MARY JANE= MARJUANA
YOU NEVER KNEW!
When I find myself in times of trouble= When I am down.
Mother Mary comes to me=someone gets me weed(MARY JANE)
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be And in my hour of darkness=He is toking the MARY JANE for song ideas(Wisdom) at night.
She is standing right in front of me( his looking at the MARY JANE vertical in his hand after a toke of it) Speaking words of wisdom, let it be= the high for being buzzed with weird thinking for songs(CREATIVITY)
Let it be, let it be Let it be, let it be= Not a Holy Amen but let it stay lite to smoke and inhale as he looks at it.
Whisper words of wisdom( now that I am high giving me song Ideas) Let it be…. Stay lite... smoke
And when the night is cloudy= He is so high not able to be lucid!
There is still a light that shines on me=the light of the Mary JANE as he puffs to what?
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be= keep smoking and watching the shine of light from the MARY JANE because its a buzz for ideas
I wake up to the sound of music=More creative ideas come with music in my mind or while other music is playing also
Mother Mary comes to me=He lites up another MARY JANE
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be…=Bringing more song ideas to him so good let it be... and so on...
He is a stoned song writer.
This is the period of their heavy drug use. Remember Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds= LSD trip!
Also the Satanist Alester Crowley's picture is next to Mae West and Marilyn Monroe on the Album "Sergent Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band"
What does that tell you?
"Gee: I hate to throw cold water on this party, but I lived thru the late 60's and early 70's in both the States and in Europe. Ask any old hippie what the "Cloudy" lyrics of this song mean, nine out of ten will probably tell you that "Mother Mary," absolutely does NOT refer to the Virgin Mary! "Mother Mary" refers to an herbal remedy for depression, blues, arthritis, a hang-over, cancer, chemo-therapy and anything else that may bother you: It refers to Marijuana! If you don't believe me, ask any old hippies in Amsterdam, and 99.9% who are not still totally stoned, with affirm that "Mother Mary" is a universal euphemism for Marijuana!"
