Purple Haze

Purple Haze is one of Jimi Hendrixs most famous songs, released in 1967. Hendrix himself described the song as an abstract love story, but many interpret it as a reference to the use of psychedelic drugs, particularly LSD. The inspiration for the song came from a dream Hendrix had, where he found himself walking under the sea.
