Red Hot Chili Peppers - Castles Made Of Sand Lyrics






Down the street you can hear her scream
"you're a disgrace"
As she slams the door in his drunken face
And now he stands outside
And all the neighbours start to gossip and drool

He cries "oh girl, you must be mad
What happened to the sweet love you and me had"
Against the door he leans and starts a scene
And his tears fall and burn the garden green

And so castles made of sand,
Fall in the sea eventually

A little indian brave who before he was ten
Played war games in the woods with his indian friends
And he built a dream that when he grew up
He would be a fearless warrior indian chief

Many moons passed and the dream grew strong until tomorrow
He would sing his first war song
And fight his first battle but something went wrong
Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

And so castles made of sand
Melts into the sea eventually

There was a young girl whose heart was a frown
Because she was crippled for life and couldn't speak a sound
And she wished and prayed she would stop living
So she decided to die
She drew her wheel chair to the edge of the shore
And to her legs she smiled
"you won't hurt me no more"
But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
"look a golden winged ship is passing my way"
And it really didn't have to stop
It just kept on going

And so castles made of sand
Slips into the sea eventually

  21. F.... C....

    Blood Sugar Sex Magik is one of my all-time favourite albums, and Castles Made Of Sand is one of my all-time favourites songs by Hendrix, so I was thinking "How can this be?" - ah, it's a bonus track. Beautiful surprise.

  22. e.... e....

    Amazing cover... Gratitude

  23. G.... F....

    "Fall in THE Sea" Eventually

    Hermoso Frusciante

  26. L.... L....

    Minute 3:03 John frusciante Sounds likes Steve Vai

    L.... L....

    watching this so smaked on acid

  28. c.... v....

    Beautiful

  29. j.... z....

    Down the street you can hear her scream "you're a disgrace"
    As she slams the door in his drunken face
    And now he stands outside
    And all the neighbors start to gossip and drool, yes they do
    He cries "Oh, girl you must be mad
    What happened to the sweet love you and me had?"
    Against the door he leans and starts a scene
    And his tears fall and burn the garden green, yes they do
    And so castles made of sand fall in the sea, eventually
    A little Indian brave who before he was ten
    Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
    And he built up a dream that when he grew up
    He would be a mighty warrior Indian chief
    Many moons past and more the dream grew strong until
    Tomorrow he would sing his first war song and fight his first battle
    But something went wrong, a surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night, damn
    And so castles made of sand melts into the sea, eventually
    There was a young girl, whose heart was a frown
    'Cause she was crippled for life
    She couldn't speak a sound
    And she wished and prayed she could stop living
    So she decided to die
    She drew her wheelchair to the edge of the shore
    And to her legs she smiled "you won't hurt me no more"
    But then a sight she'd never seen made her jump and say
    "Look a golden winged ship is passing my way"
    And it really didn't have to stop, it just kept on going...
    And so castles made of sand slips into the sea, eventually
    Castles made of
    Castles made of

  30. Y.... ....

    Imagine Hendrix with Flea

    Y.... ....

    Hendrix=John

  31. S.... S....

    Why would such a weak band try covering Jimi...
    Bad idea

  32. G.... D....

    LOOKA GOLDENWINGSHIP IS PASSIN MY WAYYYee......................................................but it didn't really have to stop.....it just kept on goin........*inhales*AND SOME CASTLESMADEOFSANDdd....slippzz...into the seaaa....eventualyyy..........................

  33. R.... P....

    Man that solo should’ve been so much longer

    R.... P....

    Frusciante's short orgasmic flower

  34. A.... M....

    They did it justice.

  35. m.... y....

    awesome cover, awesome guitar tone

  36. M.... M....

    Siempre me gustò eventchually..y ese fin de guitarra.

  37. M.... M....

    ...No es limmdo. Jimy???
    Tan besho como el aire en movimiento del vientoen la cara ..mientras lahamaca rescata vueloooohhhhhh....

  38. L.... P....

    Thank goodness there is not a lot of people that dont like this master piece 🤘🏼

  39. j.... ....

    I like covers that don't sound exactly the same as the original. That's the point of a cover. It's this bands take on the original. Why do people not understand that?

  40. J.... ....

    So slow compared to the Hendrix version.

    J.... ....

    I prefer this speed because you can take it all in and i like the guitar better

  41. D.... S....

    Anyone else think this song sounds even better at 1.25x ?

  42. S.... C....

    I’m not taking anything away from this cover but I like the one they play live on stage much better

  43. E.... S....

    Down the street, you can hear her scream, "You're a disgrace"

    Fall in the sea
    Eventually

    A little Indian brave who before he was ten
    Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
    And he built a dream that when he grew up
    He would be a fierce warrior Indian chief

    Many moons passed 'fore the dream grew strong
    Until tomorrow he would sing his first war song
    And fight his first battle, but something went wrong
    Suprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

    And so castles made of sand

    It just kept on going

    And so castles made of sand

    Eventually

    E.... S....

    Evelyne Schmid I think it’s ,fearless warrior Indian chief’?

  44. A.... D....

    joel coker I agree! This version too make's me tear up at the end!

  45. F.... M....

    I'm actually like this cover more than original version.

    F.... M....

    Bad opinion

    F.... M....

    @Anti World I agree with him. I know its not better than jimi but i like the guitar WAY better on this just for the sound. The originals guitar is really quiet

    F.... M....

    @Gonçalo Azevedo I see you have a hard time taking others opinions. I just think it sounds more prominent on this version, almost like a perfect remaster.

  46. N.... R....

    Insane love base flee is the best base I have ever hear red hot u the bomb

  47. R.... G....

    'YouTube cancer'.
    ''sorry but this is a cover.. " And well The Original is an original and originally it's going to be the first and the best one.. (So sick of Reading this comment, blah blah blahs) - so then when the cover comes along I'm gonna have to say it's a cover and not as good as the original.. 😩🔫 fucks givin..

  48. t.... s....

    Play this at 2x the speed you won’t regret it

    t.... s....

    the spanu man you're a genius

  49. A.... Y....

    An Indian brave, who before he was ten
    Played war games in the woods with his Indian friends
    And he built a dream that when he grew up
    He would be a fearless warrior Indian chief
    Many moons passed and the dream grew strong until tomorrow
    He would sing his first war song
    And fight his first battle but something went wrong
    Surprise attack killed him in his sleep that night

    one of my favorite covers ever. so beautiful

  70. J.... L....

    Love This!!

  71. M.... L....

    M.D. mx

  72. P.... L....

    Listening to the original it sounds like a RCHP song. The way the clean guitars are and the beat.

    P.... L....

    Psychedelic Lizard Jimi's voice sounds very similar to Anthony's voice in the original song

    P.... L....

    You mean RHCP sounds like a jimi song right

  73. J.... W....

    I like the original better. Bad ass cover though

  74. R.... e....

    This is beautiful

  75. B.... F....

    OMG why haven't I heard this cover yet

  76. C.... O....

    what tuning is this

    C.... O....

    Creep OnRocking should be E flat

    C.... O....

    probs Eb

    C.... O....

    or d# standard if you prefer

  77. C.... H....

    Superb cover

  78. T.... T....

    At the very end did it sound like the guitar was slightly out of tune?

    T.... T....

    Yes a bit. But maybe intentional by bending the strings.

  79. A.... L....

    This song makes me sand

    A.... L....

    I guess its kinda sad but everything goes back to normality, or "slips in the sea", . . . eventually. the cycle of life i suppose.

    A.... L....

    Your Nan that’s what the songs about!

  80. S.... O....

    L.... A....

    L.... A....

    Mike Lethe stfu

  86. j.... ....

    jimi will always be the best but rhcp amazing too

  87. S.... ....

    "iTunes bonus track from one hot minute 1991" you're not the brightest are ya?

    S.... ....

    It was released as an bonus track on I-tunes years later (obviously) you idiot. Also, One Hot Minute came out in 95.. This is from the Blood Sugar era..

    S.... ....

    It was released as the b-side to taste the pain. It's been re-packaged as a bonus download just like every other band/album in the world that had tons of quality b-sides. iTunes has nothing to do with it...that's just a place you click "download".

  88. P.... S....

    one of the greatest covers ever.

  89. A.... A....

    amazinggggg. sex to my ears

  90. p.... ....

    I effin love this cover song.

  91. P.... L....

    How appropriate, today...

  92. c.... ....

    what happened to the sweet love you and me had?

    c.... ....

    read this right when the song said it lol

    c.... ....

    Same lol

  93. r.... t....

    great version, but im sorry it isnt quite as good as jimi's in my opinion

    r.... t....

    ruth tahsin you can't beat Jimi mate

    r.... t....

    ruth tahsin you're an idiot. John guitar parts are 90% note for note. This is as good a cover you're ever going to get from mainstream musicians

    r.... t....

    There is very interesting version. LAZY VOCALS, and it's super. Don't compare to Jimi

    r.... t....

    it is not meant to be

    r.... t....

    Well no shit captian obvious. You dont say

  94. S.... A....

    VERY COOL> Never been a RHCP fan and never heard this before. HUGE respect!

    S.... A....

    so how did you get here?

    S.... A....

    like we all do.. music love

    S.... A....

    Gal Cesana likely looking up the original...

  95. c.... p....
