THE DOORS The Crystal Ship (American Bandstand, 1967) [HQ]

The Doors
"The Crystal Ship"
American Bandstand, the ABC Television Center, Los Angeles.
Broadcast 22 July 1967

"The Crystal Ship" was composed as a love song to Jim Morrison's first serious girlfriend, Mary Werbelow, shortly after their romance ended.

The meaning of the song has been debated. The title borrows from the 12th-century Irish Lebor na hUidre (Book of the Dun Cow) manuscript. The lyrics in the opening verse resembles a conventional love song, while the later verses are vague in intention and contain more challenging imagery.

Jim Morrison - lead vocals
Robby Krieger - electric guitar
Ray Manzarek - Vox Continental, piano, keyboard bass
John Densmore - drums

Jim's influence on rock, metal, punk, psychedelic and glam musicians cannot be understated.
The Doors were one of the darkest rock acts of their day. It wasn't hippie psychedelia, it was cryptic and menacing.

He looks so sweet and innocent- a soft and sophisticated outside that hid a complex and mysterious inside..

My Favourite song of the Doors and best James performance, I loved it, it was so loving and sensitive and kind. I love you always and forever James. Love is eternal.

Absolutely brilliant, this expresses everything I can't put into words myself...

[ericblair]

Love that Robbie Krieger doesn't have his guitar plugged in and Morrison can barely be bothered to lip-sync.
