The Moon and the Deep Blue Sea

The Moon and the Deep Blue Sea

(This suggestion from @SeanR1974)

write about the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea #hendrix #angel

I’ll happily write about that. Thing is, I have no idea what it means, although that hasn’t stopped me before. There are two clues in the form of hashtags – “hendrix”, presumably of the Jimi variety, and “angel”, which I’m guessing is one of his songs. [fx: Googling sounds] Right, yes. Both those things.

I know two things about Jimi Hendrix:

  1. He’s part of Club 27.
  2. He played a gig in Dereham, Norfolk, where I used to live. That was back in 1967 though, and I wasn’t born then. I’ve a photo of the flier somewhere, but I can’t find it. I used to work with someone who attended it.

Neither of these things help with the suggestion. Anyway.

The thing with the moon and the sea is that they have a very abusive relationship. The moon is all push and pull and the sea has no say in it. They can’t physically touch. They can’t embrace. And it’s being going on for billions of years.

Frankly, it needs to be stopped. It’s all one-sided and the poor sea is literally in a permanent state of turmoil. It’s not love, and it’s certainly not “sweet” love. Unless Hendrix was being ironic, of course.
