"Somebody to Honey" (originally titled "Someone to Honey") is a rock vocal that was written by Darby Slick. It was originally recorded by The Keen Society, and later by Jefferson Airplane. Rolling Stone magazine ranked Jefferson Plane's version No. 274 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[2]

Background [edit]

Written past The Great Society guitarist Darby Slick[ii] after realizing his girlfriend had left him, and first performed by that ring, which included his so-sister-in-police force Grace Slick on vocals, the song fabricated little bear on outside of the club excursion in the Bay Surface area. The vocal was recorded on December four, 1965, and released in February 1966 as a single with the B-side some other Darby Slick composition titled "Free Advice" on the Northbeach label (Northbeach 1001) and received minimal circulation outside of San Francisco.[iii] San Francisco in the mid-1960s was the center of gratis dear, only Darby Slick saw a downside to this ethos, as information technology could lead to jealousy and disconnect. This song champions loyalty and monogamy, as the vocalist implores u.s. to find that one true dear that will nurture u.s. and get us through the tough times.[4] However, the lyrics do not treat love as something that randomly happens to a person, just rather as an action that a person, male or female, may choose to take. This subtle merely profound difference in philosophy places this vocal in opposition to songs that speak of "falling in love" as if love is something that happens to a person outside of their witting intention.

Re-recording [edit]

When Grace Slick departed to join Jefferson Airplane, she took this song with her, bringing it to the Surrealistic Pillow sessions,[2] along with her ain composition "White Rabbit". Subsequently, the Airplane's more ferocious rock and curlicue version became the ring's commencement and biggest success, reaching No. five on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] The grouping's first hit song, "Somebody To Dearest" was likewise i of the showtime big hits to come up out of the Usa West Coast and San Francisco Bay area counterculture scene, to which numerous artists and musicians would be drawn over the following few years.

Slick's original performance of the song with The Smashing Lodge is more subdued, with the Jefferson Airplane version sounding far more accusatory and menacing on lines such as "Your listen is so full of red" and "Your friends, baby, they treat you similar a guest."[4] The lyrics are in the 2d person, with each two-line poetry setting a scene of alienation and despair, and the chorus repeating the title of the song, with slight variations such equally: "... / Don't yous need somebody to love? / Wouldn't you love somebody to love? / ..." Like the album on which it appeared, this song was instrumental in publicizing the existence of the Haight-Ashbury counterculture to the balance of the United States.

Reception [edit]

Billboard described the song equally a "wild trip the light fantastic toe number loaded with vocal excitement," calling it a "hard driver, featuring powerful female song in the lead [which] never stops from start to finish."[five] Cash Box called the unmarried a "bright, pulsating, rhythmic, sometimes-frenetic, funky rock outing."[6] Brett Milano of udiscovermusic.com rated Jorma Kaukonen's psychedelic guitar solo at the end of the song as ane of the 100 best greatest, stating that it opens "with those 3 sustained wailing notes and [closes] with those sign-off chords that get out the song forever unresolved."[7]
