Little Wing Lyrics
With a circus mind
That's running wild
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
And fairly tales
With a thousand smiles
She gives to me free
It's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything
hmmm, I think it's about his mom. Since she died when he was so young
I believe it is about all the women (or perhaps just one) that come into your life that you love with all your heart and soul but for whatever reason you have to set free. Perhaps because you are a wanderer and they are not... Perhaps her dreams do not coincide with your own... or a myriad of reasons... So you set her free... She will go on her way without you, but she will always be a part of you. She is your Little Wing. Her memory alone lifts you. I have a girl in my life just like this. I love her with all my being, but i know we can't be together. And i want nothing but her to be happy.
@Its2BeXped This is exactly what I feel listening to this song. Time goes by and you're fine however you're not really fine but you just have to live with it and accept reality. Maybe the song is just about that memory - "Her memory alone lifts you." It makes me sad and happy at the same time.

This song is really cool, kinda ballady. The lyrics look as if she's in his head, like a guardian angel. Hendrix was often slightly out of it wen he wrote songs tho so mayb thats where the ideas come from ;-)
Love and psychedelia, that's what this song is about. :D

my post is backed by an interview with jimi yall. this song is about how he had relationships with dozens of the most coveted women on earth of his time(lucky bastard)...anyway, about these girls he said "they're all one girl to me" and this is the concept of little wing. she has to fly on cause they both want to have sex with other people but what they experienced is implied to have been great nonetheless. so it wasn't like they were prostitutes...just free love bandaids or groupies..hehe. FUCK 50 cent, jimi is the eternal black pimp, and the pimp of all nationalities as well.
@Atemporal ummmm black pimp??? Jimi was alive during the "Love generation" many people if not most of these people growing up during this time had sex with many... Jimi Hendrix was a staple in what could be done with the guitar he was like the albert Einstein of physics to the physics of the guitar ....BB King without a doubt had sex with just as many if not more women then Hendrix all the same It has nothing to do with the color of the mans skin but the time and period they experienced ... are you experienced ?

LSD
Does anyone else think this is about marijuana or some type of drug? I mean C'mon, It does make sense! "Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams and fairly tails" (Probably the effect of the drug, or a methephor for how it feels like) ... "When I'm sad, she comes to me" (He used drugs when he was sad) "With a thoushand smiles she gives to me free" (how the drug makes you feel like) "Take anything you want from me"... I don't really think I have to explain much if you're in this context alredy...
We all have mind and body, but both are not more real than our spirit. We often think that our inspiration comes from the mind, of reason, which in most true, but the more successful is our creation, we realize that it comes from the soul, where the spirit is housed.
For this reason I will interpret the meaning of this song from a different perspective, from a biblical perspective, known to every spirit.
The first paragraph corresponds to a metaphorical description of an innocent woman in a place something like the garden of paradise. This is Eve in the Garden of Eden, before sin.
The second and last paragraph represents a repentant Adam, after having tasted the tree of knowledge, being comforted by an Eve who recognizes her guilt.
As we know Adam and Eve represent respectively the spirit of every man and woman today. The actions described in the Bible committed by both we still keep making them even today.
This song teaches us that we must recognize that we are born children of God, Who is our Father, that we were made in His image and likeness, but even if we fall into the temptation of the enemy, we must be aware that it is our sin that leads to spiritual death, which is why we must repent, to achieve forgiveness and eternal life.
With that said, with reason could be his mother or any casual girl in his life, but from spiritually view, is really a REMINDER of our own status before judgement.
