Jim was really into mystical and mythology. It's NOT just drugs okay? So a lot of his lyrics pertain to both of them. This fact has always helped me to understand his lyrics better.
exactly..... its a symbolist framework... abstract, yes, but not lsd induced surrealism or dreams.... is the odyssey about lsd? no, its symbolist motif and parable.
"Our music is more symbolic rather than to the point " -Robbie Krieger.
"Soft Parade" song, along with "Not to touch the earth", are my two very favorite doors songs. And I'm very familiar with ALL of their albums and songs. These two songs are RARELY ever "reacted" to on youtube, not sure why, wish more would react to them.
people are scared of not to touch the earth, esp after they really understand it.
Lol
"The Monk bought Lunch"!
It's off The Soft Parade album.
Not many reactions to this one unfortunately. Possibly my favorite by them. I think it to be their most artistic musically and lyrically. With the possible exception of The Celebration of the Lizard.
Morrison was first and foremost a poet, in his mind...
This album, also titled The Soft Parade, really stands out as a little box out to the side of all of the other albums, as it is unlike any of the others in production and sound. It's one of my favorites, but it's kinda treated like a stepchild by many Doors fans. I've been loving the song and the album ever since my older brother brought it home when I was in 5-6th grade, and it was brand new. As long as you're on the album, you might as well give a listen to Wild Child, and/or Wishful, Sinful. Good stuff.
It totally is treated like the stepchild lol. It's definitely my least favorite out of all the albums but it is very unique.
I love this album Doors can't do anything wrong in my book. My favorite track Tell all the people written by Robbie who was also a great song writer
None of the Doors albums were alike absolutely none, You literally get to listen to them in each album , grow, progress, as musicians.
Could be my favorite Doors tune. Plenty of rockin attitude.
to understand morrison lyrically here.... put william blake w/ neitzche then finish it off w/ greek epic & joseph campbell.... this isnt about drugs. morrison had a brief period w/ lsd in '66-'67. they were marketed that way & of course people to this day, just assume its all acid influenced... this is much more about the before & after.... the problem w/ the song is also its virtue. he isnt really trying to make it accessible, he doesnt care... yet, if you understood the influences I mentioned before, you can make sense of the lyrics. its symbolist poetry written in a large scale theme framework. the culture. the modern west, haunted by its past & suffocating in its present (late '68).... what seems nonsense is symbolic motifs drawing out a bigger picture. its not their best structured long piece, but there is a thread and framework there.... its about a culture that indoctrinates you to in turn shape you into a consumer and believer. the payoff is security, material wealth & safety thru $, suburbs etc. Yet the price, is manipulation thru usage of you as cattle. whether it is war (the green vest, political manipulaton left and right (deer vest beads vs lion in the nite)... the message is: to survive it, is to first understand it. then stake out your free will w/in it. yet, at the time this was written, the cost could be high. it was easy to be trapped as the song strongly suggests. & the power structure can & will use strong means for control, including manipulating fear thru info & media control (whip the horses eye, wh/ comes is a neitzche literary reference)... the horse, innocent free will & spirit. the eyes (what you see imagary wise in the culture). the whip, to control your perceptions of what you see & feel thru pain & fear. the goal to put you back to sleep mode (docile consumer), so your easily controlled. maybe more relevant now.
Well said I couldn't have stated it any better. Jim was a very complex and incredibly intelligent person. He read so many books on just about everything, history, mythology, poets, mystical, etc..etc. The whipping the horses eyes I read was based on a story about the horses on a ship on the sea during a huge storm. I can't remember the details but it was interesting. I have Jim's book "The American Night" "The writings of Jim Morrison volume 2". I bought it many many many years ago, but never tire going back and reading his poems.
I met Jim (and the doors) when some girls in my gym class (they were very rebel tough girls) knew him, they used to hang out in Venice beach with them. These girls brought and played the first doors album in our posture gym class in HS, our teacher was very cool and let us work out to it. This was before the album even came out and when Light my fire finally came out on the radio, the doors were not that well known yet, and they came to our HS and did two concerts (two lunch period) and used our small posture gym class room for a dressing room. I had drawn a pencil portrait of Jim (from the album cover) and had a big crush on him and everyone knew I liked "this weird guy" they didn't know about yet. So anyway these girls introduced the doors to me while they were in dressing room (our gym class room) and when they introduced Jim to me they told him I was the one that drew the portrait of him (they had told him about my portrait), he was so nice and kissed my hand. He talked about art and poetry with me for a few minutes (I mean I'm standing there in my gym shorts and shirt a very shy introvert!) and I remember his eyes were so intense and beautiful. I found him to be a very sweet perfect gentlemen, that part of him some may not know about. So we went to their second lunch hour concert in our big gymnasium and during the second song, Jim did his thing and laid on the floor rolling around as he sang and for some bizarre reason the principal had called the police and as Jim laid there the police literally dragged him away as he passively let them drag him along the gym floor. Most of the HS students booed them and didn't like them at all. So the next day in all my classes all the people that knew me told me how "disgusting Jim Morrison and the doors were and "How could I like them as they would "amount to nothing". I mean right huh?? P.S. I grew up in Los Angels county the San Fernando valley.
Yo that is some in-depth bio’s!! Well said!! Jim’s IQ was 149 he was absolutely gifted in anything he did! He could make u angry & then weep at the depth of his mind wit words!!
A lot of people watch O.Stones the doors and think that was Jim. Totally wasn’t !!
@@Rhiannon011 wow if that’s true u are totally my new hero!!! Incredible story!!!!
@@Lookaturself875 I found this great interview of Jim on youtube with this reporter. Just type in youtube search >"Jim Morrison and Tony Thomas CBC interview 1970", I guess it was not the year he died, sorry I was wrong about that.
@@Lookaturself875 It's all true. My sisters and some old friends still bring up how they trashed me thinking Jim and the doors "would amount to nothing".
Huge Doors fan, happy to see this reaction! 👏👏 In fact, I made the pilgrimage to Paris to visit Jim’s grave when I was a teen…once in a lifetime band.
I've always loved this one. It's weird but wonderful.
Better living through modern chemistry.
This Is one of the albums with a bass player
By far my favorite Doors song.
It's Gaga. He's not actually on a trip singing this recording, but I believe he's trying to maybe explain a trip to us non- trippers😊.
The Doors do a very sober, very good rendition of this and a few other songs on a great PBS Special, you can watch it on RUclips.
I dig that you reacted to this song most reactors do Light My Fire or other radio-friendly hits
Riders on the storm is my favorite Doors song✌🏼
Best part of the trip ⛵
Its all because of that Oliver Stone movie that when people bring up The Doors, and Jim Morrison they automatically relate them to drugs, and alcohol and nothing more.. And that's messed up.
I'm glad you like it, but I'm a little surprised at your misconceptions of the Doors. Although nearly all bands were involved in drug use at the time, the Doors included, they weren't really typical in their drug use. Jim was above all an alcoholic who happened also to like LSD. The other three occasionally tripped and smoked a decent amount of weed, but the Doors were by no stretch among the druggiest bands, though Jim, for a while, was taking acid frequently along with the ever-present bottle. Densmore and Krieger were interested in Buddhism and eastern mysticism from the very beginning, and Ray Manzarek, while also partaking in a bit of acid and weed, was already something of a family man. The groundedness of the three musicians is what enabled them to endure Jim's chaos for as long as they did. And while Jim did have a serious literary side, he was extremely unstable from the start, perhaps from growing up a military brat. How much of his madness was fueled by booze and acid (and it surely was) and how much was coming from his innate demons we'll never know. It is, however, ironic that Jim died of a heroin overdose, because he didn't like heroin and had hardly ever taken it. But on that fateful night in Paris he was "scoring" for Pam, his troubled longtime consort and by this time a junkie, and he decided to test the heroin, which was unusually pure. Unaccustomed to the drug and, most importantly, already stinking drunk, Jim lost consciousness pretty quickly, as the combination of the two powerful sedatives simply overwhelmed his nervous system and put him to sleep forever. It took decades for the actual story to come out.
Damn that is so tragic. Thank you for relaying the info so concisely and also helping shape out a proper image of the group in my mind going forward. :)
@@JohnSlopReacts Thanks. And the murk runs even deeper. What was the official story of Jim's death for decades was based on the French police report, which simply took Pam's testimony as the final say. (The French didn't want any trouble over the death of a famous victim.) In that version, they say Jim came home, feeling unwell, went to bed, then went to take a bath, and then failed to respond when Pam knocked at the door, because he was dead. But Pam, in her version, was trying to avoid trouble and clearly covering for her heroin dealer, a French aristocrat, with whom she was also having an affair. And she was covering for herself, of course. For years, all the other witnesses--particularly those at the rock n roll club where Jim scored the drug--continued to insist that Jim died at the club, in a bathroom stall, whereupon the body was driven to Jim and Pam's apartment and hauled upstairs and placed in the tub full of water in a feeble attempt to revive him. But this was so sloppily done that they put his body in the tub with head at the same end as the spigot, which pretty well shows that Jim didn't get in the tub by himself, because nobody ever does that. And the police should have known this. Further evidence of a coverup? At any rate, the accumulation of testimony over the years has led to what seems like a more or less true version of what actually happened. Many blame Pam, but if Jim hadn't been such an incurable drunk, he might have survived those two snorts of pure heroin. A tragedy all around. Within two years both Pam and the French aristocrat dealer were both dead in turn. At any rate, if you're relatively unfamiliar with the Doors and want to know more, do not watch Oliver Stone's film of the same name. It paints a false picture of Jim, according to the surviving band members. (Watch instead the documentary, When You're Strange.) Jim was crazy and unpredictable, but he was also sweet, funny, and highly intelligent. It occurred to me many years ago that, among all his dark lyrics, there's still more love in his short catalogue of songs than in Dylan's entire lifetime output. You could almost say his insistent love of Pam (despite his and her many infidelities) is what killed him. The other band members had long thought she was bad news, and in the end they were right.
The Doors were not entirely about drugs, Morrison was a genius and poet one minuet and a raging madman the next. He was all about testing the bounds of reality and getting a reaction from those who listen, just as you are today. The Doors were all about masterfully crafting and building a song into a climax of intense chaotic disarray and mayhem only to bring you back to sanity in the next verse.
Doors = GOATS
Dude you don't have be on drugs to enjoy this i don't do drugs and been listening to this for 30 yrs to me it's a song about life itself and how chaotic it can be look at the world around you nothing but chaos and disorder you don't need drugs to see that. That's what Jim's telling me in this song how this world is chaotic and disorderly.
Ween needs to cover this gem.
The live PBS version of this is very informative.
It's fun watching reacters try to interpret The Doors' lyrics when they're not yet familiar with what The Doors are all about. They're so lost. lol
Ambiguity is challenging.
Forgot the part about the women carrying the babies to the river.
My personal perspective of the intro to this song is that Jim is saying to the preacher that all aspect of life, booth good and bad, cannot be negotiated with God......ie, 'The Lord givei'th, the Lord Take'th Away'..
Enjoy what you got!...LOL
Ooooh, screw reactions, if u already like-ish them check out the entire l.a. woman album asap, its their final masterpiece & redemption....i thought to say it bc their first, and then their last album, the l.a. woman album, are my favorites from them.....its almost 100% original blues-like songs....damn, its something else....if u already appreciate them, even a little, i think youll like it a lot, its epic...hell, do a reaction to the whole album, idk
What a perfect reintroduction.
Did you ever finish listening to Yes's debut album? I'm pretty sure "Survival" is up next!
Morrison crazy Alpha male.
Whip the horses eyes maybe aka to lie about what happened
Whip the horses eyes comes from Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky it is one of the most intense scenes
I think you should experiment with Toto music...so many great places to start!!! A Thousand Years, Hydra, Chase the Rain, Waiting for Your Love. Just to name a few B-Sides...
Yes to Toto
Jim Morrison viewed himself as a poet. So it was put to music. DALTRY was never like Jim.
Please check out their masterpiece When The Music’s Over off their second album Strange Days. Listen loud. Peak 60’s vibe. You’re welcome.
Zappa inspired
Are you live jon
It’s observation of everybody while tripping I think.
Not a big fan of the Doors but I like this one
Sounds like a drug trip.
Too much emphasis on drugs in this video. The doors were brilliant musicians, composers and lyricists.
don.t want to be a smartass but you need to read a bunch of books to really understand the lyrics
condescending ~!~ not a good look .. the guy Jimbo, a natural poet
the ramblings of a mad-man, much needed in the 60s.
All their music is subversive.
Jim was into alcohol and heroin…just a junkie who died young….so yeah….it’s all about drugs.
No it’s way more than that that’s such a superficial view on it
