I was sitting on the floor in a friend’s house, smoking weed with a few friends when the guy on the radio announced that the Vietnam war was OVER. You could have heard a pin drop. The radio guy said nothing more. This song played next. No one spoke for about 1/2 an hour. Surreal memory still brings tears.
@@Eddie-uf6bsi'm someone who reads a lot ( i speak french, sorry for my english ) and i just finished his bio last week. Def in my top 3 books ever. Loved him as a teen, i'm 46 now, and it made me re-discovered him. Wish everyone really "knew" him better.
You can say what you want about Jim Morrison, bad mouth him all that you want to. But "In The End" he is & always will be one of the greatest musicians of all time. His legacy will last forever & so will his music. I am 68 years old & feel very fortunate that I grew up in the 60's & 70's, the greatest generation of all time. We had the best bands & music ever. Thank you Jim Morrison & "The Doors" for all of the great music 🎶👍🏻
I remember those days, too. Great time for music, but hard on the artists. Like Kurt Cobain dying over & over again. When Janis, Hendrix & Morrison all died at 27. When I turned 28 then 30... I have always felt like I accomplished something.
WE SECOND THAT FROM OVER HERE IN THE UK, WE LOVED JIM ,,, DAMN SURE IT WAS THOSE PARISIAN COPS WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS DEMISE... Same age he remains an American Icon of the sixties and the seventies....
I hate people that just say that Morrison was just a party animal, an alcoholic, an acid addict. Listen to this song, people! He was an hell of an artist, first and foremost.
Man was a genius.Just like Hendrix.Lot of pain in their music and curiosity about the other side which you could only see if you did LSD once or twice at least
i read a whole book about him,even though the book tried to explain who he was i think he was just damn complex,deep for anyone to understand him. everyone that tried to tell him who he was didn't know him at all
That's because Donald chump rules . Might as well off yourself now unless you would rather disintegrate into the mushroom cloud mist what a way to go. Make sure you drink a few sip of the prepared special tea to make your journey more enjoyable. Gby
This song taps into something primal and eternal. The Doors were suggesting to us that the search for our deepest need and desire is in fact more fulfilling than actually finding it.
My dad showed me The Doors when I was 10, im 13 and they are still my favourite artists. The lyrics were poetic and genius! Jim morrison was such a legend
Glad you got to experience them at a young age. I was about 5 years old listening to them in the middle of the night. I was scared and felt safe at the same time. It's hard to explain but, isn't that what the doors anyway?
@@enriquevera3156 Si. Yo soy de la época del rock clásico que se escuchaba a nivel mundial. También recuerdo a Moddy Blues. Otro excelente grupo de rock y así muchos otros. Todos ellos ya está viejos tal vez arriba de 75 años así como yo. Cuídate hermano y disfruta del rock clásico.
I LIVED the 60's from east coast to LA and back by 69. This song brings to mind Charles Manson and his methods. Just the intro b4 the words starts the chills.

I'm sitting with a dear friend in hospice at the moment. This song keeps running through my head. It's not exactly comforting but it is somehow relevant. Her and her husband share the room in a memory unit of the nursing home. She will be gone before the end of the month. He will probably leave shortly thereafter
It goes deeper than religion, even deeper than our beast within, not saying religion making it better.. Our world is rigged upon "war" as evolution is a war between beings. Life feeds on life (death). We perhaps someday will have a world without mainstream wars, but there will always be struggle; the struggle and competition for survival, in one form or another. It's wired from the outside-in.
+greg battles "boy that would be nice. but we want see peace on this earth." Peace leads to extinction. Without the fight, there is no meaning. Without death, there is no life.
people who call the doors music crap are just not intelligent enough to understand deep emotion and the pain of that time..the door's music transcends the entire era. Open your soul then you will know why Jim is the master.
I think it just takes a certain mindset to enjoy them. I really did not see the appeal of the doors in my late teenage years for whatever reason. Just within the last few years, maybe I had some internal change that makes me feel Jim speaks to me in his music. The music didnt change but I guess I did. I understand the Doors now.
You gotta be there too when listening to this kinda music. If you want to hear the Doors at one of those Noble Prize Concerts, well, they gotta be remade into new renditions, not only remastered.
love this song, i love The Doors, The End is Jim Morrison's finest song ever, he was so damn talented, The End is hypnotic as hell and sad on top, simply love it
The children have always been insane........so good for the children and also children stay insane throughout life....everybody is insane haha , the worst cases are the ones that dont know they are insane...hehe
This song reminds me of my brother-in-law two years ago he told me that when he dies that song will sound he died a year ago and now I can't stop remember it and stop playing this song

DOORS The End signifiy the towering achievement in the fine tradition of American Rock'nRoll. Haunting tune, lyric and great voice chord of Morrison is simply MONUMENTAL. This song serves as a mental remedy, an ultimate drug for cure in the lousy TIME we're living as a modern man. I salute to DOORS' unparalleled talent, and achievement in the creation of THIS MASTERPIECE that stand above the rest.
Jim was a lyrical and compositional genius. In many ways, what became of him was the result of the pressures and unreality of stardom that he was unable to handle, and so sought to escape through alcohol and other substances. And he wasn't the only one. Let's see, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, Janis Joplin, Terri Kath, Brian Jones, and many others. Fame, without question, is a double-edged sword!
"There they are in great terror, for Yahweh is with the generation of the righteous." One day, some day, Yahweh Himself will Judge the whole world, and the wicked will NOT receive a free pass for the evil they have committed. On that day, The Great Judge of all the Earth and other worlds will surely do what is RIGHT!!! 262=252..... Yahweh RULES always!!! As promised by Him, " A NEW Heaven and a NEW Earth ".
Jim's father was an Admiral in the Navy. His mother and my mother went to art classes together in the early 80s in Chula Vista, Ca. My mom told me Mrs. Morrison did not talk much about Jim. She did tell me that when the movie was made, in 1990, Oliver Stone came to their house and talked to them about Jim's childhood. Mrs. Morrison still had a great deal of Jim's stuff that he had when he was a kid. Yes, he never really got along with his dad at all. He wanted to be a poet and his father was adamantly against it. He has a younger brother and both parents tried to keep Jim away from him as Jim got older and more rebellious. I believe he lives in Hawaii. Eventually, Mrs. Morrison and her husband built a house on Coronado Island here in San Diego and moved away from Chula Vista. My mother lost contact with her after that. My mom, who is in her 90s, does not know if they are even still living. Also, my mother told me Mrs. Morrison and her husband were not happy how Jim was portrayed in the movie. Though she did like Val Kilmer's part.
He was one of the best . On my way home I listened to this after seeing things . After a rough upbringing. The whole thing is this... Open mind then close mind .
I read an interview with Adm. Morrison, Ret., and he talked lovingly of his son. His daughter was with him, and they spoke of how brilliant he was and how much they love and miss him. His father talked of sorrow over things said and things left unsaid.
I sat around a room surrounded by friends 28yrs ago..we had just learned that our good friend had shot herself on a bad acid trip...she was 16..this song played over and over and over again..we just kept passing the joints..silence..this song...for hours...it was the most real trip I'd ever been on...
For those who think this is about the Vietnam War because of Apocalypse Now, a clarification. Apocalypse Now is based on the book Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. The setting for the book is in the 1800s in the Amazon region. It is about the evil inside all of us that is hidden until circumstances wake it up. The movie is about the evil awoken in Col. Kurtz and is set in the Vietnam War, but not about it. The song seems to be in part about a son killing his family... thus the evil inside him.
The part with the son killing his family was the Greek legend of Oedipus. Basically Oedipus was abandoned as an infant, and later in life he killed his father without realizing it was his father. He then inherited his fathers wife, and upon them realizing they were mother and son, she hung herself and he stuck 2 sewing pins in his eyes.
One point of correction: Heart of Darkness is indeed set in the late-1800s, though not in the Amazon (in South America) but in what was then the Congo Free State (today's Democratic Republic of Congo). Conrad was inspired by his own experiences working aboard a steamboat in the region in the 1890s, during the so-called Scramble-for-Africa, a time of rapid territorial expansion by the major European powers. Exploring themes such as imperialism, exploitation, racism, savagery vs civility and the potential evil/barbarism in all people, the book is probably one of the most scrutinised and debated pieces of modern literature.
Why do so many people think "the end "means the end of life?"When a man has finished he begins"Ecclesiastes...I think Jim would have understood that...He was in my opinion,the greatest song writing poet of the 20th century.
Nowadays and after years I dont understand how i dont get tired of this song . Its a sad song but inspires a new beginning after a bad experience. I guess it becomes the song of "the new day"
My top 10 favorite doors songs 1. Light my fire 2. Riders on the storm 3. The crystal ship 4. Break on through 5. End of the night 6. L.A woman 7. Been down so long 8. Strange days 9. The end 10. The soft parade
OK so for those who don't get it this song is ACTUALLY about the Vietnam war mainly because Jim Morrison's father was a us soldier. "the west is the best" is an ironic statement referring to america being responsible for the bloodshed by implying that western society is not as glorious as you think.
+MrCameramonkey agreed. But I think that only goes for certain songs. More intelligent songs at least. Cause I don't think that statement applies to Anaconda haha.
If I remember correctly Jim Morrison said about the lyrics "my friend the end" is basically about people's fear of death but living a painful life is more tolerable. So he kinda embraced death as yeah a friend.. my interpretation of that interview. But also the interpretation of the whole song is basically up to you. The spoken word is definitely about Oedipus complex.
I can never listen to the Doors without wanting to blaze. Their music was inseparable from those days and even in my advanced stage from time to time. Rip
This song is eternal, always loved and admired this music, and this song, as sad and deep as it is, always gave me hope, i knew that i was not alone. This world, this system is so damn sick and fighting it costs a lot of power, .... in the end i just want to say: thank you Jim!
I bet this song's popularity on ITunes would be skyrocketing right now if it wasn't over 10 minutes long and therefore ineligible for individual purchase.
Scrittore, cantante e poeta, un pensatore libero della massima pericolosità, Ray Manzarek si è reso conto che manca il gioiello più bello, essenziale, e *l'essenziale è invisibile agli occhi* (Saint Exupery).
A música mais psicodélica e mais verdadeira, com uma letra forte e mostrando o lado fraco e sombrio do ser humano, é como a dor de uma brusca separação, não só de de corpos, mas de almas. This is the end, my beautiful friend, my only friend.
"I see COL Kurtz standing near an old Buddah statue, the only visible light coming from a distant fire in the jungle. I'm scared and excited at the same time, with the blade in my hand." I wonder if that's how CPT Willard felt right before he carried out his mission.
Whoa, listening to this 30 years later...how deep. Such a different meaningful impact from the state of being a lost and alone teenage kid. Well, still a loner anyways 😉🤓🌈♥️
From what I've read a lot of highly intelligent people are and were; I choose to be. People are fascinating and beautiful individually, but as soon as they get in groups...whoa- George Carlin.
I Doors di Jim Morrison sono stati uno dei miei "idoli" musicali giovanili. Nell'età adolescenziale li ascoltavo molto spesso e volentieri. Il rock-blues di provenienza "lisergica", o psichedelica, dei Doors, la poesia dei testi di Jim Morrison, erano il "pane quotidiano" dei miei anni adolescenziali... Il brano in questione, "The End", fa parte integrante della colonna sonora di un film di "culto", assolutamente determinante nella storia del cinema mondiale. Mi riferisco ad "Apocalypse Now", girato nel 1979 da Francis Ford Coppola ed interpretato, tra gli altri, da attori del calibro di Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Dannis Hopper, Robert Duvall, Harrison Ford... Insomma, un cast a dir poco "interstellare"!
whoa... heard this the first time when i was 17, listening to it again at 70. didn't use psychedelics then, didn't identify with them then. today's journey for me started with Ram Dass - then lead to Mirabai Bush - then to John Densmore, and now listening to music of the Doors. we are, and have been always walking each other home...still letting go of ego, and trying to see myself as a soul. Easier for me to understand The Beatles song by the same title, 'The End'. "in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make."
Jimmy Morrison was a true poet. Rest In beauty and peace dear one. We all still love you soo much! You will never be forgotten baby! We will all see you when the blue bus calls us to The End.💙
Me as well. It's haunted me since I put it off until Halloween to binge watch it. I had no idea The Doors did it. I thought the singer sounded like Jim Morrison and I was pleased I was right.

Thank you for sharing this with us!
What can we say or I say,you have nő idea how tó felé jump out ín a helicopter ín the night.now im sitting here .and,feel morison every word.
One of the greatest poets in the history of American music. Rest in peace, Jim, we haven't forgotten you, we still love you.
Always is
Oh oui on ne l'oublie pas, il nous manque... mais nous avons sa musique la plus belle chose ❤😉😚

Pretty easy though... I have the same hair, drink the same, work more... And im 35. Never tried to live more than to 27.
Same.
He makes me aware that children are thirsty for the summer rain. Hmm, never knew.
im 28 now, it seems like the universe still needs my presence. don't know where it will take me. everything is chaotic. . .
For some reason when I'm in a dark place in my life and depression sets in, this song hits differently. Enjoying this right now.
Music is the best and worst therapy---the memories. Depression/anxiety/PTSD--all are real. I feel it too.
RIP dad, thanks for turning me on to such great music. So many good times listening to music together.
You can say what you want about Jim Morrison, bad mouth him all that you want to. But "In The End" he is & always will be one of the greatest musicians of all time.

He was a party animal, alcoholic, and drug addict… but he was also an artist, a poet, a talented lyricist, and a musical inspiration.
I don't actually think that someone does
Man was a genius.Just like Hendrix.Lot of pain in their music and curiosity about the other side which you could only see if you did LSD once or twice at least
he was on acid when he made this song, I give him props :)
i read a whole book about him,even though the book tried to explain who he was i think he was just damn complex,deep for anyone to understand him. everyone that tried to tell him who he was didn't know him at all
Morrison was a king. King of the poesy. King of the melody. King of the words. The lizard King...
In my eyes I see Jim Morrison as a man who saw things far beyond what we can never imagine and one of the most noble poets of the 20th century
"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved." Matthew 10:22, KJV
God bless you sister.
i feel the need to listen to this song on a regular basis for some reason.
For me it is the song "This is the End"

Listening to this the first time. This Hammond sounds epic.
Years later , and after several experiences, I understand this on another level I believe Jim was writing from and I am moved even more so for it

Jim was a lyrical and compositional genius. In many ways, what became of him was the result of the pressures and unreality of stardom that he was unable to handle, and so sought to escape through alcohol and other substances. And he wasn't the only one. Let's see, Jimi Hendrix, Keith Moon, Janis Joplin, Terri Kath, Brian Jones, and many others. Fame, without question, is a double-edged sword!
And Elvis Presley.

One of tge best poetic geniuses we will ever get to listen to not just hear it but feel it

I sat around a room surrounded by friends 28yrs ago..we had just learned that our good friend had shot herself on a bad acid trip...she was 16..this song played over and over and over again..we just kept passing the joints..silence..this song...for hours...it was the most real trip I'd ever been on...
Favorite song during COVID-19 quarantine days
For those who think this is about the Vietnam War because of Apocalypse Now, a clarification. Apocalypse Now is based on the book Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. The setting for the book is in the 1800s in the Amazon region. It is about the evil inside all of us that is hidden until circumstances wake it up. The movie is about the evil awoken in Col. Kurtz and is set in the Vietnam War, but not about it. The song seems to be in part about a son killing his family... thus the evil inside him.
The part with the son killing his family was the Greek legend of Oedipus. Basically Oedipus was abandoned as an infant, and later in life he killed his father without realizing it was his father. He then inherited his fathers wife, and upon them realizing they were mother and son, she hung herself and he stuck 2 sewing pins in his eyes.
One point of correction: Heart of Darkness is indeed set in the late-1800s, though not in the Amazon (in South America) but in what was then the Congo Free State (today's Democratic Republic of Congo). Conrad was inspired by his own experiences working aboard a steamboat in the region in the 1890s, during the so-called Scramble-for-Africa, a time of rapid territorial expansion by the major European powers. Exploring themes such as imperialism, exploitation, racism, savagery vs civility and the potential evil/barbarism in all people, the book is probably one of the most scrutinised and debated pieces of modern literature.
@@johndoe6298 Ah yes, you're right it was the Congo, not the Amazon....brain freeze, thenks for the correction!

Why do so many people think "the end "means the end of life?"When a man has finished he begins"Ecclesiastes...I think Jim would have understood that...He was in my opinion,the greatest
song writing poet of the 20th century.
Jim was warning us of the things yet to come.
Bingo!!!
Nowadays and after years I dont understand how i dont get tired of this song . Its a sad song but inspires a new beginning after a bad experience. I guess it becomes the song of "the new day"
My top 10 favorite doors songs
1. Light my fire
2. Riders on the storm
3. The crystal ship
4. Break on through
5. End of the night
6. L.A woman
7. Been down so long
8. Strange days
9. The end
10. The soft parade
This song conveys a certain madness, that’s what I like about it.
OK so for those who don't get it this song is ACTUALLY about the Vietnam war mainly because Jim Morrison's father was a us soldier. "the west is the best" is an ironic statement referring to america being responsible for the bloodshed by implying that western society is not as glorious as you think.
+NinjaVortex135 I thought he make this song because it was a good bye for one of his ex girlfriends...
+MrCameramonkey agreed. But I think that only goes for certain songs. More intelligent songs at least. Cause I don't think that statement applies to Anaconda haha.
He wrote The End to a girl he was gonna break it off with. It wasn't about his father, u need to study up on Jim before u start runnin yur mouth
If I remember correctly Jim Morrison said about the lyrics "my friend the end" is basically about people's fear of death but living a painful life is more tolerable. So he kinda embraced death as yeah a friend.. my interpretation of that interview. But also the interpretation of the whole song is basically up to you. The spoken word is definitely about Oedipus complex.
NinjaVortex135 it would make sense, seeing as it's in the BEST Vietnam War movie ever
I can never listen to the Doors without wanting to blaze. Their music was inseparable from those days and even in my advanced stage from time to time. Rip
Oedipus never had a better bard. An entire semester of Greek Mytho- psychology inside 11min. of poetry
This is the one and only true about this song. It has nothing to do with Vietnam.
Apocalypse Now is a great classic. Marlon Brando's acting was terrific.
Living in the time was at times difficult sometimes more than difficult [RIP] for my brothers and sisters.
Thank you DOORS .yes I'm 82
🤗
MASTERRRPIECEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
If i die in the middle of a nuclear disaster, or in a mythical war, i wan't to hear this song while. Beautiful.
This song is eternal, always loved and admired this music, and this song, as sad and deep as it is, always gave me hope, i knew that i was not alone. This world, this system is so damn sick and fighting it costs a lot of power, .... in the end i just want to say: thank you Jim!
I bet this song's popularity on ITunes would be skyrocketing right now if it wasn't over 10 minutes long and therefore ineligible for individual purchase.
Just kicking back listening to some good old tunes , before I go !!
Absolutely the end
Goodbye cruel world !!
Goodbye
This brings back soo Many memories to the good times
chilling adventures of Sabrina is such a good series with lots of good music especially this song
Scrittore, cantante e poeta, un pensatore libero della massima pericolosità, Ray Manzarek si è reso conto che manca il gioiello più bello, essenziale, e *l'essenziale è invisibile agli occhi* (Saint Exupery).
A música mais psicodélica e mais verdadeira, com uma letra forte e mostrando o lado fraco e sombrio do ser humano, é como a dor de uma brusca separação, não só de de corpos, mas de almas. This is the end, my beautiful friend, my only friend.
They show you their master plan in music, literature, movies, art, architecture, etc....
Apocalypse Now
Apocolypse now
robbie hughes No prizes for second best
***** My interest in Transformers long pre-dates the live action movies.
memepocalypse now m8
+Fury Gaming god damnit its the fire flies
I feel this in my bones today.
I would have loved to be in Jim's head when he wrote the lyrics to this song. Trippy, deep, but away with the fairies. Great song.
Самая любимая песня, навсегда!
Sublime. Intelligent. The Doors opened up and we really took a good look around. Thank you for inspiring creative thought. JaneR
I don't know why, but everytime I listen to this song, it reminds me of the end of the world.
Not long now.
Worldwidw global coup on every human being that inhabits this earth
This band makes me amazed!
8:40 I fuckin love the instrumental in this part, it makes me move whenever i am
So, what's wrong with exchanging my heroes to get the ghosts?
the music in this song is KILLER!!!
Amazing lyrics! He was a genious!
Has to be the greatest band of all time
Imagine Jim Morrison hearing this song in his final moment of life.
Maybe he did.
+Bikal Kunwar actually he did.
bro, that just fucked with my head
i dunno why this made me smile
Well sadly, he is.
Spn facts brought me here. Such a fitting song for the show too!
"I see COL Kurtz standing near an old Buddah statue, the only visible light coming from a distant fire in the jungle. I'm scared and excited at the same time, with the blade in my hand." I wonder if that's how CPT Willard felt right before he carried out his mission.
Whoa, listening to this 30 years later...how deep. Such a different meaningful impact from the state of being a lost and alone teenage kid. Well, still a loner anyways 😉🤓🌈♥️
From what I've read a lot of highly intelligent people are and were; I choose to be. People are fascinating and beautiful individually, but as soon as they get in groups...whoa- George Carlin.
I Doors di Jim Morrison sono stati uno dei miei "idoli" musicali giovanili. Nell'età adolescenziale li ascoltavo molto spesso e volentieri. Il rock-blues di provenienza "lisergica", o psichedelica, dei Doors, la poesia dei testi di Jim Morrison, erano il "pane quotidiano" dei miei anni adolescenziali... Il brano in questione, "The End", fa parte integrante della colonna sonora di un film di "culto", assolutamente determinante nella storia del cinema mondiale. Mi riferisco ad "Apocalypse Now", girato nel 1979 da Francis Ford Coppola ed interpretato, tra gli altri, da attori del calibro di Marlon Brando, Martin Sheen, Dannis Hopper, Robert Duvall, Harrison Ford... Insomma, un cast a dir poco "interstellare"!
Поздрави от България!
*SIMPLE. BEST SONG EVER MADE IN HISTORY.*
whoa... heard this the first time when i was 17, listening to it again at 70. didn't use psychedelics then, didn't identify with them then. today's journey for me started with Ram Dass - then lead to Mirabai Bush - then to John Densmore, and now listening to music of the Doors. we are, and have been always walking each other home...still letting go of ego, and trying to see myself as a soul. Easier for me to understand The Beatles song by the same title, 'The End'. "in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make."
Quando ouço esta Musica...Nada pode descrever o que eu sinto!
te entendo
This is the poem of my life.
Freud approve it

03/20/2020 Covid-19 World wide pandemic . Everything changed and the paradigm shifted... & We were lost, lost in a Wilderness ...
@Gina in context, my comment was from 8mos ago.
@Gina am I arguing the death rate ? am I even arguing ?
It is not long... it is just beautiful
This song is so haunting. It was the swan song for the 60s…so sad.
the best song by the doors by far
Chilling Adventures of Sabrina bring me here ✌
C.H.A.O.S IS A BULLSHIT
SAME
Me too
Me as well. It's haunted me since I put it off until Halloween to binge watch it. I had no idea The Doors did it. I thought the singer sounded like Jim Morrison and I was pleased I was right.
APOCALYPSE NOW
The truth will set you free.
