1) Root is a Czech metal legend from city of Brno founded in 1987 by Big Boss and Blackie. Root was one of the original pre-second-wave black metal bands, following in the footsteps of Bathory and Venom, while taking the genre in a more refined, less savage direction. Their style has since progressed towards a more epic, dark heavy metal sound with a clean-sung vocal approach, but their music can still be recognized as black metal at its core due to the unchanged ideology of the band. After the album Madness of the Graves (2003), Blackie left Root to concentrate on his band Cales. Blackie also played in side-project Entrails, an old school black-thrash metal band.

Little Wing
Root Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well shes walking through the clouds
With a circus mind thats running round
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams and fairy tales
Thats all she ever thinks about
Riding with the wind.
When Im sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
Its alright she says its alright
Take anything you want from me, anything
Anything.
Fly on little wing,
Yeah yeah, yeah, little wing
The lyrics of Root's cover song of Jimi Hendrix's Little Wing are a beautiful portrayal of a person's journey through their imagination. The singer begins by describing a woman who is lost in her thoughts, walking through the clouds with a circus mind that is full of dreams and ideas. Her mind is filled with images of butterflies and zebras, moonbeams and fairy tales. She only thinks of riding with the wind, which could be a metaphor for being free and unburdened.
The singer then turns to himself and describes how this woman uplifts him. When he is sad, she comes to him with a thousand smiles and gives them to him for free. She reassures him that everything will be alright and tells him to take anything he wants from her, anything at all. This woman could be interpreted as a symbol of the power of imagination and creativity, which can inspire and uplift others.
