Well she’s walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that’s running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
That’s all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I’m sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
It’s alright she says it’s alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything
Fly on little wing
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing
It is 2019 I am 36 years old, this is the first I have ever hear this song, it's 2:30 am. Been looking up outlaw country music didn't know it was even a thing. I have never hear a piece of music that so moved my soul. Late to the party but never to late to be a fan.
Husband and I are huge fans, was at his last show at Alpine Valley. My husband was in a coma this year for a few days while in the hospital with liver failure, I played him Little Wing constantly to bring him back to me as he would play it for me every night as we got ready for bed. He remembered me playing it to him, he could hear the music...SRV has always had a special place with us, but Little Wing means the world to myself and my husband.
Jimi, SRV, Clapton, who cares? They're all incredible and put their own soul into every note, so just relax and enjoy them all for what they are, gifts from God above!
Listening to this right now while SRV is staring at me the whole time. I can imagine him mentally saying to me "you'll never learn how to play this one, kid."
I remember seeing him at a all day concert called 1 for the sun. He was like 2nd act on . It was like 1pm and hardly anyone there. I got to go to front row. And I stood in amazement just watching him for about 45 minutes. Speechless the best I have ever seen. He laughed at me and said I must be on some good shit. I didn't move just stood there in amazement
Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and Zebras
And Moonbeams and fairy tales
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind
When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me free
It's alright, she says it's alright
Take anything you want from me
Anything
