- Software is Grace Slick's 1984 album released by RCA Records. This album was recorded after she had re-joined Jefferson Starship. After working on this album, Peter Wolf would go on to contribute to Jefferson Starship's 1984 album, Nuclear Furniture. A music video was made for the single "All the Machines". "Software" is Grace Slick's fourth and final solo album
As a child of the era I must admit I totally missed this. Glad I found it now.
Iv been a fan of Jefferson A and S since 1989. I was 12. Iv had this album on vinyl since a few years after that ….. i’ve never listened to this album. I just assumed it was terrible.
I LOVE THIS TUNE! And Can totally hear Paul singing on the chorus. Catchy tune.
I legit love this whole album. Grace is a legend!
WAY ahead of its time-it's the machine's world now, and they let us live in it-
I saw her perform this live on the show Solid Gold when I was 12. I had yet to discover Jefferson Airplane, and I remember thinking her name was cool.
I remember this vid, can't believe its been almost 40 years. Look at things today.
This whole album was brilliant, but this is definitely my favorite song.
‘Call it right, call it wrong’ is also stellar...and even more relevant now than it was back then.
SAME!
🤘💥🎼🎵🎶🎙🔊🎤🎧🎸🎹
call it right is my favorite and FOXFACE
How prophetic.
Luv Grace so much!!!! Thanks for posting.
THIS song shoulda been a HIT! EVEN IN 2022!!
I unironically love this song and the whole Software album
It's really good. Also pretty cool how she goes from White Rabbit to this
This music video synthetizes the technological and computational revolution happening in the 80's. Grace Slick was ahead of her time with this art piece. Such a hidden gem!
I remember her doing this song on the show Solid Gold
ME TOO!!📺
I remember that. Dionne Warwick shredded it on background vocals.
EXACTLY!!!
Only Grace could come up with this !
If this came out now (2021) - the culture jammers and darkwave synth ironic cool crowd whatever ya call it, would eat it up.
Maybe, because they’re dorks, and it is a pretty cheesy song.

Interesting that this song foretold what our technological future was going be in latter part of the 20th Century up to the present time.
It didn’t foretell anything. She was singing about the present at that time. And even then, it wasn’t new.
except the song itself is not good.
@@spankynater4242 well now, we're in 2023 and we can now say the past is prologue and almost 40 years after the songs release, our society has gotten more technology driven.....and it's now putting people out of work and we are losing the human touch we've got accustomed to over our lifetime.

@@christophercotton9048 it was going on back when the song was released, that’s what this song is about. But yes, it has gotten worse.
This song is such an earworm and I can't ever stop watching this cringey music video❤❤

I was so into into this sound between 1980 and 1985. If Brian Eno ,The Talking Heads or Laurie Anderson sang this it would be "normal" but because Grace was more known for her past rock persona it wasn't as acceptable to the JA crowd
that might be the problem though Laurie Anderson and quite a few others got there first, there's nothing new in this Kraftwerk had already been doing music with strong technological-based themes for over a decade by then, big fan of Grace Slick but this isn't her most original, not bad though
@@NickSBailey I get what you’re saying; Even so Grace Slick doing this still fairly fresh, cutting edge and on the pulse of the times in 1984.
@@NickSBailey she has been making music since 1965 .......... a little before LAURIE ANDERSON she is branching out here dreams wrecking ball and software extreme and not all mainstream rock and roll NICK
true but a better melody would have helped
I can see DEVO doing a version of this... ;) !
Electronic Polynesian Boogie
Must be a song DEVO passed on.
And here I thought she went total pop with knee deep in the hoopla although I guess nuclear furniture was the transition. In 1984 was a kind fear the future era because of the book 1984.

someone watched the Total Coelo video too much
Duran Duran took this for "Wild Boys" and ran with it. THAT was total meta-cheese then.
Wow. Getting strong Kate Bush The Dreaming vibes from this video.
I forced myself to like this when it came out, because it was Grace slick, but it’s totally goofy and cheesy. Although I still like it.
how do you like that
Actually not bad at all, though I would never have thought this was Grace Slick if her name wasn't on it
This is...utterly bizarre.
I remember seeing her perform this on one of those shows of the period. Solid Gold, I think. That was no less bizarre. One detail that sticks out is that there was a dazed-looking girl of about 9 years old providing back-up vocals.
@@simonboccanegra3811 When was that? Do you remember?
@@simonboccanegra3811 prolly C H I N A
I loved Jefferson Airplane / Jefferson Starship / Hot Tuna. Later, I like the Manhole album that Grace did. I lost interest in the later bands after this time period. This album doesn't do anything for me though.
I am a bit in shock, I do hope that this is from another Grace Slick....
No. It's her. Same one from Jefferson Airplane
The eighties were hard
I know. Still a legend
what she gonna do sing bout alice all day for you ? GEEB
some dude with a bunch of synthesizers told her this was the path to a big hit....
It’s hilarious how so much of the high technology she was criticizing four years ago is now obsolete. Remote control? LMAO we just lie in bed with our smart phones now.
? We still use remote controls
🙄 And this song is about a high tech world where people are dependent and often taking for granted the machines and electricity they use.
Much like you, gazing at your smart phone now.
So yes it’s as relevant as it was in 1984, in fact, undeniably even more.
pretty generic . still , Grace is a legend .
