Malmsteen, Yngwie - Spanish Castle Magic Lyrics






It's very far away
It takes about a half and a day to get there
If we travel by my uh, dragon-fly
No it's not in Spain
But all the same you know, it's a groovy name
And the wind's just right.
Hey!

Hang on my darling
Hang on if you wanna go
Here it's a really groovy place
It's uh, just a little bit of uh, said uh, Spanish Castle Magic.

The clouds are really low
And they overflow with cotton candy
And battle grounds red and brown
But it's all in your mind
Don't think your time on bad things
Just float your little mind around
Look out! Ow!

Hang on my darling, yeah
Hang on if you wanna go
Get on top, really let me groove baby with uh Just a little bit of Spanish Castle Magic.
Yeah baby, here's some
Yeah, OK babe, OK
It's still all in your mind babe
Ow!
Yeah!

Ah!

Hang on my darling, hey
Hang on, hang on if you wanna go
And it's happening, oh no, damn hey! That's right baby, listen
A little bit of Spanish Castle Magic
Hey!
Little bit of Spanish Castle Magic
Hey hey!
I can't uh, sing this song, no
Yeah, OK baby
Get on baby
Yeah
It's all in your mind baby
Little bit of daydream here and there
Oh!
Yeah!
Ooh! yeah!
Ow!
Everything's gonna be alright!

Malmsteen, Yngwie Spanish Castle Magic Comments
  1. T.... v....

    Got dam!!!!!!!

  2. A.... V....

    73 people thought, that this is probably a song by
    spice the prostitutes girls.

  3. A.... W....

    I think if jimi could see this he would say "man this cat can play". Great cover even the vocals are fantastic too.

  4. P.... C....

    Pretty damn nice & a sweet nostalgia !

  5. �.... ....

    This is the best cover!!!!!! This is Yngwie J. Malmsteen

  6. G.... B....

    Joey Turner holds his weight...cant deny the man...

  7. Z.... T....

    The lead singer looks like Nigel Tufnel

  8. T.... V....

    Ritchie Blackmore ... "His moves are a bit creepy ..."

  9. c.... ....

    Vocals are awesome too

  10. c.... ....

    Learning this song now !!!!

  11. c.... ....

    This is so awesome there’s nothing to listen to after.

  12. c.... ....

    Wow never liked yngvie until now

  13. o.... ....

    He lost steam at 4:30 but the first solo was 🔥

  14. S.... B....

    What energy with a amazing song pure magic...

  15. P.... P....

    Prince live 2009 does the best cover of this song, hands down!

  16. T.... C....

    I love at 1:50 he pushes that mic out of the way like a BOSS!!

  17. R.... R....

    While I fully respect the prowess of Yngwie, his version of Spanish Castle Magic evokes no emotion. I don’t want to cry or anything.

  18. S.... B....

    Still gives you the shivers what a song.what a man.amazing.

  19. S.... m....

    nothing to say, great guitarist, but not a good composer...

  20. d.... ....

    I love Jimi, but anyone who disses Yngwie is clearly just jealous.
    Absolutely monstrous drummer too!

  21. M.... S....

    2:35 yeah.... he's like, "This is so fucking easy!!"

  22. k.... ....

    F... amazing cover. The only one that compares is Melvin taylor's voodoo chile's cover. My good lord this is music !!!!!

  23. M.... A....

    Joe Lynn Tuner is best vocalist of this age Trial by Fire Malmsteen band

  24. �.... ....

    cool‼️

  25. M.... A....

    on minute 2:30 his sustain is from hell awesome

  26. r.... l....

    this sounds like 80's hairband crap, such a disappointment. Hendrix cannot be touched even Yngwie knows it, ask him

  27. M.... B....

    Man the guitar player is an attention whore.

  28. f.... ....

    Reprise géniale du grand hendrix

  29. f.... ....

    Yngwies best Hendrix cover ever. So proud of him here.

  30. j.... b....

    This sounds nothing like Hendrix. Pretty lame for name sake but an okay lead if you're into 80's hair bands. I'm good. Hendrix live in Sweden leave it alone!

  31. N.... C....

    Come on Yngwie bring it hard for Frankie boy!!!

  32. J.... O....

    Singer is crazy

  33. �.... ....

    インギー様と同じくらいJoe Lynn Turnerが目立ちます

  34. S.... ....

    Best version "EVER"

  35. E.... v....

    Can`t go wrong with Malmsteen&LynnTurner

  36. o.... o....

    What's the name of the guitarist is really good

    o.... o....

    It's probably Jack Butler

  37. d.... z....

    so much studio overdub
    but a great version of a masterpiece

  38. B.... M....

    ...Joe Lynn Turner gave a great performance. Very Blueish.

    B.... M....

    First time I heard this WAY BACK when. I thought this was some lost live Hendrix track:)

    ...what...its Yngwei? NO WAY!!! He doesnt play like this!

    Yes, he does, and he kicks ass at it!!!

  39. H.... ....

    This band taking Spanish castle magic out of hendrix. Glad hendrix wasn't there.

  40. p.... ....

    One of the most remarkable solos ever. It's by far my favorite Malmsteen solo. It's much more musical and restrained but never lacking in fire and passion. It's just brilliant.

  41. G.... S....

    A brilliant guitarist and the consummate showman!

  42. T.... H....

    Viva Jimi Hendrix

  43. f.... ....

    them fokkin S T R A T O CASTERS!!!

  44. f.... ....

    from the times @SUPER CHANNEL ,..I just keep coming back at this ....that`s a thick 30 years!!!!...anyone remembers??

  45. V.... P....

    The Best Show Of Malmsteen🎸👏👏👏👏👏

  46. t.... ....

    with stevie SRV the best Hendrix performers!

  47. A.... A....

    Awesome cover and solo. Malmsteen God!

  48. r.... ....

    Got this album when it 1st came out, I still love it.

    r.... ....

    rozzie101 The full concert has recently been reissued on DVD. (And I was elated to find out!)

    r.... ....

    Still have the LP and used to have the VHS and on a lot of songs Yngwie replayed quite a bit, making the LP musically much better but flawed as well.

  49. K.... B....

    He is the BEST

  50. T.... H....

    i mean, i know this guy is great, has his own classical style and all, but every fuckin move he does just scream Blackmore.

  51. r.... b....

    the fucking guitar is an extension of his body amazing !!!

  52. A.... M....

    MUITO BOM.

  53. f.... ....

    still knocks/ROCKS me off of my feet!!!!!!

  54. B.... ....

    Grandioso!

  55. k.... m....

    yeah ya right he would

  56. K.... M....

    Has anybody Tabs for the first fast lick starting the solo in 1:50? Great one!

  57. M.... S....

    great singer!

  58. G.... B....

    And people say Yngwie is soulless... bunch a twats

    G.... B....

    David Johnsen haha omg ikr 😂

    G.... B....

    Man....Jimi could hear the groove in everything. He turned that groove into music. Listen to Jimi play this tune live. It isn't about the notes, or the tone. It's about the groove, and these guys don't have it. Yeah, this isn't a bad cover, but it isn't Jimi's groove. Not even close.

    Yngwie has a bunch of critics. Those people either don't know shit about classically trained guitarists, or they clash with his style. Words like "soulless" are used by simpletons who don't know how to use the language so they resort to slang that is meaningless.

    G.... B....

    Geetar Bear he can play but hes a dick

    G.... B....

    Let’s see those soulless twats play like that. Furthermore if Jimi was still alive He would most definitely love this cover AND Yngvwie

  59. d.... b....

    Dos mangos no vale esta versión,puro circo al pedo

    d.... b....

    imagínate cuánto vale tu opinión entonces...

  60. M.... M....

    hendrix would hvae loved this solo!

  61. K.... D....

    Yo Pingwee, stop playing that classical arpeggio crap and play more of this!

    K.... D....

    +Kenny Darko
    lol

  62. J.... B....

    excuse my French but my gog kick fucking assssssssss !!!! have seen him 4 times and is still underated  how is that?

  63. J.... B....

    he still fkn rocks to this day!!!! jimi would be proud !!!enjoy!!!!

  64. C.... C....

    1989 Russia -After the wall came down

  65. B.... ....

    Shame this lineup broke apart.

  66. C.... D....

    Happy birthday to one of my icons- JIMI HENDRIX!

  67. h.... m....

    everyone in the comments seems to love this cover. im not crazy bout it. not bad but i wouldnt call it great. hes talented no doubt but he kind of metalized a hendrix song lol. just not for me i guess haaha

    h.... m....

    +holden meisner the original is pretty proto-metal itself. One of Jimi's hardest songs.

    h.... m....

    Yngwie fuckn owns this song!

  68. W.... C....

    0:50 seconds...WAIT, LET ME FIX MY HAIR!!! LOL

    W.... C....

    Actually hair gets under the strap and pulls....that's why he lifts the guitar...that shit hurts and I don't blame him lol, I would like to keep the hair on my head instead of being ripped out lol.

  69. R.... V....

    Horrible attire. Awesome performance.

    R.... V....

    +RIK A.N VARTIGYAN If there was any justice he would have been wearing a leather jacket with the long fringes on the arms.....come on...you had one too:)

    Then again, this was the thing back then and I just like the music...he kicked this song in the ass!

    R.... V....

    +RIK A.N VARTIGYAN lmao You have to be a female to appreciate the skin tight pants...and I do appreciate them a lot. It's too bad guys opt for baggy pants now. Not attractive at all.

  70. j.... f....

    The awesome music makes up for their shitty taste in clothing haha

  71. k.... ....

    joe is a great singer !

  72. S.... M....

    i think this is one of his best solos ever. So much raw sexual feel that u dont see in his other works

    S.... M....

    Love your comment

  73. c.... ....

    3.05 mins of foreplay before a full on rock n roll orgasm @ 3.10

  74. s.... ....

    ok i have heard many covers of jimi and i have to concede this is the best. not exact but very good. because its so different i have to give him props and he keeps the groove. this is my favorate malmsteen cover.

  75. J.... H....

    i BET , Jimi would be proud of Yngwie , i mean this is one of the BEST hendrix Interpretations , i ve heard (and i ve heard much )

    J.... H....

    +Jimi Hendrix Big Time proud!

    J.... H....

    Agree, this and Vaughan's Voodoo Child interpretation are very well put together. But then you go to watch Hendrix play these at Woodstock and you just realize how sovereign he was still.

    J.... H....

    yeah i agree, its 2017 now, and what i hear here from 89 still knocks the spots off of anything anyone plays today. I fail to see the next hero doing what Jimi did, there have been a bunch of brilliant creative magicians like Steve Vai and Joe Satriani to name just 2, but the shift jimi created and the influence he has had makes him a legendary godlike figure.

    J.... H....

    This and lukes freedom

    J.... H....

    It's nice and heavy

  76. D.... ....

    this guy has so much style with the electric guitar its unreal

  77. h.... ....

    drummer :(

    h.... ....

    +hendrixexperiencedig Anders Johansson along with his brother Jens Johansson on keyboards.

  78. B.... J....

    Who is this vocal machine??? 

    B.... J....

    Joe Lynn Turner

  79. s.... m....

    He has his fans and his haters, but no one can deny his undoubted mastery of the guitar.


  80. T.... C....

    song of jimi hendrix version Yngwie <3 love it's ...

    T.... C....

    @Tiswanto CDjohan Jr. wrong, its by the Jimi Hendrix Experience

    T.... C....

    Yngwie Cover ...

    T.... C....

    @Tiswanto CDjohan Jr. Hendrix cover...

  81. d.... ....

    Good player but them kicks are shite

  82. M.... T....

    Another great guitarist

  83. h.... ....

    was that a Sweedish karate kick?

    h.... ....

    +hazor777
    That's him kicking picks into the crowd. After a kick you'll always see him grab a new pick off the mic-stand.

    h.... ....

    @mano a mano

    I doubt it - he was actually kicking at the ghost of Bach , basically defending his stage territory.

  84. J.... H....

    A song with a lot of character, soul and groove.  Musicians have always seemed to have liked it.  

  85. h.... s....

    muhteşem ... majestic ...magnificent ...spectacular ...  

  86. l.... v....

    Come rovinare una bellisima canzone con 1000 note al secondo.

  87. D.... R....

    The fucking animal of the Hendrix groove.  Jimi take some notes...  Ha just joking....

  88. M.... P....

    jimi ! this dudes make it al live ! 

  89. L.... F....

    Toca mmuito!!!!

  90. U.... ....

    For real though this is pretty damn good. If he would chill with the sweep picking and ridiculous shredding it would actually sound quite a bit like Hendrix. The beauty in this song, at least when Hendrix did it, was in it's simplicity. Also, the vocals are also pretty damn good. Impressive.

    U.... ....

    @Will Scott
    Jimi played played piano and harpsichord to an extent, as well as bass on on alot of the Electric Ladyland songs. Obviously not Yngwie level, but that's more because of his short life.

    U.... ....

    I agree - Yngwie is more appealing & sounds better when he leaves more space and doesn't try to fill every fucking minute milisecond of a beat w/1K notes! But Hendrix had waaaaaaay more performer's STYLE than Yngwie will ever have. Hendrix was just smooth and cool as hell , live......

    U.... ....

    @hazor777
    That's your opinion... but Yngwie's got a great performers style and he's pretty smooth and cool also. 

    U.... ....

    UcanThnkItuCanDoit You wish you could shred like this. If you don't like Yngwie feel free to go somewhere I don't have to see you ridiculous comment. This is my music and I love it.

    U.... ....

    epic103 I think so, too. I think Hendrix would have enjoyed his unique sound and style, and probably would have invited him to jam.

  91. b.... ....

    the secret to enjoying malmsteen is to not watch him play, just listen and use your ears.

    b.... ....

    I like watching him play too.

    b.... ....

    @borntofiremusic His performance is like a bad 3some with 2 guys and a girl, way too much eye contact.

    b.... ....

    @RorysIrishTour
    This performance is also legendary. 

  92. E.... A....

    This is the best cover of Spanish Castle Magic

    E.... A....

    Eurico Alves Spin Doctors.

    E.... A....

    Jack Bruce

    E.... A....

    I agree

  93. 2.... ....

    What a fantastic cover Yngwie put his own stamp on it while keep the spirit of the original song bravo!

  94. n.... g....

    jimi hendrix woul'd love it

    n.... g....

    @nathalie guffroy nice bit of speculation

  95. S.... L....

    wow, he just completely rips off blackmore with his moves lol

    S.... L....

    Seán Austin Lewis Ridiculous. You are jealous because he is really this great and women love him for his moves and his shredding. Not a poser. He can back up his talent.

    S.... L....

    Yngwie is a true original

  96. L.... C....

    Malsteen walking all over vocals, what a jerkoff.

    L.... C....

    @*****
    I love this version tho, it's killer!

    L.... C....

    Louis Caldwell I do not agree. This is mainly to do with the guitar and the vocalist is epic. I can hear him just fine.

    L.... C....

    Louis Caldwell To me, it's more like the singer and the guitar are talking back and forth to each other. A little call and response, ya know what I mean?

  97. m.... p....

    un grande omaggio al DIO JIMI

  98. C.... P....

    That is why rock is pretty much dead nowadays. No one reinvents or innovates, they just copy flashy playing for attention/fame. Tom Morello and John Frusciante are the only ones who I can think of that brought guitar to a new level after the years 2000.
