 |
|
Hello all,
I love Jimi Hendrix. Especially his slow ballad, "Little Wing." I have a question. This song's lyrics says "Well she's walking through the clouds with a circus mind that's running 'round ..." I wonder what "a circus mind" mean. Does anyone advise me please? Thanks. |

| It's not a common expression, Sunao, but Hendrix's own creation. I can think of a lot of possibilities, but the other descriptions of "her" in the song would be clues as to what he meant. Think of the qualities of a circus - fun, a lot of things happening at the same time, amazing feats, bravery, etc. Do any of them seem to match his description of her? |
