Y'all gotta listen to "The End," and you can spend the rest of the day studying and reading commentary as to the meaning. It is absolutely bone chillingly haunting.
This was the song lyric that Jim recited to Ray on Venice beach which got Ray excited to form a band with Jim. The lyrics have a lot of symbolism in them, but are mainly about a moonlight tryst on the beach. Robby used a slide on his guitar for that "watery" sound to go with the theme. He has the best scream in rock (personal opinion)....plus L.A. Woman by them needs to be next up!
I love me some Jim Morrison but I personally think Black Francis has the best scream in rock especially when he sings Tame live. However, Jim is still up there though.
Congratulations on your 3 year anniversary. I'm glad The Doors are in your top 20, for me they're in my top 5. I say this every time you do a Doors reaction, but I can't believe you still haven't listened to Light My Fire, it's probably their most well known song and has fantastic vocals and an amazing solo. Wishing you both well and sending peace.
This song is so special. Jim and Ray met due to them both attending the UCLA film school together. One day, they ran into each other on Venice Beach, they got to talking, and Jim told Ray he'd been writing songs. Ray asked him to sing one for him, and Jim sang Moonlight Drive. Jim singing this song is what made Ray want to start a band and make music with Jim. 🚪❤
Supposedly, a version of these lyrics are the words that Ray read, one afternoon, sitting on Venice Beach, which made him say: Let's start a band... to Jim. [That's the legend, anyway.]
Visited Paris' Pere Lachaise Cemetery in 2012. Those many years after his death, people were living flowers and tributes at Morrison's grave. There was even a young couple at his graveside weeping. Really blew my mind frankly. His music touched so many. The cemetery, by the way, is very interesting; full of notable people and amazing headstone, grave markers, etc. Highly recommend visiting.
The up and down sound that you did not know what it was was Robby Kreiger on bottle neck slide guitar. Played with an actual neck to a glass bottle. This was the first time Jim Morrison had ever heard the slide guitar and wanted it in all of their songs.
It's a psychedelic swim to the moon! Ray Manzarek said in interviews that when Morrison approached him about starting a band, Moonlight Drive was the first song Morrison sang to him.
This song is played in a party scene toward the end of the movie Less than Zero. That’s where I first heard it and it’s been my favorite Doors song ever since.
It's an acid love song, a hallucinatory journey in the form of a beachgoing date. Jim's impetus to become a singer was an acid (LSD) trip he experienced where he took part in an entire concert in his head. The songs he heard in that otherworldly space became the first Doors album, and part of the second. This song is the one that convinced Ray Manzarek that the Doors could be a thing; Jim sang it to him on the beach one day, and Ray was blown away by the "psychedelic love song". And the rest is history.
Oh yeah and The Doors are unquestionably in the top 20 bands of all time. For me, they're top five. Every member of this band was talented and stood out from the pack in a unique way. Krieger, Densmore, Manzarek - all talented musicians. Morrison was the voice, the poet, the interpreter - sure, he was the face of the band but the Doors without Jim or Jim without "the other voices" wouldn't have the magic of the four together. From my recollection of The Doors history, this song was one of Jim's earliest and the story goes that he sang it to Ray Manzarek sometime after the two had left film school. Ray was in a band that was going nowhere and the spooky lyrics of this song inspired him to come up with appropriate music to accompany them. While not their best work, this song was arguably the seed that started the band itself. Another fun fact: The song was recorded for their first album but was left off that album. A different version of the recording made the cut for their second album (Strange Days).
Such a cool song that was written by Jim Morrison as he gazed at the view from his rooftop @ Venice Beach. He wrote this as a poem even before The Doors were formed. "Jim Morrison recited this as a poem to Ray Manzarek when they ran into each other on a beach in Southern California in 1965. Manzarek, who knew Morrison from UCLA film school, thought it was great and convinced him to form a band". Thanks for the awesome review as always Rob Squad :)
The moon’s reflection on the water, swim out to it, or climb to it through the tide, just the thoughts of stopping by the ocean with your love on a moonlight drive and getting lost in the moment
This was one of the first handful of songs that Jim Morrison wrote while living on the rooftop of a friend's apartment in Venice CA and tripping on LSD in the summer of 1965. He ran into his old UCLA film school friend Ray Manzarek soon after at Venice Beach and told him that he'd been writing songs. Ray asked to hear one, and Jim sat on the beach and sang Moonlight Drive to him, without any accompaniment. Ray immediately said, "Those are the best f#%&ing song lyrics I've ever heard in my life! Let's start a rock & roll band and make a million dollars!" The song went through many changes in arrangement and style, appearing on the band's first acetate demo in 1965 (available on RUclips) in a blues-oriented arrangement, and was also an out-take from the sessions for the first album. It finally took shape in time for their second album. There's also a great live version with Ray playing organ instead of piano, in which they include Jim's poem Horse Latitudes in the middle of the song.
Yes, all of us Doors fans from the 60"s stay Doors fans till we pass through the next Door ! its great that this amazing band has been found by another generation to enjoy ! (Roll Baby Roll)
Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison first met in U.C.L.A. film school. After they'd gotten out and went their own ways they met again on the beach at Venice California. Jim told Ray he was writing songs and when Ray asked to hear some, Morrison sang "Moonlight Drive" That got Manzarek started on forming a band with Morrison. This was also the song Robby Kreiger first played with them when he auditioned. Robby's slide guitar playing was the clincher in his getting in the band.
No other band does dark and trippy like the Doors! Loved your reaction to this classic. It was actually the first song Jim Morrison wrote for the Doors. He sang it to keyboardist on the beach in Venice after they graduated from UCLA.
Hi you guys! Happy easter! I just came to say that i love your channel, happy channelversary!!! Youve been a part of my everyday life for years now, since before Amber was added to the reactions full Time. Thank you for bringing so much joy and músic to my days. You are a beautiful and positive family. I also wanted to say that ITS been too long since you reacted to my girl Tori amos. Youve watched videoclip of her songs, but now you.need the live experience. I recommend you find the song "winter" the live at montreaux 91 92 versión with the blue outfit. It Will blow your minds. Jay Will enjoy the piano and Amber Will be very moved by the lyrics. I know and i promise that.
Such a doors reaction. The girl feeling joy, the man thinking about the song. This was their demo song, they have a bunch of versions. This is the doors at their youngest in a way. The intention was magic, and I think they have done it.
Great, love your reaciton. Definitely an understated classic from the Doors' Love the way it transitions from light to the dark with we're 'going to drown' tonight...
A little bizarre, even for the Doors!! It suddenly hit me in the middle of the song...that Jim and the Doors must have been a huge influence on David Byrne and Talking Heads!! Both can be very bizarre and quirky!!
The Doors' signature touch of darkness is definitely here. Note the somewhat thrown away line near the end of the song, "baby, gonna drown tonight", suggesting this romantic drive for a moonlight swim has suicidal implications...
Happy RUclips anniversary, you guys. Your videos have introduced me to a song or two as well, so many thanks for that! I'm familiar with this song via Val Kilmer's acapella rendition in the "Doors" movie. I'd like to suggest, one more time, that you two check out the video of Christina Aguilera performing "You Lost Me" live on David Letterman back in 2010. Very emotional performance that stirs feelings in me whenever I see it. Thanks again for bringing obscure tunes to people like me.
..if I'd have to distill the 60s down to 3 absolute crucial musicians / bands, it would be the Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Doors - they were the giants among many, many fantastic gigs! Listen to 'Light my fire' soon - that is such a genius piece of musical art - you can't really judge the Doors as long as you haven't listened to this... (its like contemplating the Beatles, and not having yet come across 'Hey Jude') 💖
Yesss, let's swim to the moon. There were a lot of metaphorical and allegorical lyrics in this song that I almost drowned. And sometimes the moonlight feels so limpid one could swim in it. Liked the chair dancing. Thanks for playing this. Took me back to when I was a lot younger than now. Keep up the explorations in music.
"Penetrate the evening that the city sleeps to hide" from this song, Moonlight Drive....those were the first lyrics that Jim presented to Ray Manzarek when they met on Venice beach in 1965. Ray knew right then and there that he wanted to form a band with Jim.
This song is about the car being driven into the water at night, so swimming to the moon as in from outta the water, same with climbing thru the tide. But he can't help guide you out, even tho he loves you, so you drown. This is one of their handful of songs that got banned, including "The Unknown Soldier"
In california the sun sets in the west, across the ocean view....jim was so high he wrote song where he thought he could literally swim to the horizon.... "lets swim to the moon" as it rose above the horizon after the sun had set.
Moonlight Drive is a poem Jim wrote way before the doors came to be. Subject matter,>Moonlight, driving, swimming at night, tide, ocean, swim to the moon, go on a moonlight "drive", "you reach your hand to hold me but I can't be your guide",."come on baby gonna take a little ride, down by the ocean side". I find this song sexy, smooth, relaxing, mysterious and SPLENDID!!
The Doors lyrics mimic perfectly the personality of Jim. Intelligent, enticing with an undertow of sinister and malevolence. Every chance any true Doors fan gets they must mention the artisan that is Robby Krieger. You can keep you Hendrix, your Beck, your Clapton and your Van Halen. To me any guitarist who can flow so freely from blues, to rock to classical is truly unpared. Everytime I'm asked, it's Robby Krieger from The Doors.
I'm with Amber...don't ask questions, just enjoy the trip with Jim. Thanks for the reaction as always and thanks for 3 years...i've loved your reactions, even when it was just Jay but its so much better with the two of you. Hope you both had a great Easter!
I’m not sure how long I’ve been a subscriber but I listened to Jay before Amber and I always enjoyed that discovery journey of Jay’s and then the two of you discovering all you have together. Congratulations and I look forward to more.
I remember sitting on a grassy hill in the sunshine with my best mate here in England, tripping balls on acid listening to this song. It was just amazing.
He was a poet. You should react to the biopic movie, "The Doors" directed by Oliver Stone on your movie channel 😊👍❤❤ Happy Resurrection Day! Happy channel Anniversary!
Even though from their second album, this was the first real Doors song. According to music history, Jim had these lyrics when he ran into his college schoolmate Ray at the beach.
Love watching you two! Thank you for doing this. Jay - Oil your chair, please. The squeaking is coming through audibly during some of the music. Sorry, didn't know if you could notice it. 🤔
3 years? and STILL - You have NOT LISTENED TO the Doors FIRST HIT SONG - LIGHT MY FIRE (The long version) It MUST be the lonnnng version.
Light My Fire a must
Exactly!
Also Whe the music's over!
They’ll watch the Ed Sullivan version.
I'm glad actually everybody does that song and as much as I love the doors I'm tired of hearing light My fire
"If Jim Morrison tells you to swim to the moon with him, you swim to the moon." Best reaction ever.
I busted out laughing when she said that. Morrison ain't gotta tell her twice.
Yeah but its a shame-and blows my mind-how they dont get what the song is about....!@@mperezmcfinn2511
Exactly my thougt! :D
That whole breakdown of the song was great
When the Music's Over The Doors
Greatest guitar solo ever
Turn out the lights.
YES YES @@stevenkmiller
F@#k yes
YES!!
You keep missing “LA Woman”, one of their greatest hits
They're going through all the 'B' sides first. lol
Yes LA Woman is a gem
Yes!
Shamans blues too
They've also missed the obvious, Light My Fire.
Y'all gotta listen to "The End," and you can spend the rest of the day studying and reading commentary as to the meaning. It is absolutely bone chillingly haunting.
LA woman, light my fire, the end, the soft parade, strange days. All Doors songs you must hear.
Jay/Amber, Their "LA Woman" and "Light My Fire" are next for you!!! BANGERS!! Classics!!
the LONG version of Light My Fire please....
Alabama Whiskey Song
Yay, L.A. Women finally. I can't drive my bike or truck slow if I'm listening to that song
@@sailor213100that they did.
Jay/Amber, The Doors documentary quote from Jim "You can't burn out if you're not on fire" ❤
This was the song lyric that Jim recited to Ray on Venice beach which got Ray excited to form a band with Jim. The lyrics have a lot of symbolism in them, but are mainly about a moonlight tryst on the beach. Robby used a slide on his guitar for that "watery" sound to go with the theme.
He has the best scream in rock (personal opinion)....plus L.A. Woman by them needs to be next up!
Well it's gotta be between Jim and Roger Daltrey!
It's one of the few things that the movie did get right.
I love me some Jim Morrison but I personally think Black Francis has the best scream in rock especially when he sings Tame live. However, Jim is still up there though.
@@TheCodyv1971Even the doors didn't care for the movie Oliver Stone really screwed up that film .
Oliver Stone lies in all of his movies , and he screwed up natural born written by Quentin Tarantino !!!
Jim wrote the song as a poem way before The Doors, eventually made it to the 2nd album because the vibe fitted🦋
Jim wrote poems, and Manzarek put music to those poems.
This was the first lyric Jim presented to Ray when he told him he was writing songs. Manzarek loved it and the impetus to form The Doors was born.
70s DOORs the best Doors
The End!! Enough said
I'll never look into your eyes Again
"End of the Night" is another haunting one.
and perhaps *the most*
Wait till yall hear Peace Frog....youll be up dancing!✌️
Happy Easter!!!
Hell yeah. Peace Frog git ya hopping!
In my top five Doors songs!
@MikePhillips-pl6ov Mine too! Æ 🙏
Congratulations on your 3 year anniversary. I'm glad The Doors are in your top 20, for me they're in my top 5.

Supposedly, a version of these lyrics are the words that Ray read, one afternoon, sitting on Venice Beach, which made him say:
Let's start a band... to Jim.
[That's the legend, anyway.]
One of my favorite songs by The Doors, with "The Crystal Ship" being my all-time favorite.
Visited Paris' Pere Lachaise Cemetery in 2012. Those many years after his death, people were living flowers and tributes at Morrison's grave. There was even a young couple at his graveside weeping. Really blew my mind frankly. His music touched so many. The cemetery, by the way, is very interesting; full of notable people and amazing headstone, grave markers, etc. Highly recommend visiting.
I was there in '95. I agree, it is a must-visit in Paris.
Finally- my favorite song from my favorite band. This is the first song Jim ever sang for keyboardist Ray Manzarek. Very important song!
The up and down sound that you did not know what it was was Robby Kreiger on bottle neck slide guitar. Played with an actual neck to a glass bottle. This was the first time Jim Morrison had ever heard the slide guitar and wanted it in all of their songs.
Congrats on your 3 year anniversary!🎊 🎉 I love your channel!! The Doors and Jim Morrison are great!! ❤❤
Thanks guys!!❤❤
The soft parade is a must I can't wait to see your faces throughout all the many changes of the soft parade😂
gotta build them up before they get hit with that materpiece
It's a psychedelic swim to the moon!

Between the known and the unknown are the Doors of perception. ♥️✌🏼😎
Happy anniversary!
The Doors - Spanish Caravan
is an amazing track.
Happy Easter! Blondie did a great cover of this song around 1977, just released from the vault in 2022. Great pick y’all
Didn't know that!
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for everything you guys do, I love your channel!

Need to do crystal ship ... it transports you
Such a fun sweet romantic song about driving to the beach under moonlight sky with your lover....and then she drowns at the end. That is The Doors
Haunting song by the legendary Doors.
The Doors are always good, RIP Singer Jim Morrison & Keyboardist + Ray Manzarek Guitarist Robbie Krieger 78& Drummer John Densmore 79
Jim sang this to Ray on the beach one day in 1965 & a band was born. Legendary stuff
You should listen to "Unknown Soldier" a great , dark track, also 'Spanish Caravan' is special. Also 'When the Musics over'.
Such a cool song that was written by Jim Morrison as he gazed at the view from his rooftop @ Venice Beach. He wrote this as a poem even before The Doors were formed.

good analyis
The song that started the band. Those opening lyrics! Congrats y'all 👏
The title song from this album(Strange Days) is really psychedelic. You'd like it.
This was one of the first handful of songs that Jim Morrison wrote while living on the rooftop of a friend's apartment in Venice CA and tripping on LSD in the summer of 1965.

When the music’s over + The end. The real essence of the Doors
Happy Channel Anniversary!!! Still loving your content and your beautiful family! 🎉❤
Bout time kids Ive asked so many times for you to react to Moonlight Drive & Land Ho.
Yes, all of us Doors fans from the 60"s stay Doors fans till we
pass through the next Door ! its great that this amazing band
has been found by another generation to enjoy ! (Roll Baby Roll)
I love this one as it's a kicker! Also, Happy Anniversary! Three years is an accomplishment! Congrats to both of you.

Love the doors
People are strange ismy favorite because it fit me pretty well in the 70s! This is super too!
Such a doors reaction. The girl feeling joy, the man thinking about the song. This was their demo song, they have a bunch of versions. This is the doors at their youngest in a way. The intention was magic, and I think they have done it.
Great, love your reaciton. Definitely an understated classic from the Doors' Love the way it transitions from light to the dark with we're 'going to drown' tonight...
Happy Easter, may your family be blessed and a blessing to others. God bless.
LIGHT MY FIRE!!! I’ve been waiting three years to react to one of the most iconic songs in music history. And it’s gotta be the long version.
Your socks are gonna be knocked off with this song!!!!!!
A little bizarre, even for the Doors!! It suddenly hit me in the middle of the song...that Jim and the Doors must have been a huge influence on David Byrne and Talking Heads!! Both can be very bizarre and quirky!!
The Doors' signature touch of darkness is definitely here. Note the somewhat thrown away line near the end of the song, "baby, gonna drown tonight", suggesting this romantic drive for a moonlight swim has suicidal implications...
I love everything the doors did. My favorite song is wintertime love. It's sweet and sad and singularly beautiful, just like jim was.
One of my all time favourite Doors songs!
Happy RUclips anniversary, you guys. Your videos have introduced me to a song or two as well, so many thanks for that!

Congratulations,3 years of bringing happiness and joy to so many of us.
My neighbour in high school would have house parties with nothing but The Doors playing. 😂 they played the Doors at his wake. RIP Jeff and Jim.
..if I'd have to distill the 60s down to 3 absolute crucial musicians / bands, it would be the Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Doors - they were the giants among many, many fantastic gigs! Listen to 'Light my fire' soon - that is such a genius piece of musical art - you can't really judge the Doors as long as you haven't listened to this... (its like contemplating the Beatles, and not having yet come across 'Hey Jude') 💖
Been around since day one. Three more years you betcha ) Always fun and love you all hearing stuff I loved for ages.
These lyrics were the first song, that Jim said to Ray on a beach! That’s when Ray knew he need to form a band
Can't believe you guys haven't listened to, Light My Fire.
Yesss, let's swim to the moon.
There were a lot of metaphorical and allegorical lyrics in this song that I almost drowned.
And sometimes the moonlight feels so limpid one could swim in it.
Liked the chair dancing.
Thanks for playing this. Took me back to when I was a lot younger than now.
Keep up the explorations in music.
HAPPY EASTER GUYS AND CONGRATULATIONS FOR 3 AWESOME YEARS 🎉😊🩷🤘✌️
You guys should react to The Doors film that Oliver Stone made
"Penetrate the evening that the city sleeps to hide" from this song, Moonlight Drive....those were the first lyrics that Jim presented to Ray Manzarek when they met on Venice beach in 1965. Ray knew right then and there that he wanted to form a band with Jim.

Classic Doors!
Happy Easter, Jay & Amber! ♥️🐰♥️🐰 love the Doors! Thank you guy’s. 💛🐰💛🐰
In california the sun sets in the west, across the ocean view....jim was so high he wrote song where he thought he could literally swim to the horizon.... "lets swim to the moon" as it rose above the horizon after the sun had set.
Or as the moon arose to/on** the horizon...& yeah, jim loved the slide, after this he wanted robbie to play it on every song
Studio version of “LA woman” and “Light my fire” live on Sullivan.
Such a cool song. One of my dreams was to see the ocean. On top of that, had those surfers in the mist, and that beautiful moon. A cool reminder.
Moonlight Drive is a poem Jim wrote way before the doors came to be. Subject matter,>Moonlight, driving, swimming at night, tide, ocean, swim to the moon, go on a moonlight "drive", "you reach your hand to hold me but I can't be your guide",."come on baby gonna take a little ride, down by the ocean side". I find this song sexy, smooth, relaxing, mysterious and SPLENDID!!
The Doors lyrics mimic perfectly the personality of Jim. Intelligent, enticing with an undertow of sinister and malevolence.
Every chance any true Doors fan gets they must mention the artisan that is Robby Krieger. You can keep you Hendrix, your Beck, your Clapton and your Van Halen. To me any guitarist who can flow so freely from blues, to rock to classical is truly unpared. Everytime I'm asked, it's Robby Krieger from The Doors.
krieger criminally underrated
Good choice. It's an artist people never choose on The Voice or AGT or any covers and God knows how good he was.
If you like The Doors, you're sure to like Violent Femmes. Their best known hits are "Blister in the sun" and "Gone Daddy Gone"
Gimme the car
Three awesome years!
I been with you ever since...
When the Music's Over. Maggie McGill. The Spy. These songs are always overlooked and for my money or some of the best of the doors
I'm with Amber...don't ask questions, just enjoy the trip with Jim. Thanks for the reaction as always and thanks for 3 years...i've loved your reactions, even when it was just Jay but its so much better with the two of you. Hope you both had a great Easter!
"...Baby gon' DROWN tonight..."
When the Musics Over is my favorite!!
I am A HUGE DOORS FAN!!! Such a great song!!!
This is the song Jim sang to Ray on the very day they met in Venice Beach and decided to form The Doors.
I’m not sure how long I’ve been a subscriber but I listened to Jay before Amber and I always enjoyed that discovery journey of Jay’s and then the two of you discovering all you have together. Congratulations and I look forward to more.

Congratulations guys on 3 years you've got a great channel we love you! stay strong!
Love The Doors!!!
Happy Easter! Thanks, love the Doors. Jim was a poet.... :p
