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 ↴
A voice spoke unto her saying come in
She's lost 4 words, describing the feeling
Whatever it is, it will never end
No, uh uh
Very adept in the art of listening
She studied everything she needed 2 know
And the words, come in and go
Come in and go
2 a place where time it has no meaning
And a space where there r no more walls
Very adept in the art of receiving
She finally got the call
Come in, come in, go
Immersion, immersion
Very adept in the art of releasing
She let all of her inhibitions go
With the unexpected shock of a bee sting
She got pulled in 2 the future
And in 2 the new world (repeat)
Welcome 2 the place much faster than time
The true reality whee only peace you'll find
Come in, come in, go
Immersion, immersion, immersion, go

Child of King Jesus
@A. P. Dearest Brother or Sister, I will be glad to answer your question. It is a good question. The first I should point out is, that scripture shows us in Acts 2:4, Acts 19:6, Mark 16:17, and more, that at the time of the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the 3rd person of God, the person being baptised will speak in tongues. The tongues may be loud and clear, or quiet or even a whisper, may be many words or few, or even in song. It depends on each individual and their experience, But the initial evidence of the Holy Spirit Baptism is tongues. But not everyone will be given the gifts of tongues. A person may never speak tongues again. Many people say tongues are for every believer, but the scripture doesn't seem to back that up. The apostle Paul says this in 1 (Corinthians 14:5)
"I wish that all of you could speak in tongues, but I would rather have you prophesy."
First of all, at the Holy Spirit Baptism, the Lord blesses each with gifts of the Holy Spirit, (though they take awhile for all to manifest over time). There is a list of the gifts found here (.1 Corinthians 12:4-11) There are two kinds of tongue gifts. Though in the list, it mentions one of them. God gives the gifts. In the description and list of miraculous gifts, Paul says,
"To one is given...to another is given etc. People often have been given more than one gift of the Spirit. There is also something called the fruit of the Spirit which is different from gifts of the Spirit.
The fruit, or aspects and qualities of a Christian person's life that the Holy Spirit has produced in them and has blossomed in their life. At the time of salvation, when a person believes in Jesus, accepts Christ as Saviour and believing He is the Son of God, and calls on the name of the Lord, the person becomes Born Again of the Spirit of God. They are transformed through a SPIRITUAL birth. Being born again; rather, having been begotten again. Not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever. Then the incorruptible seed is the Holy Spirit of God, the Source of all spiritual life; it is the Spirit that "beareth witness with our spirit that we are the children of God;"
When we become Born again, the Holy Spirit comes and dwells in the believer. They are sealed with Holy Spirit of promice. (Ephesians 1:13)
The believer's body becomes the Temple of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 6:19)
The baptism of the Holy Spirit is as Jesus decribed it as: "clothed with power from on high." (Luke 24:49)
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses.....: (Acts 1:8) That was on the day of Penticost when the Holy Spirit was first poured out.
We all must remember, that the Holy Spirit baptism is to empower His children with the Holy Spirit to be His witnesses, to speak boldly the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, with power! On the day of Penticost, when Holy Spirit fell and filled them all, Peter and the other disciples spoke with such power, that 3000 people were added to their number! He is also our Comforter, He teaches, makes us to recall the Lord's words, to empower us to work miracles, and He gifts us with miraculous gifts of the Spirit to serve God.
Many people have the misconception that the Holy Spirit baptism is so they may speak in tongues. One may not receive that gift and never speak in tongues again. There are differing types of tongues. There are prayer tongues that the apostle Paul calls "tongues of angels.." 1Corinthians 13:1. With prayer tongues the believer is praying to God supernatualy, but we don't know exactly what is said. But I get a feeling of blessing from what is being said. It's hard to explain. It edifies the person praying. We may not find out exactly what is happening with prayer tongues. But we know it is the Holy Spirit praying through us. The Bible does say, pray in the Spirit and in understaning. It is then important to pray in the Spirit if one has the gift.
I have heard some TV preachers and teachers try to force the baptism by saying : just start speaking. (Sometimes, when you feel the Holy Spirit is being poured or filling you, by starting to speak, you open your mouth to start to speak and the Holy Spirit takes over and true tongues come forth.) But I have seen people being told, "just start speaking", and what you get is someone trying to speak in tongues, and is a fake tongues. Such as a repeated da da da da da ka ka ka. That is not the true tongues I know of. But I have heard this da da da from many people and they think its tongues, but may well be of the flesh. I hope I am not wrong and have spoken wrongly here.( forgive me Lord If I have spoken wrongly). I must say, with the gift of discernment God gives, I can say, it just doesn't feel right. And from false teachers, I have heard demonic tongues. When you feel the Holy Spirit filling you, rising up, and you feel an urge to speak, then speak, praise the Lord! If you speak in tongues you will know it. It flows smoothly and it is a real language, a real complex language. Sometimes it can change to different languages at different times.
Having the prayer tongue and the gift of prophetic tongues, are different. The tongues spoken in a fellowship or prayer meeting, that is followed with an interpretation seem different from prayer tongues. The gift of tongues, that needs interpretation, comes fourth more boldly and louder, and one can tell it is the Lord speaking to the people. It doesn't drag on and on. He gives you what to say, it flows out easily and in boldness. You can here the Lord's compassion or even firmness or rebuke come through the tone of the message. Then it ends naturally as any statement would. If by chance a message is given and no one gives an interpretation, then pray. The speaker should ask the Lord to give you the interpretation. I have found that when it has happened to me, the Lord is gracious and gives me the interpretation. The person always has control to speak or not to speak. "The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.(1 Corinthians 14:32) That way if there is more than one measage from different speakers it can be done in an orderly fashion and not all at once.
Read 1 Corinthians chapter 14, about orderly worship. There is also the gift of tongues that seems more rare but does happen. A person will talk and or witness to someone that doesn't speak their language. So the Lord speaks through the Christiian, in the language the other person speaks. Here the Lord is conversing with this person in his own language. It is much like on the day of Penticost, the multitudes were hearing the disciples speaken in their own tongue. There were many from other nations and languages there for Penticost. It was God's perfect timing. Then those who were saved that day many went back to their own lands and shared the gospel.
One must be very careful not to seek and desire the Baptism to recieve tongues or any other gift. Because you will be seeking it for the wrong reason; seeking the gift instead of the giver. Most likely your faux pas will delay you being baptised by the Holy Spirit. You must seek the Lord, because you love Him, want to worship and serve Him, to bring Him glory.
I once knew a woman who was desperate to have the baptism so she could speak in tongues. She focused so much on this, that she'd even seek out recordings of someone speaking in tongues just to listen. It seemed the tongues were more important to her than seeking her Saviour. It was many years ago and the last thing I knew, she still hadn't been baptised.
I will close with something Paul wrote, that is good for all of us to remember!
(1 Corinthian 14:1-4)
EARNESTLY PURSUE LOVE and eagerly desire spiritual gifts, especially the gift of prophecy. 2For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men, but to God. Indeed, no one understands him; he utters mysteries in the Spirit. 3But he who prophesies speaks to men for their edification, encouragement, and comfort. 4The one who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but the one who prophesies edifies the church.:
Please read all of 1 Corinthians, you will learn a lot about gifts of the Spirit.
I have written a lot, but I felt somehow in my spirit I should give you all this information. God bless you, and I hope I answered your question adequately for you.
(1 Corinthians 2:2)
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a ringing gong or a clanging cymbal"
