[RLJB25]

This is great!! Sooo organic!! Yes I!!

[greeneyedgnome]

dude this sounds just like jim

[happyjessus]

i think you ve matched the lyrics to the music exactly like morrison would do (well..at least in a way...) i like it, i really DO like it!

[t4b5klh]

you sir are a douche!!!!!!!!!!!

[looseconnection]

@t4b5klh does this mean you don't like the video?

[mrmojorisin119]

very well done 

[pnoplyr14]

... it's all about the L O V E ;-)

[Mysterymusicgirl]

Poetry is expression not meant to be perfect

it is about being you doesnt have to make

sense thats what makes art you do it well.

[xtremerockomaniac]

Im happy to see that the Spirit of the 60's of real rock n roll is still going after all the pieces of new crap surrounds our music today -.-... Iam also making musics with a friend similiar to the songs they made back then...Cooool song :p

[MrRogueAngel]

very sweet on the ear,nice to hear that another picks up the legacy of jim.

do nt worry if they say ur not a rocking jim like "five in one" ,if "they"only new who actually written five to one, they would nt say such things.

since everybody state an advise to you,i will do the same,i will say the same as in thoses days ; sweep them of there feet, lead them around the church,pad them on the back and take them home!

[chasinherhorse]

Am I missing something here???

[looseconnection]

@chasinherhorse apparently

[looseconnection]

@chasinherhorse yes.

[pma4usa]

Pretty sweet!

[hippie23708]

awsome man keep it up the spirt of morrison is in you

[selenio999]

great *5

[happyjessus]

really good try..! i think it's positive that people still try to sing in the way HE did..

[bacblum]

hi mi frien tank you a fromt venezuela i love jim douglas morrisom

[NSJMculture]

why are you imitating him? Im a Doors fan but this is freaky

[songbirdsearching]

what???? Give me what he is taking to relax so well. Lmao!

[eewoood]

sounds a bit like THE END by the doors mate!! but good job!! keep the sprit alive

[n1temairdr1fter]

I can see the resemblance...

[3rkid2]

Lmao.

[LindaMuse]

This is incredible music! Thanks for putting it out there! Peace and Love to ALL.

[itnow]

u seem ok for the laid back repertoire (crystal ship, indian summer,...) but u don't fit the blues and rock numbers (five to one, maggie mac gill,...)

take care

[looseconnection]

@itnow yeah I would have to agree. My soul more resembles the poetic Jim versus the hard rocking Jim. I am trying though ...but I am who I am. thanks.

[guitarnashelter]

wow that was great very dreamy and relaxing,just like going on a trip with the lizard king himself

[lampang3]

I am flashing back....smiles and highs...purple micro dot...orange double dome...clear light...green frog...etc .

Don't think my brain cells could do it again (53 now)....unless...under the right circumstances...and I do live in Thailand(north) part time.

Maybe a concert in Chiang Mai Thailand???!!

Could be quite the trip

[Karen45251]

Wow! You sound like Jim Morrison. Great job!

[Amiellll]

I'm speechless... You are awesome!

I prostrate myself before you Master! ;p

Have a nice day!

Much Love :)

[darkxhino]

good man.. great job ,

[RafaelloBroadcast]

really good! in the next life you are the next jim m.

[AJoreocookie]

Hey Joe its Aurie I closed my old account would you add me again?

Im so dumb I forgot my password haha1

good one here!

[1236bigcat]

I feel as if spirits of 'god-men' can be poured into me, filling me, and so in you Joe, I see what I see, as I too see.

Cabalists teaches that the moon is the mystical vessel in which souls are gathered before they are released to the world. The moon in Kabbalah represents receptivity...

'The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.'

~ Plutarch

[backdoorman29]

this is so trippy..awesome ...

[7246a]

[Midnightryder7]

Good job

[ckc1958]

I've watched this video several times since yesterday, and I think it's just awesome. Your vocal style does remind me so much of Jim Morrison's. I'm proud to say that I've been a Doors fan sice childhood. Thank you Joe--you sound incredible , and you bring back many great Doors memories!!!

[DioMode]

thanks for the send ckc1958-this really cool!

\,,/ + \,,/

[ckc1958]

. Glad you liked it Ric. Isn't Joe incredible?

[DioMode]

yes, he's quite good :))

[ckc1958]

I knew you'd enjoy it. I've loved the Doors since my cousin introduced me to their music when i was nine years old. The Doors were hot then. They'll always be timeless. That's why I'm glad that Joe helps keep their music alive.

[edlyons]

Absolutely delightful. My Facebook friends will love it!

[darkmoon123321]

Some aspects of your singing sounds a lot like jim Morrison

[1wiesehoefer1]

very good 5*************************

[TethResh]

You've never done acid, when are you doing to die ?

[bbuteo]

[innerspace428]

[KarenEng]

Cool video Joe! Long live Jim! ;)

[frank02111]

Thanks for the video. I was just 12 when Jim left this world. he was and always will be a man/poet that i wish to emulsate myself if just a little that will be cool.Thanks Frankie of Boston

[Mikafall]

you're a real jimmy fan that's for sure:) are you sure your not jim himself? kidding kidding...

[0Heltonsilva0]

ohhh, jim morrison after 25years??

[brian6078]

Hey,looseconnection has anyone one ever told you that you look much like Jim Morrison?

[looseconnection]

once or twice

[brian6078]

No I did not say I disliked this,in fact I do like this and have saved it,you did a great job with "To Close to the Sun"I have saved it so I can listen to it again and again!Thanks for the tune looseconnection.

[looseconnection]

thank YOU everyone for listening, watching and commenting. I felt this song wasn't getting enough attention. I love the fact it's a collaboration between me and Ray. It seems to be getting some now!

[doyleaudio]

I'm reading a number of negative comments on this.

No he not like the first rush you got from doing the orginal sonic drug of Doors, But he's putting it out there and living the Dream and would Mr. Morrison himself not tell us all to live now, because Life is short enough?

Take a pill and chill. You might find what most of us are enjoying here.

Music is cheaper than Therapy, and this loose connection is more connected than most of us.

Peace!

[brian6078]

I agree,and I did not say I did'nt like it,I do like this!

[brian6078]

sound like a Doors song,"when the musics over"

[looseconnection]

yep. I didn't get that you disliked it at all. And yes, Music's Over as well as the End, inspired the structure. I'm glad someone noticed that. By beginning & ending with the same stanza, improvising in the middle etc. I did try to leave it sparse, as the song is an instrumental with some great solos.

[xDxRabbitx]

Beautiful.

[georgekush]

ray manzarek you made some of the most enchanting sounds, so awsome. the organ/.

[Jolie028]

I liked it so much!

Congratulations!

[fleshyglassbits]

This is awful....yeah something is wrong and something is not quite right.

[TaaylorDoubleImpact]

[shakeahand1]

[TanteA]

Amazing.... Did you write the lyrics?

Anette

[carolesmagicworkshop]

groovy!! Have you ever met Ray or Robby? What do they think of you? Maybe they'll want to make you into their new Lizard King....not that it worked with Ian Astbury though****

[looseconnection]

I have never met Ray. Would like to. I did interview Robby on the phone in 1993 after the Northridge Earthquake, by phone. That was interesting.

[hida91]

awesome

[911Shaman]

This was cool.

[gearhart2009]

You've done a nice job with Manzarek''s tune. I love the back drop. You should be so proud

DHD. You're also going to make the Lizzard King come back from the grave to get his old job back. I'm glad you kept "it" in your pants.

LOL!!!!!!!

[Loeek]

ok, so this is Loic's account, but its me, Tihana, lol. love ur video luv... ;) Your voice is..calming....

5 stars..I cannot put more ;)

[thedickiesman]

I knew it, Jim's still alive. He's been in Texas living off sushi and cactus juice. Excellent...five stars.

[looseconnection]

out here on the perimeter there are no stars and like, not even enough jack for a tuna roll.

[mackb909]

I agree with csn68. It's got the vibe. If you don't like it, go listen to Bread or the Ohio Express or the Cowsills.

[looseconnection]

hey man i used to have a Bread record. What's wrong w/ bread :)

[mackb909]

Sorry! Back in the early '70s when my little sister would take control of the stereo, she would subject me to Bread ("If") and John Denver ("Rocky Mountain High") until I was ready to fall to the floor, beg for mercy, and spill all the secrets. It was as bad as waterboarding to me at the time! When she was done listening, I had to subject myself to massive infusions of Traffic, Doors, Cream, and J. Hendrix Experience to blot out the traumatic experience.

[franko6262]

Love her like the rain!!

[looseconnection]

& you need her or you go insane.

[looseconnection]

I will say this, given how fast I did this, it's not bad .. I mean I think I downloaded the song from amazon 2-3 days ago. Started playing it and singing with it.. getting it's feel and scratching out some words on a note pad.

The tags at the beginning and end is a stanza i've been carrying around for years, dropping it in here or there.

[dmio2]

nicely done

[ArielleKelly]

thanks, its amazing...u are so like me, i can never hold off when the creative urge hits...i can barely remember the lyrics I just wrote when I am already trying to record it...seize the day

[ArielleKelly]

oh btw, this is QueenofAngels on Twitter. I have always wanted to put my poetry to music, so u have inspired me to go ahead and give it a try!...blessings 2 u

[crosbystillsnash68]

are you all high on crack!?!? i think it's awesome, 5 stars, if you dont like the original that's your prerogative but this is very well done.

[PepperWhite62]

Sorry friend, the original sucked ass and this version does too. You shouldn't do any of covers of Ray's he's a fucking monster.

[FACStchr]

Enough already!

[looseconnection]

why don't you move to Iran. Censorship is very popular there.

[magicdog200]

Nice job with mixing up the lyrics. Haven't seen Ray in almost 10 years.

Cheers

[magicalmerk]

cool song, I like the vibe :)

[ercc88]

Nice try but no cigar and I even suffered through it twice beacuse, yes...I was that fucking bored.

[ercc88]

Just give it up man, really. Please for the love of God stop!!! Seek therapy

[Gilliatt83]

very nice song
