...and when matched with the music, sheer perfection!
The Doors' "The Crystal Ship". They were the quintessential Los Angeles band and took their name from Aldous Huxley's "The Doors of Perception". Jim Morrison wrote the lyrics, and everyone in the group received credit for the music.
While there is a growing intensity in the music, it does not overwhelm, which sustains the mood. When I was a teenager, it was the "thousand girls, a thousand thrills" that caught my attention, but also the haunting line "the streets are fields that never die."
Too bad Morrison left us, as so many of his profession, at age 27. I would liked to have seen what he would have become. Maybe a professor of poetry somewhere in the University of California system or at a smaller, private campus that would have tolerated his Dionysian personality.
Enjoy anyhow! The Crystal Ship is being filled....
