Jefferson Starship-Miracles

  Jefferson Airplane合唱團的主唱、創團人與吉它手Marty Balin九月27日不幸去世（76歲），他二年前在紐約做過心臟手開刀手術。

     Marty Balin寫和演唱的的"Miracles" (#3-1975)，是Jefferson Starship 排行榜名次最高的歌，他個人則有一首"Hearts" (#8-1981)進入Top10。

  Marty Balin在Jefferson Airplane時期演唱過的暢銷曲有"Somebody To Love" (#5-1967) 及"White Rabbit" (#8-1967)，但他於1971離團而去，1975他又重新加入改名Jefferson Starship的這個合唱團，除了"Miracles" (#3-1975)以外，還有With Your Love" (#12-1976) 與 "Count On Me" (#8-1978)二首暢銷曲，然後於1978年再度離團。

     Marty Balin 於1985年與Jefferson Airplane的老隊友Paul Kantner（吉它手） 與 Jack Casady（貝斯手）另組過KBC Band ，但只有一首It’s Not You，It’s Not Me獲得排行榜第89名。

  1996年Marty Balin以Jefferson Airplane團員身份進入搖滾樂名人堂。

  因為法律問題，Jefferson Starship團名後來縮短成Starship，主唱是Grace Slick與取代Marty Balin的 Micky Thomas，他們有We Built This City、Sara及Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now三首冠軍曲，在排行榜上的成績非常好。

    來自舊金山的Jefferson Airplane/Starship在歷年暢銷歌星排行榜獲得第73名。

  RIP Marty Balin

Jefferson Starship

- written by Marty Balin

- from the 1975 #1 album "Red Octopus" by Jefferson Starship

- single peaked at #3 in 1975

If only you believe like I believe, baby, like I believe,

We'd get by.

If only you believe(d) in miracles, so would I.  (2x)

I might have to move heaven and earth to prove it to you, baby.

So we're making love, you feel the power and I feel the power.

And there's really nothing we can('t) do

(You know we could, you know we could)

If we wanted to...

(You know we could, you know we could)

We could exist on the stars, it was so easy.

(Oh Baby...)

All we got to do is get a little faith in you.

Woh, I've been so many places I've seen some things (yes I have)

I know that love is the answer (yes it is)

Keeps holding this world together (oh yeah)

Ain't nothing better? Ain't nothing better?(Nothing's better!)

And all the answers to our prayers,

Hell: it's the same everywhere. (just the same now)

Nothing ever breaks up the heart...(love's a game now)

...only your tears give you away (Ain't it a shame now).

When you're right where I found you...(oh baby)

...with my arms  around you. (oh baby)

Baby, baby.

Love is a magic word if you ever find inner life

But from that very first look in your eyes I see you and I have but one

heart.

Only our bodies were apart... (it's making me crazy)

...that was so easy, so easy.

I had a taste of the real world... (Just a drop of it)

...when I went down on you, girl, oh.

I can hear windmills and rainbows whenever you talkin' to me

(never say never)

I feel like swirling and dancing whenever you walk in with me

You ripple like the river when I touch you (let me touch you)

Then I pluck your body like a string (show you what I mean)

Then I start dancing inside you (oh baby, a love song)

Oh baby in a love song, aw baby...

Oh Yeah, Yeah, All right

Baby we're sure doin' it tonight

Every time you come by let me try (come on by)

Pretty please, with sugar on it, that's how I like it, ugh.

I can't even believe it with you

It's like having every dream I ever wanted...(dream of a lifetime)

...come true.

I picked up your vibes, you know... (I'm having a fine time)

...it opened my mind but I'm still dreaming.

Yeah (sarcastic Grace mini-orgasm)

And you're right where I found you, with my arms around you!(oh baby).
