Not just good for its time, not simply great music, vibe, voice, or sound. Also a superb lesson to all songwriters how in just 3 minutes you can tell a story and raise emotions to a crescendo and force people to stop, close their eyes and listen all the way through. Genius.
Any time I hear this, I can't help but wonder what they were thinking with the transition to Jefferson Starship. 🤮 Same with Heart. I'll take Magic Man or Barracuda over These Dreams any day.
For a story in 3 minutes; may I humbly suggest 'Up the Junction' by Squeeze. It's a much more domestic story, but it is utterly realistic, tragic and real, real, real. ua-cam.com/video/RQciegmLPAo/v-deo.html
This is an enduring masterpiece, one of the most haunting songs of the late 60s. Like others here, Grace Slick's voice and the whole vibe of this song never fails to move me intensely. I still have goosebumps minutes after I listened to it.
@@terilane1129 I watched a Grace Slick interview some yrs ago but still she must have been in her 60's and she looked beautiful as ever. I love Grace Slick/this song.💗🎹🍄
The length of a song was set by the FCC. All songs could only last about two minutes. This eventually changed with longer songs that were in demand by the listeners and the sponsor/advertisers were forced to go with the plan. The Beetles, Rolling Stones and even Donna Summers were a few of these artists with longer top money grossing songs.
This is 1000% better than anything MTV has put out in the last 15 years...imagine a real band where the lead singer can actually sing....what a concept.
I still love this song after all these years. I read Alice's Adventures In Wonderland many times when I was a boy. Later on I understood it somewhat more after I tried hallucinogens. I think Lewis Carroll had a thing for little girls though....Still, it's a fantastic story and this is a dreamy song. Very imaginative
Lyrics One pill makes you larger And one pill makes you small And the ones that mother gives you Don't do anything at all Go ask Alice When she's ten feet tall And if you go chasing rabbits And you know you're going to fall Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar Has given you the call Call Alice When she was just small When the men on the chessboard Get up and tell you where to go And you've just had some kind of mushroom And your mind is moving low Go ask Alice I think she'll know When logic and proportion Have fallen sloppy dead And the White Knight is talking backwards And the Red Queen's off with her head Remember what the dormouse said Feed your head Feed your head
This song never gets old I can remember when it first came out it had so many different meanings to so many different people depending on the age of course but I just loved it I absolutely love to be I love the words I love the music we need more music like this in our life I don't know when the world decided that everything should be canned music but that's what it pretty much turned out to a bunch of slush and canned music sure we've got about 30 40 really good country western artists out there now but we've also got about 60% of slush canned music well you know it's just all the same music with just different words but go ask Alice that's fine one of my favorites my friend's favorites my husband's favorites my kids favorites and I mean something to all of us something different it's the awesome song so thank you for sharing it with the world the world loves it I'm sure
Listen only to the sound of my voice Let your mind relax Let your thoughts drift Let the bad memories fade Let peace be upon you Surrender yourself to your dreams Let them wash over you like the gentle waves of the bluest ocean Let them envelop you. Comfort you Imagine somewhere calm Imagine somewhere safe Imagine yourself in a frozen forest You're standing in a clearing Trees around you so tall, they touch the sky Pure white snowflakes fall all around You can feel them melt on your skin You are not cold It cannot overcome the warmth of your beating heart Can you hear it? You only have to listen You hear it slowing? You're slowing it You are in control Calm. At peace
This feelings, they said everything in that time there... I was born 77....it feels sometimes like the last try of humankind to tell the world wat is really Goin on. God bless you all.
I grew up as a teenager in the early to late 70's. Several friends would have huge parties at their house when their parents were gone - those were the days. The ten or 15 guys & gals several have passed on from illnesses. I love watching that shroom grow.
Saw them in concert great band great times even tho I was to young to know wtf was going on with the draft etc I knew this band made statements for the time and cause 👍
Dark Capitulator lsd was the governments first attempt at mind control. Charles Manson had luck with it. Which is honestly why I think he's still alive. He was good at mind control.
LSD---Is and was for 'wuzzes'--a Creation of the CIA to lace into the fabric of millions of Americans, whom they could at will--PURGE, From Society. Go to the East, cinderello and find the Blue Lotus. and listen to the Anthem of Men......
I grew up in the 1980's long after this song was made and after the Airplane became a Starship, but I never forgot that this song taught me at an early age to be wary when venturing into the wonders of this world. The Door-mouse warned us to be educated as well as mindfull.
It is no secret that I ventured far down into the rabbit hole. I do not regret my journey nor do I wish to close the door on it. The only thing I have left from my time spent down there, is wonderful memorys in my minds eye.With eyes wide shut, & my stomach tied in a knot, 60 miles a second feet from the same spot. With the snake bite came pain, registering blood with its Fang, it spit its bitter poison that flowd in vain.Yes to think about that time still brings an unmistakable smile to my face. A strange environment in a different space.What I experienced within my trip, you would not understand and I could never explain.Don't get me wrong, I in no way glorify that lifestyle as I have left it far behind, but when asked about my time spent down there?I can not lie, it was a wonderful, spiritual expanding, mind bending experience and I would not change it for the world.
If you were on deaths door and new you were going to die soon would try it again? You know not be with it but back where ever? I think for those medical purposes why give just morphine they should offer shrums if the patient wants it.
😊👍👍SHE IS, I'm sure of it.💗 I watched an interview w/Ms Slick when she must have been in her 60's and she looked fantastic, I was so happy to see her...I just love her.💗🎵
When Doctor Gonzo asks you to throw the stereo into the bathtub with him, throw an orange at him instead. Imagine if Fear and Loathing in Wonderland was actually a thing.
I swear on my mother's grave when I was in the hospital after surgery when ever I asked for pain medicine in my port this song came on in my head it was really creepy!
Didn't know this song until a WWE Superstars who got released about 2 years and now he's using this song so I had to look it up too c who's the artist..but he's coming back 👹👹👹👹..The fiend...

I finally found it! 8 years, and I've succeeded in finding this song. I heard it in a (Nerd Warning!) WoW PvP video (Ferahgo: NEVER - Ft Conquix) so long ago and actually enjoyed this song!

Unique voice for back in the day.
Classic acid song. Loved it on shrooms LSD and the king peyote. So perfect back in my kid days.
You can be sober and still feel high while listening too this. Such a short epic masterpiece.
And this is the extended version! But they probably felt like it was hours!
there is nothing about this song that is not wonderful. it cant be loud enough.....

I was 19 years old in 1967 when this album came out. I don't know why, but I totally missed Jefferson Airplane. What music, what a voice. I am so sad.
aaw don't be sad .. you haven't missed them altogether :D and there's Nothing like the first time :D
Don't be sad...You found it!
I was born in 67 💜✌🏻
Grace Slick was the voice of her generation, absolutely sublime!
Why doesn't this have MILLIONS OF VIEWS??!! EXCELLENT!!!!

This was from 1967, not the '70's.

Just added this to my "White Rabbit Obsession" UA-cam playlist!
Yes, ONLY negative to this song is it's too short. One of my all-time favorites.
Right top short

Lyrics
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When the men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head

Listen only to the sound of my voice
Let your mind relax
Let your thoughts drift
Let the bad memories fade
Let peace be upon you
Surrender yourself to your dreams
Let them wash over you like the gentle waves of the bluest ocean
Let them envelop you. Comfort you
Imagine somewhere calm
Imagine somewhere safe
Imagine yourself in a frozen forest
You're standing in a clearing
Trees around you so tall, they touch the sky
Pure white snowflakes fall all around
You can feel them melt on your skin
You are not cold
It cannot overcome the warmth of your beating heart
Can you hear it?
You only have to listen
You hear it slowing?
You're slowing it
You are in control
Calm. At peace
Toastyplace Nice B ops 3 reference

Completely surrealistic what a great escape. I’ve been down that rabbit hole before
This is the weirdest music video ever--that actually matches the feel of the song.
Its not wierd. But I guess for some it could be. Lol

Former Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna guitarist Jorma Kaukonen is on my list of influences right now.
This was originally written for matrix 4, it just took them till now to make the movie...
Lol
Hay idiot look for the original go ask alice movie release Date. Matrix used the song which was the theme song for the ORIGINAL movie MORON
The original movie GO ASK ALICE was in 1973 dumb ass
So many dumbasses with no real KNOWLEDGE ON FACTS.

great montage to the greatest LSD anthem ever scored! well done!
