Rare
Little Wing Lyric
Well she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running round
Butterflies and zebras and moonbeams
and fairytales That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind. When I'm sad,
she comes to me with a thousand smiles,
she gives to me free It's alright
she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me,
anything anything
Fly on little wing,Yeah
yeah, yeah, little wingSong Note : "This song was inspired by the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, a concert held during 3 days of the "Summer of Love" (1967) featuring The Who, The Byrds, Janis Joplin, and many others. Attended by about 200,000 music fans, it happened 2 years before Woodstock. Jimi wrote about the atmosphere at the festival as if it was a girl. He described the feeling as "Everybody really flying and in a nice mood." He named it "Little Wing" because he thought it could just fly away."
"This is one of the songs that had to be remixed just before the album was released when one of the master tapes went missing. No one ever found out what happened to the original tape but its been speculated that Jimi either accidentally left the tape in a taxi or purposely disposed of the tape because he wasn't satisfied with its sound."
"Hendrix has described this as being one of the few he likes from this album. He said "Little Wing" is "like one of those beautiful girls that come around sometimes." Hendrix enjoyed writing slow songs because it was easier to put emotion into them."
