Jefferson Airplane - Somebody To Love
When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love. (love, love, love)
When the morning flowers, baby are dead, yes.
And your mind, (your mind) is so full of dread.
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love.
Your eyes, I say your eyes may look like his,
Yeah, but in your head, baby, I'm afraid you don't know where it is.
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love.
Tears are running, yeah running down your vest.
And your friends, baby, they treat you like a guest.
Don't you want somebody to love?
Don't you need somebody to love?
Wouldn't you love somebody to love?
You better find somebody to love.
This is one of my favourite songs. Lately, it's been playing in my head... I think it's because of all this election propaganda I'm been bombarded with. My brain as a defense mechanism starts humming the tune in my mind. It's a wierd song, some of the lyrics don't make sense if you read it... but that's how I feel right now for this election.
This is a live performance from Jefferson Airplane's hey days... check out the hippies in the video. I remember studying about it in my History of Rock & Roll class and I thought it was just such an awsome era to live in. They were outsiders and yet fought a just government (or so their version at least). Give peace a chance!
This is another video of their performance, except it starts with White Rabbit. Another of my favourite. Another song that I hum in my head these few days. Now this song is also how I feel about the truth in all the propaganda being spewed out from both sides. Is it me or does Grace looks really stoked in this video? I like the mic she's holding, it looks like it's held together by duct tape... kind of reminds me of some of the mic's I've used a long time ago.
