One Rainy Wish

It is just gorgeous... this dude could speak volumes and the idea of an undying love, a peaceful love, yielding beauty for another to enjoy is intoxicating. And yeah, when he kicks in the "I have never..." it gives me chills. I really wish this dude wasnt dead. Nobody can touch this song or 1983... just not possible. To me. And this is a song that describes a personal love. He wishes he could tell somebody about this dream he had - and isnt that the part about love that is so amazing? The fact that you have to live it to understand it? This song comes close though. Genius.

This, along with "One Rainy Wish" and "Bold As Love" may be lyrically the best Hendrix ever wrote about love.

There is no more powerful feeling that part about 45 seconds in or so when the line "I have never laid eyes on you" kicks in. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL POWER BALLAD....20 YEARS BEFORE THEY WERE HUGE!!!

This song reminds me of a time when I actually met a beautiful girl who was sitting under a tree at a concert, and sure enough, her smile "stole my heart away." I'm still chasing after her to get it back, but when I hear this song, I'm reminded of how lucky I am to have actually experienced to some degree the beauty described by these lyrics.

the most powerful moment in this song is when jimi sings; "I have never Laid eyes on you Not before This timeless day But you woke and whoa Smiled my name And you stole My heart away A stole my heart away little girl, yeah All right !" and then the most incredible guitar

Golden rose, the color of the dream I had Not too long ago Misty blue and lillac too A never to grow old.

I love that part

I completely agree with jersey73 on the "I have never laid eyes on you" part. Its so great. This and Castles Made of Sand are my favorite Hendrix songs. Oh, and Brian May, the guitarist from Queen does a good cover of this on one of his solo albums. It's a really good cover, but of course not as good as the original.

this song is really incredible one of my favorites, when a song is that good you dont look for its meaning you just enjoy it and you let yourself go. highly recommended!!! love it..forever jimi!!! today 09/18..

I knew a girl Alischa who I spent a week with in a beach house. One of the moments that most stands out with her was on a rainy day. The only rainy day in my whole vacation.

Then there was my first date with my faveh g/f that also took place on a rainy day.

So this song is very personal for me because I never saw either one of them again.

meeting the girl of my dreams. it was the first day of school this year, and i sat down in my chemistry class, and she sat right next to me. i had only seen her once before, and i knew she already had a bf.

so as she was sitting in class, "so peacefully" she looked right at me in the eyes and stared. thats when the: I have never Laid eyes on you Not before This timeless day But you woke and whoa Smiled my name And you stole My heart away A stole my heart away little girl, yeah All right ! comes into play. from that day forward, we became best friends and i fell in love with her. but thats when she "stole my heart away" because she got mad at me, stopped talking to me, and i tried to move on and find another girl, but she had my heart.

l still love you Aleisha Ravsten!!! of op

"Misty blue and lilac too"

That line has to be one of the most beautiful lyrical rhymes of all time, or at least it is to me.
