                  Requiem for an officially unexplained coronavirus pandemic.



                  https://www.lyrics.com/lyric/552711/...ind+Cries+Mary
                  After all the jacks are in their boxes
                  and the clowns have all gone to bed
                  You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
                  footprints dressed in red
                  And the wind whispers Mary
                  A broom is drearily sweeping
                  up the broken pieces of yesterdays life
                  Somewhere a queen is weeping
                  Somewhere a king has no wife
                  And the wind, it cries Mary
                  The traffic lights, they turn, uh, blue tomorrow
                  and shine their emptiness down on my bed
                  The tiny island sags down stream
                  'cause the life that lived is,
                  is dead
                  And the wind screams Mary
                  Uh-will the wind ever remember
                  the names it has blown in the past?
                  And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
                  it whispers no, this will be the last
                  And the wind cries Mary
                  ----- Jimi Hendrix


                  General Comment I believe the lyrics of this song are multilayered and can also be interpreted in a multitude of ways, but I will try to break them down how they seem to work imho:

                  "After all the jacks are in their boxes
                  and the clowns have all gone to bed"
                  >The jacks (pieces of the children's game, jacks) are put away because the players grew tired of playing. The game of jacks is the game people play in life to be the "best" or the "winner" (such as war), regardless of who loses in their wake. The players are the clowns, though, because they, themselves, eventually lose and just go to bed (or even die).

                  "You can hear happiness staggering on down the street
                  footprints dressed in red"
                  >So when the game ends, the people whose voices are heard are those left in the wake who were not playing the game. And they continue happily on the path of righteousness, although staggering. Their blood can be seen in their footprints while they still walk the path. They are visibly harmed, but do not divert.

                  "And the wind whispers Mary"
                  >"Mary" is Mary of Bethany from the Bible. (Mary walked the path of peace and faith, in contrast to her sister Martha, who lived in selfishness and doubt.) Hence, the wind now quietly speaks her name, the wind being the age or the times.

                  "A broom is drearily sweeping
                  up the broken pieces of yesterday's life"
                  >Those who are left after the fighting try to pick up the pieces of their destroyed way of life.

                  "Somewhere a queen is weeping
                  Somewhere a king has no wife"
                  >The queen is sad because the man she married is not the great man she believed he was. He was only a malevolent leader orchestrating senseless fighting for his own gain. She leaves him after the fighting because he has nothing left to offer her.

                  "And the wind, it cries Mary"
                  >The people who played and lost the game, like the king and queen, have lost almost everything. So the wind is louder now, crying for change.

                  "The traffic lights, they turn up blue tomorrow
                  and shine their emptiness down on my bed"
                  >The traffic lights are the old leaders, like the king and queen, who used to tell you when to go and when to stop. People followed their directions because it got them to where they were headed. But now, the traffic lights are turned blue (sad because they lost their power). Those who followed the traffic lights are now also blue because they have no direction for the future. Even the narrator is awoken by the empty blue.

                  "The tiny island sags downstream
                  'cause the life that lived is, is dead"
                  >The great kingdom that was is now only a "tiny island." It is isolated and all the pieces that are left fall apart without its surrounding structure. The old society that once thrived is now totally dead.

                  "And the wind screams Mary"
                  >The wind is so loud now, that it cannot be ignored.

                  "Will the wind ever remember
                  the names it has blown in the past?"
                  >The narrator questions whether the wind will consider the names it has blown before, such as kings' names, or perhaps Martha's name.

                  "And with this crutch, its old age, and its wisdom
                  it whispers no, this will be the last"
                  >The wise, old, wind now has Mary as its crutch to keep on flowing while the people get together to repair and build a better place to live in. The wind whispers to the narrator (so the people don't hear and become complacent) that this is the last name that needs to be blown. The people finally recognize the error of their ways.

                  "And the wind cries Mary"
                  >The wind calms a bit but still cries Mary for the stragglers. Perhaps later the wind will quiet down and no longer need to blow Mary's name, when the people realize their happiness and harmony depend on their own actions.

                      In 1969 𝐀𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐔𝐒 - 𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐈𝐧 hit the Top 40 chart and peaked for 6 weeks at 𝐍𝐨.𝟏 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. The single was eventually certified platinum in the U.S. and the song listed at No. 66 on Billboard's "Greatest Songs of All Time." For lyrics and names of group members, see below. The song with its uplifting, elegance, and tremendous harmonies, is a combination of two songs written for the 1967 iconoclastic musical Hair by James Rado (lyrics), Gerome Ragni (lyrics), and Galt MacDermot (music). Instrumental backing was provided by Los Angeles studio musicians known as The Wrecking Crew.

The 5th Dimension was notable for a sound that blended pop, jazz, R&B, and gospel. The 5 original 5th Dimension members were (as in the video): Billy Davis Jr.(lead singer), Marilyn McCoo (with brown hair), Florence LaRue, Lamonte McLemore (with yellow shirt) and with beard, Ronald Townson (founding member Townson performed right up until kidney illness forced him to retire in 1997 and died in his home in Las Vegas at age 68, † August 2, 2001).

                      The group has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, inducted August 9, 1991. And the group was also inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2002. The song was used in the movie Forrest Gump (1994) and covered by many artists: Diana Ross, Andy Williams, The Osmonds, The Ventures, Donna Summer, Ray Stevens, Cila Black, Reaction, Johnny Mathis, Tragedy.

                      On July 20, 1969, American astronauts Neil Armstrong (1930-2012) and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin (1930-) became the first humans ever to land on the moon. About six-and-a-half hours later, Armstrong became the first person to walk on the moon.

                      LYRICS:
                      When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars
                      This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius Age of Aquarius Aquarius (2x)
                      Harmony and understanding Sympathy and trust abounding No more falsehoods or derisions
                      Golden living dreams of visions Mystic crystal revelation And the mind's true liberation Aquarius (2x)
                      When the moon is in the Seventh House And Jupiter aligns with Mars Then peace will guide the planets And love will steer the stars
                      This is the dawning of the Age of Aquarius Age of Aquarius Aquarius (4x)

                      Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in, the sunshine in Let the sunshine, let the sunshine in,
                      the sunshine in Oh, let it shine, c'mon
                      Now everybody just sing along
                      Let the sunshine in
                      Open up your heart and let it shine on in When you are lonely, let it shine on Got to open up your heart and let it shine on in
                      And when you feel like you've been mistreated
                      And your friends turn away Just open your heart, and shine it on in
