Bold As Love - A Jimi Hendrix Classic!

ANGER!

He smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armor.
Green jealousy, envy waits behind every door, her fiery Green gown
snares at the grassy ground.


Blue are the life giving waters, taken for granted,
they quietly understand.


A once happy Turquoise army lay opposite and ready
but wonder why the fight is on.


But they're are all bold as love
they're all bold as love
Yeah, they're all bold as love
Just ask the axis


My Red is so confident, that he flashes tokens of war
and ribbons of euphoria
orange is young and full of daring
but very unsteady for the first go around.


My Yellow in this case is not so mellow in fact I'm trying to say,
it's frightened like me, and all these emotions of mine
keep tolling me from giving my life to a Rainbow like you,


But I'm A...yeah
I'm Bold as Love, yeah, yeah
Well I'm Bold, Bold as Love
Hear me talking
I'm Bold as love,
Just ask the axis, he knows everything.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah


This song is another classic by Hendrix. Even after many years since Hendrix's demise, people around the world still plays his songs. His greatest hits during his music career are timeless and soulful, which makes his stand out amongst the rest.

John Mayer did a cover for this too. Personally i think both Hendrix and him are great, just that Mayer's guitar tone is not of the same tone as Hendrix's. Even though people had commented that Mayer's version was better because of his impressive vocals, i think otherwise.

Here's the video to the music.
