JIMI HENDRIX - The wind cries Mary - Stockholm, Sweden, 1967

After all the jacks are in their boxes
And the clowns have all gone to bed
You can hear happiness staggering on down the street.
Footsteps dressed in red
And the wind whispers mary
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken pieces of yesterdays life
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind, it cries mary
The traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed
The tiny island sags down stream
cause the life that lived is,
Is dead
And the wind screams mary
Uh-will the wind ever remember
The names it has blow in the past?
And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
It whispers no, this will be the last
And the wind cries mary

I could listen to this song a million times over and never get bored of it. Plus playing the song on guitar hero as loud as possible (bareable) on my marshall stack makes me feel on top of the world without any thoughts but the sound of the guitar.

the lyrics have so much meaning and the guitar speaks to me

@MrMoggyman i just meant to say that dylans influence was really big on him.

[MrMoggyman]

Ah Jimi....come home after a long days hard work........sit back in an easy chair.....and just let this song drift over your mind and wash all your cares away.

[MrMoggyman]

@WaleedDaGreat The only song Jimi did that was Dylan's was The Watchtower. Dylan states that Jimi's rendition of that is the definitive version of the song. What about: Purple Haze, Foxy Lady, Stone Free, Fire, Wind Cries Mary, Manic Depression, Voodoo Chile, Machine Gun etc etc All written and performed by Jimi Hendrix. Nuff said?

[WaleedDaGreat]

Man I don't mean to criticize but what would this guy have been without Dylan?

[Luukeeeehh]

@SuperSquatch1 I know, that's the saddest thing I've ever heard.

[esty268]

I will never understand why cameramen of the past filmed guitar players' faces instead of their hands..

[syZUp510]
