When I first heard this song, I told my friend that it would be a perfect song to end a long running sitcom for. And I told him my idea of how the sitcom should end and then he told me about the series finale to Friends. :\
@SomeDribbly1 welcome ;) So awesome to still see people say "recently" in 2011 while the show ended in 2004. This song was on the last episode of the last season, season 10. And though it's been 7 years, I'm still watching and loving every single episode of Friends on my iPad.
Riding through the NorCal redwoods on a righteous chopper never sounded so good. Sunlight filtering through the redwoods. Incredible instrumental! Thank you, Jourma along with the rest of the Airplane!
Shows how good (and underappreciated) instrumentals can be. It really is a monumental piece, beautiful and wordlessly lyrical. A-MAY-ZING!!!! When, in the '80s, Jorma came to Chicago, he played it in the Navy Pier auditorium and at the close folks exploded into applause. Beautiful music at a beautiful location on a beautiful lake. Thanks for this original bit of Americana!
this song makes me cry every time when i listening and all my beautiful memories start to come.. and this song it's from heaven ...this is something magic...:(
And my freespirit61, you are my purporse and happiness every moment of every day forever we'll be in this life and those thereafter. My inner spirit rocks with your rainbow aura all around. Love you for infinity baby <38888888<3!!
This song represents, for me, the absolute essence of San Francisco music. Powerful, evocative, and moving. I'm from England, but wow, I wish I'd been in that city when this album was first released.
The greatest guitar instrumental ever recorded in my opinion.
So much subtlety in this performance, the dynamics, the tone, the rhythm, the phrasing But most of all the feeling. All in just under two minutes.Musicians take note, this is how it's done. Jorma really is a giant of the guitar and the older I get the more I know it.
@nonthere For me this guitar piece is defining. It's evocative. It invites the listener to imagine and to dream and to soar. For many, the 60s were about "class struggle," but for me the 60s were about learning to think and feel in new ways. In that sense, this piece defines that decade.
@Glencanon4au You're the first on this thread that got to the heart of it. If the '60s were just about politics then everyone would forget it. But here we are all trying to get back to it in a way (hopefully with more intelligence). This piece is a fleeting yet never-ending bright spring morning.
As for the Friends crowd: Reread what Glencanon4au wrote. Jorma, the Airplane and what they meant will be remembered long after that shitty little show disappears down the cosmic shithole.
@Glencanon4au That is beautiful, and you are soooo lucky to have been alive & a part of that time, I think it was a very special time, someone said of the 60's "I think something very extraordinary is happening right now, a lot of power is being given to young people" roughly paraphrased, Edie Sedgwick, who was definitely a part of the '60's.
You have entirely missed the point of this video, both the music and the visual. Listen and look again, this time without thinking about the show. Since when does Jorma become a footnote to some crappy sitcom?
@nonthere Yeah, I made this as a Jefferson Airplane and hippies tribute video, but I love Friends, and I think that the last scene with this song is brilliant. It has a huge sentimental thing that can only be expressed with a masterpiece like this, and I'm sure that lots of people have discovered J.A.music because of Friends.
@martislick Sorry, I didn't mean to insult your taste in TV, especially since you are the big cheese of this thread.
I just got a little annoyed that the first thing so many (young, I presume) posters would bring up was a TV show way after the fact. It's like going to see the cathedral of Notre Dame and only noticing the souvenir shop. Thanks so much for this video.
@nonthere Don't worry, I didn't feel insulted. I understand what you mean and sometimes i feel the way you do, but you know, I think that you can also go to Notre Dame to see the souvenir shop, see all the shirts and all the stuff and love them, and then choose to see the real Notre Dame, and love it even more :)
Seeing this makes me think of decades past, when people could dance like this without thinking about climate change or wars or protests or oil or the world ending. Things really have changed.
Thirty odd years ago I joined the crew of a sailing ship and spent the next three years sailing all over a good chunk of the world. This song was with me the whole time. Last weekend, much older now, I went Kayaking up a quiet river with my lovely wife Sadie. This song was with me the whole time.
Whenever I think that one person cannot hope to make a difference I think of Embryonic Journey and how the song has stayed with me like a warm dream through all of these years.
God came to me to save a gf from my past with whom I had no knowledge of her failing and impending failing, all from dream in which I touched her rosary while she laid in her casket. That touch had a million bits of info attached to them and all were true. I know this is deep but I came to her and helped her, knowing that in the end 'things would not work' well for me. Believe in God or don't but don't make your heart a lion's den.
When I heard this song for the first time I felt like I was walking under the surface of a crystal clear sea on a most beautiful sunny day you can imagine. Now, I'm not exactly Mr.Brightside and I was never too crazy about "let's all be friends" and other hippie concepts, but this song is simply beautiful.
Some people say they wish they were born earlier, so they could be a part of these times. But to reach a state of love, freedom, understanding and respect for nature, it's possible, always. Take the journey to set the spirit free! In whatever way that feels right. Love from Norway.
@Skogrotta i think most youth who wished they'd been part of this movement desire so for escape or another hit of emotionalism. the only people who ever truely get free are those who put aside their own desires and work toward reconcile to God. not all paths lead to enlightenment, as the hippies demonstrated.
@80sOGRE Not to sure what im seeking but im pretty young and ive got a long life ahead of me to figure that out but god has absolutely nothing to do with it, I am sure of that much.
@Skogrotta It's not that they want to reach a state of love, freedom, understanding, and respect for nature. It's that they want it on a Bigger Scale than just themselves..It needs to happen again.
@nounever easier to bring the 60's to us than us to the 60's,people need to chill with the rat race and learn to love each,love can still be free if society could just cast of it's superfiscal nurture,imposed on us by the corporate powers that be
@dontcensorme1 It's very possible they both have that same flow. I don't what they wrote this song about, but Led Zeppelin wrote Bron-yr-aur about their cottage (with a little help ;) )
We weren't all 'Hippies', "Flower Child" was an epithet I always preferred. It seemed to better capture the heart of us '60s children.
I miss it, but not the sex or drugs, mostly the celebration of love which seemed to be everywhere.
The Jesus movement also flourished because of the love. It's the closest I've ever felt to Heaven.
This song so delights in the sound of traveling, hope and bliss. It takes me back to when the point to living was the dream of forever love here & the life to come.
Pezzo strumentale di Jorma Kaukonen del '67.Vedere il bambino che corre sorridente nel video,mi fa compiere un viaggio nel tempo.Peccato non sia possibile restarci.
I hate to be racist, but damn...why didn't white people stay like this? And why do the uptight white boys hate hippies? I hear Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity malign these people, when in reality, this is the only type of white person I feel can get along with and live in harmony with everyone else in th world...It sucks :(..I hate making generalizations.
@adamlivs Well said. I was 17 in 1969 and living near NYC so i got the full 60's experience. One thing that a lot of people don't realize is the camaraderie that existed between the long hairs. They really felt connected to each other. That was a result of the fact that a lot of people in the older generation saw us as a threat. We had a strong anti-violence ethic too which made their fear of us even more irrational.
@adamlivs (continued). If you are wondering about what happened to the hippies look up something called COINTELPRO. The far right hated us white hippies as much as they hated the blacks. COINTELPRO was set up by the FBI to destroy the black community and the hippie community. Fred Hampton's murder by the pigs was part of that black op. Of course the operation was completely illegal but you know how the far right is. Laws, justice and the Constitution mean nothing to them.
@adamlivs (continued) The hippies got heavy exposure to the Blues through groups like The Stones and The Yardbirds. When they traced it back they found that it was invented by black people and that resulted in a very deep admiration for the black community and their artistic ability. Here it is 40 years later and i still feel the same way. How anybody can think of them as inferior is a mystery to me.
Of all the instrumentals from that period, this is the one I remember. I loved the way this piece invites the listener to relax and rejoice at the same time.
@bbm187 It's important to realize that things are always changing and the past can't be held onto. However that doesn't mean your generation can't experience something just as good. Take what you like about the 1960's and update it. Make it even better. In 40 years people will be idolizing the period that you grew up in and you'll be able to be proud of what you did.
We're just a band that likes this kind of music and relates more to the 60's, 70's and 90's than today's music. We're just looking to be heard, if you would actually take the time to listen one of our songs on our channel and comment, we would really appreciated it. Thanks Peace.

hippies epitomized the expression deluded fools many became dope addicted
'freaks' some though managed to make their vague dreams a kind of reality through the establishment of communes

We weren't all 'Hippies', "Flower Child" was an epithet I always preferred. It seemed to better capture the heart of us '60s children.
I miss it, but not the sex or drugs, mostly the celebration of love which seemed to be everywhere.
The Jesus movement also flourished because of the love. It's the closest I've ever felt to Heaven.
This song so delights in the sound of traveling, hope and bliss. It takes me back to when the point to living was the dream of forever love here & the life to come.

I hate to be racist, but damn...why didn't white people stay like this? And why do the uptight white boys hate hippies? I hear Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity malign these people, when in reality, this is the only type of white person I feel can get along with and live in harmony with everyone else in th world...It sucks :(..I hate making generalizations.

@adamlivs Well said. I was 17 in 1969 and living near NYC so i got the full 60's experience. One thing that a lot of people don't realize is the camaraderie that existed between the long hairs. They really felt connected to each other. That was a result of the fact that a lot of people in the older generation saw us as a threat. We had a strong anti-violence ethic too which made their fear of us even more irrational.

@adamlivs (continued). If you are wondering about what happened to the hippies look up something called COINTELPRO. The far right hated us white hippies as much as they hated the blacks. COINTELPRO was set up by the FBI to destroy the black community and the hippie community. Fred Hampton's murder by the pigs was part of that black op. Of course the operation was completely illegal but you know how the far right is. Laws, justice and the Constitution mean nothing to them.

@adamlivs (continued) The hippies got heavy exposure to the Blues through groups like The Stones and The Yardbirds. When they traced it back they found that it was invented by black people and that resulted in a very deep admiration for the black community and their artistic ability. Here it is 40 years later and i still feel the same way. How anybody can think of them as inferior is a mystery to me.

God, id give anything to be alive and part of all that back then. Back when music had meaning, passions and talent.

Of all the instrumentals from that period, this is the one I remember. I loved the way this piece invites the listener to relax and rejoice at the same time.

a long and winding road.
Here's to you all; pechuli (insence) princesses,daytrippers.
My sweet baby boy Ari and wonderful Mom.
Too broken to be the man you needed.
Broken dreams indeed; but found in the mud dying side the road and given new life.
Love you groovy friends of yesteryear and pray we meet again.

@bbm187 It's important to realize that things are always changing and the past can't be held onto. However that doesn't mean your generation can't experience something just as good. Take what you like about the 1960's and update it. Make it even better. In 40 years people will be idolizing the period that you grew up in and you'll be able to be proud of what you did.

We're just a band that likes this kind of music and relates more to the 60's, 70's and 90's than today's music. We're just looking to be heard, if you would actually take the time to listen one of our songs on our channel and comment, we would really appreciated it. Thanks Peace.
