I can't see your face in my mind
Carnival dogs consume the lines
Can't see your face in my mind
Don't you cry
Baby, please don't cry
And don't look at me with your eyes
I can't seem to find the right lie
I can't seem to find the right lie
Insanity's horse adorns the sky
Can't seem to find the right lie
Carnival dogs consume the lines
Can't see your face in my mind
Don't you cry
Baby, please don't cry
I won't need your picture until we say goodbye
Truly the most overrated band ever with the possible exception of Duran Duran, only maintained by aging people who came of age in the 60's who make the rest of us listen to this. Give the Doors a proper retirement and let's get over it.
Mmmm, not really but OK.
Honest, I've never heard this one before. Start with a 7. I do like The Lizard King.
LLRP

I don't fit that description and enjoy The Doors. I'm sure I'm not alone.
Only if you stay at the surface.
I Agree! GREAT TUNE!! Thanx RP!
No they weren't. Just a hippy drug scene band with a lot of bad poetry and a sort of attractive lead singer that was too stoned to really show up.

Timeless, as in "this song stops my stream of consciousness whenever I hear it."
Timeless, as in "my kids love the Doors, too."
Timeless, as in "40-something years old and still very listenable."
I agree this tune is "listenable", and your last three points make sense, but this clearly sounds like it was made in the time period between 1967 and 1969; it's overflowing with "stylistic references to a specific time period". Aside from the obvious "time-stamped" instrumentation and production there are the customary, Carlos-Cantaneda-inspired, psychedelic lyrics:
"...Insanity's horse
Adorns the sky
Can't seem to find the right lie
Carnival dogs
Consume the lines..."
Of course, we all hear different things in each song.
write on man! Doors were (are) so excellent, not for the simple minded or uncool : )
"Aye aye, Cap'n. Switching to impulse power..."
(Their keyboards are so F'ing annoying)
But I suppose I can see why some people can get into them.
First time I heard this was on a bootleg cassette from a SF FM Midnight radio that was posted out of the world... It landed in a place with only young men... most with no clue... some with an inkling and all with an urge for adventure... we go a full smorgasbord of adventures.
Laying back watching the moon stars, letting the music of another world that had changed so fast and yet felt so familiar was the first of several strange (strange = arrived without reference points) adventures the next two years... Back in the world again and the music was so close it was my skin...
Now Oh-So-Long-Later it still cuts thru the clutter or the sounds everyone else is putting out. It opens memories of a past and a door to acceptance of a new world coming...
I'm sure it's just me... But for those who arrived since then... Maybe you can catch a psychic touch... a feeling of what was and what may come again... The past always returns again and again, not exactly the same, but in different guise and with different people...
Enjoy the ride... It is well worth the price of admission

all of the above + they were good at it......
Yes, they were. So there.
Far out, man! These guys were so far ahead of their time ..............

Indeed you may be... but what about the song.

This comes from someone who gave the Beatle's a one and R.E.M a two. Do you eat children ?
While I'm at it, Renton, well it's more like "Low-Rent-Town", and that chill-en is why Boeing own's the entire North-end.
Yer windows ever Rattle and Hum ?
Couldn't have said it better.
They had two bass players. Ray Manzarek's right and left feet.
All I hear is the really obnoxious guitar picking. I don't know if I deslike the mix, the guitar licks or the song in general but I could go a very long time without hearing it again and be quite happy.
A mime is a precious thing to waste.

This is the band of old The Doors-members Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger. Because mr Manzarek couldn't get away from his beloved keyboards, we couldn't take a picture of him. So here's Robby Krieger, who was just playing 'Love Me Two Times' when I took this picture.
———————————————————————————————————-
Robert Alan "Robby" Krieger was in The Doors with keyboard player Ray Manzarek, drummerJohn Densmore and vocalistJim Morrison. At an early Doors rehearsal Morrison heard Krieger playing bottleneck guitar and initially wanted the technique featured on every song on the first album. Krieger's fingerstyle approach to the electric guitar, eclectic musical tastes, and songwriting helped establish The Doors as a successful rockband in the 1960s. His only singing with the early Doors can be heard on the album The Soft Parade, on the song "Runnin' Blue".
Love this song!

We don't make you listen to anything. Use the PSD button or listen to some other music source
