Jimi Hendrix's, "Burning of the Midnight Lamp"
The Lyrics:
The Morning is dead, and the day is too.
There's nothing left to greet me, but the Velvet Moon.
All my Loneliness I have felt today,
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away.
There's nothing left to greet me, but the Velvet Moon.
All my Loneliness I have felt today,
It's a little more than enough to make a man throw himself away.
Why:
This hard-rocker with great guitar-effects almost drowns the sorrow of the lyrics which mentions about a guy who's lonely everyday.

Jimi Hendrix's, "Manic Depression"
The Lyrics:
"Music sweet music, I wish I could caress (in a kiss). Manic depression's a frustrating mess!"
Why:
'The song does a great job describing the emotional Tilt-a-whirl that a lot of artists faced as virtual overnight media darling's. Welcome to the machine.
