The story is that Jim Morrison, was feeling depressed and went for a walk in Laurel canyon, in the Hollywood Hills area, he stopped and sat down on a ridge overlooking the city of Los Angeles and the lyrics just "came to him." It is the feeling one has when they are so depressed that the whole world seems to be against you...being strange is being depressed...
Laurel canyon has a way of doing things you don’t expect.
@@LuckyBastard-1970 I lived in Laurel Canyon and it was fine for me.
Where did you hear that BS? 100% wrong.
StanSwan, not sure where they heard the Laurel Canyon story, but that is exactly how Doors guitarist Robby Krieger recalled it in his autobiography. Krieger was an eyewitness to the walk & Morrison creating the lyrics.
@@girlfriday-nl9we He never told that story.
He said “when you’re strange, the faces come out of the rain”.
This has always been my favorite Doors song, and probably because it was in one of my favorite films, The Lost Boys. Great react fellas!!
Lost Boys, the 3 Heather's, wow that takes me back lol. The whole lost boys album was the soundtrack to my teens
Filmed in my town.
The lost boys introduced me to the doors on a personal level of liking. My parents are hippies and I definitely heard them b4 the movie, but beings im a huge vampire movie fan....this song at the end during the credits just hooked me. Now the doors and Jim Morrison are iconic to me and the absolute best.
Doors my all time favorite. Jim Morrison is so dam handsome. Saw the doors in concert in1967. I was 14 and had the iconic poster of Jim hanging in my bedroom. Now at71 I have that poster hanging in my living room. Still in love with the doors and never met a man that beautiful
My husband and I bonded over our mutual love of the Doors when we were first getting acquainted. He looks almost exactly like a blend of Jim Morrison and Val Kilmer, which thankfully we can all picture pretty easily because of the movie! Still married to him almost 27 years later.
Oh, and his actual first name is Jim. 😁
A woman after my own heart. He was magnificent.
How lucky you are to have that experience ❤
You gotta check out the song “The End” by The Doors. The Doors were part of the West coast psychedelic rock explosion that came to be at around the same time they were doing “The Acid Test” you had mentioned. Jim Morrison constantly fought the system and himself, he continued down a path of self destruction until his own tragic end.
My favorite song. They have different versions of this song as well.
@@decemberwind69It’s one of my many favorites.
I loved the movie and I have an audio book about Jim Morrison that I’ve listened to probably a 100 times or so.
You must have heard "Light My Fire" by the Doors. It was released in 1966 but has Bern used in movies, ads etc
Well, this was a big nothing burger.
@stj971 my post is a nothing burger? I was just adding information about what I think is their most famous song.
67 not 66
I was thinking if he heard anything from them it's that song.
And 66 or 67 or 77? Or who cares? Internet is silly !
only the full version, not the shortened radio one. with the solos.
This song is written by Jim Morrison and guitarist Robby Krieger, but glad you're getting into more of The Doors. There is so much good music.
And Jim would really rather be described as a poet, so yes their music is possibly more of an experience than it is "just" music
This was used in the vampire movie "The Lost Boys". Love this song.
Jim Morrison was a Poet first of all. His friend Ray Mansuric/ organ player, met him on the beach and liked his poems. He wanted to make songs out of them. They knew each other from Film school as well. Jim morrison had an IQ of 149.
Right, Jim had written poetry for a long time, but according to Ray, when he ran into Ray at Venice Beach, Jim sang him the lyrics to “Moonlight Drive” because that song & others he had written had been playing in his head like a concert. Which if true means he was a musical genius because he’d had no vocal training & little musical experience at that point.
@girlfriday-nl9we Jim was also homeless and living on top of someone's roof during that time.. Ray took him in. During the time he was on the roof, he had a halusination of the supernatural. Jim was dabbling with the dark arts. He also didn't die in the bathtub. He died at a nightclub in Paris. Trying to score some heroin. He would snort it and they found him with his mouth foaming. And the owner panicked because he OD and he got 2 bouncers to take him back to his hotel and plant him in the bathtub. Pam was in on it as well. There was no autopsy, the owner of the club didn't want a scandal.
It too stupid and drank himself to death. IQ means nothing. Most of the time. His dad was an admirable at the gulf of Tonkin and highly connected in CIA. Same with zapp, stills and others. Dave McGowan wrote a book called weird scenes In laurel canyon (something like that) it’s a must read for truth seekers
@@Belluser-we1uc5cb2lI love the story about him living on someone's roof in Venice Beach.
Jim was a high-functioning alcoholic. Not a poet/shaman/genius/etc. or all of the other superlatives that Manzarek and others have asserted.
Rider's on the storm was great
Break on through
Roadhouse blues
L.A. Women
So many
Moonlight drive
Break on Through
Love me two times
LA woman
Light my fire
Waiting for the sun
Wild child
When the music's over *
The crystal ship
Hello, I love you
Soul kitchen
Touch me
Riders on the storm
*next level greatness
I don’t think they ever had a bad song. I own all of their songs.
One of the influences on The Doors was the 1920s German songwriting team of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht. The band even covered one of their songs (Alabama Song) on their first album, and several Weill/Brecht songs had that same dark sound and feel as several Doors songs. Ray Manzarek's piano solo on this song sounds half jolly and half sinister.
Bowie covered that song too.
It's about loneliness, isolation, social norms, and pressure towards conformity.
Yes, thoughts when you are walking home, drunk and alone. All women are wicked, all other strangers are ugly….definitely a study in the emotions of loneliness.
I’m 35, I love alllll music of any sorts, and The Doors is still my all time favorite band. My mom was a punk rocker when I was young so I was exposed to a ton of different types of music, but still to this day The Doors is my FAVORITE. Something about them just gets me. I don’t know how to explain. I know they’re not the “best” band, but they just do something to me lol. Glad to see this reaction! Also, they didn’t have a bassist, it was the keyboardist that did the bass, so that’s cool too.
One of my favorites from Morrison..He was in a league of his own for sure. Light My Fire is a must listen. Great reaction guys. ❤
People Are Strange
1967 single by The Doors
"People Are Strange" is a song by the American rock band the Doors. It appears on the band's second studio album, Strange Days, released in September 1967. The song was written by the Doors' vocalist Jim Morrison and guitarist Robby Krieger, although all of the band are credited on the sleeve notes.
Another Doors song that has a similar "antiquated" sound like this is Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar). It has an old-time carnival sound with a bit of a German oom-pah band mixed in.
From Songfacts: Jim Morrison was depressed. He went to Robby Krieger's (Doors guitarist) house, they went to a canyon to watch a sunset, at which time Jim realized he was depressed because "if you're strange, people are strange." He then wrote the rest of the lyrics, which are about feeling alienated.
youngblood is spot on. The stride keyboard is stra8 outta the 20's intentionally. The sound influenced the lyrics and that was early 20th century poetry for Morrison. They were prob jammin the riff and he dropped this Brechtian vibe out of his notebook and the rest is magic. They took their name from Aldous Huxley's book "The Doors of Perception" and oh yeah boyee psychedelics were in the air! I loved the Doors cause they scared the shit out of the flower hippies!
The Doors took in all forms of music into theirs, including rock, blues, bluegrass, jazz, and soul.
Jim Morrisons father was a U.S. Navy Admiral. Jim had a degree in Film from UCLA and wanted to make movies. He had an IQ of 160 and was an avid reader of the classics. He was an artist, painter, poet, songwriter, and Rock God. One of the great artists of the 20th century. And he died at age 27. He was fixated on the Kennedy assassination and was doing research for a book on the subject. Probably killed by the CIA. Rest in Peace, Lizard King.
Interesting, there are a lot of undertones people do not usually catch😘
This is like circus music which gives it an antique feel. Yeah, not typically a 1960s sound but they did another song on their debut album which is overflowing with bangers. It was called "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)" and it also had a circus feel to it.
I have a big painting of Jim Morrison that my son bought me 15 years ago .
I love the doors especially Jim . Lol 😅❤ I have CDs and dvds and vinyls of live shows of theirs and studio stuff . They're so good. He really was an incredible poet. I have books as well.
Always cool to have Andy Rue tagging along!
Hi there - Jim Morrison was strange and I think a lot of people remember his name anyway! His words, poems, stage presence and of course his strange character. He became a very successful performer with an excellent stage presence (regardless of whether he was drunk or not) 😏. I like THE DOORS music very much (especially their vinyls) Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)
If I remember correctly from an old album liner, The Doors was comprised of a Classical keyboardist, a Flamenco guitarist, a Jazz drummer, and Baritone poet. What a phenomenal combination they were.
Morrison was a poet. There is a book of his poetry
When the Music's Over is one of my favorite Doors songs. I was a cult-member-like fan in the early 1980s.
in the late 60s there was this fad of 20s era influence. you saw it in pop art and in music. it wasn't just the doors you could hear it in some of the mommas and poppas music and elsewhere.
The End should be the next Doors song that you react to!!!!
This song always makes me think of projection. How people often accuse others of being strange or weird when they don't do what we want. So when folks aren't being friendly to a stranger THEY are the strange ones or when women don't want you THEY'RE the wicked ones. The Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek was a jazz pianist so he was very familiar with 1920s Ragtime.
good theme interpretation.... it is about projection & the station of the outsider.
Jim Morrison....short life
But
Major influence
R. I. P.aradise Jim 🙏🙏🙏
"Come on Baby Light My Fire" by the Doors. Awesome!
Love street and peace frog are my favourites, mr mojorisin is a God amongst men, such a great history 🙏🦉❤️🐊👍
Love street classic, the crystal ship soft parade when the musics over wild child waitimg for the sun, spanish caravan to many to name
I still have my Peace Frogs / sleep shorts from the early 90’s, if anyone remembers that line of clothes. 🤣 Always loved the Doors and Jim’s books of poetry.
The piano is meant to sound like an old western bar player from the cowboy days with a touch of the circus has come to town.
LA Woman and Light My Fire are probably thier 2 biggest hits
Listen to Riders On The Storm, L.A. Woman, Light My Fire, The End. He constantly had police ready to arrest him at all most every concert because he refused to see boundaries in his art. ❤
Also the Doors are one of my favorite late 60's bands, thus us one of thr first I herd way back in the late 70's, l like most of thier music.
To think of the late 60' & 70' there were 1000s of bands with very good & great music, there were lots of one hit wonders, For Sure Not The Doors, my favorite Doors you have already done, Riders On the Storm. Also not sure if you done Break on through, & Love Me Two Times, they round out my top three.
Watch the interview from 69 with Jim Morrison when he predict the future of music! And thanks for this, was awhile I heard it
I went through a “just listened to the Doors” phase in the 1990’s. They were my favorite band for a few years.
"Light My Fire" is probably the Doors signature song. "Touch Me", "Beak On Through", "Riders On The Storm", "L.A. Woman", "Hello, I Love You" and "The End" were all radio hits.
Also, “Love Me Two Times” (which was kind of an anthem for young men drafted into the Vietnam War) and “Love Her Madly” which if I recall correctly was in the soundtrack of “Forrest Gump” in a pivotal scene.
Just a fun fact..this was played at the very beginning of the movie "The Lost Boys". Great dramady...great reaction, you 2..The Doors were classic back inthe day, and their music still is. RIP,Jim Morrison. ❤
Riders on the Storm , Light my Fire . Good songs to know.
Omg I’m so excited about this one! I love the Doors, they are my favorite ever….❤
If you get a chance, find the movie called “the doors “, with Val Kilmer, playing Jim Morrison. This will pretty much explain why the music they played sounded the way it did. He was very very strong into psychedelics.
Soft Parade, Whiskey Bar, Waiting for the Sun, Back Door Man. Etc
Goes on and on. My favorite doors songs are not to touch he earth and love street
@@chris882211 love those too! It's so hard so have a favorite doors song
Iconic. Your guest was right on with the ragtime genre with the hard banging on the piano (no soft touch electronics) and the stilted cadence.
This had absolutely nothing to do with ragtime.
This is my college era music. I had heard that this song was written when he was feeling depressed and alienated. My favorite Doors song, however, has always been Light My Fire. Google the story about when they performed that song on the Ed Sullivan Show. Pretty funny!
Weird video. There is one out there that has the band in it. You might check it out. Some more of their songs to try out, Riders on The Strom, Gloria, Light My Fire (got them banned from Ed Sullivan show because Jim didn't change the lyrics like they wanted him to) So many great tunes! You should also check out Jim's poetry!
You guys are adorable! My older brother introduced me to The Doors when I was 4 or 5. I ended up stealing all of his records!!! HUGE Doors fan. Check out Riders On the Storm!!
This always gives me a craving to watch The Lost Boys.
He was a poet first. Loved most of they're music. I was born in 78. I always really thought the opposite that when you're strange people do tend to remember your name I guess depending upon what kind of strange you are. Aren't we all a little strange especially when we're alone in a crowd of strangers. They just have a unique sound in general
Got to do light my fire!!
Watch a live performance of "Light My Fire".
Listen to "Light my Fire" 1967...It was banned on the Ed Sullivan Show...💛
If you have never heard this.. then you have never seen the movie "The Lost Boys"...which means this isn't real life so I can just put this up to my head and pull the tr
Whoa... don't do it!!
The album soft parade is fantastic. Every song is a gem to me. Hope you get there one day
Jim Morrison was very much into LSD in any form. The song The End can definitely show you how he was different than anyone else.
many of the doors songs have a haunted carnival sound.... steven king was a teen when the doors were in their hey day. he was a big fan. still is.... no one like the doors then. closest wouldve been velvet undergrd. theyre the antecedents of goth & punk.... as far as meaning, morrison was a symbolist poet. he loved blake. so words have symbolic dense meaning & are meant to be connected together to draw out a wider theme. this song is about alienation. think the latest joker movie for a fit. .... you nailed the sound. its gotta a off kilter new orleans '20s ragtime vibe. evil lurks underneath it. that was their signature on other songs also. iconic band worth digging back into.
It must be the honky tonk piano sound in this song that makes it sound older. You often hear that in those old Western movies. I always thought this song was about touring. He meets all these strangers going from city to city that just want to be close to a star/celebrity. They don't care who he really is. They're all strangers in the end. People are strange.
Echo & the Bunnymen did a great cover of this for 'The Lost Boys'...awesome film.
So so good. I was raised on this.
The Whiskey Song is awesome! Light My Fire,,,When on Ed Sullivan show, he wanted them to change a word. Jim said ok but then didn’t do it. They were never invited back but they didn’t care. Just some trivia 👍
Fun fact I almost got a tattoo of a lizard (lizard King) in honor of Jim and the Doors in 1995 but went with a quarter moon and star to represent my “cancer” sign and love of the moon.
This was the theme song of the movie "The Lost Boys". They're the original singers of this song.
The Doors are the best group. Love all their songs. You should check out The End.
This has definitely been in movies.
Yay!!! Andiroo!!!
So many hits 👏
Jim Morrison's father was a US Naval Admiral and Jim rebelled and left Florida for LA, he had such stage fright he couldn't face the crowd at first. A lot of drugs involved with Jim's poetry and his poetry
This is Granddaddy Rock. I was a child when a lot of this came out.
good ear young man! The Doors pull from a lot of older style music!!! For example they do a cover of sorts of a 20's Burlesque song called "The Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar)" PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE listen to that one!
Yes!!! 🙌
Went and saw a friend play Hendrix covers on guitar at a bar. He sounded outstanding . Found out he drops acid when he plays.
This is such a classic song. If you've never seen the cult classic vampire movie Lost Boys, watch it. This song is in it and to me, fits the song and the song fits the movie so well.
If you haven't already seen it, watch Apocalypse Now where the Doors sang a song "The End" - unforgettable !
It's funny Jim Morrison predictrd people will not need a band in the future because computers will do all that for them kinda like what you do. Amazing
If anyone remembers what a reel to reel player is. I have a copy of this from the '60s on reel to reel.
The Doors like the Beatles, Stones and Led Zeppelin don't have any one style. They just write songs period. They are all very different. These bands all dipped in to different genres. This one reminds me of the Circus which was very big way back too.
Thank you for reacting to this great Doors song ! I fell in love with this song when I was 12. Jim Morrison recorded this in April 1967, releasing it in September 1967, when he was around 23. Strange Days is the other fantastic song from this album which is just as equally good as this one.
Its also from my fav movies had it as a theme song Lost Boys :)
You need to watch the movie "The Doors" with Val Kilmer as Morrison. He did all his own vocals.
You can learn loads about Jim, Ray, John and Robbie. By watching the Oliver Stone movie "The Doors", starring Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison and Meg Ryan as Pamela.
There's an original video from 68 that illustrates the song. Good observations on the 20-30s vibe.. Check out Whiskey Bar by the Doors. It's a German 20s musical hall tune.
I feel like this is a dark carnival sound. ❤
Watch The Lost Boys
This song was the opening song for the iconic cult classic movie “The Lost Boys.”
You got to react to doors when the musics over or soft parade, la women so many clasics by the doors cant even name them all to many
Jim Morrison has a film made about his life, called, The Doors. He falls in love with a beautiful hippy girl and in lust with a fiery witch. It’s pretty trippy, so hold on to your hats if you go for that ride.
'When you're strange faces come out of the rain".
He's saying that when you're stranger in a place you can become paranoid. Also no one remembers your name because they dont know you. You're strange to them.
My favorite Doors’ song is Love Street.
so i first got introduced to the doors as a 12 year old kid in my eldest brothers back yard. We sat playing poker and i was having a little (and i mean little ) drink in the summer sun. My then brothers girlfriend then put on a doors best of cd and my lord my world changed just a little. hearing any Doors track takes me back to that afternoon so vividly.
Definitely need to do more Doors--L.A Woman (choose a lyric video), Light My Fire, Break On Through, Peace Frog, and Jim’s magnum opus which was The End.
Get Andy to come back and y’all can react to “Riders on the Storm”: weird lyrics, beautiful keys and mystical atmosphere. They were a very creative band.
This young kids can’t comprehend anything haha it’s hilarious
This was the theme song for a really good Vampire movie back in the 80's or early 90's, it had loads of young actors in it who would later become famous.
“The Lost Boys” i think. Kiefer Sutherland was one of the vamps. And maybe Jason Patrick?
Jim's father was a Navy commander. They spent a lot of time in San Diego. Jim is buried in Paris in believe. I remember the Doors from growing up in the 60's
Because my surname’s strange i had everyone in my school days singing this to me
Light my Fire might be one you’ve heard. Great song too. One of his more trippy songs is Riders on the Storm, pretty epic.
#THEDOORS
Love this tune I really want to cover it! Absolute classic!
If you’re going to get into the Doors, I would recommend, LA Woman, Break on Through to the Other Side, and Peace Frog.
