What a great and unique and band. In all the history of music, NOBODY sounds like the Doors. It's so laid back, has so much soul, and still rocks. The late 60's-70's music was best ever.
LOL @ the folks questioning the choice of this song. "The Changeling" is one of the best songs The Doors ever did. The entire 'L. A. Woman' album is fire. 🔥
"The Changeling" by The Doors is considered a monumental song for several reasons: It showcases the band's versatility and ability to blend different genres like blues rock and funk music seamlessly. The funky groove and James Brown-esque style was a departure from their typical sound. The lyrics, written by Jim Morrison in 1968, are seen as prophetic and autobiographical, hinting at his impending departure from Los Angeles and the constant transformation he was undergoing. Lines like "I'm leavin' town on the midnight train" and "I'm a Changeling, see me change" capture this sense of transition. Morrison's powerful and dynamic vocal performance, especially during the intense outro section where he repeatedly shouts "You gotta see me change," is widely praised and considered one of his most underrated. Ray Manzarek's distinctive Hammond organ playing, which he claimed was inspired by the Lee Dorsey song "Ride Your Pony," adds to the song's infectious groove and has been lauded by critics. The song's opening position on the band's final album with Morrison, L.A. Woman, gives it added significance as a symbolic start to their last chapter together. Despite not being released as an A-side single, "The Changeling" has gained a cult following and is now regarded as one of The Doors' most essential and underrated tracks by publications like Rolling Stone and The Guardian.
Yea I don’t get people that like the doors but are saying they never heard this song?? Like you never played the album la woman but you’re a fan?? Literally the first song on the album….
"I had money, and I had none I had money, and I had none But I never been so broke that I couldn't leave, town" Sometimes you are up financially and sometimes you are down (broke). But you can always make a change in life (leave town)..
Jim was drinking heavy at this time and his voice sounded like and older man on this album and it was the last album that was made with Jim after he died in Paris about three months later after this was released ..
I don't care what song the Doors do they are the ultimate of all groups! I was just entering my teens when I first heard them. My first hearing, due to having older brothers, just BLEW ME AWAY! The saddest day ever was when Jim Morrisson died! So devastating!!!! Decades later I still can't believe he's gone. I listen to the Doors ALL THE TIME over every other group!
This song is a culmination of Jim's connection to the drifters in life. The Beats like Kerouac who moved around and had to morph to survive. Jim was fascinated with hobos and transients in a romanticized version of western individualism and adventure. Trains jumpers and hitchhikers. He seemed to have felt more comfortable on skid row sometimes than in the Hollywood lights.
This was their last album. He left for France not long after the album came out. He said he was tired of being famous and just wanted to be living anonymously somewhere. He was very famous there as well though.
Don't get me wrong, I love this album. but honestly I think Morrison's voice is not at his best by this point. I think it was getting damaged by the drugs and alcohol, and generally not taking care of it.
@@aaradia Well, if it got damaged, it got damaged in the right way for me. It's just gritty and dirty and that's fine with me. But I love your comment, everyone hears things differently and that's fine. Enjoy your day, it's getting hot here, but we're about the last to feel the heat.
Great video!! I can recall when I was homeless and faced many things in life until $50,000 biweekly began rolling in and my life went from a homeless nobody to a different person with good things to offer!!!!
A lot of folks are still hoping for stimulus and salary to survive which won't do much!!! without no passive investments. I guess a few know about integrating into the micro economy to help substitute FIAT or usdt for a more tangible exchange Experience, it more like capitalization with about 43.307% profits/ ROI weekly though.. ps.. Caroline Maria Bravo, got me covered thanks.
I've stated it all, the most important thing is to have enough starting capital and to have a professional expert broker to help you with your investment so that you don't make any losses.
I was an 80's punk but an English teacher I had gave me a bunch of albums from the 60's & a Doors compilation was one. He also gave me a copy of No One Herre Gets Out Alive which I must've read at least 10 times in high school
Riders on the Storm scared the bejeezus out of me when I was 4-5yrs old ('70/'71) I remember hearing that song on the radio, lying in my sister's bed during a thunderstorm. Freaky!
From a web search “The song’s lyrics are open to interpretation, but they seem to be about transformation and change. Morrison’s lyrics describe a sense of restlessness and a desire to break free from the constraints of society. The song’s title, “The Changeling”, refers to a mythological creature that is said to be a substitute for a human baby. In this context, the song may be seen as a reflection of Morrison’s own feelings of disconnection and longing for something more.”
Neat little dive into St Pete Fl history: In May of 1952, with the help of Bill Wasel, Tom Reese cleaned out an old parlor at 7711 60th Street North, and named it the Beaux Arts Gallery and Coffeehouse. They invited the folk singers, songwriters, and poets, as well as artists of national reknown, to perform on the weekends. Fred Neil, Vince Martin, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, and Woody Guthrie were regular performers there throughout the mid to late 1950’s. From 1960 through 1962, Jim Morrison recited poetry at Beaux Arts, and was filmed in the garden at Beaux Arts while attending St. Petersburg Jr. College. In 1964 and 1965, stand-up comic David Philhour performed on stage at the Beaux Arts, along with Fred Neil, Vince Martin, and Oz Bach, who later became the bass player for Spanky and Our Gang. In 1966 Henry Paul performed his first performance, before forming the Outlaws, and later Blackhawk. Around this time, student film makers began screening short subject films on Super 8 and 16mm. Other people who were there during that time: Gamble Rogers, Phil Larson. Buddy Klein, Rick Norcross, J.W. Fonte, Don Couch, Stanley Powell, G.E. Sassani, Barry Sims, Jack Kelly. Hitch Roney, and John Eldridge He also lived jn Clearwater FL for his first three years of his life. Will have to research to see if his home still stands
Jim was giving his audience his walking papers, the Band's contract was up with Electra he flew to France he kept in contact & when airplay & songs be bubbling up the Charts there was discussion of an American tour but he wanted to shed his Rock Star Image & be taken seriously as a Poet( on his 27th birthday he recorded numerous poems which posthumously became " An American Prayer" & music augmented the lyrics check out "Awake(Ghost Song)" official video from Re-Evolution a video compilation it has First Nation Influence & Jim refers to 2 souls from 2 dead Mexican Indians & he believed they both jumped into his body & inhabited for the rest of his days, " Live At The Hollywood Bowl" has a version of "The End" where Jim does his own interpretation of Pow-Dancing during the bridge part
Great movie but it was not accurate and couple of the band members didn’t like it because it portrayed Jim as nothing but a raging alcoholic and they said he definitely had his moments but he was well mannered and kind to kids and also had a shy side to him
Yep, excellent movie. Val Kilmer's depiction of Jim was spot on and the plot no different to events depicted in the books, No one here gets out alive (Danny Sugerman), Wonderland Avenue (Danny Sugerman) and Riders on the Storm (John Densmore). Must watch.
@@kanemarko2503 Ray was not present during most of the interactions described in the book with the exception of those which involved the band and were supported by historical records. Ray's relationship with Jim was very different to that which Danny Sugerman shared. They did not hang out in the same circles. Ray is free to dislike the book all he likes but it doesn't affect the accuracy of Sugerman's account in any way....
Ill try to explain the meaning of the song for me..I lived out of DC on the wealthy side of town. My mother had the expectation of her daughters marrying Congressman and were trained accordingly..however i was a hippie. I trianed myself to fit in anywhere..every type of person i could in an moment be in that club..At the age of 18 i walked away from my mother, married a man in the Army who excepted me for the hippie chic i was..and he still lets me turn up The Doors and dance ❤
not only did he have a beard on his face, for this album, but he also had a beard inside his face.. his throat and stomach also had a beard.. if he swallowd a hairbrush, it would come out full of hair, because jim morrison was lined with beard
Actually a jazz band playing the blues in a theatrical style with a touch of psychedelia. LA Woman is their masterpiece - every song top. It's an album to listen through.
How come this little gem never gets its due props? You've got John laying down a relentless groove, Robbie with some slick jazz chords and an unexpected guitar solo, Ray absolutely lethal on the keys (deadly intro), and the Lizard King winding himself up with some improv blues until he loses it after the breakdown... just like every other song by the Doors!
Ok, The Doors have been my favorite band for five decades. I’m telling you, if you want a wild Jim song, you MUST listen to 1. Not to Touch the Earth. 2. The End (This made Jim the psychedelic dude of his time) 3. When the Musics over live from the Hollywood Bowl.
I believe this is their only album where they had a bass player for all the songs, without Ray playing it. Elvis´s bass player I believe. All the others were a combination of Ray and and a studio bass player.
All of their albums had real bass players. Most famously on their excellent debut, which featured the formidable multi-instrumentalist Larry Knechtel, who also plays piano on Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and lead guitar on Bread's "Guitar Man".
I am a big Doors fan and have lots of their stuff mostly live and that is the real good stuff because Jim changes things on the live versions depending on if he is stoned, High or drunk
I agree that "LA Woman" and "The End" are great songs and would be excellent reaction choices , but The Doors weren't just about their hits. Their albums were full of gems. I really enjoy Jay and Amber reacting to the more eclectic tracks like this and "Moonlight Drive" and "Love Street". I would recommend "Take it as it comes" and especially "Maggie McGill" as future candidates. Amber noticing the deeper tone and bluesy nature of Morrison"s voice is very perceptive. This was the final album that Jim did with the Doors , he left for Paris right after recording finished on LA Woman and died soon after. He was a very heavy drinker had gained a lot of weight and the years in the Rock'n'Roll lifestyle had affected his voice greatly , causing it to become much deeper and raspy. LA Woman is a very blues oriented album and Morrison comes across vocally as an old Bluesman not the 27 year old youngster he actually was.
Love the Doors. Definitely one of my top 5 groups of all time. All of the albums with Jim are great from the debut to L.A. Woman and every album in between. My dad was lucky enough to see the Doors twice. First time was at Varsity Stadium in Toronto in 1969. The second time was at St. Lawrence Market in Toronto in the fall of 1971 as a 3 piece with Ray on vocals. The Doors continued on for a few years and even put out a couple albums without Jim. Obviously the band was WAY better with Jim than without.
LOVE THE DOORS! Like a few others have said, I'm surprised that you haven't reacted to "Light My Fire". It was their signature song and the one that most of us heard first. I have to wonder if you reacted to it before I discovered your channel, but I don't see it when I search the archives.
The Doors riff on Booker T. & the MGs -- this sounds like it's heavily influenced by "Hip Hug-Her" from a few years earlier. What the Doors would have sounded like if they had recorded in Memphis for Stax.
Speaking of the Bee gees the mom was a singer and a pianist back in Australia and then when they were very young they all of the boys that were old enough to sing and play guitar and play piano they started singing and doing skiff feeling around Australia their originally from Australia they moved to England at a certain time and they got a contract at least the older brothers dance and then they moved to America the captain going back and forth to all the places that they lived great songwriters who wrote songs for other people Islands in the stream for Dolly Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers
My two favorite musical friends, jays little hippie girl you gotta hear “love me two times live” with the poem -Texas radio and the big beat” in the chorus” And “Moonlight Drive” live with the poem horse latitudes in the chorus, l
The album this is from, and some of the previous album, was where the band went a lot more into heavy blues-rock. This was their last studio album of six. But in my opinion all six albums are great!
Amber, a beautiful songstress, Angela Bofill, died on June 13 at age 70. She had two wonderful hits in 1978 and '79 - I Try and This Time I'll Be Sweeter. Maybe you could play one on Female Friday.
Jay and Amber: Since you love The Doors, how could you not have already done Light My Fire? That song is a touchstone of 60s rock. The best way to start off exploring The Doors. That needs to be the next Doors song You explore. An oversight - but that's okay. We're here for you. Love you guys.
It is about Jim being a rolling stone but by then he was worth millions. He also never owned a house or a car. He was never tied down by his possessions. You can be worth a billion dollars and be broke inside. He quit the Doors at this time and was unsure what he wanted to do with the rest of his life and moved to Paris and died of an overdose of heroin July 3, 1971.
Very deep cut, what we called an album track but all their songs are worth hearing. How about LA Woman, When the Music's Over or The End? All Doors epics you so need to hear. Give them a try, you will love all 3! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
I grew into this song, always liked other songs on the album more. LA Woman, Riders On The Storm, L’America. But The Changeling is up there with them now. That fast section at the end, where you started clapping? Church!
To me, this song is about acceptance and not categorizing people. Morrison repeats that theme over and over in this song. "A little Uptown, a little Downtown, a little all around." Then again with "I had money, I had none". He goes o to tell you that you do not have to accept the bad circumstances of your life with ,"But I've never been so broke that I couldn't leave town." You can remake yourself, aka leave town. How many times have you heard rags to riches stories? Or Corporate man becomes farmer? Stay at home Mom create million dollar company? And Jim's voice sounds different because his lifestyle was catching up to him. This album was recorded shortly before he died.
Jim Morrison wandered around L.A. and stayed at a small hotel...its a museum now, with graffiti on walls by fans, "Morrison Hotel" album name, too!!!👍🏻🔥❤
Every suggestion here are good and all, but the one you should check out is in my opinion the best blues track they ever did called '' The cars hiss by my window''. Jim's voice is the best instrument in the song.
I agree with below, if you do "Light My Fire", it must be the long version. It is the way the song was intended to be. Probably their most well known song. This song, "Changeling", never heard it. Fun to hear though.
"L.A. Woman" from The Doors is one of their biggest songs (but yes, they had sooo many big hits). Love song to Los Angeles personified as a woman. 'Light My Fire' is also iconic.
THANKS for THIS REACTION!! :) THIS was our PARTY MUSIC in my teen years!! LOVE IT!!! Such a GROOVE with the KEYS!! Manzarek was truly a driving force with The Doors!! HUGS, YA'LL!!
What a great and unique and band. In all the history of music, NOBODY sounds like the Doors. It's so laid back, has so much soul, and still rocks. The late 60's-70's music was best ever.

It may be "significant" but it still isn't enjoyable...
It’s my favorite song of theirs
👏🏼🤌🏼
Who loves it when reactors try to figure out Jim's lyrics (or the Doors in general)...it's priceless.
Another smoking Doors tune is The Wasp. (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)
I'll second that.
My favorite tune in high school, this and Five to One
The wasp is an incredible masterpiece
"I had money, and I had none
I had money, and I had none
But I never been so broke that I couldn't leave, town"
Sometimes you are up financially and sometimes you are down (broke). But you can always make a change in life (leave town)..
Jay/Amber, Their "LA Woman" and "Light My Fire"(long version) are next for you!!! BANGERS!! Classics!!
Surprised they haven't done either of these Yet! I'd vote for LA Woman!
yeah but someone MUST tell them the MR MOJO RISIN annagram of his name before they listen so they can fully appreciaite the moment
Jim was drinking heavy at this time and his voice sounded like and older man on this album and it was the last album that was made with Jim after he died in Paris about three months later after this was released ..
Peace Frog.
Blue Sunday included.
yes yes
ABSOLUTELY!!! ABSOLUTELY!!!💜🤘
My favorite as well as Five to One
OMG YES!!!!
I don't care what song the Doors do they are the ultimate of all groups! I was just entering my teens when I first heard them. My first hearing, due to having older brothers, just BLEW ME AWAY! The saddest day ever was when Jim Morrisson died! So devastating!!!! Decades later I still can't believe he's gone. I listen to the Doors ALL THE TIME over every other group!
This song is a culmination of Jim's connection to the drifters in life. The Beats like Kerouac who moved around and had to morph to survive. Jim was fascinated with hobos and transients in a romanticized version of western individualism and adventure. Trains jumpers and hitchhikers. He seemed to have felt more comfortable on skid row sometimes than in the Hollywood lights.
This was their last album. He left for France not long after the album came out. He said he was tired of being famous and just wanted to be living anonymously somewhere. He was very famous there as well though.
in folklore, a changeling is an elven child left in exchange for a stolen human infant.
LA Woman is their bluesiest, most down and dirty album What an album to end on - Jim never sounded better and all songs are gems.
Don't get me wrong, I love this album. but honestly I think Morrison's voice is not at his best by this point. I think it was getting damaged by the drugs and alcohol, and generally not taking care of it.
@@aaradia Well, if it got damaged, it got damaged in the right way for me. It's just gritty and dirty and that's fine with me. But I love your comment, everyone hears things differently and that's fine. Enjoy your day, it's getting hot here, but we're about the last to feel the heat.

They have so many different sounds, it's incredible!
The Doors forever !♥️♥️♥️♥️🎶🎼🎵
Love this song one of many favs from The Doors
Riders on the Storm scared the bejeezus out of me when I was 4-5yrs old ('70/'71) I remember hearing that song on the radio, lying in my sister's bed during a thunderstorm. Freaky!
It was a bizzare song.
i'm glad you added your age to that comment, otherwise that would be a bit more than freaky🤣🤣
Interesting that you mentioned wild child. Wild Child is a Doors song on the Soft Parade album
A standout song.

You’re right. Great song writers use double entendres masterfully.
There is no doubt, in my mind, that the Door's use of the keyboards directly inspired Iron Butterfly's psychedelic masterpiece: "In-a-Gada-da-Vida"
In the garden of Eden:)
How is it that they have never heard Iron Butterfly's "In-a-Gada-da-Vida"???
The long version of In-a-gada-da-vida not the shorter radio version.
I hear it.
Absolutely love this song and the Doors, no one reacts to this, except the "Squad"..
This is his l.a. woman voice, his voice got tougher, more bluesy, amazing thanks guys!

“ Out here in the jungle, we are stoned, immaculate.”- “The Wasp(Texas Radio and the Big Beat)” by the Doors. Another great one from a great album!
I took theatrical arts in high school. The Doors were a group I used in my musical interpretation class. I loved the Doors. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
One of their darker songs is Not To Touch The Earth. It is one of their best songs.
The Changling is one of my favorites. Love it!
Soft Parade .. by Doors..one of my favs
How can you have done so many Door’s songs and keep missing “LA Woman”??!! One of their greatest hits! The Changling??
And the End??
@@tonygreene3941 amazing song and the best opening scene song of one of the best movies ever... Apocalypse Now

This is my favorite Doors song. His soulful screams are just bone rattling
8 years before Funky Town which totally ripped this off.
A Changeling is a spirit.
I LOVE this Doors tune & will be spinning the vinyl 45 during my set in The Green Fields of this years Glastonbury Festival.
Love the channel! LA Woman next please! It's so good!
he Doors did a song called " Wild Child" :p
Ok, The Doors have been my favorite band for five decades. I’m telling you, if you want a wild Jim song, you MUST listen to
1. Not to Touch the Earth.
2. The End (This made Jim the psychedelic dude of his time)
3. When the Musics over live from the Hollywood Bowl.
You should play the Doors “Crystal Ship”. It was one of their most popular songs!
This is one of few Doors Songs with an actual bass player.
Yep 🙂
Studio recordings all had bass players. Ray played the keyboard bass in concert.
I believe this is their only album where they had a bass player for all the songs, without Ray playing it. Elvis´s bass player I believe. All the others were a combination of Ray and and a studio bass player.
All of their albums had real bass players. Most famously on their excellent debut, which featured the formidable multi-instrumentalist Larry Knechtel, who also plays piano on Simon and Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" and lead guitar on Bread's "Guitar Man".
Hands down my favorite band since I was 15 I am 47 now😊
I am a big Doors fan and have lots of their stuff mostly live and that is the real good stuff because Jim changes things on the live versions depending on if he is stoned, High or drunk
I agree that "LA Woman" and "The End" are great songs and would be excellent reaction choices , but The Doors weren't just about their hits. Their albums were full of gems. I really enjoy Jay and Amber reacting to the more eclectic tracks like this and "Moonlight Drive" and "Love Street". I would recommend "Take it as it comes" and especially "Maggie McGill" as future candidates.
Amber noticing the deeper tone and bluesy nature of Morrison"s voice is very perceptive. This was the final album that Jim did with the Doors , he left for Paris right after recording finished on LA Woman and died soon after. He was a very heavy drinker had gained a lot of weight and the years in the Rock'n'Roll lifestyle had affected his voice greatly , causing it to become much deeper and raspy. LA Woman is a very blues oriented album and Morrison comes across vocally as an old Bluesman not the 27 year old youngster he actually was.
Light my fire! 🔥 Is my favorite song by the Doors!!
Love the Doors. Definitely one of my top 5 groups of all time. All of the albums with Jim are great from the debut to L.A. Woman and every album in between. My dad was lucky enough to see the Doors twice. First time was at Varsity Stadium in Toronto in 1969. The second time was at St. Lawrence Market in Toronto in the fall of 1971 as a 3 piece with Ray on vocals. The Doors continued on for a few years and even put out a couple albums without Jim. Obviously the band was WAY better with Jim than without.
Fantastic album!! Thanks for the reaction.
Best band so underrated.
LOVE THE DOORS! Like a few others have said, I'm surprised that you haven't reacted to "Light My Fire". It was their signature song and the one that most of us heard first. I have to wonder if you reacted to it before I discovered your channel, but I don't see it when I search the archives.
The Doors Are The Best 💯
Hey all, this 74-year old brain forgot about this one, but remembered it as soon as it started playing. Music is my brain stimulant.
Yall are pretty groovy. Keep on rocking my friends. Texas. Good night Graceland. That's for the king.
I love this album...
The Doors riff on Booker T. & the MGs -- this sounds like it's heavily influenced by "Hip Hug-Her" from a few years earlier. What the Doors would have sounded like if they had recorded in Memphis for Stax.
I love The Changeling! Thanks for reacting to it!
Speaking of the Bee gees the mom was a singer and a pianist back in Australia and then when they were very young they all of the boys that were old enough to sing and play guitar and play piano they started singing and doing skiff feeling around Australia their originally from Australia they moved to England at a certain time and they got a contract at least the older brothers dance and then they moved to America the captain going back and forth to all the places that they lived great songwriters who wrote songs for other people Islands in the stream for Dolly Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers
My two favorite musical friends, jays little hippie girl
you gotta hear “love me two times live” with the poem -Texas radio and the big beat” in the chorus” And “Moonlight Drive” live with the poem horse latitudes in the chorus, l
The album this is from, and some of the previous album, was where the band went a lot more into heavy blues-rock. This was their last studio album of six. But in my opinion all six albums are great!

don't forget the dreamy songs of the doors:indian summer/crystal ship/end of the night/
blue sunday/Yes,the river knows /hyacinth house
Amber, a beautiful songstress, Angela Bofill, died on June 13 at age 70. She had two wonderful hits in 1978 and '79 - I Try and This Time I'll Be Sweeter. Maybe you could play one on Female Friday.
It's time to hear one of the best EPIC 60's song ever. Iron Butterfly's "In-a-Gada-da-Vida"! CLASSIC banger!
Jay and Amber: Since you love The Doors, how could you not have already done Light My Fire? That song is a touchstone of 60s rock. The best way to start off exploring The Doors. That needs to be the next Doors song You explore. An oversight - but that's okay. We're here for you. Love you guys.

don't forget their "dreamy" songs : crystal ship/ end of the night/ car hiss by my window/yes, the river knows /Blue sunday
It is about Jim being a rolling stone but by then he was worth millions. He also never owned a house or a car. He was never tied down by his possessions. You can be worth a billion dollars and be broke inside. He quit the Doors at this time and was unsure what he wanted to do with the rest of his life and moved to Paris and died of an overdose of heroin July 3, 1971.
So glad you two reacted to the most wicked track on the L.A. Woman album :)
Love the Doors! Have a wonderful day!
never heard that 1
It's got a groove.
This qas a four piece band. Densmore on drums, kreiger on guitar, Manserik on keyboards and of course Morrison on vocals.
The lyric is
I had money and I had none
I had money and I had none
But I never been so broke that I couldn’t leave town
Very deep cut, what we called an album track but all their songs are worth hearing. How about LA Woman, When the Music's Over or The End? All Doors epics you so need to hear. Give them a try, you will love all 3! Enjoy. 🎵🎸🎤🎹🎶
I grew into this song, always liked other songs on the album more. LA Woman, Riders On The Storm, L’America. But The Changeling is up there with them now. That fast section at the end, where you started clapping? Church!
To me, this song is about acceptance and not categorizing people. Morrison repeats that theme over and over in this song. "A little Uptown, a little Downtown, a little all around." Then again with "I had money, I had none". He goes o to tell you that you do not have to accept the bad circumstances of your life with ,"But I've never been so broke that I couldn't leave town." You can remake yourself, aka leave town. How many times have you heard rags to riches stories? Or Corporate man becomes farmer? Stay at home Mom create million dollar company?
And Jim's voice sounds different because his lifestyle was catching up to him. This album was recorded shortly before he died.

LA woman, the Changeling was Morrison’s good bye to the doors and the U.S.
Jim Morrison wandered around L.A. and stayed at a small hotel...its a museum now, with graffiti on walls by fans, "Morrison Hotel" album name, too!!!👍🏻🔥❤
Every suggestion here are good and all, but the one you should check out is in my opinion the best blues track they ever did called
'' The cars hiss by my window''. Jim's voice is the best instrument in the song.
"LIGHT MY FIRE" THE DOORS BBIGGEST HIT👍🏼❤
Yes, so many great songs . LA woman etc but I particularly love ' The Crystal Ship ' .
I agree with below, if you do "Light My Fire", it must be the long version. It is the way the song was intended to be. Probably their most well known song. This song, "Changeling", never heard it. Fun to hear though.
"L.A. Woman" from The Doors is one of their biggest songs (but yes, they had sooo many big hits). Love song to Los Angeles personified as a woman. 'Light My Fire' is also iconic.
THANKS for THIS REACTION!! :) THIS was our PARTY MUSIC in my teen years!! LOVE IT!!! Such a GROOVE with the KEYS!! Manzarek was truly a driving force with The Doors!! HUGS, YA'LL!!
