My favorite was when he was high as shit, in an interview, describing the elevator at the hotel. "It was like a... Victorian rocketship...". Lol, Jim certainly had a way with words...
mmmmmmmm.... yes, "killer on the road, his brain is squirming like a toad" it takes a true poet to pull that one out the ether of ones LSD soaked mind. But yes I like the man.
Yes. 'Neon groves refers to the endless rows of street lighting, which back then was neon lamps, and for all I know probably still is today. Nothing to with drug taking as Lex too often jumps to that conclusion. And JM's drug was alcohol, which killed him in the end (no pun intended). I don' t know about acid.
1967 Brad & Lex. Jim wrote the lyrics as a tribute to a soul food restaurant Olivia's in Venice Beach CA that he loved. Because he often stayed too late, the staff would have to kick him out, thus the lines "let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen". But as you said with poetry & metaphors, interpretation can be up to the listener.
Yes I ate there too ....cheap food and big servings. Great for the bohemian poor and artsy hippie underclass, rubbin' elbows with the semi-homeless...stumbling out stoned into the neon rain...1967..
Inspired by Olivia's, a soul food diner that was in Venice Beach and frequented by Morrison and the other Doors. During the period when Morrison write his first songs, he was temporarily homeless and lived on the roof of an apartment building in Venice, tripping frequently on LSD. The "neon grove" is the neon signs of LA -most buildings and businesses used neon lights at that time. As time goes on, some of The Doors' songs age a bit lyrically as they reveal the time in which they were written. Another example is the line "Gazing on the city under television skies" from My Eyes Have Seen You. When Morrison lived on the rooftop, he could see lots of buildings and houses with TV antennas sticking out on top, which was how people got their TV signal in those pre-cable days.
From this song, "Your fingers weave quick menarets (steeples) Speaking secret alphabets..." This song is about a place he really knows. The owner, or somebody, is deaf, speaks in sign.
all of the doors albums hit the top 5. door tribute bands are great to see and cheap in price Just to hear a guitarist imitate Robbie K is an amazing night
You might find Doors song "Not To Touch The Earth" interesting. It is a mega psychedelic song , lively heavy, and with Morrison intensely singing lyrics for part of it. A change from some of the more laid back Doors tunes.
The doors catalog is very vintage very nostalgic. Lex said it best, she said their lyrics are trippy. But their singer jim Morrison is consider one of the finest poets of the 20th century according to mag reviews. You should do riders on the storm by the doors. I'm sure you've heard snippets of that song
I think it just means company, or presence. not like actual body parts lol. Taking everything too figuratively, and literally in this channel, lol. Not everything has double meanings.
The neon grove is a euphemism for the strip. The street in town where the nightlife is. Back in the day there was a lot of neon signs on the bars, clubs, etc.... hence the term.
Fun fact. The band "X" plays a cover of this song on their first album Los Angeles. (At about twice the tempo) Doors keyboardist Ray Manczarek also produced the first 4 X albums.
This song is about a soul food restaurant in Santa Monica, CA close to where Jim Morrison lived. He would go there often and would want to stay too late and they would have to kick him out so that they could close up.
I can’t remember the name of the soul food kitchen in Venice which this song was a reference to. It was a usual hotspot for friends before heading along to the whiskey
Brad, let the music take you on a journey. Less focus and more feeling. Also, not every song is about, or influenced by drugs, just very creative people painting pictures with lyrics and sound. Lex listens to music the way it should be listened to....she lets it take her away! Some if the places she goes are quite trippy and I don't believe she's on anything. I always look forward to her wacky thoughts....so cool
Funny how “square” (old terminology) Brad is. He looks at everything so fundamentally (2+2=4. Algebra what’s that?) and sometimes he’s got it right as he did on this. It was s kitchen (Olivia’s in Venice)
If you ever wondered what it was like to be young and homeless in mid-1960s Los Angeles, this song gives the vibe. Morrison lived either couch-surfing with a few pals or on a rooftop of an apartment building in Venice Beach, his diet mostly consisting of cans of Van de Kamp beans and LSD. He wrote almost all of his most famous songs - including this one - on that rooftop.
First time I noticed the opening riff resembles the one for "When the Music's Over", which I *need* you two to do. (Preferably the NYC version from "Absolutely Live". Maybe there's a lyric video just for Brad's sake, lol.)
JIm Morrison and The Doors were a psychedelic/Rock/Blues Band. No other Band of "The Classic Rock" era (1964-about 1979) sounded like thewm. This was 1967, "The summer of Love"" Hippies, the drug scene, Flower Children. Those crazy 60s. Best music though.
Love The Doors. Great choice. I was listening to X's sonic cover of Soul Kitchen yesterday on my way to Thanksgiving dinner with extended family. Ray Manzarek (keyboardist of The Doors) loved X. He played his keyboard with X to this song (youtube has footage) and he produced three of their albums.
The Doors have such an unusual sound, no band has ever really sounded like them since. Lot of the time its the lack of a traditional Bass Guitar sound. The "Bass" is often provided by the Organ on their tracks. Specially true if you ever listen to a live performance, where there is nobody playing Bass at all (in the Studio they would sometimes bring in a Bass player for the recordings)
Used to work in a pizza/sub/taco joint as a cook many eons ago... this whole album was played often as we were closing up for the night. Get a bit high, close the doors, throw on some music and finish off the night, usually after 5am listening to the classics. Bars here close at 4am - and the after hours bar crowd looking for that late night food fix kept us busy in that final hour of the night.
Neon groves are the lights of the city. Jim was a Raving Alcoholic Sociopath. By the time this song came out he was way beyond hallucinogenics. He was a poet lost in an alcoholic daze.
"Break on Through" is another great song by Jim M, awesome lyrics ("I found a island in your arms, a country in your eyes. But arms are chains, and eyes are lies..") He was a great poet/writer. Of course his "Light My Fire" is awesome, and i love the drums/drummer.
Moonlight Drive has a nice groove to it, Soft Parade is all over the place but it's a cool song, Riders On The Storm has some great sound effects and is one of those songs you close your eyes and mellow out to. The Doors are a deep rabbit hole!
I love when any time young people hear instruments in a song they go "it sounds very old school." lmao. Yes artists used to play actual instruments in their music before computers started making all the sounds you hear.
Funny my bedroom was a kitchen or used to be one. Had a sink in my room. My friends came over we drank smoked listen to the Doors the Who Zeppelin Van Halen in my soul kitchen. They called my room soul kitchen
your lounge could be part of the neon groves . like hollywood blvd. trippin' or not , the neon signs were everywhere back then , almost a testiment to good business .
This was The Doors nod to James Brown. If you listen to Robbie Krieger's guitar parts he's actually mimicking a James Brown horn section riff on guitar. Definitely one of their most underrated songs.
My favourite Doors song! The motif is a representative swinging groove of rock music in the 60s! You need to react to "The Changeling" by the Doors from their LA Woman album!
I wasn't gonna click the Like button 'cause the song didn't do it for me, then Brad & Lex started talking about kitchens and embodiment and they got that Like! Keep up the honest entertaining reactions, you crazy kids! : )
The Doors recorded 6 albums with their label, Elektra. Before they can record 7th album, Jim Morrison died in 1971 in Paris. With short span of time, The Doors has influenced others. In 1993, The Doors were inducted into Rock Hall of Fame.
Jim Morrison...a poet and a beautiful man.... A lot of lyrics have 2 meanings or even more so you just take from it what it means to you. You can take it literally or more mystically. The Doors were a fantastic 60's band. R.I.P. Jim xx
Like all great art, it can have many meanings. You are both right. Jim lived on a rooftop for a summer, and it's not too much of a stretch to say that perhaps often, the way he might be trying to get warm, was at a lady friend's place.
ANYTHING from the Doors is a winner. 5 albums from 1967-71. You want pop? ‘Hello I Love You’ was a top 10 smash in ‘68, Morrison wrote it about a beautiful black chick he saw on the beach. Song drips with sex. But in a poetic way - he weaves his songs together with a patchwork of imagery. I can’t give the lyrics away. Gotta listen to it! It was their first recording with an 8-track system, stereophonic, like a step across the threshold into modern recording. Great separation of the sound. Love u guys~~
Brad always holds back judgement, not ready to commit quite yet. Freakin Lex is always boppin and ready to hear and feel all the optimism coming out of those headphones. I'll admit I'm closer to Brad in my reticence, but I wish I could be as willing to accept what the music is telling me and be more like Lex. Let's all abandon our cynicism and expect to be blown away. Be more like Lex!
You guys slay me. Play every song on this album you’ll be doin alright. These are some of the first versus jim wrote. He was sort of a Salvador Dali of words. He painted pictures with words.
When I was in law school a fellow student took me to Olivia's with a woman who worked as a film editor for Roger Corman. LOL. Food was pretty good, restaurant was nothing fancy. I don't think it even exists anymore; but, I went there decades ago. I think I had ribs. I thought it was in Santa Monica, could have been Venice, they are side by side.
What’s not to love about James Douglas Morrison? A lyrical genius. If you haven’t done so yet, watch the movie The Doors, Val Kilmer plays the part of Jim Morrison very well.
Door can take you a lot of places emotionally. Try 'the end' and 'LA woman' and 'light my fire' and 'crystal ship' and and and and . Well pretty much any Doors.
Soul kitchen is and still is my favorite Doors song in their large collection you guys should do Land Ho. When you listen to this song it actually feels like your on the ocean 😂🌊
The organ playing of Ray Manzarek is what stands out as a more unusual instrument - they had no bass player so he covered it with the organ. Very mid 1960s sound. Yes, there is a lot of sexual inuendo in many Doors lyrics.
Neon Groves = poetic way of saying city lights - which he was wandering after leaving the soul kitchen restaurant. Morrison was a poet - a real poet.
My favorite was when he was high as shit, in an interview, describing the elevator at the hotel. "It was like a... Victorian rocketship...". Lol, Jim certainly had a way with words...
Neon signs
mmmmmmmm.... yes, "killer on the road, his brain is squirming like a toad" it takes a true poet to pull that one out the ether of ones LSD soaked mind. But yes I like the man.
Yes. 'Neon groves refers to the endless rows of street lighting, which back then was neon lamps, and for all I know probably still is today.

Never knew this. So cool 😃
Thanks for the education..love learning these stories...66 and still learning..love it
Yes I ate there too ....cheap food and big servings. Great for the bohemian poor and artsy hippie underclass, rubbin' elbows with the semi-homeless...stumbling out stoned into the neon rain...1967..
Heroin and good food? I don’t blame him

nice post
From this song,
"Your fingers weave quick menarets (steeples)
Speaking secret alphabets..."
This song is about a place he really knows. The owner, or somebody, is deaf, speaks in sign.
I still get my TV by antenna. Screw cable.
Probably my favorite Doors tune, along with "Twentieth Century Fox" and "Hello I Love You"
Make sure ya'll also check out The Doors songs: "Hello, I Love You", "Break On Through (To The Other Side)" and "Back Door Man"
The Doors first 2 albums are great albums in general, not really a bad song on either IMO
I feel like Love me Two Times was meant for the first album just from the distinction of the two albums.
The first 2 albums are top tier absolutely top tier, in music in general
‘Learn to forget’. Jim Morrison was a poet. the Doors have a huge catalog and f great music. A unique sound like no other. good reaction, as always!!
You guys should keep going with the doors. Peace frog, the changeling, Your lost little girl, touch me, love street, are all great songs.
My lost little girl? hope she's fine
Also Five to one, Spanish caravan, Love her madly, Unknown soldier, The end, I could keep going.
When the musics over
all of the doors albums hit the top 5.
door tribute bands are great to see and cheap in price
Just to hear a guitarist imitate Robbie K is an amazing night

i think that was the first doors song they reacted to
Roadhouse Blues by the Doors is a must reaction.
✌😎
Quite a classic, it is!
I third that, do Roadhouse Blues as your next Doors reaction. Lex will love it
Jim Morrison was a great singer and probably the coolest rockstar ever.
This is a legendary band knowone can replicate. Morrison's epic vocals and their musicianship is stellar
Neon grove is wandering in the city where there are a lot of neon signs, hence the neon grove. Course, knowing Morrison, he could have been tripping,.
Like the sign behind her head.
The "neon groves" are the lights at night of all the businesses in the LA area. At least, that's how I interpret it.
Jim was a great poet. He could paint pictures with his words. If you are one of the lucky people, you would see the pictures.
You need to listen to "THE END", just to see Brads reaction! Another good one is "MOONLIGHT DRIVE ".
You guys should react to…
The Doors - Five to One
🎸🤘
My favorite…next to “Peace Frog”💜💫
Five to One, baby
One in Five
No one here gets
Out alive, now
Yes please 🙏 😍
@@frequentsee3815 - Amen and Amen 💯
Love the funky groove of this Doors song...and Robby Krieger does a great job with the solos! thx for sharing Brad & Lex :)
"In her kitchen". LOL. Lex nails it again. Her kitchen is where soul's grow!
I think it just means company, or presence. not like actual body parts lol. Taking everything too figuratively, and literally in this channel, lol. Not everything has double meanings.
@@danw3735 Jim actually told the band, when writing, to give everything a double meaning.
lol "eh... I figured he was singing about being warm in a literal kitchen"
@@danw3735apparently you don’t know much about the doors

Oregon and guitar in one ear, drums in the other ear and Jim's voice in both ears. Thumbs up, thanks.
There is an album they have called Absolutely Live, they did this song as an encore and the end of the concert.
Groovy Baby! This song sounded vintage back in the eighties too, like a very fine vintage as if wine could sing.
This song is about a soul food restaurant in Santa Monica, CA close to where Jim Morrison lived. He would go there often and would want to stay too late and they would have to kick him out so that they could close up.
I love how y'all get right into it at the start of the video. Love the channel!
"In her Kitchen..." Lex.. you had me howling with laughter! ROFL.. Brad.. Sometimes a Soul Kitchen is just a Kitchen!? LOL
I can’t remember the name of the soul food kitchen in Venice which this song was a reference to. It was a usual hotspot for friends before heading along to the whiskey

I always look forward to her wacky thoughts....so cool
As a Doors fan for 30+ years...let's be honest...
Jim has a better than average chance of being influenced by drugs in his lyrics.
I join many commenters on giving that advice... So true, and so difficult to impose on someone like Brad.
@@jdm1066 just as much chance of him being influenced by alcohol ,he was always a boozer and part time head.
Funny how “square” (old terminology) Brad is. He looks at everything so fundamentally (2+2=4. Algebra what’s that?) and sometimes he’s got it right as he did on this. It was s kitchen (Olivia’s in Venice)

Please do soft parade next u get 20 songs in one song and everything is perfect...plus it would make brads logical brain melt!!!!
First time I noticed the opening riff resembles the one for "When the Music's Over", which I *need* you two to do. (Preferably the NYC version from "Absolutely Live". Maybe there's a lyric video just for Brad's sake, lol.)
Jim Morrison was a poet, you have to understand the lyrics to understand his poetry! The music was a pleasant bonus!!!

"The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes" - LOVE that line

The X version is fantastic. Did not immediately recognize it as The Doors classic. Too fast! Too rockabilly! Too good.
It's got that Beatnik flavor to it.
Obviously mr. Morrison was reading Aldous Huxley because the doors of perception is where he got the name from and that's a book by Aldous Huxley
I was 14 when this was released those were the days! Music never dies.. ever.!
The Doors have such an unusual sound, no band has ever really sounded like them since. Lot of the time its the lack of a traditional Bass Guitar sound.

The end
It was on Venice Blvd if I remember right. Not far from Pico.
The 'soul kitchen'...where souls are born...to be set out upon this world...to live and wander...
This is off their first album. Check out "the Alabama song(Whiskey bar)". Jim Morrison was a poet, so yes his lyrics get deep.
that was some poetry - cool. Try Break on Through. short but iconic.
Neon groves are the lights of the city. Jim was a Raving Alcoholic Sociopath. By the time this song came out he was way beyond hallucinogenics. He was a poet lost in an alcoholic daze.
"Break on Through" is another great song by Jim M, awesome lyrics ("I found a island in your arms, a country in your eyes. But arms are chains, and eyes are lies..") He was a great poet/writer. Of course his "Light My Fire" is awesome, and i love the drums/drummer.
The “neon groves” are the lighted streets of Los Angeles, which used to be all orange groves way back in the day.
Ray Manzarek's keyboard playing had a very distinct sound. You can always tell his style.
Moonlight Drive has a nice groove to it, Soft Parade is all over the place but it's a cool song, Riders On The Storm has some great sound effects and is one of those songs you close your eyes and mellow out to. The Doors are a deep rabbit hole!
Drums, keys, bass, drums, we hear them all the time today
I love when any time young people hear instruments in a song they go "it sounds very old school." lmao. Yes artists used to play actual instruments in their music before computers started making all the sounds you hear.
This is the best version off ABSOLUTELY LIVE.
One of their best albums! I believe the neon lights are referring to the strip in LA?
Hey thanks guys for doing this one with the lyrics.....I've only suffered for 50 years with misheard lyrics....lol.
The neon groves are all the bars and pool halls and such. You know where the neon lights are
I've always loved this song!
I'm pretty sure "neon groves" refers to Hollywood....Sunset and Hollywood Blvds.
The soul food restaurant was Olivia's Place .... song inspired by James Brown music style style
The "neon groves" would be the neon lights and signs of 1960's L.A.
The greatness is when a song can have multiple meanings or create a variety of thoughtfulness for the listener to ponder ....
Funny my bedroom was a kitchen or used to be one. Had a sink in my room.
My friends came over we drank smoked listen to the Doors the Who Zeppelin Van Halen in my soul kitchen.
They called my room soul kitchen
I have always thought the Door's "Crystal Ship" was very underrated.
The piano on that song is so great.
your lounge could be part of the neon groves . like hollywood blvd. trippin' or not , the neon signs were everywhere back then , almost a testiment to good business .
This was The Doors nod to James Brown. If you listen to Robbie Krieger's guitar parts he's actually mimicking a James Brown horn section riff on guitar. Definitely one of their most underrated songs.
Jim was from FL, Clearwater area if I remember correctly.
My favourite Doors song! The motif is a representative swinging groove of rock music in the 60s!
You need to react to "The Changeling" by the Doors from their LA Woman album!
Very 60s LA sound. Ray Manzaerek on the organ and plays the bass line as well. Neon definitely a trippy reference.
Back in the day when these songs first came out I never tried to make sense out of them; I just went with the flow
I wasn't gonna click the Like button 'cause the song didn't do it for me, then Brad & Lex started talking about kitchens and embodiment and they got that Like! Keep up the honest entertaining reactions, you crazy kids! : )

Jim Morrison...a poet and a beautiful man.... A lot of lyrics have 2 meanings or even more so you just take from it what it means to you. You can take it literally or more mystically. The Doors were a fantastic 60's band. R.I.P. Jim xx
He gave the name Soul Kitchen to a restaurant the owner use to let him stay after hours for awhile.
The End, Break On Through, Not to Touch the Earth, When the Musics Over
I saw them do this album live... I was 16 at the time. RIP Jim.
The neon grove could be referring to the city of L.A. where the were kind of based out of.
Such a lyrical genius
15 year old when this came out - my favorite song!
Peace Frog, the most infectious groove by Robby
Like all great art, it can have many meanings. You are both right. Jim lived on a rooftop for a summer, and it's not too much of a stretch to say that perhaps often, the way he might be trying to get warm, was at a lady friend's place.

The Door's were a unique band !!!
Also gotta get to Touch Me, Five to One, and my favorite, Love Me Two Times
Brad always holds back judgement, not ready to commit quite yet. Freakin Lex is always boppin and ready to hear and feel all the optimism

on the thanksgiving live stream, I typed this song about 20 times.
I love the Doors....what you guys are missing is their best song..."Riders on the Storm"!!!!
That's not even the best song on the LA Woman album
Roadhouse blues
Moonlight Drive
@@pulsarlights2825 I respectfully disagree!
Crystal ship
When I was in law school a fellow student took me to Olivia's with a woman who worked as a film editor for Roger Corman. LOL. Food was pretty good, restaurant was nothing fancy. I don't think it even exists anymore; but, I went there decades ago. I think I had ribs. I thought it was in Santa Monica, could have been Venice, they are side by side.
What’s not to love about James Douglas Morrison?

If you haven’t done so yet, watch the movie The Doors, Val Kilmer plays the part of Jim Morrison very well.
Door can take you a lot of places emotionally. Try 'the end' and 'LA woman' and 'light my fire' and 'crystal ship' and and and and . Well pretty much any Doors.
Soul kitchen is and still is my favorite Doors song in their large collection you guys should do Land Ho. When you listen to this song it actually feels like your on the ocean 😂🌊
....it's right up there for me, too. And 'Take it as it comes'
The doors just oozes originality
The neon groves are probably the streets. Peace frog off the same album is a upbeat song you will enjoy
The organ playing of Ray Manzarek is what stands out as a more unusual instrument - they had no bass player so he covered it with the organ. Very mid 1960s sound. Yes, there is a lot of sexual inuendo in many Doors lyrics.
You gotta do BACK DOOR MAN & BREAK ON THROUGH next. Same album. Then you should be ready for their epic masterpiece THE END. 🔥🔥🔥
Check out "The Crystal Ship". Watch the performance from "American Bandstand". :)
Try “Texas Radio and the Big Beat” one of my favourites by The Doors.
The song about Olivia’s Kitchen a restaurant Morrison hug out at early on
