My Wild Love Lyrics
My wild love went riding,
She rode all the day.
She wrote to the devil
And asked him to pay.
The devil was wiser.
It's time to repent.
He asked her to give back
The money she spent.
My wild love went riding,
She rode to the sea.
She gathered together
Some shells for her hair.
She rode and she rode on.
She rode for a while.
Then stopped for an evening
And lay her head down.
She rode on to Christmas.
She rode to the farm.
She rode to Japan.
And we entered a town.
By this time the weather,
Had changed one degree.
She asked for the people
To let her go free.
My wild love is crazy,
She screams like a bird.
She moans like a cat,
When she wants to be heard.
My wild love went riding.
She rode for an hour.
She rode and she rested.
And then she rode on.
Ride, come on.
I hate it when everybody assumes that every song that Jim ever wrote is about drugs. If you knew anything at all about him, you'd know that he didn't believe in taking drugs in excess in the first place. He was an alcoholic, not a heroin junky. He frowned upon Pamela's habit of overusing the drug.
Anyway, I see this song as another poem backed by music. Of course, everyone should interpret the poems as the see it. Like he said, real poetry has no meaning.
thats stupid thats how jim died and he got the heroin from pam

i heard its about his soul......his wild love being his soul and how he sold it to the devil..............
I agree. That's why the lyrics indicate a horse (a mare) that "rides" and "lays her head down" and stops to rest. Horses are universal symbol of the soul. Now maybe he talks about his soul while he's tripping, or not. I'm not sure...

The song is about his girlfriend Pamela Courson's heroin addiction. She went riding could be a uphamism for using the drug.
Wow I'm amazed at the lack of comments on any of these songs. Hopefully someone will see this and make a comment though. But as for my interpretation of the song I beleive it's about Jim's girlfriend/wife/mistress whichever it may be on some type of hallucinagen and the "trip" that she had.
to me it is about adictions... she rode on meaning she went onto another drug... she rode and she rode on means the exact same doing drugs doing drugs... ofcorse its my interpetation.
It sounds to me like a tale from medieval times where a woman travels across the world escape the devils in her past. As oldskoolpunker said, it might be about drug addiction too.
this is an awesome song, i have no clue what it is about, but it is grand
I love the mystical feel of this song. It ties into Jim's whole affinity for Indians. I'm not saying the song is directly about drugs but it definitely seems like it had something to with a trip someone had or something like that.
yes mystical, yeah very eerie
i dont think Jim ever wrote a song negative about drugs. drugs were to him what Christ is to Christians. so i dont think it's about drugs. i think opinion head was right the first time. it's about a woman who asked the devil for a favor and then the devil retured and wanted his favor back, so she ran, and ran and ran, hiding from the devil. And she never stopped, she lived out the rest of her life, running from the devil she's in debt to, even though it drove her insane.
i think this song can go back on how alot of people live their lives always taking and takin and never giving back. it could be a metaphor for man kind in all.
peace.
Omg like Jim himself, Nihasa allows for his own vulnerabilities to be placed on high. Empathy is a gift one aquires through the immense pain said vulnerabilities leave one open to. But this isn't even worth ones reflection on. Hell I will ramble for days, make no sense at all if it means keeping the darkness a true American rebel/hero (sober or high you f@#$ idiots) introduced to A country suffering from P.T.S.D. What truly scares me is real intuition being sacrificed at the alter of yesterday's trippy drug orgy. Because that my friends, is something that you...
