2016, at the age of 57, Prince died after accidentally overdosing on fentanyl at his Paisley Park home and recording studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota. He was a prolific musician who released 39 albums during his life, with a vast array of unreleased material left in a custom-built bank vault underneath his home after his death, including fully completed albums and over 50 finished music videos. He also released songs under multiple pseudonyms during his life, as well as writing songs that were made popular after being covered by other musicians, most notably "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Sinéad O'Connor and "Manic Monday" by the Bangles. Estimates of the complete number of songs written by Prince range anywhere from 500 to well over 1,000. Released posthumously, his demo albums Piano and a Microphone 1983 (2018) and Originals (2019) both received critical acclaim.
Prince sold over 100 million records worldwide, ranking him among the best-selling music artists of all time. His awards included the Grammy President's Merit Award, the American Music Awards for Achievement and of Merit, the Billboard Icon Award, an Academy Award, and a Golden Globe Award. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, the UK Music Hall of Fame in 2006, and the Rhythm and Blues Music Hall of Fame in 2016, and was inducted twice into the Black Music & Entertainment Walk of Fame in 2022.

Prince Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is for you
With love, sincerity and deepest care
My life with you I share
In the song "For You," Prince expresses his genuine and intense love for someone special. He starts off by saying "All of this and more is for you," which suggests that he's been doing a lot for this person, and he's still willing to give more, perhaps his all. The next line, "With love, sincerity and deepest care," shows that Prince's love is not superficial or selfish but rather deep and genuine. He then goes on to say that he's sharing his life with this person, which is a significant statement in a relationship. He's not just in it for fun, but he wants to build a life with this special someone.
Overall, the lyrics of "For You" depict deep love, dedication, and commitment. Prince sings about a love that surpasses materialistic things, and he's more about giving his all to someone he loves. The song can be interpreted differently, but the underlying message is clear: true love is beyond just physical attraction or financial gains, but it's about the person's character and what they bring in your life.
Line by Line Meaning
All of this and more
Everything that I have to offer, and even beyond that, is dedicated to you
Is for you
My actions, my thoughts, my heart, and my love are solely directed towards you
With love, sincerity and deepest care
I offer you my affection, honesty, and utmost concern through all that I do
My life with you I share
I want to spend my life with you and give you all that I am, including my time, my dreams, and all that I hold dear

I would go even further and say that if you’re not having actual living, true, scripturally aligned experiences spiritually in your walk with the Lord; where it’s evident that He’s working in your life—Where you are experiencing Him in such ways as to glorify Him in every single aspect of your life because His hand and blessings are that prominent and clearly seen in your life, that you know undoubtedly who you are in Christ—if you’re not bearing those good fruits, have not continually let Him work though His Holy Spirit through the process of sanctification (being made holy) and have not come into such an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ as the Father, then something is most definitely wrong in your walk. And Jesus may not know you at all.
The door of probation may be up for you. I’m sorry, I know that this may sound a bit harsh, but we need to stop being so lukewarm and get people more on fire 🔥 for God! Because whether you like it or not, He’s at the door, about to step through. You should be having very personal experiences with Jesus that are manifesting in your life by now as you are walking beside Him at this point, following His lead. Glorifying God as our Creator and Savior, obeying His commandments and loving others as ourselves.
Can you truly say that it is no longer you who lives but Christ in you? Can you honestly say that you’ve given your entire life over to Christ Jesus? Can you say that He’s called you His friend and not kept things from you? Have you been blessed with the gift of prophecy like Paul told us to earnestly seek so that we can communicate and understand Christ Jesus and our Creator more through the mysteries He will reveal to you? Have you been trained up in this gift to hear Him? Are you letting Him guide you and whatever you see Christ Jesus do you know it’s from the Father? Do you have inside jokes? Do you know His personality? Can you honestly say you’ve spent enough time to get to know Him?🧐
Are you doing God’s will and does your life attest to His will being clearly seen? Or are you doing your own will going your own way? Possibly doing the bear minimum and are therefore lukewarm and have no suitable wedding attire on?
Matthew 7:21-23 NIV
True and False Disciples
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

@J R05 Friend—I don’t want to quarrel with you. But I would be lying if I didn’t admit that your original comment hasn’t bothered me. It bothered me more to hear that you once loved Jesus and was on fire for Him but have now fallen away and are seeking/stalking/harassing those that believe in Him, adore Him, live for Him and have their very lives that testify of Him…
Why do you do this? Why do you seek to distort truth and to discourage others in their walk? Why do you support the breaking of His commandments more than obeying them? Where’s your faith and love for your fellow brothers and sisters? Have you ever questioned why you feel compelled to do such wicked things? I mean, I can read all of the other comments you have made on this channel, (8 of them total) and they are all in the same tone and disparaging remarks. You’re fruits are bitter and unpleasant. Why do you hate Jesus?
Don’t you see that Satan had a foothold with you? You are willingly doing Satan’s work/will and not seeking after the righteousness and will of God, why? Why do you happily do evil now and not seek what is good and of the Kingdom of God? Can’t you see why I would state that it appears you are committing the unpardonable sin of grieving away the Holy Spirit?
What happened to you, friend?
2 Corinthians 6:3 ESV—“We put no obstacle in anyone's way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry,”
Matthew 18:6 ESV—“But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”
Matthew 16:23 ESV—“But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”
Romans 14:17 ESV—“For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.”
1 Peter 5:8 ESV—“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”
1 John 3:8 ESV—“Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.”
John 8:44 ESV—“You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”
Even scripture says that if you don’t keep all of God’s commandments, there is absolutely no truth in you and you are a liar… And He doesn’t know you. Do you see how Satan was able to deceive you now? You fell for it. You rather obey the commandments of men rather than of God. One can only hope that it’s not too late for you.
James 2:24 ESV—“You see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone.”
*Please show me one verse in the word of God that states the Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday? Show me one verse in the Bible where it says the Sabbath is abolished and not to be observed on Saturday, the 7th day? Show me one verse in the word where it says the 10 commandments are not to be observed and we are to forget the 4th commandment only but still obey 9 of them? Show me one verse where it says Sunday is the new Sabbath? Show me one verse that shows God supporting what you are doing towards His children is acceptable to Him?*
1 John 2:3-11
The Test of Knowing Him
“Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.
Brethren, I write no new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which you heard from the beginning. Again, a new commandment I write to you, which thing is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away, and the true light is already shining.
He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.”
1 Thessalonians 4:6 ESV—“That no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.”
Luke 10:27 ESV—“And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 25:46 ESV—“And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
It would appear that you’re headed towards eternal punishment and I’m headed towards eternal life. I judge these things based upon our fruits that are witnessing for us.

What’s your bib’el say about the subject? In the beginning? Where are the devils?
Why, in the 3/4 of the book that is the Original covenant, devils are mentioned only 3 times, twice defining them. In your “New” , they are mentioned 44 times. Their mentions in your “New” doesn’t match the definition given.
David Called them, human “ invention”.
Psalms 106:37-39 (KJV) 37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, 38 And shed innocent blood, [even] the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. 39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions.
And Moses,
Deuteronomy 32:16-18 (KJV) 16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange [gods], with abominations provoked they him to anger. 17 They sacrificed unto devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new [gods that] came newly up, whom your fathers feared not. 18 Of the Rock [that] begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
Make believe gods.
