The Doors - Waiting for the sun
"Jim Morrison & The Doors on the road" (41)
Perhaps the song that has undergone the most changes in the history of the band. But it’s too beautiful to be left out. Not completed as they wished for the self-titled album, deemed "unsuitable" for "The Soft Parade," it was finished to the satisfaction of the group only during rehearsals for "Morrison Hotel." The piece is a blend of melodies dear to the early Doors and distorted, heavy, wild riffs. There’s a strange calm in Jim’s vocals; it could be a total resignation or a confidence in the arrival of something beautiful. What metaphor it hides is, as always, in his head (is his future that of the band, the American situation and/or that of peoples in general, or simply a moment of personal life?!)
"This is the strangest life I've ever had"…
