"there's something about the look in your eyes Something I noticed when the light was just right It reminded me twice that I was alive And it reminded me that you're so worth the fight" * When I look at you I feel alive, my life seems better My biggest fear will be the rescue of me Strange how it turns out that way, yeah * I'm afraid to give my heart to you "Could you show me, dear, something I've not seen? Something infinitely interesting?" * could you show me a true love? |

| The Jimi Hendrix Experience – The Wind Cries Mary Lyrics | 3 years ago |
| Jimi wrote this in 1967 for Are You Experienced?; it was inspired by his girlfriend at the time, Kathy Mary Etchingham. He\'d gotten into an argument with her about her cooking. She got very angry and started throwing pots and pans and finally stormed out to stay at a friend\'s home for a day or so. When she came back, Jimi had written "The Wind Cries Mary" for her.\n\nKathy Mary recalled, "We\'d had a row over food. Jimi didn\'t like lumpy mashed potato. There were thrown plates and I ran off. When I came back the next day, he\'d written that song about me. It\'s incredibly flattering." (Source Q magazine February 2013)\nJimi wrote the song quietly in his apartment and didn\'t show it to anybody. After recording "Fire" (which was about his sexual relationship with Kathy), he had 20 minutes to spare in the recording studio, so he showed it to the band. They managed to record it in the 20 minute period they had. The band later recorded several more takes of the song, but they all seemed very sterile and they decided to go with the original recording.\n\nsource: https://www.songfacts.com/facts/jimi-hendrix/the-wind-cries-mary | |
