David Frieberg wrote this song about an exgirlfriend who wasn't really named Jane. About their relationship up and downs. Originally he wrote this along the 60's Rolling Stones baroque style but Craig Chaguico suggested it would be better presented as a heavier rock tune. And it was !! MY OH MY. Absolutely a masterpiece. Lyrically sensational, vocals blistering, and the instruments absolutely mind blowing. Great reaction Harri.💎💎💎 Thanks Harri and Imadrummin.

Dude, I can't tell you how many times I've listened to Jane five or even 10 times in a row. It's that addictive. I love everything about it but I really love love his vocal riffing there on the outro. I mean, he is just showing off at that point but still it's so fantastic; it's exactly what that song needs to be as killer as it is. It's got to be one of the best pop rock gems ever produced. And also that guitar solo on the way out as well, right up to the last crazy howl you can hear right before the fade is complete.

Hi Harri ... you made me laugh so hard by your description of Mickey Thomas' singing. After you play this back ... 'cause I KNOW you will ... pay attention/focus on how he comes back in AFTER the blaring guitar solo. The solo ends up going up and up very high, and he comes back in actually 1 step HIGHER than the guitar. You're not supposed to be able to do that. You are correct though, he should be arrested for singing so damn good. Finally, just for you Harri ... one FAT LIKE coming your way ... 👍🙌🤯😁

It's funny because I think I was in 10th Grade when this came out. I'd been into Jefferson Airplane kind of originally although that was slightly older stuff for me but my first girlfriend and I listened to their previous album, whichever one had Marty Balin and they were singing hits like Runaway and Count On Me. And I really thought they had started to sell out totally on this album but then that piano Hook was just so fascinating to me when I was already a good piano player so I immediately sat down and started playing it because it's easy as hell but it just feels so good. It wasn't until years or really decades later after playing and singing in bands for a long time and becoming quite the musicologist that I suddenly started to appreciate how mind-blowing the vocals are on this. Now that I understand a lot more about real singing, it's still amazes me every time. It's one of those pop songs that you should grow to hate because they play it too much but I can't ever stop being amazed by it. Everything about it but particularly that vocal performance, wow.

Prior to joining up with Starship, Mickey Thomas was chosen by Elvin Bishop to sing the lead on their biggest hit, "Fooled Around and Fell In Love", surprised you didn't make the connection. Another hit for Starship with Mickey as lead is "Find Your Way Back", check that one out! I have yet to understand this puzzling fact, the first album released under the new band name "Jefferson Starship" was "Dragon Fly" and the first huge hit off the album was "Caroline", no one has done a reaction, PLEASE be the first to do so! Biggest album released in the entire history of the band would be "Red Octopus", additional song suggestions from that album (you have already done "Miracles") would be "Tumblin'", "Play On Love", "There Will Be Love" and ""Ai Garimasũ (There Is Love)". Through the history of this bands many reinventions they were a powerhouse of the rock scene! The rabbit hole for this band is deep, other suggestions from their long history would be "Comin' Back To Me", "Somebody to Love", "White Rabbit", "Love Too Good", "Count on Me", "Runaway", "With Your Love", "Sara", "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now", "I Want To See Another World" and "Set the Night to Music" (but that's just for starts). Add in a solo release from Marty Balin, "Hearts", RIP Marty...
