tranquilatus..thank you so very much for this upload..and where in the hell can i find that beautiful painting...man this song ..well i just cannot put into words...
Man this song brought on terrible sadness and tears to my eyes. It reminds me of when my beloved cat Pepper died. He was 7 and died of feline leauchemaia. There was no vaccination for it back then. I love the song even though I listened to it during a bad time in my life.
It's so hard to believe that this band had managed to keep er all going along under 3 different names Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship and finially Starship and so many different lead singers ranging from Grace Slick and Marty Balin and This is one of the best Jefferson Starship Tracks ever recorded although it was a bit hard to tell whether it was either Long Way Back or Find Your Wa Back but I would only Imagine would refer it as Find your Way Back!!!
My comment about the painting and song was far and away the one given the most positive responses for over a year, but now it's gone. Thank you YouTube you censorial bastards and bitches. Gone down the memory hole, just another day in the life of a Cultural Marxist dictatorship.
thank you for using this Waterhouse painting. I found it years ago but never bought the print. It's cool that I can gat online and see it anytime now.
@rowdymax1 - Interesting to see Burton Cummings here because you're absolutely right. I'm not a huge fan, but he is a great writer, player, and singer. Robert Plant - in Beetle, an early 70s Canadian music paper - cited Cummings as being a great singer... one of the very best in rock. It'll be coincidence, but in the opening of one of the tracks on the Guess Who's 'Rockin' album, there's a backing bit that plays Sam Phillips 'Sea of Love'. In the 80s, Plant did that tune with the Honey Drippers.
tranquilatus: I love this painting with this song. Reminds me of myself in my twenties, frizzy red/blonde hair, the love of boating and the love of this song.
I am reading a bunch of shit here: Are there men here stating that because of mommy they can't get an erection, or do anything else most impotent, I mean important, in their life ?? If I had just 20% of the testosterone that you losers here had, I would be KING !!!!
Funny, I had this as a poster on the wall in my studio apartment back in 1976. Then, I met a girl who looked just like the Lady. Almost married her....
I prefer The Starship pre 80's. They were a top band. Very influential. The painting had drawn me to listening to the song I have to admit. It was my favourite picture on view, whilst I had worked at the Tate Gallery in London circa 75. Happy Daze for sure. I wish I was 19 again ¦¬)
@TheMainDon. There are still Some American women who still yearn and respect men. Not all women are exactly the same. Stereo typing isn't going to make life any easier for anyone. Life is difficult enough without stereo typing. The stereo typing is one of many reasons I stopped dating because its not right to make some women pay for the sins of other women just as its not right for all men to suffer on account of another man's sins. Just some food for thought. Have a nice day :-)
@ladyartemas912 Oh, but you must be young. All men were pigs and ALL men were rapists, according to the Women's Movement. And I just read that claim a month ago, posted by a woman somewhere on a blog. But don't stop dating, just give it a rest until the dust clears. It took me years, but I finally found a woman who didn't care about any of this junk, keeper!
Took my wife to see this band the night I met her Sept 24, 1984. 26 years ago. BTW I told my best friend that I would marry that girl. Yes I believe in love at first sight.
@flashx454 I met my wife in 1991 through a mutual friend at a dance place. While dancing, we stayed on the floor for a slow one, and I knew right then, that she would be my wife. "It just felt right". And she is! PS: I was never big on dancing, which makes the whole thing kind of funny.
"Took my wife to see this band the night I met her Sept 24, 1984. 26 years ago. BTW I told my best friend that I would marry that girl. Yes I believe in love at first sight."
You married her and took her to a gig on the first day you met her... you don't hang about mate!
Awesome pic of "The Lady of Shalott". There is a great song by that name. It is a Celtic style song set to the words of the Tennyson poem sang by Loreena McKennitt. I recommend giving it a listen.
as often happens ..bands that break up ..reunite w/ different lineups suffer in their popularity ...this is great song ..that was overlooked mostly..later on starship hit their stride in the mainstream ..but there is some great work before that ..even mickey thomas solo stuff had a couple decent songs
@4yules Don't forget Mickey also sang "Fooled around and fell in love" on Elvin Bishop's 1975 album Struttin' My Stuff. This was right before he joined Jefferson Starship.
If I ever write a play I would like this to be one of the closing songs with balloons and monacles and a biplane or a blimp or a flying snake or strange smells that start wafting in...like tapioca and cotton candy and popcorn and some other
Classic. Takes me back to my teenage years. Love the classic rock, there will never be anything else like it, and everything I just wrote was already written by others but still true...
I was always fascinated with this track- mainly cause how Heavy it gets toward the end- but since I am going through a divorce -it all makes sense now.
@TheMainDon whoa..........that is profound, dude. I've felt that way for quite a long time, and you're the first person who has stated it this simply. These women we remember so fondly - there are still some around, but few and far between. I feel sorry for my son, and wonder if he has any chance at all of finding such a woman.
@jjjjkc I have three male nephews, in their 30s now, and none of them can find a wife, anyone they would marry. They're reasonably good looking,have jobs, but can't find anyone. I married late, but by the time I was ready, in my late 30s, every woman I met was divorced and bitter, with kids usually, who had appalling behavior. They all had half-cocked feminist attitudes, one upping this thing, that thing,... I couldn't meet anyone in their 20s who hadn't had a baby already, let alone older.
@TheMainDon your an idiot. American women still respect and yearn for men. Just because men aren't self centered pig's anymore who think they are superior to men does not mean that women don't respect them anymore.
@girlsnare08 I have to respectfully disagree, and I've seen a few changes in my time. Women don't respect men that they can dominate, that is it flat. As self-centered pigs, now the women are, which was always the point, the reversal of roles. But men don't function well that way. That's why boys are drugged by their mothers, more violent men. Females fall over like rag dolls for the rich & famous, that Alpha male thing. I've seen it from both sides, including the performance stage.
@TheMainDon by the way, just so you know, you are a bit of a wanker for making that comment, you yourself should be more respectful towards woman and not type without thinking.
@cindy91365 That is the Lady of Shalott famous painting by Waterhouse based on the poem by Tennyson. Look up the song by Loreena McKennitt by that name. Awesome.
@TristanandIsolt McKennitt recites the poem, in full in that song. I have long had the cd, and saw her perform it in the mid 90s. What always cracked me up about her was her pretentiousness. IN the last line, both on cd and live, she pronounes "Lady" as Cockney, "lyedie" thinking it period and sophisticated. Good artist overall though.
It was painted in 1888. Looks very contemporary, except for the look of yearning for her love. That sadly has disappeared among American women since so-called feminism destroyed the natural harmony and balance between men and women.
If the natural balance between men and women ended when women started voting and getting respectable jobs, then I don't really miss the natural balance, either.
@TaraTownsend I like you for this comment - "bee in their bonnet." Even though you know that men don't wear bonnets, women do (back in the days of yore). Anyway, take it as a positive point.
I could simultaniously play the guitar on my steering wheel as well as the organ on my dashboard at the same time when I was growing up listening to this doing like 100 MPH.... I probably single-handedly helped to invent the air guitar with the addition of this song...
REM? Dude! That's like jumping out of the "pop" frying pan and into the "teenie-bop" fire, but whatever, I respect your opinion and I know what you're saying. Still.... This album had some good songs on it, not great.... but pretty good.
Yea..... this song isn't gay lol.........Check your anus for that remote cowboy .You probably just sat on it and didn't notice.. ...And you were wondering why everytime you farted the channel changed......
if you ever took a music lesson in your life you would have a clue. music IS like school and musicians like these are college grads and NOT frat fool wanna be cool music closed minded idiot!
you were saying music is like school and to live and learn. you are right but probably never made it past 1st grade.listen 2 craig chaquico "sacred ground" he was a member of starship and is a professor of music. maybe then your appreciate it and trancsend the limits of your musical boundaries.
You are actually telling me to listen to Craig Chaquico...lol And who is the frat boy now.??...he he...Next you'll be telling me to give a listen to Joe Satriani . "Dude he knows all the modes,lydian, dorian". What are you 12 years old....???? That music moves no one except adolescent boys.. You are the one who is closed mined. Put down the playstation 3 and join the grown ups.
Just listened to Sacred Ground...(BTW I know Chaquico was in Starship I owned Modern Times...sucks ) Granted, the guys is talented. I am not questioning that but I think I heard Sacred Ground while I was doing my grocery shopping the other day. That faux, Native American,jazz fusion, muzak is nauseating.
In your profile, you also call other people "racists" in response to totally non-racist comments. Then you follow that with your comment about "fucking" Lindsay Lohan in 24 hours, and asking if that woiuld be rape. Here's my response back to you. If you were already last in line for brains, you could at least not let everybody know it by posting idiotic statements. Also, Lindsay Lohan will not be "fucking" you, and she wants you to stop yelling at her out the window of the short bus.
one of the truly great, but terribly underrated cranks of the ol' "rock era"..............very cool and intelligent choice for the pic too! Well done and thanks!
Just saw Starship do this song live in Memphis last Saturday night. Mickey can still sing like the old days. This was my favorite song when i graduated in May of 81.
@TheMainDon So this is the comment so many jumped on? Wow,... My only question is, why the "white girl" note? Do you feel like you're straying across the color line?
this is indeed a very good & uplifting song, you are right, just like "No Time To Lose" -Tarney Spencer Band, if you remember that one, it's here on youtube as well.
What a Journey listening to this, and reading all the nostalgic and thought provoking comments! Brought me back to daze of magic, finding my way back to the amazing woman I'm still in love with to this day.
first heard this song driving to chicago while moving there from Michigan when i was sixteen at night driving over the illinois tollway bridge and seeing chicago in the distance... and there I found her...again

REM? Dude! That's like jumping out of the "pop" frying pan and into the "teenie-bop" fire, but whatever, I respect your opinion and I know what you're saying. Still.... This album had some good songs on it, not great.... but pretty good.

Your're right ,Jouney is pretty much an irrelevant band compared to REM.....compared to most any band actually
hicks727 2 years ago
No REM please cause it's rem = gay band

if you ever took a music lesson in your life you would have a clue. music IS like school and musicians like these are college grads and NOT frat fool wanna be cool music closed minded idiot!
ralphman2112 2 years ago
Huh??
hicks727 2 years ago
you were saying music is like school and to live and learn. you are right but probably never made it past 1st grade.listen 2 craig chaquico "sacred ground" he was a member of starship and is a professor of music. maybe then your appreciate it and trancsend the limits of your musical boundaries.
ralphman2112 2 years ago
You are actually telling me to listen to Craig Chaquico...lol And who is the frat boy now.??...he he...Next you'll be telling me to give a listen to Joe Satriani . "Dude he knows all the modes,lydian, dorian". What are you 12 years old....???? That music moves no one except adolescent boys.. You are the one who is closed mined. Put down the playstation 3 and join the grown ups.
hicks727 2 years ago
Just listened to Sacred Ground...(BTW I know Chaquico was in Starship I owned Modern Times...sucks ) Granted, the guys is talented. I am not questioning that but I think I heard Sacred Ground while I was doing my grocery shopping the other day. That faux, Native American,jazz fusion, muzak is nauseating.

In your profile, you also call other people "racists" in response to totally non-racist comments. Then you follow that with your comment about "fucking" Lindsay Lohan in 24 hours, and asking if that woiuld be rape. Here's my response back to you. If you were already last in line for brains, you could at least not let everybody know it by posting idiotic statements. Also, Lindsay Lohan will not be "fucking" you, and she wants you to stop yelling at her out the window of the short bus.

,,I hear Lindsay has lots of sex but I also hear she is lesbian in nature, does she rub clits with other girls to achive orgasm ?

what a lovely white girl, almost politically incorrect because of her femininity and obvious yearning for the man who loves her

@TheMainDon So this is the comment so many jumped on? Wow,... My only question is, why the "white girl" note? Do you feel like you're straying across the color line?

If someone could bottle the optimism of some 1980's tunes such as this, I think it could be the greatest antidepressant ever!

this is indeed a very good & uplifting song, you are right, just like "No Time To Lose" -Tarney Spencer Band, if you remember that one, it's here on youtube as well.

This was a hit in the late Winter & Spring of 1981. It gradually faded away throughout that Summer. So many memories.
