One of the comments from the video "Re: the chile vs child debate, when I see the "chile" version it reminds me of Kesey's famous peyote chile from Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, and when I see the "child" version it makes me think that Jimi was well aware of connecting to and working in the spirit realm of the energy he was descended from and drawing upon."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_cd7F4faXg Sorry, but you just gotta love the lyrics of Little Wing. ;)

Voodoo Chile by Jimi is a favorite though.

And who can forget All Along the Watchtower?

Post by: Soulyss on January 16, 2010, 04:34:45 PM: I have to go with something by Alejandro Escovedo, few people outside of Austin Texas have heard of him but I think he's one of the best song writers active today, I make it a point to see him whenever he comes to Northern California.

Video and audio quality isn't the best but this song was probably the closest he ever came to having a radio hit.

Here's another, it's a reunion show for a band he was in 10 years ago.

Post by: 1Boner on January 19, 2010, 12:07:32 PM: A true classic, performed by one of the greats!! :salute

The lyrics are a little deep for most to comprehend :headscratch:, but repeated listening will most certainly enlighten you to the heartfelt universal meaning of the words. :pray

It's beautiful man, just beautiful. :cry

Post by: Tac on January 20, 2010, 04:45:17 AM: Savatag's 'Believe' , part of 'Street: A Rock Opera' album.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J0FawK4G_AY

part of the song:

...
Your childhood eyes
were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings
You needed

But when you had to add them up
You found that they
were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins repeated

And for all the
years you borrowed
And for all the tears you cried
And for all the fears
you had to keep
inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I
hear your screams

Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make
your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till Time wasted me

I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
'Cause the persons I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
And I hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can't pay

...
