In Their Own Story

The studio lights at Paisley Park hummed at two in the morning. Prince sat cross-legged on the control-room floor, headphones around his neck, watching a young engineer fumble with a tape splice. Outside, Minnesota snow dusted the parking lot in a thin white veil. He didn't look up. He just tapped a finger on the glass of the console—once, twice—signaling the engineer to hit record. The take that followed was the one that would make a stranger in a club in Osaka close her eyes and sway, never knowing the name on the jacket. Prince peeled off his headphones, smiled at no one in particular, and walked out into the cold. The tape kept rolling. It always kept rolling.
