Jim Morrison An American Prayer extended

[@Spicuzza568]

This right here is what makes me sad Jim didn't live. He had much more to say and give. If he took his time off the right way, from the whole rock star thing he was no longer wanting, he had the ability to get his poetry out because of his fame...he could have done both...do the music when it was time to and his poetry, he had so many years to do so many things.. but we will never know what could have been...anyway thanks Jim and the doors for what you did give

[@Ninikyu95]

The amount of views on this, especially for how long it's been up, breaks my heart. His poetry is SO underrated. Everyone knows "light my fire" and "break on through" but I don't personally know one person who knows his actual poetry. "Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws" is my *favorite* line of all time, since I was ten years old. I've never heard a more beautiful line. I only wish I could have been alive in this Era and been able to appreciate bands like the Doors and Zeppelin in person, in their prime. They don't make music like that, anymore.

I have to admit, I was a fan when I was young, had all the albums, and then I bought this one. At first listen, I was dissappointed. Where were the songs? But after a while it became my favourite album of the doors. It still lingers on even today.

Jim, in my opinion was generations beyond his time. A predecessor to genres and styles like punk & rap. His on stage freestyle, and discerning outlook on the world around him. A true literary pioneer.

611,590 when I listened to this. I first heard this in 1981 as a teenager. The words and the recording, for me, have actually evolved, matured and somehow become more meaningful over the years. I was astounded by this the first time I listened to it. I am still mesmerised by its hypnotic and dazzling brilliance today. An extraordinary recording. Timeless and ethereal with a voice and musicality that is resonating on into eternity.

He was the best, and the most underrated front man in any band, ever. He could have been the most famous singer of his time if he wanted, but instead he chose to stand by his beliefs and clash with the law, politics and the sheep of the world. But at least he was 100% genuine, and not a puppet like the majority of every other artist about. He had talent, brains, and ball's, and thats what made Jim special and unique.

This ode to Jim Morrison was a work of art, & celebration played by musicians...or rather, "virtuosos" whose work had come to an end way too early. This album was really my very beginning, into appreciating the true depth of what good, well written & performed music can give to us humans!
