  • I got to see them do this right after it first came out.One of the best concerts I've ever been to in my life.I will always love their music.Mircles do happen !

  • style and content of video is superb. classic song. ... was in 4th grade when it came out.

  • This song came out years before I was even thought of, but I grew up on music like this. I'm 23 and I can really appreciate beautiful pieces of musical art like this. This is one of my all time favorite classic songs that I will always love. Beautiful song....

  • Best song of all time. Ever!

  • i will play this over and over and over and...just can't get enough!!! one of those classics that should NEVER go off!!! thanks for posting!!!

  • great song & lyrics

  • My first child was concieved while this song played softly on the stereo beside the bed. It sounds corny but very,very true. Still today, 36 years later, when my wife and I hear this masterpiece we both just stop and look at each other and just smile. Our minds zoom back years ago when we were locked in love, creating life and it seems that all the warmth felt back then comes back in a strange sort of way but still just as beautiful now as it was then. Thanks, this keeps me young.

  • Such an awesome classic !!

  • This song shimmers with a light that brings peace to the soul; it's a cool breeze before life got complicated - nostalgia for an easier life. It's like a beacon to lead us back, attuning us to how it felt so we can recapture it/recognize it. Rambling, sorry. Great song!

  • Marty Balin's voice has no equal; exquisite is an understatement. He sings and your soul vibrates.... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

    And this song (THIS album/long version - not the radio cut [ugh!]) is beyond brilliant. Definitely the best work of any "Jefferson" incarnation.... Have to play it over and over - it's addicting.

    And whatever your age - if you're not "in the mood" during or after listening to this super-seductive work of art, maybe you're not human (or dead; check your pulse)!

  • Airplane... J. Starship... Starship. Many incarnations... never missed a beat., Wow.

  • love this

  • I love this song......It's beautiful....

  • I wasn't born yet when this song came out. But dreamy songs like this and Nights In White Satin from The Moody Blues you just don't get much from todays bands or they are underground and hard to find.

  • im 25 and i love this song, its saying alot when generations decades later still love your music

  • One of my all time favs.....the song sends you to a dreamy place. When this song was out I thought I'd be young forever.

  • For so many years I have bought Marty Balins music and anything on him. I just think his music is so good and his voice was that of an angel. I was listening to him when I was about ten years old.lol Great Song sung by one the best of them all. God Bless You and thanks for this great post. smile

  • Great song from mid 70's I saw them in the old Cap Centre Landover when this song was climbing the charts. Love this song.

  • I can't believe it was 35 years ago I bought this in October 1975. Life goes way too fast.

  • One of my favorite songs of all time

  • timeless.

  • WHOA I always loved this song, but never knew all of the lyrics, what a sexy love song. These lyrics are sure to get you in the mood HA . Thanks for posting with these lyrics!

  • WOW WHATTA JAM!thx @2009denisem for this request! and big thanks to ridina94softail for this gem!

  • This is one of those songs that touches your heart strings and strums them intensely! Amazing song, Amazing lyrics, Amazing music..Amazing JEFFERSON STARSHIP! No music like this music ever!

    I do believe in Miracles! Peace!

    Thank you ridina94softail for posting this GEM!

  • @2009Denisem This is a nice smooth song that just melts your heart.....the kind of song you would play on a nice sunny Sunday afternoon relaxing in the garden. great post ridina94softail and thank you for sharing Denise.

  • This brings back so many memories. I love this song and I've always loved Marty Balin's singing.

  • Songs like this make us realize we are not getting any younger... but thankfully our generation's music is *timeless*

  • I love the way they handle the backing vocals on Balin tunes. Perfection.

  • Whether you like this performance or not you probably like the studio.I love this song. I think this song has a place in everyone's heart and you may have heard it a thousand times before that happened and if it hasn't yet it can still happen and if does it won't be a miracle but i guarantee you'll believe....Can i get a thumbs up from all those who believe??

  • great mellow song that brings back the good old days.

  • It is great when you feel this way.

  • thaks i used to sing this to my girlgriend when it first came out,i still sing it to her she's now my wife of 34 years and we still love it.

  • How absolutely thoughtful of you to have posted your memo, I read it with great enthusiasm. The Jefferson Starship, and some other bands from the mid 70's don't get the respect they deserve. I wish we could at least get some of your music on the classic rock rotation.

    Peace!

  • lovely, haunting, sensual....one of my favourite romantic ballads ever.

  • Have always LOVED this song!!!

  • absolutely LUV this song!!!!

  • This song is so romantic. Makes me melt. 

  • Freshman year of college, 1976.

  • The alpha waves of this song just flow!

    -Honest

  • I love this song...now I know who sings it and what the name is ! Thanks YouTube ; )

  • Pete, thanks for the footnotes. Istill see John Barbata once in awhile. We're both living in Oklahoma, and things are quiet here. I enjoyed seeing you guys play, and we met once in Houston when I worked at K.P.F.T., Pacifica radio. Alias

  • Thank You Jefferson Starship

  • for all of the love birds, to start your week off right.

  • One of the most romantic songs ever, I wasn't born when this came out, but listened to it alot growing up, for the one that falls with your whole heart, this one's for you.

  • Chills running all over my body.

  • I remember this song from when I was a young man, the world was so much different from today, such changes,but, the sentiment is still the same...I still believe in miracles...and never say never.....

  • I totally love this song!!!!

    Wanted to go see Jefferson Starship last week (5/19) in New York but was a bit ill that day. I so regret it, I wish they would come to Europe..

  • The first time I heard this song I knew it had special magic

  • One of those dreamy songs that can carry you away... love it.

  • a classic...

  • I love this song, it has a magic that would make you fall in love.

  • this song brings back my high school memories, beautiful times

  • if only you believe in miracles baby, so would I

  • Greatest song of all time, thanks.

  • Brilliant lyrics and beautiful song!

    Thank you and to Resonantforce for Fab share! xo

  • Great song by a great band!!

  • I'm lying back in the grass in the 70's with my transistor radio on the AM station.

    This song is playing and I'm staring at the clouds imagining the future.

  • Loved this song ever since the first time i heard it. They dont make music like this anymore.FYI: (im only 21) lol:)

  • Thanks for posting the extended version. I have been looking for it for awhile!

    Also great info from Pete Sears.

  • A million times later, it still sounds as good as the first time i heard it.

  • Deep....very deep.

  • The only thing I hate about this song... it ends too soon! :(

  • beautiful song

  • balin was the best they had...

  • I grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area

    back in the 60's. in the East Bay and we

    had a great music scene. But I was only a youngster during that time and all they

    played on the radio was The local cool

    bay area bands of the time. Grateful Dead

    Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape, Sly & the

    Family Stone. But when this song came

    out ////// This was my generation and in my

    personal opinion this song is one of the greatest songs ever recorded period.

  • I saw the original Jefferson Starship at the House of Blues in NYC in 2008. This song seriously brings back so many great memories of that concert and that trip that I have to hold back the tears. Thanks for the memories!

  • Sorry but they really don't make music like this anymore. So glad I am old enough to have grown up with such great music.

  • Just perfection

    -Back of my parents' Plymouth Valiant, driving through the Seventies Catskill Mountains, head tilted back, looking up at the clouds, stars through the rear windshield, Miracles playing on the stock AM radio.

    Thanks for putting this up for all of us.

  • Thanks for sharing the memory, Starplot. Got my head tilted back, eyes shut thinking about riding my bike home from school in the '70s. Totally free.

  • pretty please with sugar on it, this song is beautiful and a classic

  • when i hear jefferson starship it brings me back in time at the age of 17 17 years old was a wonderful experice for me in my life time a age to always remember a time of my life id always rememebr no matter how old iam the age 17 will always be in my mind body and soul iam so thankful of the music i had while growing up because of that my days that iam down its the muic thats puts a smile right back on my face

  • Beautiful

  • i know for me, a life changing song back when i was a teen..for sure...a perfect love song and a great theme to the concept of love...

    sometimes it takes a miracle, sometimes more than that..but thats the chance we do have to take in life sometimes, win or lose....

    damn it...losing sucks, but we have to pick ourselves up, kick ass and move on to bigger and better things and partners in life..take my word for it....to my past ladies, i love you all....and cant ever forget any of u...pete..

  • Thank you to the person who posted this beautiful song filled with so much love. I was only about 15 when this song came out. I was a romantic then, and still a romantic now. The heart doesn´t change thru the years, not mine anyway..........

  • This is a song I like to hear while I am looking up at dark winter skys in December towards the holiday season. It has that type of tone. Besides that very scenario is when I heard it for the 1st time in November 1975 from my friends parents radio. I was just 8 then, and I still like it.

  • I have very little official knowledge of music, but I read these lyrics and really appreciate the poetic nature of this song. So many hit songs have 3 or 4 short stanzas followed by the chorus. This song is a long dialogue or almost in soliloque form. Add the haunting melody and it is pure gold. Just don't make 'em like this anymore

  • There are just not enough words to explain the beauty of this song the beginning alone just puts you in a trans and throws you back in time when the world was a better place. I was 10yrs old when this came out and now I am 44 and when I have a bad day I listen to this and it takes the stress and tension away. Thank you Starship for sharing your gifts and talents with us.

  • I'm 62 and grew up with the Airplane. They were way ahead of their time and I still consider them my favorite band of the era and maybe of all time.

    My guitar still knows many of their songs.

  • 35 years later and this still makes the hair on my arms stand up. Perfect example of TIMELESS!

  • Yeah, I agree with that....Still one of the most amazing songs of all time......

  • miracles is what i shared with a love for 25 years - if only you believe.  we could exist on a star!

  • This is like the ultimate wake up in the middle of the night and make love song.....

  • man this is one sweeeeeet tune, I have always loved it... mid 40s now, so I think the 1st time I heard this I was like 5.

    Thank you VERY much for posting this, and alllll the great memories it has brought not just myself but to all your fans worldwide over the years

    Peace

  • @sysfixr You might have been a little older, I'm 39 and I was 5 or 6 the first time I heard it.  I think it came out in 1975 or 76, but was played a lot in 77 as well.

  • thanks for the info posted ..it only adds to the magic of this song even 30+ years later...

  • About 6 years ago I saw jefferson starship at the bottom line in new york city. Its was amazing. for 20 dollars I was 10 feet away from marty balin and paul kantner singiing all there hits.

    Grace slick was not there but it was still a great show. Paul kantner got very drunk and started screaming into the mic how the manager of the bottom line sucks. That was the last time they were aloud to perform at the now closed bottom line. What a show. they did all their hits.  the best in life cheap.

  • Great job on the video!

    One of my personal favorites - a song that's not only enjoyable to listen to musically, but the lyrics are food for thought, too.

    "I had a taste of the real world (just a drop of it)

    When I went down on you girl..."

  • This song is so beautiful, senuous, erotic...

  • that's how I like it!

  • hmmm.. such a sexy song..

  • Wow, great job on the video! Thanks for posting this great song.

  • Great video post, just one of the many hits from Haight Ashbury and travels with the White Rabbit...

  • Incredible. It is very moving to view the photos of the band toward the end of this video, seeing how Grace looks now compared to just 25 years ago, and then viewing the photo of the member who died in 1990. Life is so sad. We all get older, we all die, and all great things and life come to and end, just as did Jefferson Airplane and the 1960s.

  • Truly beautiful song! Beautiful then and beautiful now. Music today doesn't even come a fraction close to these masterpieces! Thanks for posting!

  • Totally agree!!

  • Truly a timeless classic.A beautiful song that makes me yearn for the 70s.I know....it's strange,but that's how this song makes me feel.

  • one of the best song ever!

  • One of my most favorite songs since I was a kid. First time I've read all the words to it .....Whoa!

  • What a magical tune.......they don't make them like this masterpiece anymore.

  • My uncle Danno Hanks worked security for Starship in the 80's. Got me backstage at Irvine Meadows to meat Grace. So cool! I was 17.

  • totally amazing bass line.

  • I want to thank "You Tube" for giving me the oppertunitey to here this again. I am 57 and listen to this and other greats every night after work. Thank you so much for one of the greastest songs ever.

  • Is possible for one man to love one woman for the whole of his life and be a better man for it? Is possible to make love last, to endure all, to last as long as the ideal conveyed in this timeless song? Anybody, anybody, say it is so.

  • Always liked this song but haven't heard it in a while. Was watching the movie Crank and toward the end of the movie, the main character was falling from a helicopter and basically to his death, when this song was played. I almost came out of my chair...the most perfectly haunting song for the perfect occasion. There was NO better song to play while this guy was falling. Cool to see on youtube and thanks for the lyrics. Appreciate your time and efforts.

  • This is truly the most poetic off all the groups songs-I was 9 when this came out. When you can capture the attention of a 9 yr old and send her mind reeling in childlike romance-you have truly done something "miraculous".

  • antidiz you are totally right . Me too

  • Now, this is music baby... I grew up listening to Starship......

  • WOW as good as 30 years ago, floods my mind, of a time long ago when life seemed a lot less complex.

  • Comment removed

  • they don't make songs or groups like this anymore..loved JANE when i was younger and heard this recently on a re run episode of JOURNEYMAN and fell in love with this song...i can't stop playing it

  • If only you would believe like I believe....

    I have always loved this song since the first time I heard it... touching and haunting at the same time, flowing and tight at the same time, and this is the extended version--- I'm loving every second of it!!

  • Marty's voice is majestic!! This is the best song Jefferson had ever done, whether we're talking about J. Airplane or J. Starship.

  • I love this song !

  • great song one of my favs along with hyperdrive on Dragon Fly another great LP

  • great song, thanks for posting, this band has written some realy gret songs that will live for ever

  • song is awsome thanks for posting been looking for this full song for a few years now just need the lyrics with it then it would be cool for singing

  • Songs are memories and this one is a dream from the past.......

  • Amazing, simply amazing

  • This is truly one of the most beautiful love songs ever. The lyrics bring back memories for me that will last a lifetime and beyond.........Eternal Love XX

  • M y s t i c a l

  • Was sad when they played this at the end of crank

  • Nothing makes me feel as old...or as young, as hearing this song.

  • Great Song, I was 7 years old when this came out. This song and " With Your Love" are two of their best!

  • Love making in a song baby! Love it!!

  • Tolles Video, gute Ideen, z.B. die Wolke und

    Mooz

  • The most beautiful love song ever!

  • i agree w/ you bud it dosen't get better than this

  • absolutely heavenly, what a gorgeous song!!!!!

  • Pure bliss.

  • Brings back memories. I remember recording from my record player to a cassette tape, no one home so there wouldn't be any extra sounds coming through. Hi tech all the way.

  • One of the nicest sweetest songs back in the day. I was like 11,12 years old when this came out, but I remember WABC in NYC would wear this darn song out day in and out. And now I have it on my Ipod.

  • Hands down my favorite Jefferson Starship song! Grace Slicks back up vocals make this song even better.

  • this song is so peaceful

    ITS AWSOME

  • anyone else digging the bassline?

  • if you manage to tab out this bassline, I'll be forever in your debt

  • One of my favorite songs from the 70"s

  • Beautiful Song, my freshman yr "75" uwisc-river falls,,,,,,  brings back alot of GOOD memories, awesome songs ,,,,,,,then, and eighties, and now,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ahhh 1975, lol

  • I love this song, its just so peaceful.

  • one of the best songs ever written and only Jefferson could've done it this well...

  • I Love this Beautiful song !!!

  • It's so sensual, it nice that it insinuates instead of coming right out and being so crude like the songs now days.

  • If this does not bring back 1975 nothing does

  • those were the days!!!!

  • I'm not sure where I first heard this song, since I was born the year after it was recorded. But it's just transcendent.

  • great song. brings back a ton of great memories from h.s. and early love. the music today cant touch great songs like this one. thanks.

  • A great song and beautiful montage! I've always enjoyed this record by Jefferson Starship and am grateful you posted it here in the full-version.Kudos!Thank you!

  • one of the sexiest songs ever, what incredible rythem!!

  • The greatest love song EVER! Marty Balin has never sounded better and Mickey Thomas can't compare! Thanks so much for the post and Pete....Thanks to you for the great work!!!!

  • After hearing this song I had to find the lyrics for it cause I wanted to make sure i was hearing them correctly. So after i found them, it made this song even MORE incredible. What a remarkable love song this is! WOW Parts gave me chills! THIS is want i want for my soul mate! Thanks for such a beautiful moving song!!!

  • bueatiful man

  • sexy passionate song wow gives me chills!!!!

  • brilliant brilliant brilliant !!

  • Red Octopus! One of the first 8 tracks I ever owned. This song is going on an ipod I'm filling up for when I go into the old folk's home! (Now where did I put those liesure suits?)

  • Beyond awesome !! I am a Grace Slick fan and anytime I hear her voice, I close my eyes and relish every note.

  • they are many song out there, but few can touch the world like this one..

  • it's transcendentally-beyond expression and measure,thank you!!!

  • One of the greatest love songs ever.

  • Thank-you!!

  • it still seems to break a taboo today, through the erotic vulnerability and joy of the male voice, and his statement, "I had a taste of the real world/when I went down on you". Lyrics today may be more graphic, but they are seldom link sexual/emotional/spiritual stuff like this love song does. That's why this one moves me. The erotic love is also a spiritual bursting-into-flower, truly passionate.

  • Amazing lyrics...you can feel his intense passion for her...nobody writes them like this anymore.

  • MasterPiece.

  • I am completely mesmerized!!.....such beauty, is beyond words!..;-)

  • S ~ I can't even believe it with you ~

    it's like having every dream I ever wanted come true ~ A
