"When the Music's Over" a track off the 'Strange Days' album released back in 1967 by the 'Doors' is smokin' hot and enveloped in psychedelia. 'The Doors' performing "When the Music's Over" live at the Hollywood Bowl in the Hollywood Hills district of L.A. from 1968 is FIRE. 💫🎤🎸🎹🥁🔊⚡🔥☮🎧
One of the greatest sequel albums to a first album ever. I love the guitar chord progression on this one. Will be singing Love Me Two Times with my Band at our Gig today as usual.
The Doors have their own sound too and most of his music shows you were he was with the drugs and poetic ways in his music 🎶 he was very good at what he done in his music. ❤😊👍
"Riders of the Storm" would be a good one to check out. During high school in the 1970's I listened to The Doors for months. Lots of good deep tracks too. Being a former professional musician, lyrics are important. Even if the meaning is obscure. It's food for thought. 🎶✌️👉🍁
Sweet! Classic tunage. Serpentine! "Strange Days" certified The Doors as a surrealist psychedelic rock'n'roll band. The instrumentation, the bombast, the chromatic chords, the organ runs, intoxicating on their own without need for chemical enhancements. The movie you described is called Lost Highway, a 1997 surrealist neo noir film directed by David Lynch and starring Bill Pullman as a jazz musician trapped in a tale of deception and homicide. Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails produced the soundtrack. It does not feature this song. However, the soundtrack for the 1995 film, Strange Days, a science fiction thriller film directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, Juliette Lewis, and Tom Sizemore, features two covers of the song, one by Prong produced by The Doors keyboardist, Ray Manzarek, and the other by German industrial band Such A Surge identified as the "Gelee Royal Mix". "Moonlight Drive" and "I Can't See Your Face in My Mind" are two more trippingly groovy tunes from the Strange Days album, but also check out "When the Music's Over" for another 11 minute epic banger from The Doors that also scared the bejesus out of the uptights the way "The End" does.
'End of the Night' is another strange, dark song they do like this. They have quite a few. Jim was seduced by the drugs, sex and rock and roll lifestyle of LA after dark, and he worked it into the music. Strange Days is one of my favorite Door's songs.
You're spot on! He wrote poetry, shaped a melody around it, and the band took it from there. Jim, himself, described the mood of the music very much the same as you did. th-cam.com/video/yrkM8N3ag5o/w-d-xo.html The meaning: Think of Edgar Allen Poe's poetry. His words painted highly detailed pictures. Not so with Jim's poetry & some other poets' poetry. Their words paint the backdrop, hand you the brushes and let you paint the details. The real meanings of the lyrics might be esoteric... something from history or mythology or something from their own experiences, but they create a mood/have a feel. Example: From Soul Kitchen: "Your fingers weave quick minarets, speaking secret alphabet." Mean anything to you? I didn't think so. Explanation: Somebody at the diner the song is about was deaf and spoke in sign language. Another example: Read up on Horse Latitudes (a real place) and how it got its name. Then read the lyrics to Horse Latitudes. You'll find the song to be quite disturbing. Don't forget, though - Robby wrote a lot of their lyrics, too.
jan van impe THE SOFT PARADE !!!! ships w/sails (from their first album,after jim had passed away in 1971: it has the same structure as riders on the storm,but the melody is far more beautiful .Sadly, when the song goes to a climax, the "new" singer, the organist Ray Manzarek, kills it a little bit, because he can't scream as convincingly as Jim...
You've hit so many Doors tunes now, it's getting harder to make recommendations! Gotta go to real deep cuts. Have you done The Soft Parade yet? It's a weird one but a favorite among hardcore fans.
Very appropriate song, we are the 7th generation and are living in strange days
2025 so far looks like strange days
Yeahh!

Excellent review Biz style !!
Best Doors album! No one was doing anything like this in 67. I hope you do the whole album Biz!

Great Song
Great song, great album.
"Riders of the Storm" would be a good one to check out.

Lots of good deep tracks too.

John Densmore really has a cool groove going on.
