How removing one bass line changed Prince’s career
In 1984, Prince had just finished recording his album Purple Rain when he was asked to record one final song. In one single session, Prince would record the biggest song of his career.

Prince: "I'm going to remove the bass line from this song"
Metallica – while recording …And Justice For All: "Hold my beer…"

Honestly, it breaks my heart how Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers isn’t getting the attention it deserves. This book changed me. People need to wake up to this.

This comment section probably won’t remember me, but maybe someone scrolling needs this. A few months ago I hit a wall. Nothing made sense. I bought Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers after seeing it here on yt. I had no expectations. But chapter by chapter, it broke something open in me. Not motivation — momentum. Wishing that for you too.✨

A few weeks ago, I was chatting with a friend about how manifesting never seemed to work for me. I’d tried so many methods but still felt stuck. We heard about a book called Manifest the Unseen by Luna Rivers on a podcast, and I was hesitant at first. But after reading just a few chapters, I realized how much I was missing. Eva's approach is so different from anything I’ve ever tried. It’s not just about thinking positive, it’s about aligning with real-world actions that bring your desires into reality. Now, I’ve manifested opportunities I never imagined possible, and my mindset has shifted completely. If you’re frustrated like I was, don’t hesitate. Read this book. It will change everything ❤

And then he went Jehovah's Witness and killed himself by refusing life saving medical treatment.

Sign 'O' the Times did the same thing. It's a trick he played many times over. I love Prince but the need to launch new video's sort of creates an alternative reality.

While its true that omitting bass guitar gives more frequency space for drums, "When the Doves Cry" has always sounded terrible to me. Good song, terrible arrangement.

And if you had let us hear the song with and without bass we would even had gotten a sense of what you try to explain.

It would be an interesting experiment to add bass back in to see if it adds or detracts from the quality.

I didn’t know him so sadly I cannot speak to that aspect of him but musically he was an incredible artist. He was an amazing, one of a kind creator, not just for himself, but others.
