"Marrakesh Express" is a song written by Graham Nash and performed by the band Crosby, Stills and Nash (CSN). It was first released in May 1969 on the self-titled album, ''Crosby, Stills and Nash'', and released on 45 in July with another CSN song, "Helplessly Hoping".〔http://www.discogs.com/Crosby-Stills-Nash-Marrakesh-Express/master/251558〕 The single reached No. 28 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 on August 23, 1969.〔http://www.crosbystillsnash.com/discography/1969/crosby-stills-nash/〕 ==Composition== "Marrakesh Express" was written by Graham Nash during his final years as a member of the English rock band, The Hollies, of which he was a member from its formation in 1962 until 1968. The band rejected the song as not commercial enough, but it found a home with Nash's new band Crosby, Stills and Nash.〔Zimmer, Dave. Crosby, Stills & Nash: The Authorized Biography. Da Capo Press, 2000.〕 Nash recalled his inspiration for the song occurring during a Moroccan vacation he took in 1966. On the trip, Nash traveled by train from Casablanca to Marrakesh. He began the journey in First Class, surrounded by people he found to be uninteresting—as he described it, they were all "ladies with blue hair." Upon this observation, he decided the compartment was "completely fucking boring", so left his seat to explore the other train carriages. He was fascinated by what he saw. The song mentions "ducks and pigs and chickens," and that, according to Nash, is actually what was there. He recalls the ride by commenting: "It's literally the song as it is—what happened to me."〔Greene, Andy. “Track by Track: Crosby, Stills Nash on Their Self-Titled Debut | Music News | Rolling Stone.” Rollingstone.com.
