    Downright awesome because it sounds like a classical piece. Even though it came from a Rock song Ray Manzarek made it sound beautiful. The Crystal Ship is one of the best love songs of all time.

    • @marklarson3003
      @marklarson3003 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That is because Ray had classical training which ment he studied Bach so he naturally incorporated it into his arrangements he brought Bach to Rock.

    I saw the remaining Doors play ten years ago and Ray said something there I will not forget, he warned us that the times now were very much like how the 1950s were and impetus to use the doors of perception so we should be very weary of it. He was so right.

    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
    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
