A classic live version...
Hendrix said it was inspired by Sci-Fi novel Night of Light by Jose Farmer where another planet , once every 7 years a bizarre radiance rearranges physical reality. To cope with this, most people sleep for a two-week period. Only mystics, newcomers, and devotees to the bizarre religion are willing to stay awake and endure the two weeks of brilliance, where things materialize out of thin air. According to their religion, people undergo an unpredictable change, and many actually die. The good become better, and the bad become worse. you must develop as a being inclined towards acts of goodness, or a being inclined towards acts of evil. It is during those two weeks that the good are pitted against the bad, and it is also a rite of passage if you must develop as a being inclined towards acts of goodness, or a being inclined towards acts of evil. It is during those two weeks that the good are pitted against the bad, and it is also a time when their living god must face his successor.
First of all, It's freakin' Jimi. You cannot go wrong here...ever.
