Wind Cries Mary:
USING VINTAGE TECHNOLOGY, ALL SONGS WE'RE RECORDED TO ANALOG TAPE...
"I love fan feedback..."
After all the jacks are in their boxes, and the clowns have all gone to bed,
you can hear happiness staggering on down the street, footprints dress in red.
And the wind whispers Mary.
A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterday's life.
Somewhere a Queen is weeping, somewhere a King has no wife.
And the wind it cries Mary.
The traffic lights they turn blue tomorrowAnd shine their emptiness down on my bed,
The tiny island sags downstream 'Cos the life that they lived is dead.
And the wind screams Mary.
Will the wind ever remember. The names it has blown in the past,
And with this crutch, its old age and its wisdom It whispers, "No, this will be the last."And The Wind Cries Mary.
- "Songfacts.com": "Jimi wrote this in 1967 for Are You Experienced?; it was inspired by his girlfriend at the time, Kathy Mary Etchingham. He'd gotten into an argument with her about her cooking. She got very angry and started throwing pots and pans and finally stormed out to stay at a friend's home for a day or so. When she came back, Jimi had written "The Wind Cries Mary" for her. Kathy Mary recalled, "We'd had a row over food. Jimi didn't like lumpy mashed potato. There were thrown plates and I ran off. When I came back the next day, he'd written that song about me. It's incredibly flattering." (Source Q magazine February 2013)"
