Reseña

"First Rays of the New Rising Sun" es el álbum póstumo que intenta reconstruir el que habría sido el cuarto disco de estudio del artista, y es una obra esencial en la discografía de Jimi Hendrix. Lanzado en 1997 y compilado por su familia y su ingeniero de sonido, este trabajo reúne las grabaciones en las que Hendrix estaba trabajando antes de su muerte, mostrando la dirección musical que estaba explorando.

Por esta razón, el álbum es una fascinante mezcla de estilos. Jimi Hendrix se adentra aún más en el funk, el R&B y el soul, con canciones que son a la vez complejas y llenas de groove. De hecho, se percibe a un artista que busca un sonido más orgánico y centrado en la canción, con la participación de músicos como Billy Cox y Mitch Mitchell.

Además, el disco contiene algunas de las últimas grandes composiciones de Hendrix. Temas como "Angel", "Dolly Dagger" o "Freedom" son joyas que demuestran que su genio creativo seguía en plena ebullición. Consecuentemente, el álbum es un testimonio conmovedor de lo que podría haber sido y de la increíble música que el mundo perdió.

En definitiva, "First Rays of the New Rising Sun" es la aproximación más fiel al álbum que Jimi Hendrix nunca pudo terminar. Es una colección de canciones de una calidad extraordinaria que no solo sirve como un epitafio, sino que también se sostiene como una de las obras más importantes de su carrera. Por lo tanto, su escucha es imprescindible.

letra de Freedom
You got my pride
Hanging out of my bed
You're messin' around with my life
So I bought my lead
You even mess with my children
And you're screamin' at my wife, baby
Get off my back,
If you wanna get outta here alive

Freedom, That's what I want now
Freedom, that's what I need now
Freedom to live
Freedom, so I can give

You got my heart
Speak electric water
You got my soul
Screamin' and howlin'
You know you hook my girlfriend
You know The tracks don't mend
Well I don't need it now
I was trying to slap it out of her hand

Freedom, so I can give
Freedom, so I can give
Freedom, yeah
Freedom, that's what I need

You don't have to say that you love me
If you don't mean it
You'd better believe
If you need me
Or you just wanna bleed me
You'd better stickin' your dagger in someone else
So I can leave
Set me free

(Yeah)

Right on, straight ahead
Stay up and straight ahead
Freedom

letra de Izabella
Jimi:
"yeah, thank you very much. I'd like to do this song dedicated
To maybe A soldier in the army. Singin' about his old lady that
He dreams about and humpin' A machine gun instead or it could be
Could be A cat maybe tryin' to fall in love with that girl baby,
But A little bit too scared. That's where the problems come from
Sometimes isn't it? I meen the cat is really insecure A little bit
So the call girls groupies and they call girls this. And they call
Passive people hippies and bla bla, woof, woof, all down the line
That's because their not in love man that's what's happening. That's
The other half of A man, is woman. And we'd like to play A thing called
Izabella, and don't you ever forget it. "

Izabella
Girl, I dream about you every night
Every night
Hey, girl you know we got A war
Got A war to fight
So I think about you every day
Oh, and I hope you listen to me right

Hey, izabella
Girl, I'm fighting this war for the you
Hey little girl I fight this war for the children and the world and you
So I hope you hear me baby, yeah
Cause what I try to tell you is true
Hey

Izabella
I fight this war for the children and you
Hey girl, I said I fight this war for the children and you
Please save your love for me
Then I'll know the fightin' is true
Izabella
Hey
Izabella
I'm gonna fight this war against nature, my heart

Jimi:
"thank you very much. And I'd like to go on with another slow thing.
I'd like to get by with A little bit of jam messin' around with back
At the house. I think we're going to call "get my heart back together
Again"

letra de Night Bird Flying
She's just a nigh bird flyin' throught the night
Fly on
She's just a night bird making a midnight, midnight flight
Sail on, sail on
Well, she's flyin' down to me
But, 'til tomorrow got to set her free
Set her free

So all we got, baby, is one precious night
All we got is one precious night
Throw your blues and shoes and things
And lay it down under the bed
Just wrap me up in your beautiful wings,
Better hear what I say, yeah
Oh, carry me home
Please take me through your dreams
Inside your world I want to be

Until tomorrow no tears will be shed
Hold on 'til the sun gets out of bed
Hold on, hold on, baby
Fly on
AngelVer letra 4:21

letra de Angel
Angel came down from heaven yesterday
She stayed with me just long enough to rescue he
And she told me a story yesterday,
About the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea
And then she spread her wings high over me
She said she's gonna come back tomorrow

And I said "fly on my sweet angel,
Fly on through the sky,
Fly on my sweet angel,
Tomorrow I'm gonna be by your side"

Sure enough this morning came unto me
Silver wings silhouetted against the child's sunrise
And my angel she said unto
"today is the day for you to rise,
Take my hand, you're gonna be my man,
You're gonna rise"
And she took high over yonder

And I said "fly on my sweet angel,
Fly on through the sky,
Fly on my sweet angel,
Forever I will be by your side"

Broken glass was all in my brain
Cuttin' screamin' crying in my head
Broken glass was all in my brain

Here comes Dolly Dagger
Her love's so heavy, gonna make you stagger.
Dolly Dagger, she drinks her blood from a jagged edge... Ah Drink up baby

Been riding broomsticks since she was fifteen.
Blown out all the other witches on the scene.
She got a bull whip, just as long as your life.
Her tongue can even scratch the soul out of the devil's wife.

True words of love
To the end of time Charley Brown
Better get some highway and clear out of town.

Here comes Dolly Dagger,
Her loves so heavy it's gonna make you stagger.
Dolly Dagger, she ain't satisfied until she gets what she's after.
She drinks the blood from a jagged edge.
Better watch out baby, here comes your master,..
Drink up, drink right on up baby
Watch out devon and give me a little bit of that heaven

Dolly everybody get it on, get it on, get it on
Dolly everybody get it on, get it on, get it on

letra de Stepping Stone
I sure got the blues this morning, baby
Yeah! And I'm here to tell you about it
So you might as well pick up on it!
I'm a man
At least I'm tryin' to be
I've lived before
The other half of me
I've lived before
That you don't want me
But in this search
For nothing desperately
Oh, I'm tryin' tryin'
Not to be a fool
I'm tryin' tryin'
Lord to keep my cool, baby tryin' so hard to keep it together

After I find, baby
That true love of mine
I'm just rollin' screamin'
Cryin' flyin'
Can't be trusted, but busted
Rolling stone

You're a woman
At least you say you are
You're a woman
At least you look like you are
You're a woman
At least you taste like you are
But you can take it off
In bed with my guitar
And then you leave them
Throw me outside
To cry, cry
To the moon and the nighttime
Save my soul,
You can't find
All you want is a ticket to ride
After you show me everything
It did prove otherwise
You just rollin', screamin', cryin' good love is sometime, but can't be trusted
Steppin' stone
Steppin' stone
Steppin' stone
My FriendVer letra 4:36

[X]
letra de My Friend
Hey, look out for my glass up there, man!
That's my drink, man, that's my drink, alright...
Make it a double, or eh...
Somebody has to sing
Some body will sing?
Somebody will sing, right?
(I don't know!)

Y'all pass me that bottle,
And I'll sing you all a real song
Yeah!
Let me get my key, ahum!

Well, I'm looking through Harlem
My stomach squeal just a little more
A stagecoach full of feathers and footprints,
Pulls up to soap box door
Now a lady with a pearl handled necktie
Tied to the driver's fence
Breathes in my face,
Bourbon and coke possessed words
& "Haven't I seen you somewhere in hell,
Or was it just an accident? "
(You know how I felt then, and so:)

Before I could ask "was it the East or West side?"
My feet they howled in pain
The wheels of a bandwagon cut very deep,
But not as deep in my mind as the rain
And as they pulled away I could see her words
Stagger and fall on my muddy tent
Well I picked them up, brushed them off,
To see what they say,
And you wouldn't believe:
'Come around to my room, with the tooth in the middle,
And bring along the bottle and a president'

And eh sometimes it's not so easy, baby
Especially when your only friend,
Talks, sees, looks and feels like you,
And you do just the same as him
(Gets very lonely up this road, baby)
(Yeah, hmmm, yeah)
(Got more to say!)

Well I'm riding through la (huh),
On a bicycle built for fools
And I seen one of my old buddies
And he say, "you don't look the way you usually do"
I say, "well, some people look like a coin-box"
He say, "look like you ain't got no coins to spare"
And I laid back and I thought to myself, and I said this:
I just picked up my pride from underneath the pay phone,
And combed this breath right out of my hair
And sometimes it's not so easy
Especially when your only friend
Talk, sees, looks and feels like you,
And you do just the same as him

Just got out of a Scandinavian jail,
And I'm on my way straight home to you
But I feel so dizzy I take a quick look in the mirror,
To make sure my friend's here with me too
And you know good well I don't drink coffee,
So you fill my cup full of sand
And the frozen tea leaves on the bottom
Sharing lipstick around the broken edge
And my coat that you let your dog lay by the fire on
And your cat he attacked me from his pill-box ledge
And I thought you were my friend too
Man, my shadow comes in line before you
I'm finding out that it's eh not so easy
Specially when your only friend
Talks, looks, sees and feels like you,
And you do the same just like him

(Lord it's so lonely here, hmmm, yeah)
Yeah!
(Pass me that bottle over there...)
Yeah, yeah, okay...

letra de Straight Ahead
Hello, my friend
So happy to see you again
I was so alone
All by my self
I just couldn't make it

Have you heard, baby
What the winds blowing round
Have you heard, baby
A whole lot of peoples coming right on down

Communication, yeah
Is coming on strong
And don't give a damn, baby
If your hair is short or long, huh

I said, get out of your grave
Everybody is dancing in the street
Do what you know, don't be slow
You gotta practice what you preach
'Cause it's time for you and me
Come to face reality (it sounds like he says "fake reality")

Forget about the past, baby
Things ain't what they used to be
Keep on Straight Ahead
Keep on straight Ahead

Straight Ahead, baby
Straight Ahead, baby

We got to stand side by side
We got to stand together and organize
They say power to the people,
That's what they're screamin'
Freedom of the soul
Pass it on, pass it on to the young and old

You got to tell the children the truth
They don't need a whole lot of lies
Because one of these days, baby
They'll be running things
So when you give them love
You better give it right
Woman and child and man and wife
The best love to have is the Love Of Life

Pushing on Straight Ahead
Straight Ahead, baby

Hello my friend
It's so good to see you again
And I've been all by my self
I don't think I can make it alone
I gotta keep on pushing ahead

Belly Button WindowVer letra 3:36

letra de Belly Button Window
Well. I'm up here in this womb
I'm looking all around
Well, I'm looking out my belly button window
And I see a whole lot of frowns
And I'm wondering if they don't want me around

What seems to be the fuzz out there?
Just what seems to be the hang?
'Cause you know if ya just don't want me this time around,
Yeah I'll be glad to go back to Spirit Land
And even take a longer rest,
Before I'm coming down the chute again
Man, I sure remember the last time, baby
They were still hawkin' about me then
So if you don't want me now,
Make up your mind, where or when
If you don't want me now,
Give or take, you only got two hundred days
'Cause I ain't coming down this way too much more again

You know they got pills for ills and thrills and even spills
But I think you're just a little too late
So I'm coming down into this world, daddy
Regardless of love and hate
And I'm gonna sit up in your bed, mama
And just a grin right in your face
And then I'm gonna eat up all your chocolates,
And say "I hope I'm not too late"

So if there's any questions,
Make up your mind
'Cause you better give or take
Questions in your mind
Give it a take,
You only got two hundred days

Way up into this womb
Looking all around
Sure's dark in here
And I'm looking out my belly button window
And I swear I see nothing but a lot of frowns
And I'm wondering if they want me around.
