The night was born the moon turned fire red.
Said the night I was born the moon turned a fire red.
My poor mother cried, the gypsy was right and she fell down, right down dead

I float in liquid garden down in arizona red sand
I float in liquid gardens down in arizona red sand
I taste the honey from a flower named blue
and New York drowns while we held hands

My arrows are made of desire as far away as jupitur sulfer minds
My arrows are made of dessires far away as jupitur sulfer minds, down by the methane sea
My room is made of mirrors, I see you but
lord knows I cant see me

I make love to you little girl in your sleep
and ya felt no pain
I remember walkin in your dreams late at night
and Ive seen your smile tear stain.
And Im a million miles dimensions away from you
and Im in your picture frame, picture frame
In your picture frame.

    I'm pretty sure 'Voodoo Chile' is the 15 minute blues jam you're talking about. It's simply called 'Voodoo Chile'. Mitch Mitchell has two amazing drum solos, Jimi's playing is 'really outta sight', and the crowd is diggin' it... minus the loud feedback.

Gadjits, The
He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.

The Night We Met

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines: "Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet" So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other: "I had all and then most of you" Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart "Some and now none of you" Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship. This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
