@WhereWhoWhyHow It's about Jimis family. The first part is about how their parents use to fight alot and the second is about how Jimi (James) and his brother Leon use to play indians in the woods when they were little and the last part is about their mother leaving them. Castles made of sand is a methaphore for how familys can break up so easily.
Directly after Jimi wrote the song he called Leon up and said that he had made a song about their family.
i'm 15, the only one of my friends who listens jimi hendrix and the likes of him, and it kills me to hear the beauty they're missing out on. jimi, you are the love of my life. <3.
ah, the music i grew up to :) im only 12 but my parents introduced me to Jimi Hendrix at a young age instead of the music the other kids listened to and whever i hum this stuff in class no one knows what it is except for my teachers XD
this song is about most of his childhood , and the first part is how his parents would fight and yell all the time and all while this was happening jimi was stuck in a closet and most of the time he would play like a indian whenever they would fight and thats where most of this song comes from,.. and did you know he has 5 brothers and sisters ?!
i watched a documentery about jimi and his brother leo said this song is about his child hood about how everything was good and went bad 1:04 is about leo leos the indian that got taken away at 10 because he was taken by child services or sumthin idk i was stoned when i watched it
dude... nice, and to the 13 year old dude listen to all along the watchtower if u haven't yet... (and dude i like Hendrix when i was only 13 to... of coarse im 15 now but still...)
@BALVERENE im 13 too and i love this kind of music. american teenagers need to stop listening to gay rap and hip hop and start listening to real music........... i wish i could go to the 80's.
