Biography

US band formed in 1974 following the breakup of [a=Jefferson Airplane]. [a=Jack Casady] and [a=Jorma Kaukonen] left the Airplane to concentrate on their side-project [a=Hot Tuna], the majority of the band ([a=Paul Kantner], [a=Grace Slick], [a=David Freiberg], [a=John Barbata] and [a=Papa John Creach]) formed Jefferson Starship, with the addition of Craig Chaquico on lead guitar and Pete Sears on bass and keyboards. They recorded their first band album, Dragonfly, in 1974. The band name had been used four years earlier for the all-star band - including [a=David Crosby], [a=Graham Nash] and Grateful Dead members [a=Jerry Garcia], [a=Bill Kreutzmann] and [a=Mickey Hart] - backing Kantner on his solo album "Blows Against the Empire," credited to Paul Kantner and Jefferson Starship, but it wasn't until 1974 a real band was bearing the name. From 1974 and on the band has undergone almost endless line-up changes finally leaving the band with only one of its original members, David Freiberg. Grace Slick was let off in 1978, reportedly due to alcoholic misbehaving, but rejoined the band in 1981. Band leader Kantner left the group in 1984, and a settlement prohibiting the use of the band name (unless all original members were in the band) forced it to change its name to just [a=Starship (2)].

LYRICS

He's gonna go down, If I keep turning him around. I don't want to see him go, Don't want to see him go. No, because he's seen A lot of fast-talkin' women. I believe, I believe, I'd better take it slow, Because I know, I know that this is love, And this is the day. This is love, This is the day. Oh, this is love, This is the day, The day that he's drivin' on ice. Whoa, but his body's full of fire and flyin'. Smile on his face looks so nice, but he's just so tired of tryin'. The morning brings cold weather and, The nights are all alone; And he thinks about that woman and he wonders, Ah! Will she ever know that he's lovin' her; Oh, he's lovin' her Like he's, never loved, Like he's never loved before. And bein' alone, Just not that easy anymore. But don't you be sorry, No, don't you be sad. Ah, you know things change. The woman isn't gonna wanna keep you, No! Any longer, than you want to stay. Well, so go to her, When you think you know, This is love, this is the day. This is love, this is the day. This is love, Oh, this is love, This is the day.
