HEADS HANDS and FEET is one of the bands that 'spoiled' me in my youth. This British band was overlooked by many in the US back in the day, but once you give them a listen, trust me, you will want to keep this great music alive and share it with your fans! Their first double-album from 1971, is loaded with amazing cuts; superb guitar licks, beautiful harmonies, and haunting lyrics, with a bit of country flavor, even some cow-bell! In fact the album features the original 'Country Boy' written by them. Start with these cuts and then start a playlist if you're convinced. But please don't bother with live performances. They just pale compared with these masterfully produced studio cuts. >Song for Suzie: (Contains a legendary guitar solo by Albert Lee) ua-cam.com/video/kf5A2nFhK80/v-deo.html >>I Wish You Knew Me: ua-cam.com/video/u7Ox8oZPQ30/v-deo.html >>>Look At The World It's Changing/You Because You Know Me: ua-cam.com/video/DtkWTwMTMic/v-deo.html >>>>Country Boy: ua-cam.com/video/8GzmswOQWz8/v-deo.html I will keep reminding you until you get the message.
Jamel,you are a very well rounded musical expert. pleasure to listen to your vast variety of songs. He's a poet and now we know it.😊.he wrote most of this and is buried in france amongst a group of late poets and artists.unfortunatly to soon😢
I have been listening to the Doors for more than 40 years and I am really pleased that 50 years after Jim's death in 1971, their songs and his voice are still considered masterpieces. Thank you for this reaction, Jamal. I really enjoyed that you took the time to actually understand the meaning of this song. Keep spreading love, Sir. 👏🙏
Probably my favorite Doors song. Jim Morrison started out as a poet, and many consider him to have been more of a performance artist than a singer. Their version of "The End" live is an amazing experience.
One of the greatest songs ever written. The rumor was that Jim wrote this song after observing the twinkling lights of platform holly off Isla Vista beach in California. I was there a few months ago, and it's not surprising to me that Jim was inspired there. Beautiful.
Wow! I went to UC Sta Barbara between 1973 and '96 (off & on, getting everything between my BA and PhD!), and we all HATED the oil platforms, that polluted the beaches for a hundred miles. I guess if you're stoned enough, you might imagine it to be a space ship or something though...
Carry me Caravan take me away Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain Andalusia with fields full of grain I have to see you again and again Take me, Spanish Caravan Yes, I know you can Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea I know where treasure is waiting for me Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain I have to see you again and again Take me, Spanish Caravan Yes, I know you can
When the British Invasion was going strong and the Beatles were dominating the airways, the Doors and Jimi Hendrix really brought the goods from the USA. Man the 60’s and 70’s really brought some phenomenal music to us all.
"When the doors of perception are cleansed...you will see things as they truly are...infinite"--William Blake It is said that Jim Morrison never considered himself a rock star(though he most certainly was) He identified as a poet. Great song review...this song is underrated : )
Great song, for sure. Btw, I bought the album when in came out, 54 yrs ago (hope the math is right) ... and Crystal Ship has never been underrated in my house. I consider "The Doors" one of the Top 5 best debut albums of all time.
Amazing Doors tune ! Never expected to see a reaction to this !! Jim is smiling from the other side hearing you call this poetry . ❤️ Duran Duran actually did a great cover on their album “Thank You” which was a tribute to their influencers
I was hoping someone would mention Duran Duran’s version. They get a lot of shit for that album, but White Lines, Perfect Day, Thank You, and Crystal Ship are so listenable, great homages.
@@imagine1004 sorry but…………. It doesn’t sound the same, was in different times. Not everyone can replicate your stuff, the haunting voice, the organ, the guitar. Is the same no one can’t replicate Save a prayer because he experienced that romance with that dream girl. Both songs are haunted but one is beautifully sad and the other one is beautifully happy with dreamy locations. I heard the song and I saw that locations for the first time 40 years ago.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤ Peace
You're lost little girl The Spy Peace frog/Blue Sunday L'America My wild love Wild child Shaman's Blues(my all time favorite Doors tune) Damn. There's so many great ones
Jim Morrison *was* a poet. (Remember in "Break On Through," he said "I found an island in your arms, a country in your eyes. But arms are chains, and eyes are lies..." Only Jim M could come up with something that great.) Please react to *"Days Like This" by Van Morrison??* Thx again for the great music/reactions!
It wasn’t until listening to this song again this year, after loving it for 50 years, that I realized “drop a line” referred to what you would do from the ship when you were docking. But you got it right away.
It’s double meaning... morrison did that a lot, like in waiting for the sun.... it’s both literal, to Mary werbelow, but it’s also symbolic metaphor as you pointed out.... morrison at his best, wrote 4dimensional lyrics. They could tell 2 different narratives, yet in a transcending way converge to an even greater meaning... that was the Blake symbolist influence... morrison was inconsistent. But when he was dialed in, he’s mt Rushmore level lyrically in the history of popular music.
@@kelvinkloud I don't remember too much because I was young at the time and I never heard of them. We won tickets 🎟 for being outstanding carriers in our district while delivering newspapers 📰. But I enjoyed the concert and was hooked on them. Light my fire and Riders on the storm were my favorite songs 🎵. Jim Morrison was amazing 👏
I was living in Australia when he died and it affected me profoundly. The were the first band I found meaning and a voice that spoke to me on a very personal level.
What a wonderful piece of music. Outside of Doors fans it's probably relatively unknown. Their debut album which the song is on has to be one of the top handful of debut albums ever.
that album cover was the first rock and roll full sized billboard, and it said break on through with an electrifying album. it was on the west coast facing east . and the next thing you know , there was another doors billboard on the east coast facing west.
The Doors helped to elevate the music world with so many great songs in four short years. Just as I remember where I was when I heard that JFK was dead, I remember the day that I heard Jim had died in summer of 1971. I had to pull off of the road to collect myself. Thanks, Jamel
Brother Jamal. So glad you really like the Doors. I have four many years but every time I hear this song, it’s like it’s my first time again. Ty for your channel bro.
In the late 60s, the big Chicago AM station was WLS, but the hip station was WCFL. One reason was the great radio jock Ron Britain, who every Sunday night hosted an underground music show, the Subterranean Circus. At one Chicago show, he had the privilege of introducing The Doors: "Ladies and gentlemen, Jim Morrison and The Doors!" As Ron humbly recounted on air, at set break Morrison, in a high state of dudgeon, cornered him backstage and told him, "Jim Morrison and The Doors?!?!? It's not 'Jim Morrison and The Doors'! If it were 'Jim Morrison and The Doors', there would be five people on stage. There's only four people on stage!" Ron, to his credit, took the correction, and said this increased his respect for Morrison immeasurably. Thanks for reacting to this--more reactions from their first two or three albums, please!
Back in the late 70's - early 80's, there was a band in the NY area called "Crystal Ship". They were a Doors cover/tribute band. I still remember their commercials on the rock radio stations advertising their shows. They were supposed to play my high school once, but only a handful of us bought tickets, so they canceled. That's the closest I came to ever seeing "The Doors". 😔
Jamel that "I'll drop a line" used to refer to the writing of a letter as a friend would say to another he wanted to stay in touch with. "Drop me a line" was a common expression at a time when there was no Email. Mailing a letter to a girl, romance I miss. I saw the Doors in 1969 at the Cow Palace in San Francisco, a long story, the best concert I ever saw. The sound system was perfect, The Doors were at the top of their game. Jim Morrison was great.
Well, you are correct about the Artful Poetry of The Doors~ Timeless, too- people thinking of drugs, applying it to their experience- but, when this was written, population didn't know of crystal-- we have to look at this from the Poet's Eyes 👁
THIS WAS MY HUSBANDS AND MY son's very favorite group. MY HUSBAND passed in 2002. Jim Morrison passed the year we got out of HIGH school. VERY talented poet.
This was off their debut album and would have been one of the first if not the first time Jim was recorded on tape . This whole album deserves a reaction and if you approach it from the stand point that one of rock's most iconic front men had no formal singing experience or training as well as no formal experience on stage this album is nothing short of fantastic . some people just have it ..
dude i've been listening to this song for like almost 20 years , it was awesome seeing someone react it it for the first time. it's a beautiful piece for sure. the keyboard solo, and Jim Morrison song writing.. amazing.
Hey Jamel. Talking about appreciating the love brought to mind a band I think you would love. The band is called Love and they are contemporaries of The Doors in a similar genre and with an equally charismatic singer. And I would love it if you tried them out, possibly starting with "Alone again or". Just a suggestion.
Thanks for reacting to this! I love the Doors when they're doing raw and bluesy, and when they're going off on a psychedelic jam, but this is probably my favorite Doors song, because like you said-it's pure poetry. And even though I knew of course this song wasn't about me, it FELT like he was singing to me, or for me. Thank you for keeping great music alive!
When The Doors recorded their music, they brought in a bass player to do the bass lines, but live it was Ray Manzarek who covered the bass notes using the Fender Bass keyboard. Morrison viewed himself more as a poet than a singer or rock star.

as a musician (not famous but love to play) I love your reviews !
The Doors movie with the Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan come on now did Meg Ryan look right in there Meg grinde I hope yes she was Charming
Please check out “Marooned” by Pink Floyd
Such a beautiful, haunting song. Jim Morrison was a poet for sure.
I think “haunting “ is the best description of this song.
Jamel,you are a very well rounded musical expert. pleasure to listen to your vast variety of songs. He's a poet and now we know it.😊.he wrote most of this and is buried in france amongst a group of late poets and artists.unfortunatly to soon😢
They had that sort of cryptid sound.. Great music..
The is probably my favourite Doors song. Timeless and Jim Morrison's voice here put him in the crooner category!! Beautiful.
YES!!!
Mine also.
Jim always fancied himself as a crooner. His favourite fellow artist was Frank Sinatra.
This song always reminds me of the 80's vampire movie 'The Lost Boys'.
Mine is Hyacinth House on LA Woman.
I have been listening to the Doors for more than 40 years and I am really pleased that 50 years after Jim's death in 1971, their songs and his voice are still considered masterpieces.
Thank you for this reaction, Jamal.
I really enjoyed that you took the time to actually understand the meaning of this song.
Keep spreading love, Sir. 👏🙏
Poetry 😎✌❤
It's a beautiful song, and the piano solo is one of my favorites.
Rock and Roll will never die. I was raised on classic rock.
The Doors have one of the most distinct sounds in all of music. Ethereal.
Perfect description.
Probably my favorite Doors song. Jim Morrison started out as a poet, and many consider him to have been more of a performance artist than a singer. Their version of "The End" live is an amazing experience.
He ended as a poet as well.
The Doors are the first band I remember. Dad had Soft Parade on 8-Track. Tears in my eyes when I hear them. Great memories.
soft parade is a great album 👍🏻
@@clarklee9820 I haven't played it in forty years - time for a catch up
I think I remember it
One of the greatest songs ever written. The rumor was that Jim wrote this song after observing the twinkling lights of platform holly off Isla Vista beach in California. I was there a few months ago, and it's not surprising to me that Jim was inspired there. Beautiful.
Wow! I went to UC Sta Barbara between 1973 and '96 (off & on, getting everything between my BA and PhD!), and we all HATED the oil platforms, that polluted the beaches for a hundred miles. I guess if you're stoned enough, you might imagine it to be a space ship or something though...
I also heard that he wrote this was after he broke up with a serious girlfriend
Dude, the brother was indeed a poet. He was schooled at UCLA in the literary classics. And he was a rebel. He was a monster.
This "is" poetry. Yes indeed..
Carry me Caravan take me away
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalusia with fields full of grain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can
Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can
why the quotations?
@@bbb462cid One of my favourite songs, "Spanish caravan" really nice poetry.
@@tassiolima5285 : )
His velvety vocals always give me goosebumps. Timeless music. 💕
Love watching you react to us old folks music, this song is hauntinmg, love it.
"Sounds like poetry" well Jim Morrison is the American Poet... rest well lizard king
Took the words right outta my mouth
Legit though. These songs started as poems and Jim put them to a melody for the sake of memory. The Doors were born that way.
My favorite Doors tune!!!
The crystal ship is the soul that sails life journey, both calm weather and storms.
One of my favorite songs! I always cry listening to it
I love how Jamaal says, "you have songs, then you have art" perfectly put suchva difference
There will never be another Jim Morrison. Such a unique voice and ahead of his time.

@@Keith-tc2ye let's keep at it
Jim never got over his first love who went to India. He said most songs were about her.
Love Morrison but Jim...said a lot of things. Some of those thing were bullshit. Not saying this was a fib, but he was a fibber.

Me too😉
Give a shoutout to the keyboardist... RAY MANZAREK, R.I.P. to the man who started it all for THE DOORS!

Jim Morrison was a fan of Frank Sinatra. You can hear the crooner in him singing this.
Bowie did a duet with Bing Crosby. Wouldn't a Jim and Frank duet have been awesome!
Frank _hated_ rock and roll lol
@@bbb462cid He REALLY hated the song "Light My Fire". That would have been a fun Jim and Frank duet! Lol.

The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat) by The Doors. Studio version. Would be a great reaction video.
One of the top 10 vocal intros of all time.
Very old song, but it's very progressive.
Just gorgeous
