Castles Made Of Sand Lyrics


Castles Made Of Sand
  • This is one of Hendrix' most autobiographical and personal songs. He hated talking about his past, and avoided it during press conferences and interviews.
  • Hendrix played all of the lead guitar parts backwards, then rewound the recording of the lead guitar parts to the song to get that effect you hear in the beginning and in the middle of the song.
  • Hendrix' mother was a Cherokee Indian, and in this song he identifies with his heritage as a Native American.
  • Hendrix read the words for this song as a poem instead of singing them.
  • The Red Hot Chili Peppers were all big fans of Jimi Hendrix and often perform this song live.
