In honor of Prince: the worlds turns purple

Dunia kembali berkabung. Setelah ditinggalkan David Bowie, penyanyi Pop, Prince Rogers Nelson, tutup usia pada Kamis (21/4) dini hari waktu setempat.

Prince ditemukan sudah tidak bernafas di kediamannya, Paisley Park, Minnesota. Setelah ada pemberitahuan resmi dari pihak Prince, ungkapan bela sungkawa berdatangan dari seluruh penjuru dunia.

The worlds turn purple

Sebagai bentuk penghormatan, bangunan-bangunan di beberapa penjuru dunia dihiasi lampu LED berwarna ungu. Ini terjadi di banyak negara, seolah-olah dunia ini berubah menjadi ungu.

Even Niagara Falls turns purple too,

Big condolence

Kepergian Sang Legendaris ini tentunya memberikan duka bagi penggemarnya di dunia. Sesaat berita kematiannya tersebar, banyak karangan bunga dan lilin-lilin diletakkan di depan kediaman Prince. Bahkan terlihat pelangi di atas kediaman Prince, seolah ini merupakan pesan dari Prince kepada dunia, “I’m fine”. We’ll miss you, Prince!

It was Raspberry Beret. I was 4 years old. Yes, 4. I remember that I instantly loved it. “Mommy, who is that singing?” Seems weird but it’s true. More than a “once in a lifetime” artist… Just a ONCE IN FOREVER ARTIST. I’m still in shock as I write this and I feel this overwhelming grief. But, we should all turn away from that and HONOR this musician that changed all of our lives, our perspectives, our feeling, our whole being. From another planet? Probably. Royalty, for sure. Us worthy..? Laughable. They say don’t meet your idols… That they let you down. But, some of my greatest, funniest (yes, he was hilarious), and most prolific encounters and conversations about music came from the moments that I spent with him. It would be silly to say that he has inspired our music… It’s beyond that. He’s somewhere within every song I’ve ever written. I am sad, but I will smile when I think of every second that I had the fortune of being in his company. We have lost our greatest living musician. But his music will never die. Prince, NOTHING COMPARES… #RIPPrince
