"Comin' Back to Me" is a psychedelic folk song by the American rock band Jefferson Airplane. It was written by Marty Balin. The song appeared on Jefferson Airplane's second album, Surrealistic Pillow . Marty Balin recalls that "the song was created while he indulged in some primo-grade marijuana given to him by blues singer Paul Butterfield." [2] After writing the song in one sitting, he immediately went to the studio to record his composition with any available musicians at the studio. [2] The song would later be covered by Rickie Lee Jones and Richie Havens. [2]
