day 230: The Crystal Ship

The Crystal Ship, by The Doors.

The Doors catalog was so important to me in my teenage years, high on the list of “things I used to listen to multiple times a week that I never hear anymore.” Is that normal? Maybe. How many of are still listening to your teenage music on repeat?

This song was always somewhere between a throwaway and an epic, I think? Like on the record it’s a relatively quiet and quick thing, but live versions might jam out for a while. OK, let’s get real, it’s a makeout song.

Keeping it quick tonight. Started learning and rehearsing one of my favorites today, but I need a weekend day to do it right. (Oh, pre-gaming the songs is not common, but I do try things in advance. I record each song in one day.)
