surely Jim Morrison endured lghorba like us, he simply depicts our situation as expatriate, or rather i feel it like this, maybe it's only drugs that made him fly away without leaving los angeles... I'm not posting this to make you feel down, it's just a far reminiscence that reappears suddenly ..
People are strange, when you're a stranger Faces look ugly, when you're alone Women seem wicked, when you're unwanted Streets are uneven, when you're down
When you're strange, faces come out of the rain When you're strange, no one remembers your name When you're strange, when you're strange When you're, strange
I love this song. I think it reveals Morrison's sensitivity more than anything else. He has always felt misunderstoond and a bit stranger to this world. Being rejected by his parents for wanting to become an artist must have had a negative impact on him too. And if you think of that time, sixties and seventies, the rebellious hippy movement was not widely acceptable and many of these artists felt marginalised and were compensating by throwing themselves in life's pleasures, drink, drugs etc..
The music is great though! although my favourite song is "The End".
I have a collection of unpublished poems written by Morrison. if you're interested, let me know and i'll publish some here
You are right, Morrison was a great artist though i think that his genius was a bit negatively "altered" by the spirit of the era, i mean the negative side of the sixties, drugs...
sure "the end" is a masterpiece, but it's not the only one, do you know "the crystal ship"
I know "the crystal ship" and you're right, it's a great song, the lyrics are so sad and powerful and his voice is amazingly soft when he sings it, it's one of the songs that show how much Jim Morrison was ahead of this time... I think i like The End because it's also the soundtrack of "Apocalypse Now" which is one of my favourite movies
relativity i guess... if you are normal is a strange world where everybody is strange, being strange will be being "normal" and being normal will be the "strange" in this world...
think about a straight guy in a gay bar... a clothed man in a nudist colony... (they call us "textile"
I'm asking myself if i have a twin sister or something like this ........
It hurts to set you free But you'll never follow me The end of laughter and soft lies The end of nights we tried to die
I asked myself the same question when i first saw your post! anyway, i always wanted to have a twin brother or sister, so it looks like my wish has been granted
Moment of inner freedom when the mind is opened and the infinite universe revealed & the soul is left to wander dazed & confus'd searching here & there for teachers & friends.
Moment of Freedom as the prisoner blinks in the sun like a mole from his hole
I used and still do like the doors they brings back memories. back home when I learned my first English song: I love you the best better than all the rest... I sang it to all the girls I fancied then just to show off. Oh boy it did work
