The Doors-Rock is Dead

Una rola del Master de un álbum titulado "The Doors - Box set - Without a Safety Net [cd1]"
Lyrics
Hi, you lady, alright, babe, gonna love ya
When I was just a little boy, â€~bout the age of five
I went to sleep, I heard my mama and papa talking
She said, "We got to stop that boy, he's gettin' too far out
He's goin' wild, we gotta stop that child"
And I lay there listening, feeling bad
You know, people, I was feeling bad
Mama didn't like the way I did my thing
The old lady, she didn't get with that thing
But my daddy was a sailor, get his head around
And he said, "Boy, you got to do it, son, get yourself intact
You gotta love, love, love, love, love, my baby tonight
Let me tell you, baby, â€~bout the death of rock
I used to be a boy in my home block
Used to feel alone then I heard some news
Bunch o'cats got the rockin' news
You know I love my rock 'n' roll people
You know we got some fun
We gonna rock tonight, yeah c'mon
Rock and roll is dead
Rock and roll is dead
Must be something else instead
You got to lay right down and die, die, die, die yeah
It's all over baby, that's it
We gotta go, we had some good times
But it's gone, it's all over
I got a few things on my chest, I got to get â€~em off
Now listen, listen, listen, listen, listen
Now I don't want to hear no talk about no revolution
And I swear to God I don't want to hear
No talk about no constitution
And in my frame of mind I am in no mood for
No talk about no cremation
The only thing I'm interested in
I wanna have a good time
I don't wanna hear no talk about no riots
No demonstrations, no cacitritions, no impablermations
There's only one thing I want to see
That's some dancin', we're gonna have some fun
We're gonna have a good time, let's roll
O boogie, all night long, yeah
Rocky little woman, be my pal
Gonna be the fool, gotta deep-dap-doo
You gotta love, love, love ya baby little lotta-gita-do
Yeah c'mon
Yeah, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute
Wait a minute, now listen here people
I'm talkin' about the death of rock and roll
And who killed it
I'm talkin' about the blues
I'm talkin' about the news
Have you heard, have you heard
Have you heard the word?
Rock is dead
Rock is dead
Now I didn't want to be the one to lay it on ya sweetheart
But I used to be a little fellow traveler
I used to think we had the whole thing sewed up, mama
Then I realized, rock and roll is dying, baby
I wanna see some fun
I wanna see some hanging out
I wanna see my people
Non-political, arithmetical
Transcendental, irathamadental
Coolambindang bupalookanimbo
Are you ready? Are you ready?
Are you ready to sing the blues, my baby?
Yeah, I like it real slow, I like it real bad
I like to get myself together
I love to hear you get undressed
Naked woman, out of doors
I don't care how loud you snore
Sun goin' down, way out on the sea
Here she comes, little girl, gonna set me free
Alright c'mon, now one more time
Yeah, tTrain a'ride, sixteen coaches long
Train a'ride, sixteen coaches long
Well, I got my baby
Gonna get on the train and run, yeah
Well, that big black train gonna get my baby
Big black train, yeah, the big black train gonna get my love
Gonna take her, gonna hug her, gonna, whoa
Gonna love, love, love, love a dingo yeah, big black train
Now when I got home, I heard my daddy say
"You want a little piece? Do you want a little peace?
Do you want a little soul? Do you want a little soul?"
I could not help myself, I could not help myself
I could not help, help, help
I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin'
I'm die, die, digadigadoohdah, whoa
It's over, it's over
Have mercy, have mercy
Have mercy on your poor son
We had some good times
We had a few good times
But those good little times, you know where they are?
They're absolutely, positively under the ground
And as long as I got breath, the death of rock
Is the death of me and rock is dead
Well, we're dead, alright, yeah
Rock is dead

In 1976 I had a meeting with the President of Elektra Records, Mel Posner. While I was in his office he asked his secretary to get a tape from the vault. She came back with a reel to reel tape. He put it on a tape player in his office and this was the song he played me. It was fantastic to hear a Doors recording that no one had heard at that time other than a few people at Elektra. I alway remembered that day. He then asked me what my favorite Doors album was and I answered Strange Days. Thanks Mel for the memory.

[@KOALAROCKERO]

Fantástica anécdota!! Saludos desde Costa Rica

[@francocrepaldi7871]

Good

[@thibautchevalier6409]

[@BryanX64]

Good pick too. Strange Days is my favorite as well

[@teambermessiah1157]

papaw you're full of it too

[@mae77mulagameplays96]

I was 17 when I bought "The Doors Box Set" and jewels like this were included. What a fantastic set. The book inside is amazing, with words from Ray, Robbie and John.

[@kellypeters2861]

The beauty of KZbin! I was 18 years old I bought a doors compilation cd. When I heard this it blew my mind! 44 years old now and I’ve found it again, still blows my mind. Wow

[@mirandacosgrove472]

“We gotta stop that child......” goosebumps

[@SuperMYSTERY2011]

He's getting too far out

[@danieljames8183]

My favourite piece of art.

[@sebristori2902]

ROCK IS DEAD AND JIM IS ALIVE !

[@io.l.6463]

I think this song describes perfectly the life of Jim Morrison

[@lotharroberts5978]

This is fantastic.

[@bumcheek7]

St. Patrick's Day. Nice.

[@brandonzazueta9500]

“Yeeeaaaahhhh, TRAIN ARIVE! SIXTEEN COACHES LONG” 🎶

[@tonymyers7498]

Mystery Train...those words by Jim....no one went there he was trying Mystery Train and his band didn't go there Jim grew up on Elvis s Mystery Train and then some.

[@chadczternastek]

I never danced once in my life and I never heard a song mellow me out and made me forget everything for a bit. But God how can you not wanna dance to this. For just a quick blues song it's really great.

[@me67226]

Who do you dance to this??? 🤪

[@abe1341]

El espiritu rebelde del rock no puede morir jim quedate tranquilo

[@kariofcal]

i miss this box set

[@Ickdaogda]

I own it. XD

[@marover]

Jimmy personified the rock in this song

[@philfletcher3434]

This was also very prophetic in Jim Morrison's case.

[@Fhalmonacid]

There's another take of this number on Spotify where Jim sings part of "Love me tender". Rock is dead is one of my favorites the doors songs.

[@rampa125521]

one of their best, however there is half a minute missing at the end , hear how it cuts off at the end, still thank you so much , Daniel for posting this and to Josko in comments for the lyrics

[@fredguillaume3674]

[@leonlevinsky8194]

This should have been the blues jam in the movie, “Blue Velvet”.

[@rutazzurra]

He says "Hiya Matey"...not "Hi, you lady"...

[@2011woodlands]

"I 'm dying, we had a few good times, they are absolutely under the ground"

[@journeyon1983]

The original song is 16 minutes and 38 seconds long so I don't understand what METUBE is saying about "WHY EDIT THIS?" This is the full version of the released song on the CD and I own it....

[@BrothersFirst]

Robert Smith who’s gonna tell him....

[@reinaldoferreiramelo6536]

[@jacobbarnwell8999]

Jim is funny

[@BryanX64]

Gene Simmons' favorite song

[@bumcheek7]

Oh God - You Killed It!! lol... (The make-up idea was genius, taking it off that 'Time', Not So Much - Wow Ugliest Motherfuckers in 'Mock and R oll')

[@MagnumInnominandum]

He would know

[@kinglizzard00]

[@jacobbarnwell8999]

Timeless

[@jacobbarnwell8999]

[@stuartzm9957]

[@deanfarquhar7777]

[@philfletcher3434]

It's got a 'Parthengenesis' Canned Heat feel about it; both are equally good.

[@GAZDAGP]

no no - some of the best parts in-between other best parts are ripped right out.

[@bumcheek7]

I Understand What You Mean.

[@hugogalaz6266]

Digamos que para woodstock avandaro isle of wight el rock declino en sus hippiosa psychedelic .... como supo jim que sociologos y otros escritores contemporaneos lo afirmaron como supo este cabecita dura de jim la verdad de esto .??? Aver sociologos y conocedores resuelvan aqui esa incognita.

[@juannavarro5487]

Jim era un genio y un visionario...

[@korbal61]

Rock is dead and me too ain't no good :D

[@DrakkarNight]

HOLY CRAP

[@bumcheek7]

LMFAO.

[@mrcool8127]

jimmy boy

[@seankofoed5701]

I'd say rock is dead compared to 30-50 yrs.

[@mrcool8127]

C'mon!

[@bumcheek7]

Nobody says that words cool as Morrison...

[@chaffmack7298]

safety net = Napa. Without = Goa.

[@publicembarrasmentservice8558]

today's "rock" is almost intentionally alienating its own audience. it's no longer reflecting our collective feelings, fears and hardships. it's i fully believe going down the same path classical music did in the beginning of the 20th century. it became so out of touch and pretentious that it died.

[@loucostello3111]

Nod to John Lee Hooker's 'Boogie Chillin'.

[@robertschiavone1501]

right on

[@medoelwerfally]

Do you wanna little soul ?

[@medoelwerfally]

Have mercy. Have mercy on your ...

[@gerardbouchard4537]

c'est une dédicace sur la pochette lol

[@GAZDAGP]

WHY EDIT THIS

[@ressurectionman]

so good rock n roll, before it became corporation alized and fucked music over to what its become, with exceptions of a few.

[@cesarmancini8339]

😂

[@TheAskTrixieChannel]

Is it just me or is this the *worst* way they could've cut this down?

[@parandparvaz]

I liked the music, but not the B.S. he said!

[@Conwayy33]

Why?

[@TheJayson8899]

This is terrible

[@Conwayy33]

Wrong

[@TheAskTrixieChannel]

An improv in the middle of the night by a drunk band ain't gonna be perfection, it was meant to be for fun. :)

[@TheAskTrixieChannel]

....also it's a 64-minute performance edited to incoherence, so there's that. XD
