AMANDA-- "THE CRYSTAL SHIP" by THE DOORS

Hey all! Friday is here at last! Today I'm bringing you something different: a little psychedelic rock from the Doors. In their heyday, these California rockers were known for their controversial lyrics and crazy antics on and off the stage. This past week, Doors founder Ray Manzarek passed away from cancer. In his honor, I've chosen to share "The Crystal Ship" with you, a love song written for a former girlfriend of lead singer Jim Morrison. As a song-writer, keyboardist, and occasional singer, Manzarek made many meaningful contributions to the band's unique sound. Here is a case in point. For me, his piano work makes the song so touching and beautiful. RIP Ray! You'll be missed! Happy listening and, as always, thanks for reading!
