"Embryonic Journey" is an instrumental piece composed by Jorma Kaukonen which originally appeared as the ninth track on Jefferson Airplane's second album Surrealistic Pillow.

Other versions of "Embryonic Journey" were recorded by Kaukonen and featured on an album sharing the song's name. According to the album's liner notes, Kaukonen composed the tune in 1962 as part of a guitar workshop in Santa Clara and included it on Surrealistic Pillow at the band's behest.

This song has been used in the film Purple Haze, the final Friends episode (entitled "The Last One"), in the movie The Rookie, in the movie Berkeley in the Sixties at the end with the credits, and recently in a UK television commercial for Norwich Union. It was also included on the A Walk on the Moon movie soundtrack and in Ken Burns's documentary series The Vietnam War.

gollark: Why not?

gollark: “Does creating physics violate the NAP? While I benefit from the laws of physics making life possible, it also imposes constrictions unto me that I did not consent to. I didn't ask to be born, and I didn't ask to be subjected to gravity, so once I'm done suing my mom, I'm suing God.”
