Spanish Caravan
Carry me caravan take me away
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalusia with fields full of grain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can
Trade winds find galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can
~The Doors (Waiting for the Sun)
I've been a fan of The Doors for as long as I can remember - but this is one of the few relatively not-so-famous songs that shows the sheer talent of what they could produce. This is the only song I know that has some very nicely done Spanish guitar that actually sounds melodious and happy, yet has the uniquely stereotypical Doors feel.
Mojo Risin', baby!
(yes, I know that there is no point to this post except maybe being a fan-boy post to The Lizard King)
