Jefferson Airplane - Comin' Back to Me (Surrealistic Pillow)
(Grace Slick, Jorma Kaukonen)
He's just an American boy
And he loves his machine
No back-talk from a machine
When was the last time a television set
Gave you shit about who you met last night?
No back-talk machine
If your motor doesn't turn over smooth for you
You don't feed it right
Give it a little grease
Give it a little gas
Drive straight on through the night
Man-made mechanical mover
Love your machine
You say nothing's right but natural things
Ah, you fool
Poison oak is a natural plant
Why don't you put some in your food
Natural food
I don't care if there's chemicals in it
Is long as my lettuce is crisp
Preservatives might just be preserving you
I think that's something you missed
Ya you missed it
Man-made mechanical mover
I love his machine
He's just an American boy
And I love his machine
Smooth moving steel
Keep your engine warm and wet
Be friendly to your steel
Feed it right, your mechanical pet
Then get behind the wheel
Put a little statch in the old Corvette
Then give it a feel
Smooth moving steel, give it a feel
Man-made mechanical mover
It'll move faster than you can

I just love what you wrote. Wish I could meet more people who think the same way. True love and all that...
When I hear this wonderful song I see a couple of specific things, don't know why, or what it means. I see a dusty street, in a crowded city. It's late summer, sometime in the sixties, leaves are a little yellow and orange. Air is still, and it's still hot It. Just reminds me of all the people out there, those who's been out there. No, I can't explain it.

Lae, letting go is what this whole thing is all about. We hope for reunification, but we dont know. Sure seems unlikely. I wish I could understand it. From what I've experienced, we never come back to the moment or even to eachother. We keep moving forward, even perhaps beyond our own mortality. But you expressed it so much more poignantly than I ever could. Peace.
