An iconic group of all iconic groups...amazing! Thanks for this reaction, it's a huge song, in movies, tv shows etc. Next Doors...'Five to One' You'll love it, it's really hard.
Classic! Check out "I Can't See Your Face in My Mind" from that same album. It's one of my favorites of their songs. As for which of their albums was the most successful, that depends on how success is measured. According to the chart stats listed at the wikipedia entries for their albums, on the US Billboard 200, their debut went to 2, Strange Days went to 3, Waiting for the Sun went to 1, The Soft Parade went to 6, Morrison Hotel went to 4, and LA Woman went to 9. Measured by how many copies sold. I don't know. Answering that question takes more work than I want to do right now. Another cinematic spinoff worth a watch is the 1995 sci-fi film Strange Days, directed by Kathryn Bigelow, from a story by James Cameron, starring Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, Juliette Lewis, Tom Sizemore, and Vincent D'Onofrio. It flopped at the box office, but I suspect that was because audiences weren't yet ready for the story it told.
This song is absolutely one of their most famous, but the list of their famous, successful songs is pretty long anyway. They captured something about the era of the 60s but it also translates to now or any other time.
Polarizing band when I was a youth in the 70's. No in between people loved them or hated them. No I kinda like the Doors lol. I love em. LA WOMAN best driving tune in your 70s American muscle car. ( buddy had a couple GTO's). Great band. Peace.
Biz you should check out the Oliver stone Doors movie i think you would appreciate it on your own time and thanks again for mentioning me in your last lynryrd Skynyrd review searching your friend and fellow Rhode Islander oh yeah if you want a good lynryrd Skynyrd song that's not a well known song check out the railroad song from nothing fancy but I definitely suggest you check out the live from England videos first I mentioned in case you don't remember it's give me three steps Saturday night special and Free bird do the first two first they are much better than the album versions and free bird to is better than album and the live one from 1977 in Oakland don't for get to write these excellent songs down looking forwards to more videos
Jim Morrison was a poet blessed with a comanding voice.
When the doors of perception are cleansed all things appear as they truly are......infinite.
Love that you dig so deep into the lyrics of all these songs of my youth!
A cover of this song was in the movie "The Lost Boys"... That's when I learned to love the song!!
great movie filmed in my hometown of Santa Cruz, Cali
That was a great cover!! 🖖🏼
Great to have you back Biz! This song has always had kind of a circus feel to me, like a dark circus.
Definitely carnival-like!
@@ThePittsburghToddy that's it - carnival-like!

Jim had the mentality of a 50 year old man while he was in his 20s.... Waiting for The Sun is a great one by The Doors
My all time favorite band
One of the Top 5 Greatest Bands of All Time
I agree
Absolutely. When you look at their catalogue, the number of iconic songs that have seeped deep into the culture, is crazy. Including this one.
Love the guitar bit at the end when Robbie lifts the wham bar because it’s … strange.
Ray Manzarek's keyboards (piano/organ/harpsichord) always adds that carnival/circus flavor!
That Doors sound tho
