This song is a Masterpiece. I recognized it at age 13 when I first heard it...and now, 52 years later hearing it again just confirms I was right
Morrison was one of the best writers and poets ever. And God, was that man beautiful!
This song is the perfect blend of of blues, rock and jazz. Jim's voice was deep and the music was deep as well.
I suggest their first hit song, Light My Fire. It spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (in July 29, August 5 and August 12, 1967). The Doors were invited to sing this hit on the Ed Sullivan show, the top variety TV show of its day. Jim Morrison was advised to change the lyrics (girl we couldn't get much higher). The Doors management agreed because an appearance on Ed Sullivan was a game changer especially for a new band like the Doors. (The Beatles first American appearance was on Ed Sullivan). When The Doors performed Light My Fire on LIVE TV, Morrison leaned into the camera and sang, Girl We Couldn't get much higher. As a result, The Doors were banned from the Ed Sullivan show. It didn't hurt their career.
Morrison was a rebel and lived a hard life. Their concerts were crazy. I suggest the studio version of Light My Fire and avoid the AM radio hit, which was shortened by eliminating delicious instrumental sections that appear on the album, (longer) version.
The show's producer came to their dressing room after the performance and told them they'd appear on the Ed Sullivan Show again. Jim replied, "Man, we've already done the Sullivan Show."

The infamous banning occurred after a producer from the show asked the band to change a lyric in “Light My Fire” 'Girl we couldn't get much higher' to something else. After all, this is a family show and you can't say “higher” on television.Sep 17, 2017
While I agree for a new listener "Light My Fire" is a good listen to it's so overplayed. It's like suggesting to someone who has never heard Led Zeppelin to listen to "Stairway to Heaven". Nothing wrong with either song but both bands had greater songs once you start to delve deep into their music. I personally wouldn't put "Light My Fire" in my top 30 greatest Doors songs.
@@markastoforoff7838 How is a song "overplayed" to someone who has never heard it? And although a deep dive may turn up subjectively better music, Sal's trying to pull an audience here and realistically more people are going to click to see him react to something they already know than something they'd also be hearing for the first time. The more people who wonder how the hell this guy hasn't heard this popular song yet, the better on this platform; deep dives and other niche stuff are for patreon.
I second that. And then LA Woman.
Ray Manzarek killed it on the keys on this song. That with Jim’s voice. Great song. Ray did an interesting video about recording this song.
No one got more from the Hammond B3 than Ray. There's a local (Houston) psychedelic band that also squeezed every drop from the B3. FEVER TREE. If you play the first 2 tracks from their self-titled first album straight through (as one song), it demonstrates their unique style. Headphones are definitely recommended. "Imitation Situation 1 (Toccata and Fugue) / Where Do You Go?"
Great song! The Doors were among the most controversial & influential rock acts of the 60's, mostly due to Jim Morrison's lyrics & voice. They had a lot of great songs such as "Love Me Two Times", "Roadhouse Blues", "The End", "Break On Through (To The Other Side)", "People Are Strange", "Light My Fire", "L.A. Woman", "Hello, I Love You", "Touch Me", "The Unknown Soldier", "Love Her Madly". Sadly Jim Morrison died in 1971 at the age of only 27 but left a great legacy of music.
Hey, Dagmar!! My favorite is "People Are Strange". Short & bittersweet & full of angst.
@@rebeccalipps23 I love every single song Dagmar listed but People are Strange is in my top 5.
About a serial killer terrorizing so. Cal highways early 70's
They didn't have a bass player, except when recording in the studio. Also, Morrison died from a heart attack in a Parisian bathtub. His girlfriend was a heroin addict, and convinced Jim to have some. It was in his system as well as alcohol from the autopsy.
The Doors "LIGHT MY FIRE" 🔥🔥
LA Woman
Can not imagine hearing the Doors for the first time
Worth a DEEP dive the Doors catalogue is amazing 🤩 I have been listening since I was a teenager I’m 55 now, they are magical
Morrison's voice is haunting. Light My Fire has a killer organ solo.
They really put that Whirlitzer Organ to use in their music! 💖
Light My Fire is a masterpiece.
This song proved they were ahead of their time. Still plays to this day.
Still one of my all time faves, I am 61 now and it's been giving me the best chills all these decades!
For a group without an actual bass player, they sure made good use of bass guitars!
That was Ray on a synthesizer . . . . . They sometimes used a session bassist in the studio.
@@wesalker3479 - Yep, saw them in Boston shortly after Light My Fire came out. The winner that night was the opening act though. Linda Ronstadt and The Stone Ponyes.
They hired Jerry Scheff Elvis Presley's bass player for the sessions on this album and it was a great addition. Ray Manzarek is was a musical genius he knew more about music history and incorporated all of that knowledge into his playing.
You're right, they can easily put you in a trance. You have to hear LA Woman
And Love Her Madly.
So many songs by the Doors, all are dark and deep. As noted below, Crystal Ship is amazing, Light My Fire is legendary, Moonlight Drive is a favorite of mine. People Are Strange, Love Me Two Times, The End, I can go on and on.
Light My Fire is my favorite from The Doors.
Back in the day we would drop acid then listen to the doors 😅❤❤❤
I still get goosebumps every time I hear this song.
The Doors are one of the best groups to come from the 60s. Definitely need to go down the rabbit hole with them.
As you can hear, the late 60s-early 70s rock music is completely different from the early 60s. A huge maturation occurred around '65-'67. I'd classify this as psychedelic blues rock.
Doors albums are a great groove. A huge proportion of the songs are excellent, even if not always hit-worthy. You'll be singing them in the shower.
This song was an instant classic the moment it was released. Haunting. Magical. Atmospheric, as you said.
The Doors have a huge catalog of great songs, many of which are very different from one another. "LA Woman" or "Roadhouse Blues" are just two of their other classic songs that have a different vibe than this spooky masterpiece. ❤✌
Riders ON the Storm!!
This one is incredibly atmospheric. They also have upbeat rocking songs and really blues based songs...just a great range of incredible music made by the Doors.
A great choice and it's one of best bands and songs from the 60s and being speechless is understandable. This is what you get when you combine 3 uber talented musicians and an avant garde poet. The hypnotic melodic rhythm and bass define the era’s psychedelic sound that you get lost in. It still hasn't aged in all these years and feels fresh.
This is an all time favorite of mine to listen too. Like to toss it on when it rains and crank it up and dance around the house. The whisper track makes it for me. This song is killer.
1983, a 1972 Chevelle Malibu (muscle Car) on a highway in a thunderstorm, 100 mph, dodging toads, listening to this.
Jim Morrison is one of the tragic "27 Club" along with Janis Joplin & Jimi Hendrix (among others).
Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse being the most recent two club members. :(
This is my FAVORITE Doors song. They did such a great job composing this song. Thank you Salvo!!
Mine too.
Same here
Morrison's big voice and Manzarek's legendary keyboard work makes this song excellent. It never sounds old and gives the most incredible feeling.
Agree, and I want to add that the drum fills really add a lot. Not sure how he got that sound but it's excellent here.
One of the Doors best, if not THE best!
Some credit too to whoever put on a raincoat and went out with a reel-to-reel tape recorder to capture those storm sounds -- probably Ray Manzarek. No samples were being downloaded with a few clicks back then.
The rainstorm was Ray. There is a video where he showed how he created the sound on his organ. A documentary if I remember right.
Cool! Thanks. @@dutovdevlich3781
Morrison was a poet, prior to his death, Morrison self-published three limited-edition volumes of his poetry: The Lords/Notes on Vision (1969), The New Creatures (1969), and An American Prayer (1970). Simon & Schuster published the combined The Lords and the New Creatures in 1970.
Morrison put a whisper track over the regular vocals. Listen closely.
It is in my opinion that now you have opened the door to The Doors we your audience will be treated to weekly if not a daily feast of Doors reactions until you've completed the whole menu. I also predict that you yourself will dive very deep into world of The Doors. A sweet treat is the movie starring Val Kilmer. Try finding long plays of most songs you will enjoy the mesmerizing instruments.
Sacrilege...Kilmer is a buffoon in the film. Jim was nothing like that...for fucks sake he was JDM intelligent and cool.
“There’s a killer on the road, his brain is squirming like a toad.”
Creepiest lyric ever 😂
Followed up with "if you give this man a ride, sweet family will die..." omg
It's one of my favorite lyrics. I'm a true crime fan so what does that say about me? 😆
@@jimralston7562 .... the greatness of morrison lyrics when they were good (as here) is it sets up simultaneous layered meaning wh/ dovetails into a larger theme.... on one level, the lyrics you referenced are a literal dark tale of a dangerous drifter roaming outside the city in the desert, who is merciless & violent. a predator who will take life to get what it needs both for craven reasons & for property theft. this beast roams outside the safety of a city as law abiding family inhabitants drive by.... yet, on another level the hitcher is a metaphor. wh/ in turn scales the meaning up to the collective & the culture itself. in that context, the road becomes Time. the car, the culture's station in the present moving thru time. the hitcher, evil temptation of choice. the storm, cultural unrest & strife (kent state, nam, riots, heroin plague etc during time of this song). the choice: to either pick up & indulge the hitcher or drive on beyond it & weather thru the storm. culture's fork in the road in '70 & cylically like a storm reoccurring again in times of strife like now. jim as he left to go to paris gives his good bye to the culture he loved in this poem and song. a warning, but also an option of hope. its prophetic. b/c by '72-'75, in many ways the nation lost its way & some fell apart (as shown by the character Jenny in forest gump book/movie). they in a sense picked up the hitcher. while others, endured, healed, steered away from the hitcher, weathered the storm and found love & built families.... in that context, its a masterpiece & was spot on re the fork in the road the culture was in at that time. & like a storm, its cyclical & could be applied to the present time. thats the power of well written, large arc theme poetry. quite a good bye gift from morrison.
@@jimralston7562sweet Emily will die. Jim got freaked out after a girl got killed in Cali. Look it up . Creepy! I think it messed him up a bit.
@@jimralston7562sweet Emily will die. There was a killer in Calif. creeped Jim out.
Not just a song, it's an experience ;-)
Ray Manzarek is a genius on the keys and just quietly he has possibly the greatest radio voice i've ever heard. If you ever get the opportunity to listen to him in an interview, you will be blown away by how good his talking voice sounds.
You really need to do a deep dive into the doors. They were amazing!! Roadhouse blues , peace frog-blue sunday, touch me, waiting for the sun, and on and on. They only get better. I have been following you for a year and I know the types of music you find particularly interesting. Jim Morrison was a rock god.
Love this song, The Doors are known as Psychedelic music. Listened to these guys since the 80's. Check out: Light My Fire, The End, L.A. Woman, People Are Strange, Love Me Two Times, Break On Through (To The Other Side), Thanks for sharing!
It's pure joy. I must have listened at least 1500 times and the magic never wears off.
"The End" Off Their First Album....EPIC!
1 of the greatest cult bands ever. You need to listen to LIGHT MY FIRE. 1 of the best songs of his. ❤❤
Jim's voice is a masterpiece. He could croon with the best of them, he could croon, sing a love ballad or do out and out rock n roll. The 27 club........sigh!
The other worldly Doors.Best rock band ever.Morrison the charasmatic front man with that voice backed by the incredible musicianship of Kreiger Manzarek and Densmore.Unreal
My song, so glad you enjoyed it! So glad you appreciated Manzarik
What a buffet a sounds to fill up our souls! Yummy!
Salvo, we know when you're quiet, you're...encapsulated. I Soooooo enjoyed watching you appreciate a tune I grew up with! Thanks for the great channel bud. Keep 'em coming!!
There's nothing like the Doors. You gotta experience more of their catalog. It's a wasted life if you don't.
My favorite from The Doors! It's not just a song, it's a mood! You got lost in the sauce! You should watch the movie! Val Kilmer does an amazing job playing Jim!
My local Philly rock station would play this every time we had thunderstorms. Brings me back to my first apartment. 😃😃
Oh yes I have listened to this tune so many times in my life Wait till you get deeper into the doors It just is so captivating sometimes to just put on the first tune of the album go especially that first LP...
L.A woman is a fantastic album I can't wait to you go deeper into it It has fantastic production qualities to it They did a great job on the mix and it just rocks
Please also consider the LP soft parade that absolutely has to be my favorite I've played it so many times in my life fantastic little piece of work that a lot of people think is two commercialized if you're a deep doors fan but I just like it
The perfect song to listen to on a rainy day anywhere.
I first heard this on Radio Luxembourg as a 15 year old in 1971. It was an instant love for me, and I still listen to it today. It's simply wonderful, so atmospheric and mesmerising. That electric piano, the bass, thunder and rain (and Jim's voice)! This is one of America's finest pieces of music.
(BTW, I wrote this before your end summarising and I'm surprised at how similar our descriptions ended up being!).
Original 60’s psychedelic rock! Nothing looked better than Jim Morrison in leather pants! Good times! Thanks
Hearing it when it first came out on the radio was a real treat, as were each repeated listening, even now. And yes, atmospheric as all get-out. It was already a haunting song, but after he died, it was imbued with another skin of hauntingness, heretofore unrivaled in the popular music universe. Watching another experience it the first time, while enjoying it again, is yet another layer of enjoyment. Grazie!
When the Doors lst came out in the 60s. We loved them them. It was a true story about family got killed picking up a hitchhiker
It's an immersive feeling listening to this song!
ah the Doors !! yes yes day made :) If you liked the atmosphere of this song you would love "Crystal ship " my favorite vocal track of them . I delved deep into all aspects of the doors and was just in awe all the way. Thank you so much :)
Crystal Ship is incredible, so so dark!
Go back and listen, and focus on the vocals. He double-tracked the vocals, but one of the tracks was a WHISPER. It adds to the tenseness of the song, even though it's subtle.
More The Doors please. Huge range of music and talent with this iconic group. Many hits to pick from, you cant really go wrong.
My older sister used to take my son on road trips back in the 90’s and she played The Doors nonstop. My son who is now mid thirties knows all their songs by heart. Nowadays his Gen listens to Japanese and Korean animae stuff. But yup he knows his Doors and CCR & Stones.
One of my Doors favourite is Road House Blues ❤ It’s epic. The best verse: ‘The futures uncertain and the end is always near. Let it roll baby roll.’
Lol, Salvo is such an enigma to me…
On the one hand, he’s one of the most appreciative, sensitive and attuned reaction channels to the lyrics and mood and overall depth of a song, yet it seems like he was literally born yesterday. Not only has he never heard any of the songs, not even their most famous, but knows absolutely nothing about Jim Morrison or “The Doors” movie or so many huge cultural references (just recently first heard the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive”!). This goes with most of the other huge bands, artists, and super groups as well.
I wonder if he came out of an experimental program where they had a baby underground and saw how he could live without contact with the outside world for 30 years. 🤔
…also, on a sidenote, his demeanor reminds me of a very young James Gandolfini.
That was magical, wasn't it. That's how I feel every time I hear it.
This song by the doors is "hypnotic and transcending'....
Every Doors song deserves a reaction.
YAY! I suggested the album specifically so you could hear this song. I've loved it since I was a little kid. I'm talking 10 years old because my 18 year old brother played it constantly. What you're experiencing is called an 'eargasm'. 😁
Great suggest !
The Doors!!!! YESSSSS!! More of The Doors please! I suggest, Light my Fire! Love Jim’s voice!
✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻
I fell in love with this song immediately. sometime in the 1980s is probably when i first heard this.
I have this song on my iTunes as my alarm clock song, thoroughly recommend it! Absolute masterpiece.
Thank u for covering this song, their music is a feast for the ears and the soul lol. Thanks to my dad I was introduced to amazing groups. The doors is a worm hole u may want to lose urself. Eminem also lol.
This is over 55 years old! Sounds great! When they came out in 1967, I was not sure their music would stand the test of time, but it definitely has.
Hey brother, your expression at 7:14 says it all! That's enjoyment! I'm 62, so I grew up with this music. As for your expression, I'm lov'in it! (sorry McDonalds). Keep'em com'in bro!!
The End , Peace Frog , Whiskey Bar , Light My Fire , Roadhouse Blues , and so many more.
.not enough suggest Peace Frog - don't really know why
masterpiece
The best of the best of the Doors:
Break on through (to the other side).
Light my fire.
When the music's over.
Hello, I love you.
Roadhouse blues.
LA Woman.
Riders on the storm.
Love her madly.
The end.
My fave Doors song, & one of my all-time faves - period. Many yrs. ago, a hurricane struck our region, where they are extremely rare. At the height of the storm, our local Classic Rock radio station rolled out this song. Perfect! Thanks for your reaction.
My favorite band. Love there sound.
Great reaction! The whole "L.A. Woman" album, by the way, is just as great as the track you listened to. It's a total banger, well worth taking in to get the entire brilliant Doors experience.
I was a small child when the Doors came out, so I kind of missed this until I was much older. But I fell totally into this band. Jim Morrison is a God amongst men; as far as writing goes. I'm a huge fan for many years. I'm glad you likewise this song. I hope you drive into more soon
When the Music's Over is the quintessential 60s song to me.
I picked this on a 45 when it was first released. I never stopped loving Riders On The Storm, snd I still have the 45.
"Love Her Madly" is a great song by the Doors but my favorite is "Roadhouse Blues"...and "Touch Me"...oh they're all good!
My favourite Doors track from day 1. Trance-sending. 🤘🏻
This is my all-time favorite!
Please continue down this rabbit hole. The Doors do not disappoint ❤
My favorite Doors song, followed by L.A. WOMAN. So cool when this came on the radio during a Road Trip while it was raining!
Sometimes, the best reactions are those silent ones!! You should check out their live concert at The Hollywood Bowl. It's available on RUclips. Stay safe 🤘 ✌️
I suggest listening to this song on stereo if you can and no headphones, with lights down low, with your favorite beverage in hand. Raises the enjoyment of listening to the Doors and this song to a whole new level.
Or smoke a fat one. Turn off the lights and just chill. May i suggest some Pink Floyd?
It's a wonderful dreamy song... Now you definitely have to listen to 'L.A. Woman', a whole different side of Jim Morrison's vocal skills (and killer bluesy keyboard)
You are the man!
They have a unique sound. LA Woman and Roadhouse Blues are my favorites but they have many songs to choose from.
It's basically exquisite. Manzarek's playing on this is the standout for sure.
LA Woman has got to come next. Or Light My Fire. And When the Musics Over is, I don't know, like pure Doors. Like the Doorsest song they made. Great reaction. More classic rock please. It's classic for good reasons.
The whole album is worth a listen. One of my very favorites and one of the few rock albums in my collection.
The Doors are amazing
That whispering at the end, like Jim Morrison snuck into the studio after several whiskeys and hooked up the mic and just started a "soft parade," if you will, of the chorus. Eerie, poetic, and JIM!
Aaaaaahhhh...total relaxation. You must do LA Woman and something live to see Jim in action.
Riders On The Storm & Roadhouse Blue’s are my absolute fave Doors songs! 🎶❤️
Mister Mo-Jo Risen! Perfect reaction. Thanks for diggin' those of us who lived through this's music!
Best song off the album was “L.A.Woman”. My fave Doors tune. More upbeat, but has the same production vibe. Big timeless classic rock hit.
