Crystal Ship
Beberapa hari yang lalu gue baca blognya erly tentang lagunya the doors “Crystal Ship”. Dan kali ini kebeneran dapet website tentang cerita-cerita di balik lagu-lagu nama, websitenya Song Facts.
Di bawah ini facts tentang dua lagu The Doors, “Crystal Ship” sama “When The Music’s Over”
When The Music’s Over by The Doors
Album: Strange Days Post Lyrics (you have to register, but it’s harmless)
Date: 1967
Songfacts:
During live performances, Jim Morrison usually ended up flopping around on the floor.
The theme is music being the fire of life. When it stops, so does life’s spirit.
The lyric “scream of the butterfly” is a reference to a porno film.
2 guitar solos were played simultaneously. They were improvised by Robbie Krieger in the studio.
Krieger: “That solo was a real challenge because the harmony is static. I had to play 56 bars over the same riff.”
Performed live many times in 1966 when The Doors were the house band at the Whiskey-A-Go-Go in L.A. It was not released on an album until a year later.
The last song on the Strange Days album.
