Spanish Caravan

[TheWallsScreamedPoetry]

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 basic music for Spanish Caravan was pilfered from here

Malaguena, from the Andalucia Suite by Ernesto Lecuona

Asturias - Isaac Albeniz

It's a beautiful song and it shows the wide variety of musical influences of the Doors

I've always wondered why Albeniz's piece was titled Asturias; I think it is clearly flamenco and flamenco is from Andalucia not from Asturias.

That's one of the fascinations of The Doors not only their musical influences but literary, cinematic and theatrical.
They were obviously not the only band to boast this but definitely one of the smartest.
