May I love you away from the evils of today to the dreams of tomorrow, you know heaven has no sorrow.
Jimi HendrixIt's very far away, it takes about a half and a day to get there, if we travel by my... dragon-fly. No, it's not in Spain, but all the same, you know, it's a groovy name. And the wind's just right... Hang on, my darling, hang on if you wanna go. Hear it's a really groovy place, with just a little bit Spanish Castle Magic.
Jimi HendrixRoom Full Of Mirrors, that's more of a mental disarrangement. This says something about broken glass used to be all in my brain.
Jimi HendrixAnd it's no war games, because they all keep the same place. But like the solar system is going through a change soon and it's going to affect the Earth in about 30 years.
Jimi HendrixI'm trying to get more into other things, where reality is nothing but each individual's way of thinking.
Jimi HendrixA person would have to change himself in order to be a living example of what he's singing about.
Jimi HendrixI used to live in a room full of mirrors; all I could see was me. I take my spirit and I crash my mirrors, now the whole world is here for me to see.
Jimi HendrixImagination is the key to my lyrics. The rest is painted with a little science fiction.
Jimi HendrixDefinitely, and it's getting more spiritual. Pretty soon I believe people will have to rely on music to get some kind of peace of mind, or satisfaction, or direction, actually. More so than politics, the big ego scene. You know it's an art of words... Meaning nothing. Therefore you will have to get an earthier substance, like music or the arts.
Jimi HendrixMusic makes me high on stage, and that's the truth. It's like being almost addicted to music.
Jimi HendrixThe way I write things, I just write them with a clash between reality and fantasy mostly. You have to use fantasy to show different sides of reality; it's how it can bend.
Jimi HendrixSo you want to be married, oh baby, trying to put me on a chain, ain't that some shame? You must be losing your weak little mind.
Jimi HendrixI love Dylan. I only met him once, about three years ago, back at the Kettle of Fish on MacDougal Street. That was before I went to England. I think both of us were pretty drunk at the time, so he probably doesnโt remember it.
Jimi HendrixHappiness is within you... so unlock the chains from your heart and let yourself grow- like the sweet flower you are. I know the answer- just spread your wings and set yourself free.
Jimi HendrixThe story of life is quicker then the blink of an eye, the story of love is hello, goodbye.
Jimi HendrixI didn't know it was anger until they told me that it was, like with destruction and all that. But I believe everybody should have like a room where they can get rid of all their releases, where they can do their releases at. So my room is a stage.
Jimi HendrixWe want our sound to go into the soul of the audience, and see if it can awaken some little thing in their minds... 'Cause there are so many sleeping people.
Jimi HendrixNow if I don't meet you no more in this world, then I'll, I'll meet you in the next one, and don't be late, don't be late, cause I'm a voodoo chile.
Jimi HendrixYou don't have to be singing about love all the time in order to give love to the people. You don't have to keep flashing those words all the time.
Jimi HendrixI'm the one that's got to die when it's time for me to die, so let me live my life the way I want to.
Jimi HendrixI just hate to be in one corner. I hate to be put as only a guitar player, or either only as a songwriter, or only as a tap dancer. I like to move around.
Jimi HendrixHey Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand? I'm going out to find my woman, caught her messing around with another man.
Jimi HendrixJesus shouldn't have died so early and then he could have got twice as much across. They killed him and then twisted so many of the best things he said. Human hands started messing it all up and now so much of religion is hogwash.
