Jefferson Airplane was the first of the San Francisco psychedelic rockgroups of the 1960s, primarily the vehicle of guitarist Jorma Kaukonenand vocalist Grace Slick. Initially, the female vocalist for the group was , but due to a strong family commitment she was replaced by Grace Slick in 1966, originally from The Great Society. They then took a rather controversial path, adopting both the drug-taking hippie ethos and the left-wing, antiwar political movement of "hippie" counterculture. Grace was a big part of the band's commercial success, "White Rabbit" (written by her) and "Somebody to Love" (written by Grace's brother-in-law, Great Society guitarist Darby Slick) being the two most recognized tunes. Rock historians have suggested that Grace Slick helped to break the mold of the typical female musician.

Eskimo Blue Day Lyrics
Jefferson Airplane
Snow cuts loose from the frozen
Until it joins with the african sea
In moving it changes its cold and its name
The reason I come and go is the same
Animal game for me
You call it rain
But the human name
Doesnt mean shit to a tree
If you dont mind heat in your river and
Fork tongue talking from me
Swim like an eel fantastic snake
Take my love when its free
Electric feel with me
You call it loud
But the human crowd
Doesnt mean shit to a tree
Change the strings and notes slide
Change the bridge and string shift down
Shift the notes and bride sings
Fire eating people
Rising toys of the sun
Energy dies without body warm
Icicles ruin your gun
Water my roots the natural thing
Natural spring to the sea
Sulphur springs make my body float
Like a ship made of logs from a tree
Redwoods talk to me
Say it plainly
The human name
Doesnt mean shit to a tree
Snow called water going violent
Damn the end of the stream
Too much cold in one place breaks
Thats why you might know what I mean
Consider how small you are
Compared to your scream
The human dream
Doesnt mean shit to a tree
