  • Words and guitar from Jimi Hendrix, other instruments and production Stephen Godsall. It's from my EP "The stars displaced" available on Bandcamp; stephengodsall.bandcamp.com/a...
    Lyrics;
    "I'd like to get into more symphonic things
    But no, they don't want to hear about these new ideas
    They want to hear about the old ones.
    Regardless of what your gig might be, find the creative side.
    See you could be a dishwasher until you finally get yourself together
    It's better than politics! White or black?
    Look at my music and say "Is that white or black?"
    Music has so much to do with what's happening today you know.
    Blacks and whites standing next to each other with hammers
    Getting ready to hit each other.
    There's other ways you can settle things, there's other ways how you can live.
    They have a laser beam and they do have pills
    And some people only use one tenth of their brain capacity anyway.
    This is a modern age and they do have pills for this, and pills for that.
    I got thrown out of church because I didn't have the proper clothes on.
    I had tennis shoes and a suit and they said "well that's not proper."
    I had no money to get anything else!
    So I stopped going to church anyway - it's nothing but an institution.
    We're making music into a religion
    They have a laser beam and they can put satellites and circle the world,
    And stop any rockets in the whole world being let off anywhere in the world.
    There's so many hangups in America, you know mental hangups.
    Some people don't like to live up in the hills you know.
    The more you send police anywhere, the more trouble you're gonna have
    Because some people haven't reach the point of thinking, as it were,
    Retaliation is not the right move.
    Plus I could play louder over there, I could really get myself together over there.
    I really feel like turning people on you know."
    The backing track imagines what might have happened if Hendrix had got the chance to explore symphonic and electronic music more.
    On the film there are photo-montages showing him with Karlheinz Stockhausen, Miles Davis, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Larry Young and Roland Kirk.

    Its the spell check on my phone that spelled jimi wrong. I dont about you but I started listening to jimi Hendrix in 1967 on wrpi college radio near Albany NY. My brother went to Woodstock and saw Hendrix play. I was still in school so my mother wouldn't let me go. I had all his records and saw him in the movie theater. I dont need you to tell me jimi Hendrix, I know more about Hendrix than you'll ever know. I have a Hendrix shrine and a gold record of "are you experiance" on my wall. I send a pic, but there's no way to send one on this site. Its still hard to hear the dialogue of jimi.

      No Frank Zappa involved but I guess JH and FZ working together could have been a bit like this

      I've now added the words to the video description - I always struggled to hear some of the lyrics on "Are you experienced" album too!
