First Time Reaction | THE DOORS - Break on Through (To the Other Side)

[@DianeJennings]

For those wondering about my somewhat perplexed expression, it’s because I thought he was singing the words “ Sieg Heil” and for obvious reasons that confused me 🤪

[@davidgilligan4389]

Have you ever reacted to a John Wayne movie called"The Quiet Man"? It was filmed entirely in Ireland. Great film.

[@bbb462cid]

@@davidgilligan4389 Do you know the way to Innisfree?

[@DianeJennings]

@@davidgilligan4389 I did, watch the whole thing, but it got taken down 😢

[@CapnDan57]

We watched it on Twitch! The whole thing! With professional interpretation from Film Nerd Diane.

[@CapnDan57]

You might look into the misinterpreted lyrics genre, it's been meme worthy since before you were wəird.

[@LivingOnCash]

If you want a longer Doors song check out "The End". Not only is it longer, it will probably shock you a bit. My favorite Doors song is "Riders On The Storm" which you should listen to with headphones on, the lights and eyes closed. It will take you on a voyage to a different place.

[@lawrencedavis9246]

Diane has already featured _Riders on the Storm_ in a previous video. Scroll back through the list to find it. It was her first exposure to The Doors, and she was very surprised at how chill it was. She expected something more of a rocker.

[@TrianglesAndCircles]

The End. Peace Frog. Riders on the Storm. All great.

[@mattblatchley2061]

"Apocalypse Now!"

[@LivingOnCash]

@@lawrencedavis9246 I think you are thinking of her reaction to "Light My Fire". I looked through all her videos and didn't see Riders. She did LA Woman too.

[@mrwayneright]

Diane, not only would the review of "The End" be good, since you have degrees in film, you should make sure to view APOCALYPSE NOW, if you haven't already. Lots of pop music of the 60's featured there. "The End" is an essential component of the film. Studying lots more in music could make your approach to film stronger.

[@Courtney-Alice-Gargani]

This is such a great song. People are strange. It’s another great song.

[@DianeJennings]

❤❤❤

[@lordgrimsdalefaltintine2232]

The DOORS are quite the rabbit hole. Many great songs. "Light My Fire" is the "Big Hit". Try "People Are Strange", "Moonlight Drive", Five to One", "My Eyes have Seen You". Great band.

Hooray another Awesome video. I remember this song playing on the radio back in high school.

[@walterpanovs]

The first track on their first album. Just imagine listening to this explode unexpectedly from your turntable. A fine introduction to one of the all-time great debut albums.

[@elarsh24]

To have singles played on radio, they had to be short enough to fit on a 45rpm record for sale to the public.

[@jamesslick4790]

Yes. About 3 minutes is the max. You CAN fit more time on a 45' with compression, but the quality tanks REAL QUICK.

[@randalmayeux8880]

Also, the 3 minute "rule" fit in better with the Top 40 format.

[@henrychin4290]

At 3:15 since Jim Morrison sings Everybody Loves My Baby before Singing She get High. Looked up the lyrics. I always thought He was saying Shake it like She was Dancing on Stage to Entertain the Audience. It was the 60s though. This version sounded clearer than the version I've listened to on the Best of the Doors Album.

At 4:44 I do know what You mean about it sounding beachy like party music that makes You want to dance, eat, drink, and dance. Alot of the 50's and 60's movies filmed at the beach have alot of dance music vibes sound to it.

[@rickeycarey4556]

At 4:44 One movie I've always like the the movie back to the beach (1987) it had alot of classic characters in it from 50's and 60's movies plus some 80s celebrities too.

Jimi Hendrix (1942-1970) was black, and originally from Seattle, Washington, but did most of his best known work in England. Sir George Ivan Morrison was born August 13, 1945 in Belfast.

[@SeaMark782]

I live in Seattle and visit his grave now and than, also where his dad bought him his first guitar on 1st ave.

[@bumperu]

The "she get's high" was not on the original studio version or radio play.

[@jpmnewyork]

Indeed -- it was edited because "she gets high" was considered unacceptable, so all we heard for years was "She gets" which made very little sense!

[@lchris33]

Didn't realize it wasn't a big hit for 25 years after it was released. Minor correction with Wikipedia (or wherever the info came from), but Doors of Perception was nonfiction, not a novel

[@RoGueNavy]

"Riders on the Storm" and "People Are Strange" are musts.

I think "People are Strange " and " Light my Fire" are my favorites but also " Riders on the Storm" and "Love Her Madly" are great as well.😃 I was just having Bread and butter , Kerry Gold of course.

[@StevenCosta-tp2sw]

In the 60's, All cars only had AM radio that was mono. FM stereo started to get introduced into cars in the very early 70's, so before then, short mono songs translated best on AM radio. This song was off their first album. My personal favorites are off their second to last album, the Soft Parade.

[@Thomas-g4i]

One of my favorite Doors songs, Light My Fire is terrific too.

[@gregmcmahon957]

Happy Weird Wednesday. I really love The Doors Music!! Have a great weird Wednesday.

[@DianeJennings]

Same here!

[@lanpartyanimal5215]

These songs were written for AM radio play back in the day which meant they were two to three minutes tops. You can find two versions of Light My Fire, one shortened for AM radio play and then the full length album version.

[@thomasconlee4939]

Here in the US, in the days of AM radio, songs clocked in at 3 minutes or less (all but one of the songs on the Beatles album "Revolver" was in the 2-3 minute range) Billy Joel's song "The Entertainer" includes the line 'It was a beautiful song, but it ran too long, so they cut it down to 3:05" Radio edits were common...but once FM radio became popular, all best were off!

[@calebwilliams7659]

@Diane the 1991 movie "The Doors" features Val Kilmer playing Jim Morrison and includes a crazy/chaotic scene of this song being performed live in concert.

[@rickeycarey4556]

Today is Martini Day that goes good with listening to The Doors Music

[@kellyblackmon2805]

Van Morrison is an Irish singer known for Brown Eyed Girl and Gloria. The Doors did a cover of Gloria. Jim and Van were friends.

[@dennisk207]

if you want to watch a Doors song accompanied by a video, pull up "The Unknown Soldier" on KZbin. It's an anti-Vietnam song. Equally depressing is that Jim Morrison was dead soon after the video was filmed - which is fitting watching the end of the video and his bandmates are walking up the beach without him.

[@chrisbrimhall1613]

The one thing you have to admit…no band before and no band since have ever sounded like The Doors…such an original sound

It's now after midnight and I just saw this. I don't know why I didn't get the notification. 'She gets high' is what you THOUGHT was "Seig Hail". Lady Diane and Royal Escort Lord Chewy may you both have a WONDERFUL WEEK.

[@wabash9000]

I don't listen to the radio, but I like listening to hour long mixes. If there is a single song on Spotify and I don't know it or not in love with it or even a part of a song I'm not a fan of, I'll skip the song, but when it is an hour long mix I'll persist through a song I don't love to hear the rest of the mix. I like listening to music on vinyl because of the inconvenience of skipping a song so I'll listen to the whole side. I've found some songs I didn't know that I loved after listening to them a few times on a side of a record.

[@rickeycarey4556]

At 6:37 I do think The Doors song break on through to the other side is structured like a love song. listening to the lyrics of the song.

[@geoffthomas3238]

Good reaction love anything from the Doors. I was intrigued by your comment that most rock and roll songs are in some way a metaphor for drug use. It’s very true that drugs have been a theme and a problem throughout musical history. Jazz musicians of the 20s and 30s regularly used marijuana and dabbled in harder stuff. Point of the comment though is to direct you to some really good rock songs with very Anti Drug message. They are out there. Lynard Skynard’ “That Smell”, Neil Young’s “The Needle and the Damage Done” and Stppenwolf’s “The Pusher” all classic rock jams with strong anti drug message. Even some songs everyone was sure were about drugs really weren’t (if we are to believe the groups that sung them” Tje Beatles all vehemently denied that Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” had anything to do with LSD as Peter Paul and Mary have always maintained that “Puff The Magic Dragon” was a children’s song about a little boy and his magical frien a dragon and not a reference to smoking pot.

[@deormanrobey892]

It was common to have radio rotation versions and extended play versions, sometimes short versions were just edited long play, sometimes they were completely different recordings.

[@robertsitch1415]

Historically, 78 rpm records could only hold about 3.5 minutes per side, so that appears to have influenced recording artists and radio stations.

You should learn about backwards masking. the word that is backwards masked doesn't have to fit in the song. played normally.

[@scottferguson2092]

Thanks Diane! I was thinking during the song that it sounded like a psychedelic 60’s song. So I guess a 1967 release date explains that! It reminded me of my dad’s older sister who was a full on hippy back in the day with every stereotype that name suggests. It was definitely a different sort of time back then.

"Break on through to the other side" is an invite to explore the other side of yourself, the part that has no boundaries, the zone that is free from the shackles that society imposes on us. It's a place beyond a door, the door of perception, the door that separates us from infinite. Jim Morrison was quite a peculiar guy.

[@westtexas7]

Long songs were started in 67 which had to have the new FM Rock stations to reach the masses. Another phrase is Album Rock. With the Doors you should start with the first album and start your trip. For sure the greatest period in history to be young.

Watch the video. Jim Morrisson was a great performer. I had a major crush on him in college and had a full-length poster of him on my door.

[@CRabbit42]

Another reason that songs were shorter back then was that they had to be so that they could fit on 7, 45 RPM records that had only one song on each side. They were very popular back in the day because they were much cheaper than full albums.

[@sparky6086]

Radio stations wanted song ti be between 2 & 3 minutes, so they could fit in more advertising breaks. It's the way radio broadcast was structured in those days. Most music artists wanted their songs longer, but they had to make a living. Much later, after years of experience & study, broadcasters changed, where longer songs were allowed.

[@ChipG3000]

Yeah, rock/pop songs in the 1960s were usually between 2:30 and 3:00 minutes. If you love The Doors and want a longer song, check out “LA Woman,” or “Riders on the Storm.” Love your reactions!
