Paul Kantner, 1941—2016

"With Jefferson Airplane, Paul Kantner helped pioneer the oft-imitated psychedelic sound: simple, fuzzy guitar lines steeped in dreamlike reverb. The group formed in 1965 and, within a few years, scored hits with 'Somebody to Love' and 'White Rabbit.' In their first run, five of the band's seven albums went gold, including 1967's Surrealistic Pillow and 1968's Crown of Creation."
--Kory Grow, Rolling Stone

Fighting Malice with Love and Music

From those who would inflict harm onto our communities comes peace.

Nothing is as powerful and clear.

"(A)nd if you care to see the future; look into the eyes of your young and dancing children."
- Paul Kantner, Jefferson Airplane (1971)

When Earth Moves Again

When Earth Moves Again
And if you care to see the future look into the eyes
Of your young, dancing children
And don't be afraid of our ways
- Paul Kantner, Jefferson Airplane (1971)

In golden Hannibal Carthage days marchin' onto Rome
Knockin' on the door and findin' nobody home there
Rome she cut our army down and left them in the snow so now
I go to where I come from now I go home to the Sun

When the earth moves again
When the earth moves again my friend
Let the lady ride on thru
When the earth moves again

Egyptian kings they sing of Gods and pyramids of stone
And they left the deserts clean and they left the deserts
Golden and shinin' as a beacon for those that need a road
Into the day and through the night we go and find our way home

When the earth moves again
My love to all the people I leave behind
Search out the new ground around you
When the earth moves again

Your head can pull your lady around
And you can leave whenever you can and the ground
Take what you find on the way, land sea foam glass is sand

If you've only lived on earth you've never seen the sun
Or the promise of a thousand other suns that glow beyond here
And if you care to see the future look into the eyes
Of your young, dancing children don't be afraid of our ways

When the earth moves again
When the earth moves again
Watch the lady ride and sigh
When the earth moves again

Moses, Moses the red sea closes over you when you
Least expect it to
When the earth moves again
When the earth moves again
