Jim Morrison was the personification of cool. Very intelligent, handsome, charismatic and an amazing voice. He was the complete package. Add three equally talented musicians to the mix, and you get one of the best bands EVER in rock and roll history. Bar none.

The vocal is double tracked, sing once, and whispered once.

[@abracadabra3033]

I just got thru reading that , too cool

[@JackieG717]

That was the last time Jim was in the studio before he died too, adding those haunting whispers

[@cup_cuppy_cuppers5817]

Amazing how many people don't pick up the whispers or the door slamming shut. I had a kick-ass sound system in my car, once upon a time.... music sounded amazing. I will swear upon my death, the best way to hear music is a stellar car audio system. to hear everything as intended YOU must be centered in the speaker range. Hmm, I'm kind of hard core only because I've experienced the differences and limitations of home audio. Ear phones are the next best thing. The difference between ear phones and car audio (other than the obvious) is spatial. Car audio gives you the spatial... ie; you can better pin point where an instrument is coming from, as if on stage. Does that make sense?

[@tekay44]

all that from a 3 piece band. amazing.

[@patrickbuckley344]

I agree totally, one of my favorites- Ray Manzarek, was classically trained pianist who could play all keyboards, he was great at blues piano etc, Robby Krieger started as a flamenco guitarist , a fingerpicker who could play slide, blues, jazz etc., and John Densmore the drummer had a jazz background, that together they could create some unique sounds!!

One of my all time favorite songs. It takes you out of your mind and on a journey. You can see the rain falling on the high desert. Jim was obviously a mega star, but Manzarek was a musical genius.

I grew up with this tune and I'd never enjoyed it more than sitting here watching you listen to it. It was like we were sitting across from each other. You put the song into a perspective that I'd always missed, because I just took it for granted. Great hangin' out with you. Thanks.

I love hip hop mainly, but the doors are by far my favorite band

[@J3scribe]

Excellent review. I appreciate people who appreciate the finer things in life, and The Doors are certainly one of Life's finer things. Kudos my man. In 1971 this was considered pop music. 50 years later, WTF are people listening to now as pop? Predictable, repetitive, soulless, mind-numbing ridiculous junk. But you can dance to it.

[@davidmastro5406]

"There's a killer on the road, His brain is squirmin' like a toad." One of the creepiest, most chillingly evocative lines in the history of Rock music. Great reaction and analysis as usual, Abracadabra. And yeah, The Doors had their own sound and vibe. You can never mistake them for any other band. Please check out "The Changeling", from the same album. Be well, brother.

[@jdgoodwin325]

Every time I hear this song it makes me think of a dream, perhaps a memory of a fever dream.

[@MarcinP2]

Well to me it's an existential song. "Into this house we're born, into this world we're thrown" - there is really no reason why we are born in certain place or time that we know of, it seems random. Just like the killer on the road picking his victim, if your kids take long to get into the car he's gonna catch a different car. Again no rhyme or reason to it. This is what he means by raiders on the storm, the storm is the chaos of life and we're trying to survive it. In his last verse he is saying that love transcends life itself (The world on you depends; Our life will never end).

[@missblink4611]

Thank you for that beautiful thought. I’ve been listening to the doors since I was a little girl, I’m 36 now, and I still find their lyrics are always up for interpretation! That’s why I love it so much h ! I loved to hear someone else has deeply read into lyrics ❤️🇨🇦 hope for humanity

If you're interested there is a movie with Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison, check it out some serious knowledge there.

[@Yesquire0]

The director of that movie was Oliver Stone, who has never let mundane facts get in the way of telling a surreal story. In the case of Jim Morrison and The Doors, Stone's lyrical approach was absolutely perfect for his subject.

[@williamwallace5857]

It was just about as inaccurate as Mel Gibson's 'Braveheart'.

[@Yesquire0]

@@williamwallace5857 A good storyteller never lets facts get in the way of a good story. I'm sure that a more matter -of-fact depiction of Morrison's decline into drugs and alcohol would have been quite a dismal thing to view on the big screen.

The CGTrio deserves much more respect and reknown. It appears that a solely instrumental band just cannot get any traction in the world of popular music. I'd highly recommend anybody reading this to go see them when they are once again out touring. Cheap ticket in intimate venues, jaw dropping virtuosity. You probably won't jump out of your seat and start dancing and shouting, but you'll get you money's worth.

[@salvadorobregon5106]

This is the last song Jim recorded in the studio .

[@MrDiddyDee]

This is a brilliant mood piece: sultry vocals, keys like raindrops, classic spooky tremolo effect on the guitar, and a swinging jazzy groove on the drums. Jim whispering a vocal behind his singing is genius, so creepy, like the hitcher's whispering in your ear. The 3rd verse doesn't have the same narrative, wish he'd hit us with a killer (literally) verse there, but hey, it's still very cool. I guess you could say the 'gotta love your man' lines have a kinda link, in that you never know what might be around the corner, so make sure the ones you love know that you do.

[@kelvinkloud]

precisely. its exsistential wisdom & points very much to the american experience. the road is time & fate. the hitcher motif presents itself as the choice of temptation. evil. take him for the ride & one or culture itself will consume oneself. contrastly, ride forward & seek love, wisdom & family & one finds endurance & survival. both individually & collectively as a culture.... the is a very deep & mediative ode to survival in the West now & going forward (down the road).

[@kf8346]

The doors is a band named after the book “the doors of perception” by Huxley. It is about taking mescaline. The whole idea is that our brains limit their own capability, cuz we are also being hunted by tigers. So if you eat mushrooms and try to tie your shoes, then you start to see how being completely aware of everything is actually harmful.

[@CAvalos696]

I love that you just lay back and just feel the vibe

[@randallmccoy8581]

Glad to see another "Doors of Perception" fan. Their songs often contained nicely fleshed out multiple solos that threaded and meandered their way in and out in the most delightful ways, never showoffy, but rather, to serve the vibe...and although the music was very rockin' and bluesey, it was often dark, trippy and philosophical...which I really dig.
