The Doors "The Changeling (Alternate Version)"

This is an alternate version of "The Changeling", taken from The Doors' L.A. Woman (40th Anniversary Edition).

So much energy in this song. Ray's keyboards and Jim's powerful voice, that's why I love the Doors.

4 years! That's it. That's how long this band was around. Just look at what they accomplished in such a short time.

4 years for a band! 27 for a man,the point is to do it with no regrets, you have to live uptown, downtown to say you been around!Time doesn't matter to the true artist only to the espectator!!!!

[@EuphoricTincture]

Hell yes, Jim Morrison's voice sounds raw as hell, and the guitar solo is sick as hell. Ray's funky chord changes and the bass droning along with Densmore's drumming. Awesome.

[@EuphoricTincture]

Do I know you? I'm not sure what you're trying to get across, but I was complimenting the song because I love the Doors. Perhaps you misunderstood what I was trying to say. Peace.

[@EuphoricTincture]

Lindy Primo replied: "EuphoricTincture here's the thing first I'm sure we don't know each other, and where I come from when someone says that someone sounds raw as hell and guitar solo sounds like shit thats not a compliment..." Where the hell did I write that the "guitar solo sounds like shit"? What I clearly wrote was "the guitar solo is SICK as hell." Sick, in this case, meaning awesome. Now, you didn't tell me where you're from, but you did misinterpret my compliment towards this song. Also, when a song is raw, it's natural, unpretentious and beautiful in its form. Maybe you're older or younger than I am and from a different demographic (I'm in my early 30's), but don't tell me to "GFY" just because you can't understand a sentence.

Sometimes you have to go to grow and find yourself. This song has steadily became one one of my favorite Doors songs. It really defines my life after I dropped out of college in 13' until I chose to go back this year. I am have had my ups and downs and now I am a man ready to come of age and fully start my life.

think doors to me are ultimately what Jim has in interviews about the band's purpose of opening your mind somewhere else (no matter where) has turned out to be true over the years. I need their sound I literally need Jim's voice like a dorga, a drug that spreads throughout the body and cradles it and makes it feel good especially in dark moments. Thanks Jim thanks THe Doors.

The Doors - the most relevant American rock band of the 60's and 70's bar none! Only the British Invasion bands of the era eclipsed the Doors in terms of relevance and a lasting musical legacy.

[@davejohnson-yi2rk]

They hit it big on their very first album. Not a single bad or even mediocre cut on the whole 1st album & not even the Beatles did that. One of the top songs by America's most original Rock group ever. 50 years & counting, their classic music lives.

[@JakobSeidl]

me & you that’s subjective, a lot of people would disagree with you and a lot of people would agree with you.

[@cathyr2419]

@@meyou-dv8ns That's YOUR opinion. MY opinion is the DOORs had way more talent, they rocked! The Beatles early songs, "I wanna hold your hand?" not much thought in those kind of lyrics. The teeny boppers liked them. Later on, when the Beatles "found themselves" with illicit substances, they're music changed. The Doors were great from the get-go. JIm Morrison type voices are impossible to find. He didn't sing at you, he sang through you. RIP Jim.
