They were among the most influential and controversial rock acts of the 1960s, primarily due to Morrison's lyrics and voice, along with his erratic stage persona and legal issues. The group is widely regarded as an important figure of the era's counterculture. • The Doors is the debut studio album by American rock band the Doors, released on January 4, 1967, by Elektra Records. The Doors worked on the material of their debut album throughout 1966 at various locations and stages, such as the Whisky a Go Go. The album's recording started after their dismissal from the venue, having just signed with Elektra Records. The recording of The Doors established the band's wide range of musical influences, such as jazz, classical, blues, pop, R B and rock music. It has been largely viewed as an essential part of the psychedelic rock evolution, while also being acknowledged as a source of inspiration to numerous other works. • The Crystal Ship written by the Doors is track three, and the B-side of the number-one hit single Light My Fire . It was composed as a love song to Jim Morrison's first serious girlfriend, Mary Werbelow, shortly after their relationship ended. Inspired by William Blake's poem The Crystal Cabinet, it is one of many of Morrison's songs inspired by Blake's poetry. • A January 1990 letter to the Los Angeles Times claimed that the song was about crystal methamphetamine, with the ship representing a hypodermic needle, and the kiss the act of drug injection. John Densmore responded by saying that although Morrison was aware that crystal is slang for methedrine, he wrote 'The Crystal Ship' for Mary Werbelow, a girlfriend with whom he was breaking up: it was therefore intended as a goodbye love song. According to Rolling Stone critic Narendra Kusnur, the lines 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 reflect the breakup. • • Lyrics • [Verse 1] • Before you slip into unconsciousness • I'd like to have another kiss • Another flashing chance at bliss • Another kiss, another kiss • [Verse 2] • 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 • [Instrumental Break] • [Verse 3] • 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 • [Verse 4] • 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
