Starship es una banda de rock estadounidense conocida por su evolución musical y su capacidad de adaptarse a las cambiantes corrientes del rock a lo largo de las décadas. La historia de Starship comienza en la ciudad de San Francisco y remonta sus raíces a la formación de otra influyente banda de rock, Jefferson Airplane, en 1965. Jefferson Airplane alcanzó reconocimiento mundial en la década de 1960 con temas como “Somebody to Love” y “White Rabbit”.
En la década de 1970, los miembros originales de Jefferson Airplane decidieron explorar nuevas direcciones musicales y, como resultado, la banda se reestructuró, adoptando el nombre Jefferson Starship. Esta transición vino con un giro hacia un sonido más orientado al rock y al pop. Durante esta etapa, la banda lanzó álbumes exitosos como “Dragon Fly” (1974) y “Red Octopus” (1975), que incluyó el hit “Miracles”.
En 1984, nuevas vueltas del destino llevaron a una transformación más profunda de la banda. Originalmente liderada por el guitarrista Paul Kantner, la agrupación vio su partida, junto con la retirada de varios miembros fundadores. Bajo el liderazgo del vocalista Mickey Thomas y el tecladista David Freiberg, la banda optó por un cambio más radical en su estilo y nombre, pasando a llamarse simplemente Starship.
My love is drifting in a sweet dream
And my heart is beatin' like a drum
And my words don't make a sound
And I'm dancin' but my feet ain't on the ground
Chorus:
I am flyin', forever within your arms
Oh I'm flyin', forever within your heart, I am flyin'
I didn't mean to stay all night, oh no, but baby you hold so tight
I didn't mean to turn you loose, oh no, but baby you won't refuse
I didn't mean to turn you on, oh no, it's heaven it can't be wrong
I didn't mean to stay all night
My thoughts are runnin' in a race
And my mind is slippin' into space
Cause your world is all around
So I'm dancing but my feet ain't on the ground
I am flyin', forever within your arms
Oh I'm flyin', forever within your heart, I am flyin'
I didn't mean to stay all night, oh no, but baby you hold so tight
I didn't mean to turn you loose, oh no, but baby you won't refuse
I didn't mean to turn you on, oh no, it's heaven it can't be wrong
(Guitar solo)
I am flyin', forever within your arms
Oh I'm flyin', forever within your heart
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to make you stay, oh but baby you got your way
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to fool around, but baby you held me down
I didn't mean to stay all night
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to make you stay - oh no
I didn't mean to let you get your way
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to fool around - oh no
I didn't mean to let you hold me down
I didn't mean - to turn you on baby - oh no
To make you fall in love, I didn't mean
I didn't mean - to turn you loose honey - oh no
But you just can't refuse, and I didn't mean
I didn't mean - to stay all night, oh no, but you won't let go
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to make you stay - oh no
I didn't mean to let you get your way
I didn't mean - I didn't mean to fool around - oh no...
