Add Your New Review About The Song The Reviews about Somebody to Love (page 1/1) ------ performed by Jefferson Airplane Some of it is obvious, no? | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/25/09 The lyrics do not say full of BREAD ALL CAPS, it's RED, a reference to being red in the face (drinking) or having red eyes (smoking marijuana). www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=red The garden of flowers is Eden-like imagry of the Flower Children from the late 1960's. Many Flower Children died young from their lifestyle, others from being sent to fight in the Vietnam War. Who doesn't "see red" with anger when they find somebody to love then lose that person? "Your eyes may look like his" and "you don't know where it is" seems to me like what happens when a woman has been given a date-rape drug. She might sleep with a monster if her drink has been spiked with something strong enough to make him able to pass for....let's see, what's a good example of a sexy man from that time.......how about Jim Morrison? By the time she wakes up he's gone. He may have left something behind though. People tend to say of a child "your eyes look like his." Baby not knowing "where it is" alludes to a pregnancy where more than one man could be the child's father or the mother can't even remember the circumstances of the child's conception. Being treated like a guest by friends implies being suddenly snubbed which people might do to a woman in that circumstance even today when people have no excuses for their ignorance as they had then. But sooner or later, what goes around does come around. They R Tru, I was there | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/13/09 Grace Slick doesn't paint a perfect picture with her lyrics. She uses symbols. You Tube has a great interview by her where she explains her generation didn't dig Tupperware parties and things that were popular in the 50's. The dead garden flowers could represent the "Garden Club". A society club filled with hate who treats their friends as guests because they are superficial, materialistic, and do not have real friends. Being born in the 50's and living as a teen in the 60's, these lyrics make perfect sense. The term we used back then for fake people were "they were plastic". You had to have lived back then to understand the evolution of 60's change. RK | Reviewer: Alex | 9/10/08 I have to disagree. All I hear is "guest". I don't know about anyone else but my friends don't treat me like a guest. They treat me like I live at their homes as well. If I ask for a drink, they tell me that I should know where the glasses and fridge are by now. I absolutely see your point and I have no idea where Jefferson's actual lyrics are. It's possible that Grace didn't sing the written lyrics every time. I know Maynard of Tool changes lyrics all the time. And "where it's at" makes more sense but all I hear is "where it." Then again, this is only a lyric site and of all the things to be concerned about, this isn't really one of them. Lyrics not quite right here | Reviewer: RK | 7/31/08 There are several points where I suspect the lyrics as provided here are wrong. Most particularly, in the last stanza they are given as: "...and your friends baby they treat you like a guest." No, no, no, and if you listen closely to Grace singing it (say, by using an iPod and headphones) you will clearly hear the correct words: "... and your friends, baby, they treat you like a pest." Think about it: your friends are in relationships. You're not (which is why you need to find somebody to love). And so, because you're the odd man/woman out, you keep bugging your friends. "Let's go to a movie", "can I come over for dinner?" etc. The single guy or gal becomes a pest to all the former single guy/gal friends who are now couples. Duh! Or think it of this way: when you are single, and all your friends are couples, WHY would they treat you like a "guest"? What, 'cause single people who haven't anybody to love are special and need to use the guest bedroom? I suspect a lot of the other lyrics given here are also garbled. In the third stanza, line 2, I think it ends, "... you don't know where it's at," not "where it is." The term "where it's at" was common slang in the '60s and '70s; meanwhile, again, the term "where it is" doesn't mean anything in this context. But my hearing is not acute enough to really pick out the precise words she uses. Did Jefferson Airplane never publish the actual words anywhere? SOmebody to love | Reviewer: Anonymous | 6/8/07 Julliette and the licks cover, its a real piece of shit. NO need to do such a disgusting thing to a great song, they should be decapited for doing that ridicoulous version.
