Music video description
"Somebody To Love" is a rock song that was written by Darby Slick and was originally recorded by the band The Great Society. The band's version by Jefferson Airplane came a little later, but it made it to The Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 best songs of all time. The cover became one of the first hits to appear on the West Coast and San Francisco Bay counterculture scene.
The song "Somebody To Love" talks about the importance of finding the one and only true love, which is why it has been described as an anthem of loyalty and monogamy. Love is meant to nourish and carry you through life, but it is not something random, but an action that must be taken. This philosophy puts the song in opposition to popular philosophy, in which falling in love is something that happens to an individual outside of his conscious choice. In the Jefferson Airplane version, the song sounds a bit more accusatory than in the version by the band The Great Society.
