[@hastobe303]

@@fredkrissman6527 Because streaming music makes listening to an entire album impossible? You can skip tracks on a vinyl and shuffle a cd as well.

[@fredkrissman6527]

Are you just being disingenuous, @@hastobe303 ? Of course it's not IMPOSSIBLE to listen to an entire lp today, but many of the contiguous tracks are separated by f-ing adverts, and the digitization leaves a millisecond gap between every Part (as Pink Floyd often labeled each of their songs)... And the fact that you CAN skip tracks on vinyl and cds is again talking an affirmative action discrete individuals might take, versus the overwhelming tendency in those formats to just sit back and listen to the whole thing as the artist intended! The point is, the institutional support structure for streaming is rewiring how people consume music, and not in a good way. Just compare the popular music of today with what it was in the 1940s through 1990s, and you should be able to see the negative effects of streaming... It's really an objective no-brainer, IMO.

[@MagicCarpetRideShareProject]

So there is an extended studio version of this song. You could also consider try hearing one of the live renditions as with music in general live renditions tend to be at least a bit longer and sometimes have intriguing differences. I know that plenty of people know this already, but for anyone who doesn't, it can be a trip unto it's own. I will say that while The Doors live in general were a very different experience than their studio cuts, I often don't like it as Jim was too often (at least in the fairly wide sampling I've had over the years) too messed up on booze and/or drugs and the shows could be a hot mess. Even if I he was just a bit off on a certain show, I feel like the band as whole never got much of a chance to gel live (or perhaps re-gel after he started becoming erratic in performance as their early live stuff is tight and good, wish their was more those shows available). Still they do have some songs they only ever did live that are definitely worth hearing for real fans. Definitely a fascinating and totally unique group, never heard anyone else really come close and I've looked.

Right, they had a pretty similar timeline as Credence Clearwater Revival (I was just thinking again about their brief, but potent run recently) and both put a ton of great music. It's such a shame that neither got a chance to breathe a bit as a band, take a break and come back refeshed. But we're lucky at least that their music is there whenever we want or need it as spiritual lantern light, or to bust out the party grooves : )

[@billmaier9314]

Morrison was great at perpetuating his on myth, Indian scattered on dawns highway is a reference he told of when he witnessed an accident in the desert as a child of American Indians, he said ones soul leaped into his own

[@kelvinkloud]

its multilayered. its also a metaphor for a nation born in blood (birth of a nation). the road that led to formation in the usa was forged from the clash of civilizations. the indian wars had as much to do w/ forming our character as did Concord & Lexington. & it went of for 150 years thru wounded knee.... dawn is the beginning. hiway is its path forward. & scattered indians are those deaths that were spilled as that path made its way to the calif shores..... morrison is tapping into that river via his own time on that stream. seeing (or imaging) natives dead on a NM hiway melds into the theme of this arc of blood & violence from Jamestown to portland.

It’s not “about” abortion, but the lyrics were taken from an earlier Morrison poem called Abortion Stories.

[@kelvinkloud]

its both a personal & large eyes view of the cyclical nature of violence that ebbs & flows decade after decade thru the body of our culture. he uses his own experience of it as a child & in a flash brings it to the present of '68 w/ blood rising in chicago & saigon. then he presents the arc showing how its deeply rooted in his homeland (birth of a nation). & finally it also points & implies forward as it describes this process as cyclical in nature.... succinct yet very dense symbolist poetry. morrison at his best, vastly underrated as a rock lyricist.

[@brentb5303]

Jim Morrison was such a character the band gets overlooked quite a bit. Ray was a complicated guy and seems a bit much for me in interviews but he really gave the Doors their unique sound. Robbie did quite a bit with his instrument considering the tools he had to work with at the time. Densmore wasn't the flashiest drummer but would incorporate so many different styles that every song sounds like a different drummer. It's like the Beatles. Hard to compare any band to them because every member was required to get that sound. I sometimes go years without listening to the Doors but when I come back around to them I remember why I spent my youth with them in constant rotation.

'Indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding, ghosts crowd a childs eggshell mind'. When he was a child Morrison witnessed a serious traffic accident when pickup carrying native Americans crashed.

[@kelvinkloud]

when you enter morrison land, always remember, when the guy was on his A game (as here), he was a master at symbolist lyrics. A modern Blake. in other words, the phrases & image on purpose have multilayered density meaning wise.... w/ band tight & morrison in peak visionary form... it goes straight into the rising street violence & culture tension peaking in '68. the reference to chicago is a direct reference to that. but as usual it also builds transcending themes that weave in to make the song also an examination of one mans heart & personal past. from his innocent childhood eyes seeing carnage on a NM road of dying Indians to the carnage in Saigon & US streets. like a river, flowing back & forward off him & into the soul. how past blood connects w/ present & forward. how violence begets increasing violence. how its cylical & can rise & swallow, contract, yet come back again in new more virulent form. Even into the birth cycle & its cut off... morrison at his best was prophetic. this is a prime ex of that. its why theyre the most relevant band from their era. morrison taps into eternal & cyclical patterns of the West homeland.

[@theprofessor8589]

The song was a Metaphor for a real life incident that He, Jim Morrison witnessed when he was young. He supposedly witnessed an accident where two Native Americans where lying off to the side of the road dead, in a pool of blood. Morrison later said that he felt the spirit of one of the two enter his body, so yes, it is has a deep meaning to it.

[@jessii27star]

Heard this one when I was 7 years old & I have loved it ever since! The Doors were incredible! Music, sound, players & their instruments. If, you are curious about the meaning of this song...it came from something Jim wrote way before The Doors were a band.

About the part "Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven" "On December 9, 1967, police arrested Doors’ front man Jim Morrison as he performed onstage at the New Haven Arena. An incident that took place between Morrison and a police officer before the show led to Morrison’s public arrest, making him the first rock star ever taken into custody during the middle of a performance. As police dragged Morrison off stage, the crowd rioted. Morrison was quickly charged with obscenity and incitement to riot but was soon released. The band later immortalized the event in the song “Peace Frog,” released in 1970." I am originally from Connecticut and was born 12 days after this happened.

[@jesp999]

Blood in the streets is about protests, but it is also about history of the land, of Columbus' and slaughter and ghosts of slavery autocracies, that haunt this place. Its called peace frog, being at peace while the karma ripens, because awareness is knowing what is bubbling under the surface cant be hidden, what goes around comes around, and yes it is a protest song, as in the 60s people wanted to change things. peace is active, to try to make peace is to try to change things.jumping forward, and rock and roll and the doors were peace frogs. and this is just three musicians and I think they added a base player in the studio on this one, so mostly its four people and the three main musicians in the doors with three instruments are exploring every type of sound they can get out of them, Guitar Drums, and Organ, but changing up the tone and settings at different time. Changing pace. And Jim singing his full range of soft speaking voice and loud voice and mellow baritone blues all mixed together.

[@kelvinkloud]

bulls-eye....a nation borne in blood. & before that a clash of civilizations for the price of blood.... morrison was real into blake & campbell, also aware of Whitman and Crane. He read a lot. not only versed in literature but history also. like blake, he used a symbolist technique. concise but densely packed phrases and images. the key is to connect them likes stars into a larger pattern. in this case a narrative. its a scale up pattern, like a hawk drawing wider circles as it goes higher. in this case, the lyrics were relevant to that period in '68. But as you scale up, as you point to, it also shows the rings of time w/ the nations forming in n Amer. From wounded knee to gettysburg to the Iroquious war to the triangle trade to Africa , Golgotha & Rome . The thread is there. It also can be mirrored forward cyclically as we enter a new stage of unrest currently.... Wasp traces that lineage too.

3:00 "Blood is the Rose of Mysterious Union" That is some Jim Morrison Lyrics Stuff. Maximum.

There are some hidden lyrics with this song The Doors had a problem with a club manager in New Haven. Ghost and the egg shell mind. Jim is signing about himself as a child.

I love all of the classic rock giants (and a great deal of other genres as well), many who are featured on this channel. But for me the top spot is reserved for The Doors. Combination of depth and weirdness in the lyrics and the mind of Mr. Mojo Risin, melding with the shadows. A recurring trance like theme of slight madness, like a circus that mirrors the absurdity of our existence in a way, but without losing the pull of stellar, catchy tunes. Loaded with groove and atmosphere with a kind of spiritual/mystical shamanistic backdrop. They occupy a unique artistic corner of their own that no one entered before or after, which is rare. A sound track for my life, and in many ways a musical definition for how I see reality. Thank you.

Well said... they’re misunderstood by many. You have to have an open mind and be willing to give some slack at first w/ the doors b/c their uniqueness can be odd to the ears. Plus they took risk and that doesn’t always work. The doors could be inconsistent but when your mission plan is so hell bent on creativity that is going to happen. If you swing for the fences you hit more foul balls. Yet, when it came together they’re for the ages and as you stated well never to be repeated.
