What makes The Doors epic win is the fact that they NEVER sold out, despite many offers. You will never hear a Doors song used to sell anything. The band said that the music is too sacred to be commercialised. I agree.
It's hard to explain something that was born in mind full of narcotic visions. Even so, the songs are beautiful, Jim's voice is soothing and thrilling ...
this takes me back, and back. to that giant turntable I used to imagine myself lying on, spinning slowly. in the early 70s. never did drugs back then, didn't need them, the music was enough of a high!!
It is very sad that Jim Morrison died young, he should still travel arround the world and singing with millions of people...He lived in hard times...This is one of my favorite songs of the doors,but all other are great...one correct at 0.49 in your gentle Brain...
I'm calling it right now that this song is going to be used somewhere in the last eight episodes of Breaking Bad. It's perfect... The mood, the lyrics could fit somewhere, and Jesse at one point actually calls the RV the "The Crystal Ship".
Jim Morrison would've been a great director, maybe even actor as well because he was incredibly creative. But though he started the UCLA film school, it wasn't in his destiny to make a career out of that.
The Crystal Ship; The Doors You're hopeful for something you never had, or perhaps something that you've lost. Lyrics: Before you slip into unconsciousness\I'd like to have another kiss\Another flashing chance at bliss\Another kiss, another kiss\ The days are bright and filled with pain\Enclose me in your gentle rain\The time you ran was too insane\We'll meet again, we'll meet again\ Oh tell me where your freedom lies\The streets are fields that never die\ Deliver me from reasons why
The crystal ship is a crack pipe really listen.. It's about her getting high out of her head and he's waiting for her to return to normal so they can drop a line..(coke) It's about drugs.
It's not a crack pipe. People didn't smoke crack until the late 70's and 80's. Jim Morrison had already been dead a decade. This song is about the shit you let 'the man' fill your head with. But more precisely, it's about watching television before bed since it's when you're most dissociative and thus easiest to manipulate. Just read em again ffs "Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss" "Another flashing chance at bliss Another kiss, another kiss" "The days are bright and filled with pain Enclose me in your gentle (b)rain" "The time you ran was too insane We'll meet again, we'll meet again" "Oh tell me where your freedom lies The streets are fields that never die" "Deliver me from reasons why You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly" "The crystal ship is being filled A thousand girls, a thousand thrills A million ways to spend your time When we get back, I'll drop a line" It's clearly about the television and it's effect on your mind. Come on. (by the way the phrase "drop me a line" was a common way of saying "give me a call". Think phoneline.)
@GILJA100 In my humble opinion, he lived in the best times the 20th century may have produced. I go each week on his grave : shooting star are ephemeral and beautifull because of it. Peace.
Jim never sold out, the rest of the band wasn't entirely on board with it though. I've actually heard some of their music in advertisements, fucking sad really. And shit, nowadays the beetles are being used to sell all sorts of shit. Oh the way things change.
Haha guess what peoplez yea we all love the doors but guess what.... they made a song with a dubstep group Wtf?! yea its true /watch?v=cyn0OSUCxR4 Oh yea sorry for the dissapointment
This is by far one of the greatest doors songs ever.

Lyrics and music equally beautiful & haunting. My fave Doors song by far.

The Crystal Ship; The Doors
You're hopeful for something you never had, or perhaps something that you've lost. Lyrics: Before you slip into unconsciousness\I'd like to have another kiss\Another flashing chance at bliss\Another kiss, another kiss\ The days are bright and filled with pain\Enclose me in your gentle rain\The time you ran was too insane\We'll meet again, we'll meet again\ Oh tell me where your freedom lies\The streets are fields that never die\ Deliver me from reasons why
2:34¿Por Qué no mas?=2:34 why not more? I love this song
Bonne Holidays rest dans Peace Liliane
2 people missed the ship-poor people!
The crystal ship is your mind. Now listen again, the real message of this song becomes slightly clearer.
The crystal ship is a crack pipe really listen.. It's about her getting high out of her head and he's waiting for her to return to normal so they can drop a line..(coke) It's about drugs.

Just read em again ffs
"Before you slip into unconsciousness I'd like to have another kiss"
"Another flashing chance at bliss Another kiss, another kiss"
"The days are bright and filled with pain Enclose me in your gentle (b)rain"
"The time you ran was too insane We'll meet again, we'll meet again"
"Oh tell me where your freedom lies The streets are fields that never die"
"Deliver me from reasons why You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly"
"The crystal ship is being filled A thousand girls, a thousand thrills A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I'll drop a line"

Well Done Bravo!

When you spell the greatest British band ever wrong nobody will take you serious.
That song is a brainfuck ! Why don't we have groups like the Doors today , I wonder ....
Long Live Jim Morrison
Jim never sold out, the rest of the band wasn't entirely on board with it though. I've actually heard some of their music in advertisements, fucking sad really. And shit, nowadays the beetles are being used to sell all sorts of shit. Oh the way things change.
Life &....then
If the song doesn't impress you, at least the colors of the video will
No they have not Walter. They used "Crystal Blue Persuasion" but not "The Crystal Ship". And I think it should be the closing song to the series.
RE: lyrics -- "a thousand yells" -- not "a thousand girls"
It's slow into, isn't it?
Haha guess what peoplez yea we all love the doors but guess what.... they made a song with a dubstep group Wtf?! yea its true /watch?v=cyn0OSUCxR4
Oh yea sorry for the dissapointment
yellow? really?
Not true
bigot
