The Doors - I looked at you
"Jim Morrison & the Doors on the road"... (6)
The musically simplest song of the first album, with the usual exquisite introduction by Densmore. A sunny little tune that tells us a seemingly trivial love story between two lovers exchanging glances and smiles. The message is that the two can no longer look back because "it's too late" seems to simply mean that they are too in love to do so. However, the harshness with which Morrison sings the verses suggests far more dramatic conclusions. From the very beginning, one starts to notice the darkness of the lyrics, the music, the atmosphere that surrounds them. In the two sides of a love story, it will almost always be the dark, intense, and sometimes wicked side that prevails.
