So my new obsession is this band Jefferson Airplane. They're one of these sixties psychedelic bands and as I said on my facebook status, just listening to their music took me on an acid trip. The two songs I'm obsessed with are "White Rabbit," and "Somebody To Love." All of their songs are actually blatantly about drugs and their lyrics definitely show it but they sound poetic. Lyrics to White Rabbit
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 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
Feed your head"
The white rabbit helped me think of a cool scene which is an important plot point and bridges some important gaps.
