This song is too beautiful. The eerie, serpentine electric guitar riff over humble and honest fingerpicking creates a darkly intimate atmosphere, the tambourine adds a wild pulse or heartbeat, and the vocals of both Marty Balin and also Grace Slick on backup are yearning and ethereal. The lyrics are so passionate, especially "I'm so full of love, I could burst apart and start to cry" and "To go on from here I can't use words, they don't say enough" on through to the end, which just explodes in feeling. This song just leaves me speechless.
