Here I go again,messing with songs that shouldn't be messed with.
"The Wind Cries Mary" is a rock ballad written by Jimi Hendrix. Hendrix wrote the song as a reconciliatory love song for his girlfriend in London, Kathy Mary Etchingham. More recent biographical material indicated that some of the lyrics appeared in poetry written by Hendrix earlier in his career when he was in Seattle.
According to his then girlfriend, Kathy Etchingham's, account, he wrote the lyrics after an argument with her about her cooking lumpy mashed potatoes, using "Mary" (Etchingham's middle name). Etchingham suggested that the line in the song "a broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterday's life" represents Hendrix sweeping up the broken dishes she threw as a result of the argument. |

Sounds like they had a very passionate relationship... complaining about lumpy potatoes...and smashing dishes...one of my numerous husband's...j/k...said mine were to smooth one time...like KFC ...so I just calmly picked up his plate ..scraped the potatoes off ...and set his plate back down...he never complained about my cooking again:)..I actually like them lumpy too...and hummm a makeup song....oh well...lol..But...I sure enjoyed listening to you sing...always do... whatever the style....:) |
