Royal Breakup Causes Melancholy.

In Jimi Hendrix's song titled "The Wind Cries Mary", a very sad and dismal mood is set in place. Hendrix uses very dark and gloomy phrases that gives his audience the visual of a place that would appear to be a ghost town. By saying that "The jacks are in their boxes and the clowns have all gone to bed", Hendrix is able to illustrate a place that is void of any spirit and fun. The phrase, "A broom is drearily sweeping up the broken pieces of yesterdays life" validates the idea that life now is not the same as it was then. Perhaps this is because "A queen is weeping" and "A king has no wife". Did the king and queen go through a breakup? Is the whole town affected by this royal separation? A place that used to be lively is now in a state of depression.
