This song, I imagine, could have been written about Apollo 13. Look at the lyrics-
Drifting
On a sea of forgotten teardrops
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home
Drifting
On a sea of old heartbreaks
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home
It was 1970, less than six months before Jimi died. He loved the space program, science fiction, technology, etc.
Was this song his artistic expression of what it would have been like to be in such a predicament? We'll never know for sure but to me, this is how I think he tried to relate to it.
