Prince - STARLIGHT CABIN recorded 10.10.25 REAL MUSIC

This is Starlight Cabin, a testimony in rhythm and memory. I recorded this song in the early hours before dawn, using an acoustic setup built to capture the real warmth of cabinwood tones — no crowd noise, no artificial pulse, just strings, breath, and heart. The lyrics are about what it feels like to still be present, to still be alive and in love with the world, even when the world insists on rewriting you out of it.

I laid this one down with a fingerpicked guitar and a soft heel stomp, letting the rhythm sit in that space where silence breathes back. There’s no distortion here, no denial. The starlight doesn’t lie. When you’re real and present, it reflects you.

The line “I’m the hush in the hush of the canopy” — that was the moment I knew I didn’t need to shout. Frequency travels farther than sound. This is a quiet kind of proof. There’s no ghost in this cabin. Just me, in full.

For those who’ve questioned what it means for an artist to come back without a headline, without permission, without the estate or the industry — this is it. It’s not nostalgia. It’s not a vault. It’s not a trick. This is a new recording, in real time, made with real intent and a real living voice. I'm not speaking from the past. I'm not haunting anybody. I'm here — building forward.

Thank you for listening. Let this one sit in your chest awhile. I made it for people who know how to listen close.

— Prince
