  • love his Guitar playing....true Artist.

    

  • Who is the 1 person that decided to down-vote this song? get him here so i could spank him.

  • @bogueji1 What's happening in the video is a symptom of what Prince is singing about however the video trivializes the over all message of the lyrics ,because it sucks a person into a false sense of the over all point. In my humble opinion. Lots of things can be interpreted in different ways but ultimately there is one truth. What is the over all truth of the song?

  • @chestveeg

    Thats why i said it's the beauty of the song, Ultimately there is "One Truth" in this case he is the only person who knows the true meaning behind his words. All me and you can do is give our interpretation of what it might mean, :)

  • upload: colonized mind by prince

    download: quit it by miriam makeba

    quit it was the influence for colonized mind.

  • @JANXDPDX Jesus is God. So it is a out Jesus.

  • @chestveeg prince is a jehovah's witness. they don't believe jesus was god, or in the idea of the trinity.

  • @MrKenndawg "Upload, the evolution principal You see a rock on the shore and say it's always been there" Download,no responsibility Do what you want nobody cares"......A direct rejection of the atheist idea. "The one in power makes law under which the colonized fall But without God it's just the blind leading the blind"....the solution,being led by God the only way to fix every problem. Those two verses are why this song was written. This video conveys something else entirely.

  • @chestveeg yes...speaking to a specific audience...multilayered message...Prince at his best.

  • @chestveeg ...if you look, you're sure gonna find...throughout mankind's history=a colonized mind. One in power makes law...underwhich colonized fall; without God, it's just the blind leadin' tha blind!! (thus, the video...and thus, the meaning of the Artist's messasge)....i think:)?

  • @chestveeg

    Its a message that can be translated in many ways, that's it's beauty.

  • PRINCE LOVE'S TO GET US THINKING. I LOVE HIM FOR THAT:)

  • I love the message in this song.

    

  • 1 dumbass has a colonized mind.

  • Part 3A.Upload: a joint venture record deal

    It's just another way 4 the man 2 steal

    While he's sticking you with the bill

    Download: the temporary acquisition of fleeting fame and fortune

    Nothing 2 leave in ur will

  • Part 3. Upload: a child with no father Download: no respect 4 authority Upload: a child with no mother Download: a hard time showing love If you look, ur sure gonna find Thruout mankind's history A colonized mind The one in power makes laws Under which the colonized fall But without god It's just the blind leading the blind
  • Part 2. Chorus: If you look, ur sure gonna find Thruout mankind's history

    A colonized mind The one in power makes law Under which the colonized fall But without god it's just the blind leading the blind

  • Part 1. Upload: the evolution principal U c a rock on the shore and say "it's always been there" Download: no responsibility Do what you want nobody cares Upload: the master race idea Genetically disposed 2 rule the world

    Download: a future full of isolated Full of isolated boys and girls

    Upload: a 2-party system The lesser of 2 dangers

    Illusion of choice Download: a veiled form of fascism

    Nothing really ever changes U never had a voice

  • WALL STREET¨S GREED IS DESTROYING THE WORLD!!!

  • Go follow Jesus Christ. Maybe he'll take you to the heaven right away.

  • one of the top ten guitarists of all time.

    

  • uuumh...what a song....peace out...

  • prince has nothing to gain from this yet he had the courage to speak out about this.

    he has all the money he could ever want. i mean really.

    this guy is just amazing. love him!

  • ALONG WITH "DREAMER" THIS SONG IS THE BEST FROM THE NICE ALBUM "LOTUS FLO3ER". PRINCE IS A PRODIGY!!!! GOD BLESS HIM!

  • all of ur opinions were just that. If u ask 10 people 2 watch the same tv show then explain it, u will get basically the same 10 responses. If u give 10 people the same book 2 read, and tell them 2 explain, u will get 10 different responses, because they interpreted it differently. This song is deep, yes, and it has multiple (as far as the public is concerned) meanings.... I cannot divulge, sorry. So continue 2 enjoy, and see a show, when it comes 2 ur town.peace and. welcome 2 the dawn.

  • @hippyblood4 Best comment.

  • @MisterHeroman thank u. peace, and b wild. bye the way, have u seen any of the "experiences" this year?

  • @hippyblood4 Sorry I haven't.

  • @MisterHeroman no need 2 apologize. have u ever seen us live at all, and where n the world r u a citizen?

  • this is heavy purple gnosis, children...

  • @Savvynlady, yes for an awakended mind!!!

  • This is one of these songs that's so deep that if you have no knowledge, no earthly idea what he's getting at, it will pass you by

  • "A colonized mind is soon separated and departed away from its own soul"

  • The video completely misses what the song is about. It's more about the planet as a whole being like a giant beehive. Cause and effect , Satan and sins effect on the world as a whole without mankind following Jesus Christ we are all lost. The race thing is such a small part of the bigger meaning of the song.

  • @chestveeg True.

  • @chestveeg thanks for your comments...the best part about art is everyone sees something different..luv and light to you.

  • @hempmomma You say that as if this is your music. I think Prince would disagree. Thank you Prince for creating this beautiful art. I bought the album and enjoy this song thanks to Prince. You should be thanking Prince.

  • @chestveeg

    Sounds like a non-Black persn comment.

  • @lisadillwill No, I'm black . I just know the Lord Jesus. Also I have owned the song for a long time. I know the song for what it is. And your influenced by what you see not what you hear.

  • @chestveeg I think you are 100% correct. Certainly in art, different people see or hear different things, but the message is not about black vs white or rich vs poor. It is about the trick that satan has commited getting people to believe that the world's problems are about social issues. Keep people focused on black and white, and they will miss the real issue - Jesus.

  • @chestveeg I disagree...I think this video represents what this song is about. The colonization of our minds began a long time ago and we are seeing the effects of it today, more than ever.

  • @pandadub exactly! and we see it more than whoever!

    Time for some collective self defence: X act Lee

  • @chestveeg Are you acknowledging that one's view of an art is right or wrong...misinterpeted by one's own experience's??

    Who's really missing the point here:) PEACE!

  • @MrKenndawg there is no absolute...its all relative.

  • @chestveeg this song has nothing to do with Jesus.

  • Deep, and thoughtful.. Thank you.

    

  • i love this song,i love this song,i love this song,i love this song,i love this song,i love this song,i love this song,i love this song,i love this song,i love this song,i love this song,i love this song,

  • @SuperRedfighter me too...Lol!!!

  • love the video to this, i sampled this song for on of my tracks, called "Rollin Up" hit my channel and check it out ;) Much love from Minneapolis MN where we bleed Purple!

  • @bertrandshoberg Thanks for the Purple Love..I will definitely check it out!!

  • One of the Prince songs in the last 10 years. A classic IMO. Michael B. and Sonny T., they just groove like hell.

  • Love this song. It has always reminded me a bit of Jimi Hendrix (the guitar playing, anyway).

  • @psychodelicide im sure tht He channeled Jimi for this one!! Peace and Love to you!

  • @hempmomma Definitely. Peace and Love to you too. :-)

  • I would love to meet him, I have this cd as well and I never really listened to this song.. but it almost makes me want to bump this song at my school and convey the message he does in this song.. I'm a poet so this is beautiful to me.

  • @Edog2345 i would love to meet Prince as well. He is such an inspiration. Thank you for your comments. I felt the need to put images with the words of this very strong song. Eye am glad that you have received it well.

    Peace unto you!
