Chorus:
Wooden ships on the water very free and easy
Easy you know the way it's supposed to be
Silver people on the shoreline leave us be
Very free and easy
Sail away where the mornin sun goes high
Sail away where the wind blows sweet and young birds fly

Love CSN, but this is the definitive version. Haunting.
So easily the greatest version. A whole new dimension that captures the feelings of the age. And Grace Slick's soaring take offs. Everything gels to create a masterpiece. Have listened to it so many times and come out inspired to feel rebellious.
late sixties to the early seventies,a renaissance of passion,originality,freedom of thought,musical genius..never to be surpassed in my lifetime
all members of Airplane get to shine on this one from Jorma's scorching solo's to Grace's soaring vocals at the end - awesome.
For those who don’t know, this song was written by Paul Kanter, David Crosby and Stephen Stills, so it belongs to both bands
How many songs have there been where the lead guitarist is soloing all the way through but without overpowering the rest of the band? Yes, the vocals are amazing and Grace's haunting wail is one of the best things ever, but take a bow Jorma Kaukonen!
To me thats ideal ideal when the lead guitar melds throughout without needing to dominate
A writer/critic had said that Jorma just "blazes through the mix.". That's a pretty damn good description! Amazing guitarist worthy of high praise, despite Rolling Stone magazine's shit-list's! Rock on, JA!! ✈️🎸🎼🎤👄☮️
Chills for both versions!!!
The music from the late 60s is so good. I was just a little kid but heard it a lot on the radio later on. Even 50 years later it still has so much impact.
From acorns tall oaks grow ,we just gotta let them .
A beautiful haunting song of a possible sad but hopeful future.
My personal favorite Jefferson song. So good.
This is perhaps my favorite song ever, hard to explain why and this version is the best. I still shun the silver people on the shoreline heh
Happy 84th birthday Grace!
At 74, it's still a joy to listen and remember the great music/musicians of the late 60's. Wooden Ships was a influential counter-culture statement of how young people felt hopeless.
Jorma's guitar sets the mood of a rocking Ship at sea.
I used to like the CSN version because I didn't know this one. This one grows on you and I like it better now. It's more raw.
It was a period in time but what an era it was!
My favourite time
I was born in 1981. I'm jealous of you all who got to experience this- this had to have been all so new!! But my worldview is shaped by what happened then....
My favorite version. Much more passion and intricacy for me.
Quicksilver Messenger Service and Jeff. Airplane.... .God thank you for giving us spirits like this...
and Grateful Dead, Love, CSN, the Doors, Joni Mitchell.
Life and dead in just one song. Enjoei the ride my friends. Salute from 🇧🇷
I love this one sooooo much more than the CSN&Y version, there's just something magical about it
The Airplane, I think, was a much more relatable band .. raw and unapologetic... We saw them as one of us...
@@winfieldritzert2176 I agree! I also think Grace Slick's vocals elevates this to another level entirely. Hearing such a beautiful voice soaring above the men's vocals has an amazing effect.
I go back and forth on it... this version definitely matches the apocalyptic lyrics better. The CSNY version's a little too groovy for nuclear winter and everyone dying from radiation.
@@xanderxander9236 ha! I agree, I think you hit the nail on the head 😂
...there IS everything magical here.....................
One of my first and favorite albums. Why I’m still a rogue subversive.
My favorite of "The Airplane"..........Marty, Grace, etc ....a masterpiece .....
Was introduced to this version 10 months ago by an amazing soul. This track has seen me through many evenings, headphones on, immersed in its beauty.
Brilliant album from start to finish.
I do love Grace's voice! Great Song.. great musicians!
Who do not
Best version ever !
No other band like them
GRACE SLICK CAN AWAKE ME ANY OR ALL MORNINGS SHE DECIDES TO HER VOICE IS SO CAPTIVATING & ADDICTIVE, ALONG W/LATE PAUL KANTNER, MARTY BALIN & THE AIRPLANE BAND..
A well written song is worth a novel or a movie.
Was here to share this today. Best to everyone!
They're both great, but I always liked this version just a little more than the CSN
I'm on the other side of that fence - but both definitely great.
"I'm with you fellas."

Same here .
Same here too
I grew up during this time and the only version of this song i can remember is the CS&N (or was it CSN&Y).
I never owned any Jefferson Airplane albums but i could hang out with many friends and listen to Airplane albums all day long.
Thank You for posting this.
✌
...it was C S N & SOMETIMES Y...Y would get pissed off at the group and walk off stage in the middle of a concert if he thought they weren't playing well enough to suit him...
CSNY. Long live rock.
And now we're the old people...........
Классная песня. From Russia with love!
@B K Much love from USA! 😎✌️❤️
Wow, only 16 comments! I can't decide if I enjoy this version or the CSN version more, but they're both incredible. Super underrated cover.
Gabe Paul Kantner wrote this with David Crosby and Steven Stills so it isn’t a cover !
Beautiful song 🔥❤️🔥
Epic, and my introduction to acid rock, circa '94. i heard it in on a french radio,and ...BANG!
The back story on this song is whole other saga,. Look it up.. Total legal sh** t storm once the lawyers and record producers got their talons in. Great song and amazing that in the end both legendary groups were able to record and release it
Pretty sure the legal issue were with the Airplane and nothing actually to do with this song.
@@lisafisher7132 Other than Kantner avoiding recognition as a contributor until after the storm so CS&N could release their version.
The best version is the last one I listened to, both are great.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAUL KANTNER!
Still fresh
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yup, I remember this album
I wish I was on that wooden ship
My grandapa thought exactly
Try some smack. It's easy to board the ship.
You do know it's after a nuclear war.
Marty at his finest
Better than CS&N's version, I'd say.
the BEST "Wooden Ships" 😃
The Matrix brought me here and music is my red pill. I cant believe I just listening to this great vinyl for the first time. (So much more than Just White Rabbit)
Both versions are similar, yet beautifully different…..
Go Ride the music!
This song might should have been a PERRO song since everybody did their own version of it. Great song.
We are leaving....YOU DONT NEEEEEEEEED USSSSSSSSS....
Awesome!
Such a beautiful song about a death full of horror out on the ocean ...
Armageddon is over and those who took cover came out when the dust settled to see where life is now going..wooden ship is a metaphor..
When I listen to this music, I think of the opening narrative from the The Lord of the Rings. "Much of what once was is now lost." The music industry used to have a soul long ago. Maybe Our current Nixon-style president will cause a backlash that leads to a new progressive movement of creativity and substance.
Maybe!
Unfortunately the people on the left aren’t as hip or cultured as they make themselves out to be, either. I’ve been around my peers long enough to realize that over 90% of them are lost and angry people.
Nah,it’s all about $$$ now.:(
The music industry never had a soul to begin with.
The best...
In case you're wondering, on the cover, left to right: seated Balin, Slick with mask, Koukanen. Standing: Dryden in mask, Casady in mask, Kanter saluting and looking like doofus in lampshade
Grace Slick's voice akin Yeats" spirals...
"...Leave us be..."
Wow! I had no idea this existed wtf?
It's almost a criminal act to pick one when both achieve take off to the feel good reaches so seamlessly how ever CSN jettisons to a perfect safe landing whist the Airplane reaches the cosmic heights of the stratosphere few ever attain .
Agreed.
Not a patch on CSN version. Sounds like the Mama's and Papa's.
BE ELITE
CANT GET ENOUGH YOU MIGHT AS WELL FACE IT YOUR ADDICTED TO LOVE SONG BY ROBERT PALMER BAND FRENCH JUSTICE BAND
Siiiiiiiii. Fuck yeeeeeeeeees
can you tell me please....who won?
A good version of the song. But I still like the CSN original so much more.
A promise that was as hollow back then and now so apparent, volunteers of America, meaning where is my retirement fund. total bs.
I only really find the first part very personal to me
Good thing Crosby stills and nash exist otherwise I woulda thought this song was ass
What is this song about?
War and oppression
Imagining a post nuclear war situation ("I can see by your coat my friend you're from the other side...can you tell me please who won"),, wooden ships cuz, techno destroyed, "silver people on the shoreline" are people in protective suits that they see from the ship.
This song was written by David Crosby and Stephen Stills, along with Jefferson Airplane founder Paul Kantner, while relaxing on Crosby’s actual wooden ship, Mayan.
They were looking back at the shore from their peaceful refuge, imagining if the Warfare State had finally brought about nuclear holocaust, and they could see men in radiation suits assessing survivors to determine who is fit to live.
Both bands recorded a version of it, the CS&N version being a pop hit, but the Jefferson Airplane version having a following for its own distinct sound and style.
It was Csn
Actually, the song was written by members of _both_ groups, and they each recorded their own versions. I like both, and depending on my mood I will prefer one over the other.

Amazing how CSN took this and turned it into an iconic masterpiece. Kudos!
What else ?,,
I was surprised to learn that The Jefferson Airplane performed cover versions.
Kantner wrote this with Crosby and stills. So not really a cover.
@@MrSlone3302 this
Get a clue, an Airplane member co-wrote the song.
Beautiful...but I always prefer C.S.N. & Y. version
CRYSTAL BLUE PERSUASION CRIMSON CLOVER COPY CATS FOOLS
Both versions of Wooden ships were recorded months before Crystal Blue Persuasion....so maybe CBP ripped off Wooden Ships?
Trash version CSN on 🔝
CSN made the song sound beautiful; this version sounds just awful. Jefferson Airplane took a good song and turned it into garbage.
