Discover the story of the song > Castles Made of Sand – Jimi Hendrix

This song talks about different people who had dreams and built their own "castles" but eventually lost them. The first verse is about a man whose partner left him because of his drinking problem, and he cries outside while the neighbors gossip. The second verse is about an Indian boy who dreamed of being a warrior, but he was killed during his first battle. The third verse is about a girl who was crippled and wanted to die, but then saw a beautiful ship and changed her mind. In the end, the song reminds us that everything we build will eventually disappear.
