Castles Made of Sand- jimi hendrix

This song definitely makes you want to reflect about all those dreams you've once had; and makes you wonder what ever happened to them. This song has so much emotion and meaning to it, which is why Hendrix is such a cherished member of music history.

powerful lyrics

a true poet

hail....

I think it's more about someone's expectations in life.
Just as you're about to achieve something, or reach a goal - it's taken away from you.
Jimi explored all emotions however, and came up with songs that were upbeat, rebellious and, well, just pure genius.

I see where you're coming from with the dream metaphor though!

It's so nice to be virtual friend, isn't it?

idk what hendrix intended this to be about but to me it's sorta about ur dreams in life. "Castles made of sand melt into the sea eventually" Castles are places you can't live any more and thus represent dreams. and being made of sand means that you didn't build ur dreams with something decent you just took a few minutes to build a sand castle. and all castles made of sand melt into the sea means any dream that was sloppily put together will eventually die. idk thats just what i interpret from it

a true Legend, rock on Jimi!!!

It just makes me a true smileydog

I just watched the gripping documentary of Jimi's life, his brother told about "Castles Made Of Sand". You are so correct. His soul weeps through his guitar.

this song teaches a lesson about painful reality in my opinion
