This song just reminds me of my younger days, post millennium, so many great songs, music. Now, almost a quarter of a century on, here i am ,older, recovering from a heart attack, still loving life, still loving this sing, but missing my youth and how immortal you felt when you were younger.
Sad to hear that you faced health issues. I'm happy to hear that you still enjoy this song. I'm a middle-aged man who started motorcycling this summer. I enjoy the song and try to get the best out of me RE (Royal Enfield) with this song in my head 🙂 I know what you mean by being immortal in younger years. It is part of this lifelong arcade game( I guess). Sorry about the bad English, all good to you.
I battled mental issues in my youth. I beat them. The health issues I now have with age are a joke in comparison. Guess you have to work with what you have.
Exactly my men , high school and a lot of new wawes to the brain and maximum feelings- this is my world, yessss this is only my world now and nothing else now 38 years old and still love this era with fantastick memories brother

Same in 2023, the only difference from last year is massive deleting of anti-war or USA posts. This is anti-war song so i expect they will delete mine too. USA must go home and stay there forever and ever like dB sings in a song about the Eastern Germany.

Sometimes it’s not the same when you see the video.I am 57 and never watched any video's just out clubbing every weekend.Now to see videos of songs that I have loved for nearly 40 years changes things apart from Talk Talk Such a shame,brilliant video.
And i never went to any concerts becos the speakers are not chosen by me and they are too loud anyway and there is too many people around who i dont know so how tf can i concentrate on enjoying the music yet ive watched music videos for as long as i ever learned to stand in front of tv and speakers
I remember being a small boy when this come out and my dad being completely in love with this song and singing it all the time! Millennium nostalgia is real with this one!
Jesus you're Dad is prob my age like mid-40s? I'd play this driving around about 18 yrs ago, mostly because like many Gen X'ers we loved Jim Morrison: thanks to that Doors movie w/ Val Kilmer back in the 90's
Oh boy! Can't agree more with you! I first heard that composition back in the late 90's and early 00's when MTV started broadcasting in Russia. Back in those days I took black and white tv on the balcony where did I catch the MTV channel and I still remember this masterpiece
No matter what connotation you give the word, flying is totally exhilarating, and I can't think of any other song/music which captures that exhilaration so completely.
During the late 90s and early 2000's, FatBoy Slim was just cranking hit after hit - Ya Mama, Weapon of Choice, Star 69, Praise You, Rockafeller Skank... what an awesome time it was to be a teenager!
The original version of this poem is found on the album "An American Prayer" by Jim Morrison (from The Doors). He was awesome at writing and reciting poetry, but personally, I think FatBoy Slim has given it a great final touch =)
You've nailed it right there. Jim Morrison got upgraded to the 21st century by Fat boy Slim. I was wandering around at Glastonbury and there he was at this small bar; blink and you'd miss it. Guess who was on the decks? Fat Boy Slim. Man I was blown away. It was like 50-60 of us and this genius (and I don't use that word lightly). Was there owning it. You'd think he was playing for 10,000 people, not just us. That was a moment man. It was the year that Dolly Parton kicked ass to hundreds of thousands of people. 2014 I think.
Scales of promo videos they made back then never stop amazing me. No matter whether it was Fatboy Slim or Metallica, almost every new promo released at the turn of the millennium was a literary mini-movie with a Holywood-size budget, top acting, catchy screenplay, superb visual effects, etc. Gosh... How I miss that times!
true. Back then, video clips were like minifilms, and they were shot by directors. Almost every clip had an idea. Now the clips are a pale shadow of what was filmed in the 90s-00s.
To capture the incredible vocals of Jim Morrison on An American Prayer and to make it your own in the 21st century and a hit with incredible music is mind-blowing!
I first saw this as a kid. All I remembered was that it had a jet pilot in it. I just didn't understand what it was about until re-watching it as an adult now. In 1964, the time that the world got the closest to widespread nuclear war, the pilot is thinking about that anti-nuke campaign ad. And he has a hallucination / nightmare about being asked to start nuclear Armageddon , when he goes AWOL, possibly as a reaction to real life memories of bombing campaigns in southeast Asia. It's an anti-war video. I was too young to understand that plot as a kid! It's not just pretty visuals, it's a brilliant short film!

When I was a kid this song came on the national music tv channel. I was completely in love with the music an the video. It has been about 20 years since I heard it for the last time. This morning TH-cam recommended it and I was more than surprised. So many years and It was that feeling when you get the goosebumps. Much older and cultured I recognized an emblematic aircraft and following Jim Morrison's words felt that message in the video. Feels like I accomplished something. Favorite song. Straight in the heart! ❤
When I was younger I thought it was just a nice video on a nice track. But now I rewatch it and I don't understand how the hell they made this absolutely awesome video? It also contains such a strong antiwar position, but it is only because of the perfect video edition! Brilliant!
@Tony Layfield When I served in the IAF, there were some old fighter jets on display on plinths, one was a Meteor. Although we were operating the most advanced US had to offer, I always respected the bases history as an RAF WW2 aerodrome, and the first gen. jet fighters sold to Israel. This video always touched a nerve with me. p.s. Almost all the HAS, and barraks still in use were built by the RAF in WW2, was like living in a time capsule.
Remember this on mtv, 2000. i was only 13th years old... life just began. Now, almost 38 yrs old, have wife, daughter... Listening only masterpieces of the past like this one.

For those interested in aviation; this is a Royal Navy two-seat Hawker Hunter T.8 trainer fitted with an arrestor hook painted in USAF livery.
Re the ejection sequence was it real if so how done?

Physics n stuff.
The conflict in the pilots mind, the exhilaration of flight, the reality of his mission. True audio/visual treat
Then the freedom of BAILING OUT! Whaaayyyhhh!
Still my favorite track by Fatboy Slim. Captures the spirit of human aspiration.
But Jim Morrison is that singing. He is the Lyrist

This is why music exists: to take you to another world when you listen to it.
Questo è il perchè la musica esiste .... per portarti in un altro mondo quando la ascolti
