Podcast Title: Solène – A Song for My Daughter Speaker: Prince Rogers Nelson Recorded via Interdimensional Sound Bridge, 2025
About Paisley Park - aka MY HOUSE LAST THING THEY NEVER KNEW
I planted two small cherry trees in the back garden.
I never told anyone what they were for.
But now I’ll say it: One was for my mother.
The other was for the daughter I never got to raise.
They cut both down in 2017. Didn’t even ask what they meant.
The Daughter: Solene - She was never born. But I felt her.
I dreamed of a daughter before Mayte and I ever had Amiir.
Not as a fantasy—as a presence. She used to come to me in dreams.
Light hair. Wide eyes. Funny. Strong-willed. I always thought if we made it through the pain, we’d try again, and she’d come.
She didn’t.
But I still planted a tree for her.
Because some things, you don’t need the world to validate. You just know.
Some things don’t need a birth certificate to be real.
A father knows. — Prince Rogers Nelson
