This is my moms favorite Doors song, she thinks it's about being unafraid of death, the crystal ship full of girls and thrills refers to the flight to heaven, and the people who choose to fly unafraid into whatever awaits, the first lines refer to saying goodbye to a lover before you both "fly"into the unknown and don't get the chance later. No idea if she's right, but it sounds cool 😅
It's a love letter to Jim's first flame after breakup. That's the official. Still, it's art, and art is interpretation left to the viewer. If your mom thinks it's about death, then death it is. Lex believes it's drugs, so that's very real to her. I see it as pure sleep. None of this is wrong. That's the beauty of having individual minds.
I really like that interpretation, very poignant. I think it’s quite possible that there were several layers/meanings floating through Jim’s mind when he wrote the lyrics. Sometimes lyrics can be abstract to the writer himself, there may be no actual palpable meaning…that’s where the listener can interpret freely based on their own feelings/experiences.
@@mgordon1100 hmm,while I get what you're saying I must disagree. Songs are about whatever the writers says they're about. If I wrote a song about say my ex girlfriend and someone said ,well it's about flying to the moon as that's my interpretation. I'd say,no it's not,it's got nothing to do with flying to the moon,it's about my ex,I know ,I wrote it. Obviously we can't ask Jim what it's about and I don't know if the official answer is correct, but you get what I'm saying, songs are about what the songwriter says as they're in the position to know
This song reminds me of when I went to visit my ex-girlfriend one last time before I went away to college, expecting my memory of her to fade as I went off to experience my future. Fun fact: ten years later we got married.
@@davidmellish3295 Yes And No Anna Nalick Lyrics in "Breathe (2 AM)" Tell how a lot of people listen to songs ( And I feel like I'm naked in front of the crowd 'Cause these words are my diary, screaming out loud And I know that you'll use them, however you want to ) I agree with you but also question some songs.
This song is based on poetry written in 1965 by Morrison after a breakup with a girlfriend, possibly relating to his decision to be part of a band, with the sacrifices that entails. She'd rather cry, while he'd rather fly. The band formed in 1965, with the first album released in 1967. This song was the third song on that first album. Four songs from the album are classic Doors hits ("Break On Through," "Light My Fire," "Back Door Man," "The End"), supported by "Soul Kitchen," "The Crystal Ship," and "Alabama Song."
One of the most sensitive combinations of melody, harmony and lyricism this fine band made. It gets my eyes all blurry even though I don't think it's particularly sad or anything, just an overwhelming sense of beauty.
Strange Days too, and Morrison Hotel. L.A. Woman too. I love Soft Parade but I can see how people might be turned away from it. And Waiting for the Sun has some great songs but some filler too
And Absolutely Live as well. Great songs not on studio albums. Who Do You Love, Universal Mind, Dead Cats Dead Rats, Close To You. The full Celebration Of The Lizard.
Morrison was aware that "crystal" is slang for methedrine, he "wrote 'The Crystal Ship' for Mary Werbelow, a girlfriend with whom he was breaking up: it was therefore intended as a goodbye love song. According to Rolling Stone critic Narendra Kusnur, the lines "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" reflect the breakup.
Ray Pellerin 5 months ago Good guesses but this song in about early Spanish explorers that left behind their wives and girlfriend for years to explore the New World. Once they established a colony that was safe and producing wealth, food, trade etc they would pay for "crystal ships" to bring their wives over to join them. Has nothing to do with drugs or drinking. Jim was a bookworm and read every history book he could get his hands on.
Once again...NOOOO! He wants to kiss her before she falls asleep, not unconscious because she's drunk! The couple are going through a rough time but still in love. "The days are bright and filled with pain..." Normally, bright days are happy. This is called juxtaposition. "Enfold me in your gentle rain..." He's seeking some comfort in their shared sadness. The "Crystal Ship" is not a drug a reference. Why do you guys think that the 60's/70's artists are always referring to drugs and secretly veiled references? Jim's lyrics were very cryptic at times and meant to take the listener on a musical/lyrical journey. YOUR journey/imagination.
It's simply a song about lost love. Gotta love the sheer talent, musicianship, and sheer poetry of the Doors music, fronted by a madman with one of the most amazing voices ever heard in rock.
This is one of the first songs I ever remember hearing when I was about four years old in 1967. I have older brothers and sisters who are over ten years older than me and they had bought the The Doors album in 1967 and this song gives me am almost magical feeling when I hear it.
This is probably my favorite Doors song! I always thought the slipping into unconsciousness referred to falling asleep, likely after sex. But with Jim Morrison and his crazy poetry, who knew?!
It's just a special song about love with some fancy wordplay, thats all. He'd rather fly than cry. flying means he'd rather pursue happiness then crying which means unnecessary suffering.
The most interesting thing about this band to me always has been keyboardist Ray Manzarek, which this track highlights about as well as anything of theirs
He's a sheer rock music immortal and eternally encoded in its DNA. Whenever I'm in the neighborhood, I'll go out of my way to go riding past the house in which he was brought up and the park where he played ball as a kid.
You guys should react to more of The Doors… "Five to One", "Twentieth Century Fox", "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)", "Back Door Man", "I Looked at You", "End of the Night", "Strange Days", "You're Lost Little Girl", "Love Me Two Times", "When The Music's Over", "Hello, I Love You", "Love Street", "Touch Me" 🎸🤘
I read through the comments everybody has mentioned some great freaking songs. The deep cuts. I always thought the soft parade was one of the most trippiest in a musical sense.
Quite simply one of the best singers not for his voice, which is a rich baritone but his lyrics are unrivaled IMO. Own the entire studio album collection with Morrison's numerous books of poetry. Mr.Mojorison....the Lizard King. Tidbit fact, Elvis after watching a Doors concert loved Morrison's look and style so much during his comeback special went so far as too wear an all leather black outfit, Jim famously wore leather pants throughout most of his concerts.
You guys got to realize this is poetry not literal clinical objective description. The word usage are metaphors. Symbolical of deeper ideas etc… the male here seems to sense that more… drugs may be a part of this but it’s much deeper then just scoring dope. Morrison used drugs but he wasn’t obsessed w/ it… its narrative wise a breakup poem to a lost love. Probably his first love, Mary were low. Deep wound for Jim. Yearn for one last sharing of love, yet a declaration that he must pursue his drive and quest to pursue experience thru art/travel/discovery (crystal ship). Almost as a doomed pursuit (fragile like crystal) to partly lose himself from the loss of Mary…. Song wise it’s a gorgeous composition. Keys are beautiful, echo haunting vibe and sound, subtle accented drumming and morrison in finish crooning form w/ a haunted but beautiful tone. One of their top 5 songs.
According to John Densmore, the song was as a goodbye love song by Morrison to a girlfriend he was breaking up with. Certainly I always thought of the first bit about drifting into unconsciousness was referring to drifting off to sleep rather than a drugged stupor.
I was thinking that thunder sound doesn't belong on this track, but then I heard it again during the break and realized that the storm was on your end!
I, at one point in my life [7 yrs worth] went down The Doors rabbit hole and got stuck there. Not that I didn't listen to other music, buy my everything was The Doors. My best Girlfriend had a custom-made license plate frame made for me as a gift. The frame read : On the top - Strange Days on bottom - The Crystal Ship @Brad & Lex - LOL..., hearing rain and thunder in the background....., dang, Y'all rected to Riders on the Storm too soon.
One of my favorites by the band. If this isn’t a precursor to goth rock, I don’t know what is. In fact, a few songs from this album could be considered precursors to goth rock. The Doors were even once described by a critic of the time as gothic rock.
Like the way that Brad & Lex said it was daunting. Plain and simple they can still ask Robby Krieger and John Densmore since they’re still around before time runs out on them. Brad & Lex ventured into the time of The Counter Culture Revolution. If people weren’t around in the late 60’s to the early 70’s these are the songs that will blow your mind. The Crystal Ship is one of the most beautiful love songs of all time. The songs and the poetry that Jim Morrison wrote are beautiful and some are mind boggling. There will never be a poet and song writer like Jim Morrison. The Crystal Ship was one of Jim Morrison’s compositions other songs were written by Robby Krieger his guitar player. In the 60’s songs that were written by these type of groups during the Hippie era had certain meanings. Music was also wonderful as well since Brad and Lex have also ventured into Psychedelic music. This is the type of that will blow your mind because it’s meant to be enjoyed because…It’s Far-Out!!!
Jim was a mysterious poet. I long ago stopped trying to pin down his meanings. every time I listen I get a different idea. Great song writing keeps you wondering. Yea?
We did not have crystal back then. Heroin, acid, mescaline and pot were around in Hawaii. This was our favorite spin the bottle song then smoke some pot and finish the album.
We DEFINITELY had "Crystal" "back then." My area, Denver, was called "Crystal City" in the late 60s when we were partying and gigging there. Meth was replacing smack as the trending substance of choice at the time.

The Doors are great! I remember my parents had a vhs tape of their videos & I used to watch it all the time. The Unknown Soldier video was really intense when I was young, also Touch Me was funny because Robbie had a big black eye in the video from Jim punching him the night before they shot it 😂
Just to let you know I've been a big doors fan for over 40 years the song was taken from Jim's notebooks of poetry written about the 1st love named Mary who they broke up and he still hasn't let go even after he had success he still holds on a bit
Its a lullaby song. When the Doors wrote this song Jim notice at night the off shore oil rigs looks like crystal ships. I believe Jim was thinking about kissing a baby goodnight and singing a song about those ships.
The Doors are one of those groups that seem to transcend their era.... Timeless music.....
This is my moms favorite Doors song, she thinks it's about being unafraid of death, the crystal ship full of girls and thrills refers to the flight to heaven, and the people who choose to fly unafraid into whatever awaits, the first lines refer to saying goodbye to a lover before you both "fly"into the unknown and don't get the chance later. No idea if she's right, but it sounds cool 😅
It's a love letter to Jim's first flame after breakup. That's the official. Still, it's art, and art is interpretation left to the viewer. If your mom thinks it's about death, then death it is. Lex believes it's drugs, so that's very real to her. I see it as pure sleep. None of this is wrong. That's the beauty of having individual minds.
I really like that interpretation, very poignant. I think it’s quite possible that there were several layers/meanings floating through Jim’s mind when he wrote the lyrics. Sometimes lyrics can be abstract to the writer himself, there may be no actual palpable meaning…that’s where the listener can interpret freely based on their own feelings/experiences.
@@mgordon1100 hmm,while I get what you're saying I must disagree. Songs are about whatever the writers says they're about.
If I wrote a song about say my ex girlfriend and someone said ,well it's about flying to the moon as that's my interpretation.
I'd say,no it's not,it's got nothing to do with flying to the moon,it's about my ex,I know ,I wrote it.

Amazing song.....just like most Doors songs are....great choice guys!!!
Crystal ship is one of my favorites, along with Spanish caravan. DO SPANISH CARAVAN PLEASE AND THANK YOU!
I've suggested Spanish Caravan on every Doors reaction on a lot of channels. No takers yet , but we'll win this war.
Bump Bump 👍
Absolutely 💯
Yes, yes, yes!
Spanish Caravan introduced me to Flamenco/Spanish guitar
This song is based on poetry written in 1965 by Morrison after a breakup with a girlfriend, possibly relating to his decision to be part of a band, with the sacrifices that entails. She'd rather cry, while he'd rather fly.
The band formed in 1965, with the first album released in 1967. This song was the third song on that first album. Four songs from the album are classic Doors hits ("Break On Through," "Light My Fire," "Back Door Man," "The End"), supported by "Soul Kitchen," "The Crystal Ship," and "Alabama Song."
In other words: It's just an overall great album!
It's about the fragility of love and relationships. One of their most beautiful songs.
These kids could never comprehend that.
Another hypnotic, trippy but lovely, psychedelic love song from 1967 is "Today" by Jefferson Airplane. If you like this one, you'll love that one!
Also their song "Martha".
Oh, "Today" is so beautiful!!!! and so is "Martha" and "Good Shepherd"... please do these songs!
One of the most sensitive combinations of melody, harmony and lyricism this fine band made. It gets my eyes all blurry even though I don't think it's particularly sad or anything, just an overwhelming sense of beauty.
My favorite song by the Doors. I was in a band and we used to do this song.
This and Twentieth Century Fox were my favorites. My oldest sister bought the album in the sixties and we wore grooves off!
The whole album deserves a full listen.
Strange Days too, and Morrison Hotel. L.A. Woman too. I love Soft Parade but I can see how people might be turned away from it. And Waiting for the Sun has some great songs but some filler too
And Absolutely Live as well. Great songs not on studio albums. Who Do You Love, Universal Mind, Dead Cats Dead Rats, Close To You. The full Celebration Of The Lizard.
This is on my list of the five best albums ever recorded.
@@stratocruising You are not alone.
One of their best songs. A true masterpiece.
“Enclose me in your gentle rain…”
What a great lyric
But, shouldn't it be "reign"?
The Doors - The Soft Parade
The Wasp (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) is awesome! Not a very standard rock song!
Jim Morrison was a poet. The Doors put it to music. Ray, Robbie, & John Densmore were so talented
Jim Morrison had one of the best voices in rock history. The Doors never put out a song that wasn’t great!
Maybe I'm selling myself short but a Doors song was a safe song to sing in karaoke for me. OMG I'm goin to Hollywood!
They had a few on the Soft Parade that were absolutely terrible.
Morrison was aware that "crystal" is slang for methedrine, he "wrote 'The Crystal Ship' for Mary Werbelow, a girlfriend with whom he was breaking up: it was therefore intended as a goodbye love song.

My favorite song from The Doors -- or Peace Frog
When a producer saw Jim Morrison sing for the first time, he said : This kid could sing the phone book and be a star.

Ahhhh, the 60's. Nothing like them. The music , the fashions, the hair. The energy was amazing.
Always thought it was about going on tour, joining a band, leaving people behind, and all the craziness that goes with that....
The imagery of a crystal ship setting sail , just magic lyrics❤️

WOW! You're diving deep into the Doors music. One of my favorites, a song to keep you high, if you're so inclined
Brad & Lex, you’ll love their “Love Me Two Times”!!
^^^^
It's simply a song about lost love. Gotta love the sheer talent, musicianship, and sheer poetry of the Doors music, fronted by a madman with one of the most amazing voices ever heard in rock.

can you imagine being in l.a. and santa monica in 1966-67 ,listening to this song ,magic!!!!
Hands down, my favorite Doors song. Mysterious/psychedelic lyrics, jim crooning, the band is soft but precise.
Perfect song.
It's just a special song about love with some fancy wordplay, thats all. He'd rather fly than cry. flying means he'd rather pursue happiness then crying which means unnecessary suffering.
This song is so classic!! This is one of the songs that evokes the sounds of the 60s.
The most interesting thing about this band to me always has been keyboardist Ray Manzarek, which this track highlights about as well as anything of theirs
Also love Ray's production work on the early X albums.
He's a sheer rock music immortal and eternally encoded in its DNA. Whenever I'm in the neighborhood, I'll go out of my way to go riding past the house in which he was brought up and the park where he played ball as a kid.

🎸🤘
Touch Me is so corny though haha.
Always left off that list is "Cars hiss Past my Window." As good or better than anything they ever did. Pure Blues.
What a beautiful expression the girl makes when Jim sings "a thousand girls, a thousand thrills"...
I read through the comments everybody has mentioned some great freaking songs. The deep cuts. I always thought the soft parade was one of the most trippiest in a musical sense.
YOU CANNOT PETITION THE LAWD
WITH PRAYUH!
Must listen to " When The Music's Over" by the Doors .
the doors are my favorite band of all time. You should check out the song Hyacinth House.
Favorite Doors song…. After Soul Kitchen .
Quite simply one of the best singers not for his voice, which is a rich baritone but his lyrics are unrivaled IMO. Own the entire studio album collection with Morrison's numerous books of poetry.

You two are great, Waiting For The Sun
Thank you for sharing this with me
Wow, didn't expect you to do this one. My absolute favorite Doors song
My favorite doors song of all time. Reminds me of a strange but brief moment in my life during a really weird period
Enclose me in your gentle rain. Magical lyrics.
I always thought it was gentle reign.
There was a very popular Doors cover band in my area when I grew up. It was called Crystal Ship. That was the closest I got to seeing the Doors.
What a voice. Find the isolated vocal on line. Jim's voice and delivery are simply excellent.

An iconic Jim Morison and The Doors song. This is the poet in Jim Morrison at its best.
COOL . . . . . the thunder is a nice touch!
One of the lesser known Doors songs, but still a great song.
Open for the listener's interpretation, that's what makes music so wonderful, Ray could play that for hours for me.
I was thinking that thunder sound doesn't belong on this track, but then I heard it again during the break and realized that the storm was on your end!
They should have done Riders on the Storm
LOVE IT!! DEEP AS USUAL WITH BEAUTIFUL INSTRUMENTS. GO GET THEM JIM....
"When the doors of Perception are cleansed, things will appear as they truly are" - Aldous Huxley

On the top - Strange Days on
bottom - The Crystal Ship
@Brad & Lex - LOL..., hearing rain and thunder in the background....., dang, Y'all rected to Riders on the Storm too soon.
Classic Doors. Essential.
Miss so much jim morrison, one of the greatest of all time. Such an underrated musician.
Lol. How is he underrated?
This was a song they made out of one of Jim's early poems..

Aloha, 1st Benatar now the Doors...most excellent morning. Great reaction...a hui hou
Morrison thought himself a poet. This song is one of those that interpretation is left for the listener
The B - side of ' Light My Fire ' Great Song. " I'll drop a line " is last line in the song. ❤
Telegraph, letter before internet
Should have been Riders On The Storm in that weather.
"Spanish Caravan" by The Doors. Their best little known song.

From what I heard, the crystal ship refers to a syringe - Morrison hated syringes and disapproved of his girlfriend, Pam, doing heroin.
No it’s about alcohol.

The Doors of perception and out of body experience was their goal... along with being in a cool rock band 😎
Not To Touch The Earth!!!! offical studio version from the album
On my funeral playlist. Beautiful song.

Brad really immersed himself, he apparently had some kind of memory in his head
The Doors are great! I remember my parents had a vhs tape of their videos & I used to watch it all the time. The Unknown Soldier video was really intense when I was young, also Touch Me was funny because Robbie had a big black eye in the video from Jim punching him the night before they shot it 😂
Crystal ship reaction, with thunder storm.. Riders on the storm. RIP Jim
Just to let you know I've been a big doors fan for over 40 years the song was taken from Jim's notebooks of poetry written about the 1st love named Mary who they broke up and he still hasn't let go even after he had success he still holds on a bit

You're right Lex.
Crystal did exist in the 60s & 70s.
During the heavy psychedelic music days.
I used to listen to this many a night to fall asleep or relax
next time there is a thunder storm outside do "Riders on the Storm" HA!
One of my favourite doors tracks
