The Doors: The Crystal Ship

Another masterwork of Morrison’s psychedelic poetry.

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
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

But always keep in mind that even a genius like Morrison wouldn’t have so been much without his band.

The Vaccines

If You Wanna

This song, and their debut album ‘What did you expect from the Vaccines?’, was one of the biggest successes of the guitar indie rock in the last year. You remember? No? Refresh your memory…

The Velvet Underground & Nico: Venus in Furs

The classic vanguard psychedelic rock & proto-punk sounds! So distinctive…

Lou Reed / The Velvet Underground: The musical companion piece to pop art. While listening I’m always on the verge of buying Andy Warhol prints.
