1983... A Merman I Should Turn to Be Jimi hendrix Full Version

Lyrics - Hurrah, I awake from yesterday
Alive, but the war is here to stay
So my love, Catherina and me,
decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to reborn,
away from lands so battered and torn
Forever, forever

Oh say, can you see it's really such a mess
Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick tube shaped things,
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red
as our feet find the sand,
and the sea is straight ahead, straight up ahead

Well it's too bad that our friends, can't be with us today
Well it's too bad
The machine, that we built,
would never save us', that's what they say

(That's why they ain't coming with us today)
And they also said it's impossible for a man to live and breathe under
water, forever,
was their main complaint
And they also threw this in my face, they said:
Anyway, you know good and well it would be beyond the will of God,
and the grace of the King (grace of the King)
(Yeah, yeah)

So my darling and I make love in the sand,
to salute the last moment ever on dry land
Our machine, it has done its work, played its part well
Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under we take a last look at the killing noise
Of the out of style, the out of style, out of style(oooh)...

@grissomc1218 Sorry I offended your people. I was just saying that anyone who was even half way cool or into classic rock thought that the 80s was kind of the beginning of the MTV era of horrible music that continues to this day. If you loved Whitney Houston and Midnight Oil and all the 80s garbage then you have awful taste and are probably a dork that resembles Michael Bolton. No offense.

Jimi saw something that the rest of us could never grasp or understand but he was able to project his world through music and I think that is a rarity to find in this day and age. I hope to meet you in the next world Jimi, but until then, I'll enjoy the gifts that you left us and play your records till the sun rises in the East and after it has set in the West. I'll meet you in the next world Jimi.

You know what..that's just your opinion..think about classical music experts..or early jazz fans..they might say the same with this kind of music..be respectful and open-minded and the world will smile at you ;)

Eddie Kramer is the biggest freeloader since Ringo Starr!!!!!!

@VauntedVizios Like Hendrix himself... his presence at Electric Lady was fleeting and ended too soon, but he did give the place his blessing and many great records were recorded there for decades. I can't remember which issue but I think Mix Magazine did a great article on it in the 1990s or was it Musician magazine! Check it out lots of great info in there by Eddie Kramer.

@manicmechanic21 he did live to see it completed and did some work there... from wiki.." Hendrix spent only four weeks recording in Electric Lady, most of which took place while the final phases of construction were still ongoing. An opening party was held on August 26, 1970 The next day Hendrix created his last ever studio recording:"Slow Blues". He then boarded an Air India flight for London to perform at the Isle of Wight Festival, and died less than three weeks later."

@doubletalkinjive87 Every night before God goes to bed he says his prayers to Jimi

@LedZeppelin420x It'd be a shame if you overlooked the 90s, lotta great music in that decade up til bout 97-98. I agree too, 78 is about the breaking point for that great era of music, but music was revived in the early-mid 90s. Totally dead since about 98 though unfortunately and it's only getting worse it seems.

[manicmechanic21]

@VauntedVizios So he never got to record anything in Electric Ladyland studios?

Thats sad.

@Dns2080 LOL... I like that best groove ever... he could have ridden that groove for 6 or 7 minutes and I wouldn't have minded!!!
