she's so fine
Lonnie Youngblood & Jimi Hendrix Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So the hippies think she's in with time, time
Her hair glistens like robins on a deck
Branches attack me from her neck
She's so fine
She's so very very fine
The rain from a tree soaks into her mind, mind
Morning sign sounds just like a lock
All these signs are always a stock
She' s so fine
She's so very very fine
When I veer I get so near
But so far far far away
Listen to me today
We united just beside a leaf
The ground was hard underneath, her her
She's so fine
The lyrics of Lonnie Youngblood and Jimi Hendrix's song "She's So Fine" is a description of a mesmerizingly beautiful woman. The song uses nature and hippie culture references to depict the woman’s beauty. The first verse refers to the woman wearing a bell clock around her neck, which makes the hippies think she's in with time. The bell clock symbolizes the woman's ability to stand out from others and be unique. The use of the word "hippies" refers to the counterculture of the 1960s where people rejected traditional values and sought alternative lifestyles.
In the second verse, the song uses nature imagery to allude to the woman's beauty. Her hair glistens like robins on a deck refers to the way the sun shining on the feathers of a bird. The branches attack me from her neck symbolizes the long and curvy neck of the woman, which is compared to the branches of a tree. The use of the words "attack me" indicates that the woman's beauty is overpowering.
The chorus repeats the same line "She's so fine, she's so very very fine," emphasizing the woman's attractiveness. The final verse talks about how the singer is drawn to the woman but always ends up being far away from her.

Amazing. He lives on forever in another dimension as we listen to the immense gifts Mr.Jimi Hendrix left on this planet🎶🎶
@brigetteguilliams5658
Love listening to Hendrix. Just imagine what heights he would have soared to if he hadn't left us so soon
@BBINGHAM032352
It would have boggled our minds by 1975. He probably would have mellowed out and signed on with Motown for a wonderful career into the 1980s and 1990s.

He did reach the top. But this shows how versatile he was.
