The Doors Lyrics

    ------ About the song Shaman's Blues performed by The Doors

i'm having a nervous mild anxious what the fuck is happening attack right now. you see for no apparent reason, i decided to put together a playlist of all my doors songs on realplayer, a few hours ago. i found myself entranced looking at the video for shamans blues, while muted on my headset. took no notice really. got up, smoked a j outside, ate a little. thirty minutes later come back up stairs. same song playing. no big deal, except every word relates to the possible future of my life, especially in regards to prison; "Oh, will you stop and think and wonder?
Just what you'll see. Nursin' penitentiary" "Did you stop to consider? How it will feel. Cold, grindin' grizzly bear jaws hot on your heels" "He's sweatin', look at him". those lines sum up what could potentially happen, im guilty of nothing but the police here say i assaulted them.

"And if you have a certain evening You could lend to me" "saturdays shore"; tonight is saturday morning, the night the organisation my mother works for, is having a charity walk starting at 4am to dawn. in aid of people who abuse themselves or whom have been abused. which i've been asked to attend by both my sister and mother. supposedly upwards of 5,000 people will be participating; "the whole worlds a saviour". to add to the ongoing coincidences, earlier this morning i collected my social welfare payment (i dont enjoy being unemployed). after all expenses, which this week turned out to be an odd week, i have exactly 25e left in paper money. my mother earlier informed me it costs 25e to enter the walk. is God speaking to me through a song to offer up my evening walking, is this a warning about selfishness, am i crazy, i did just now think i remembered hearing a very faint deep demonic voice while entranced thinking about all this stuff a few minutes ago. i understood the phrase it was repeating but cant rememeber. i really don't know what's going on. but i feel i really must do this walk, and i'm going to hate it. i don't like high multiples of people. this is something way out of my comfort zone.

    ------ About the song The End performed by The Doors

I think all of you have a point. Great poetry creates differing interpretations. I empathize with Jim because I had a mother similar to his father. I feel similar pain that I believe he felt. In fact, I express my pain and spirituality in poetry that I write.

    ------ About the song Not To Touch The Earth performed by The Doors

Anyone saying modern music sucks isn't looking hard enough. They were making shit during the 1960s and 70s too you know. Music being put out to such a wide audience on tv and radio was something that had never been used to there full potential until bands like e Beatles and the doors. Distributing music like that was still so young. And still is. It's just come to a point now where systems shift and change. The top bands aren't found by the big cheeses anymore as those company's were sold on to fat cats or they lost the passion. Things change, learn you need to look elsewhere for good music. There are so many good modern bands coming out at the moment. But you still seak approval. If you can't find it in your own generations overall music tastes then you go to your parents. Don't worry about anyone else thinking its good, or looking cool, if you find a good band, listen to them, go to all their small gigs, or even their big ones. Remember that bands have. A lot more freedom newer days to pick their own deals, if they are clever they can work it so they maintain there inderviduality. But remember bands in the 60s and 70s where fashioned to meet a target audience. Just listen to independent radio stations and go to as many live gigs as possible. And by lots of vinyl. Because its funky.

    ------ About the song Gloria performed by The Doors

Wow! I am a 60's kid and I guess even as a teen in the 70's I never heard this. I did now. Just l listened and yeah, he said what he said. Wow that blows my mind like Plant saying I wanna be your backdoor man. I only registered what he meant like 15 years ago. I just never took it to mean that I guess.

    ------ About the song Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar) performed by The Doors

Of course there is better songs than others for ANY artist. I have been a die hard Morrison fan for over thirty years. He was on drugs people. I think the song is very cool AND goofy. I only wish he had lived longer so we could review so many more hits that I know he would have gifted us all with. Rock on party people...

    ------ About the song The End performed by The Doors

I discovered The Doors my Sophomore year in high school...that was 20 years ago. Jim Morrison captivates my mind. To me, this song is speaking to his childhood/high school girlfriend Mary. She was a catholic and had a different lifestyle than Jim. He is telling her goodbye because she promised to give him another try but didn't. The Oedipus issue in the song doesn't fit the other lyrics to me...maybe some form of rebellion because of his hurt? I don't know, Jim wrote it...this is just what it makes me think of...kind of sad

    ------ About the song The End performed by The Doors

    ------ About the song Blue Sunday performed by The Doors

even if I'm not high when I listen to this song, I feel high regardless. Especially during the little guitar solo...something about the organ sound in the background just. sounds. like. heaven. hard to put into words the sounds of pure bliss and joy. Morrison was all about it

    ------ About the song People Are Strange performed by The Doors

I never get tired of this song!
I model my guitar work off of this, The Doors live on inside of me.
RIP Jim, may you walk the halls of music for a long time.
best song ever, you idiots better like it. :)

    ------ About the song Texas Radio And The Big Beat performed by The Doors

So what's it about, this poem set to music, apart from the sparkling imagery and a diamond lyric dusting atop of the Doors' peerles European Cabaret Rock?
For me this is Jim celebrating his Rock Muse - "the maiden with wrought iron soul". Rock was, and still is seen as a decadent threat to the Status Quo. Jim and his friends - the Doors - find themselves surfing the great sea of fame which constantly threatens to sweep them away, to smash their thin raft, or maybe maroon them on oblivion's isle.

While it all lasts, they will construct concrete statements, great slabs of songs which maybe, just maybe will bring the faceless boss man of authority down - well it happened to the Pharoahs.

The Negroes, those dispossed outsiders who fuelled the creation of much of the modern musical idiom, are namechecked. They have primal wisdom, and they have been inviting us to join them in the wild celebration of release from inner bondage for many decades now; for centuries even.

The spiritual paucity of modern life CAN be healed Jim seems to say, if you will only listen to the mus. For she is delicate, feminine... with a heart of sculpted, ringing, wrought metal beauty. When the music's over......
