| The Jimi Hendrix Experience – Purple Haze Lyrics | 4 years ago |
|
The song influenced by a dream Hendrix had after reading Philip Jose Farmer's "Night of Light" about a planet that was exposed to a strange light effect from its binary stars that could re-arrange physical reality, and can determine whether a person becomes a force for good or evil. But ultimately it was about infatuation with a woman. |

I have the original 4-part 12 inch, which contains the same "Radio Clash", "This is Radio Clash", Outside Broadcast," and "Radio Five" Here are the particulars: "Wait, wait Don't switch off the death Yes, we have the latest score (????) Islanders: 101 and Home Yard: 44" Should read: "Wait, wait Don't switch over to death Yes, we have the latest score Rebel Islanders: 101 and Home Yard: 44" "Like buckets of venom in (????) They've got a master plan Human wars over there And we'll come and knock 'em down" Should read: "Like buckets of venom in Khaki They've got a master plan You build walls over there And we'll come and knock 'em down" (seriously, the other version makes absolutely no sense) "This is Radio Clash Stealing information By his will as a (???) Use careful confirmation" this time, just replacing the ???: "By his will as a pestilence" Listen to the sample, you will hear that I am correct https://youtu.be/szlWof8MIeM |
