Jefferson Airplane - Comin' Back To Me
Рет қаралды 884,966
16 жыл бұрынFrom the LP Surrealistic Pillow
The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long
The winter looked the same, as if it never had gone
And through an open window where no curtain hung
I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me
One begins to read between the pages of a look
The shape of sleepy music, and suddenly you're hooked
Through the rain upon the trees, that kisses on the run
I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me
You came to stay and live my way
Scatter my love like leaves in the wind
You always say you won't go away
But I know what it always has been, it always has been
A transparent dream beneath an occasional sigh
Most of the time I just let it go by
Now I wish it hadn't begun
I saw you, yes I saw you, comin' back to me
Strolling the hills overlooking the shore
I realize I've been here before
The shadow in the mist could have been anyone
I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me
Small things like reasons are put in a jar
Whatever happened to wishes wished on a star?
Was it just something that I made up for fun?
I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me

I first heard this song when I was 24. (back in 1970) I bought the album (surrealistic pillow) and this song put me in a trance, to say the least. I played it over and over and over till I fell asleep. It is the most soft spoken, relaxing, mesmerizing song if have ever heard in my life. I will NEVER BE TIRED OF THIS SONG. Anyone else feel the same? Cary in Roseville, California

Lost my Grandmother less than 2 months ago. Grandparents raised me since I was nine years old. Took care of her the last 7 years of her life (made it to 93)...because she deserved that much for how much she had given and sacrificed. I miss both of them soooo much. This song makes me think of them both...and then I cry.

those are warm beautiful thoughts & memories coming out of you, those are the treasures we store up on while living & once in a while we get to relive them in memory & they warm us from the inside out helping us to feel whole again. You've lived & made those memories, Now you get to enjoy them its feels like hurt & loss, but to me its love especially when it hurts. I lost My Mom from small cell cancer last march & I am still stunned by it. I have gotten over it but a wound remains because I dont believe her Death was a natural one so I have that on my mind all the time now. This song helps me remember Mom & how many times I made her laugh so bad she peed herself LOL we both laughed a lot & we both fought good battles at times but I loved my Mom a lot. I feel for you & I Pray God has her in his gentle mercies & care. Big Hug for you too :)

Many people have personal stories related to this song. I used to look out the window and see our eldest son come up the road and up the drive to our house. He didn't drive. I remembered this song back when I was a kid in the 60's but heard it again right after he died (our son) and the words really hit home hard. I still look out the window and remember him coming up the drive. It's been 10 years but this song still makes me cry. Our son was 27.

This song is gorgeous! It speaks for an era, a generation, and the timeless beauty of love. Somehow, this song, and a few others of this era, reminds me that by the time most of us have it right, our ship has sailed, we can't go back, and we have little time to look forward to. This song and others like it should be required listening, discussion, and analysis for junior high school and senior high school kids so they can get it right before their ship sails. So many young people could improve their lot in life just by taking to heart the beautiful lyrics and music of this and other songs like it so they could avoid the pitfalls most of us become trapped in. One should always appreciate love, friendship, and family as they are fleeting at best for most of us. We should never take those close to us for granted.

Wow! Well, we agree about the song - wonderfully beautiful! I grew up in the 50s and 60s and have been listening to JA, JS, and HT/Jorma for most of my life, along with a lot of other music around that. I will always love this song and many others they did - Today, Young Girl Sunday Blues, Rejoyce, Mann's Fate, Bar Room Crystal Ball, just to name a handful. But you do realize that the 60s, among other things, were about breaking with the conventional. Parents said to us the same thing you're saying now. Many parents loved big band music and old standards, Frank Sinatra and others of that genre, and classical music. My parents had me listen to things like Candide (Broadway show - Voltaire put to Bernstein music), and Bartok and Bach - glad they did. They had to put up with Airplane, The Doors, Moody Blues, Led Zeppelin, etc. I get it though - I also can't understand the attraction of what's marketed these days. I don't hear Balin's voice or lyrics. But there is a lot of new music that's not very marketed that's pretty good. I do still listen to HT/JA/Jorma - a lot! And Steeleye Span, Jethro Tull, Pentangle, CSNY, Sly & The Family Stone, and Dire Straits. And I listen to Mike Munson, Larkin Poe, and Trombone Shorty. I also found the video entrancing. But I noticed that it doesn't reflect a lot of the country now or during the 60s when Balin wrote the song. No diversity, seemingly rural. That's okay - just not really about what the 60s/early 70s music/culture was mostly about. Balin's song does very much speak to "timeless beauty of love" (nice phrase). Sorry to go on so long. Just one last thing. I guess I agree that "we can't go back" but I don't know about the ship has sailed business. Jorma and Jack are older than I am - they are live streaming tonight (Sat., 7/18/20, 8 eastern) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/sLV1e7teyeC8aI0.html for what will be Jorma's 14th live weekly concert since the pandemic began. Jack drove from CA to OH a few weeks ago to join in. I don't think their ship has sailed yet either.
@AMERICANPATRIOT1945 4 жыл бұрын
@@garydion3488 , By saying "the ship has sailed," I am referring to a lot of the missed opportunities we have as youngsters which we can only very rarely revisit in our middle and older years. Very few young people have the wisdom or guidance to make good decisions about their careers, marriage, and other life decisions. It is precisely those decisions which have to be made starting in our youth and young adult years. The social skills we need as adults are learned as kids. The ability to select a good career begins in youth. By the time most of us learn those skills, the ship of youth has sailed, and our desireability has faded. Those of us who do have the requisite wisdom and guidance to board the ship become the envy of the rest who missed it.

The summer had inhaled and held its breath too long The winter looked the same, as if it never had gone And through an open window where no curtain hung I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me One begins to read between the pages of a book The shape of sleepy music, and suddenly you're hooked Through the rain upon the trees, that kisses on the run I saw you, I saw you, comin' back to me

Saddest song EVER. Breaks the heart and cuts right thru my soul... "The shadow in the myst could have been anyone..."

A buddy and I played in the Bay Area in the 70's and did this song one night because his girlfriend had left him. Afterwards a guy in the audience told us it sounded like God's music. Being young and stupid I laughed at that, all these years later i'm sure he was right.

I first heard this in the Golden Gate panhandle. It was during that summer. The question that has obsessed me ever since is this: If we can treat each other so well sometimes, why don't we do it all the time?

Absolutely gorgeous... The awesome thing about the Airplane was they could rock out like crazy and then break it down to the sweetest ballad you ever heard. This one and Triad are particular favorites of mine. Still sounds so sweet all these years later. Defintiely my favorite Marty Balin song. So many of their lyrics were so amazingly poetic... Wooden Ships.. man.. amazing stuff.

David Crosby had a hand in the writing of Wooden Ships. Was written while on Crox's boat w/ Kantner. The Airplanes take on the tune is truly remarkable.

This was likely a clip from a movie about the dust bowl years in the Midwest. About 1930 to 1936. As a young boy we would drive through Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado and you would see the abandoned houses from that period. That was very typical of the rural schools up until the middle of the 20th century. A fantastic book about this time, if anyone still reads books, is "The Worst Hard Times".

Music may be the closest we ever get to perfection or magic. Nothing like it to invoke a mood or trigger a memory.

Growing up in the 50's I can remember the clothes that we wore at that time. Looking at the film I remember the teachers we had and how they were dressed. We worked on the farm and that was our way of life. In the early 60's there were still dust storms that left mounds of dirt piled up everywhere. Looking at what is going on with the drought all over the western US I have to wonder if this is coming back and if so what will be the way of life for the children to come.

ah the tragedy of love and passion ultimately unrequited painful memories of youth time now left far behind, though not lost poignant revisiting of a hope unfulfilled, desire and yearning still burning within for one who will never return emptiness within burning like magma from an underground cavern pouring through my heart, firing my mind back to the intense pain of watching her walk away forever Oh where can I go to and what can I do, memories I have remind me of you of youth...
