[thedoor93]

happy birthday jim!

[zoeleonardd]

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh.

[Rush1013]

You guys act like LSD is the answer to everything, and music and art cant be appreciated without it. I bet 95% of you haven't even done it. People need to learn that LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs are not the key to life and imagination. Robby, Ray and John (along with many others) all realized that in the late 60's and turned to meditation. This music was not invented by LSD, it simply fueled the band, the audience, and reputation that went along with. This is poetry at its finest.

[miles2057]

@Rush1013 Very well said ,mate.

Many people don't know that this song was written before Jim and Ray reunited after leaving Uni, before the band was even formed,before Robbie and John were on the scene....

Jim was a poet before a singer.

He couldn't sing before meeting Ray, who, actually taught Jim to sing....

[TheMeleemonkey]

@Rush1013 T

[TheMeleemonkey]

@Rush1013 The DOORS of perception.

[BlackManSlim562]

@Rush1013 i was watching a doors documentary and Manzarek (spelling?) said that Jim didn't even really use an excessive amount of drugs [not that he knows of] but he sure as hell drank alot

[buzzsaw177]

Robby is a great slide player lol...

[leolennon1604]

is billie jean ?

[kiemtien01]

rofl i cant stop laughing!!!!

[MrAlexdesousa]

Great song..

[theirishinc]

LSD died when Jerry Garcia died.

[TheSchlager1]

Who are the five Assclowns that do not like this?????

[UltraRockSounds]

Do you have to try LSD to be high? Nope, all i need to do is listen to The Doors.

[wildcatter63]

@UltraRockSounds Well, they did drop a suffice quantity for everyone to be spaced...

[elvispresley718]

what great slide guitar, great song structure gamechanger!

[irvnz]

@NoelleNabob Anytime ...

[Britishgroupie]

@NoelleNabob no you don't. It's happened to me... lol

[davidbowierocksilove]

"Easy! I love you, as I watch you...GLIDE!" :D

[candoanything654]

i wonder what jim would look like today if he was alive

[bonjovigirl2011]

This get me horny event thou about suilde it's the harmony.

[synergysouls]

this song is about suicide...... o well we all want to die some day....

"Penetrate the evenin' that the

City sleeps to hide " that means to die in your sleep what an awesome feeling, to die in ur sleep... i woulnt feel nothing...

[TheOsamaBlack]

The song that started it all ..

[emcaraccioli]

The sound is a product of the soul. Robbie Krieger has soul, and unfortunately, most of his clones, do not. To watch ROBBIE play, is to watch a MASTER at HIS CRAFT...how can you hope to imitate the notes, lines, phrases that come right from his heart, his fingers, his mind, and the matter of the moment? You can't.

THAT IS WHY ROBBIE KRIEGER RULES the CRYSTAL SHIP.

[LivingTylerDurden]

my band is covering this song, and we just can't get it to sound right....they were such a unique sound, and impossible to mimic. long live the doors

[DoublePlow]

@LivingTylerDurden I covered this in a band some years back. The 90's to be exact. Your right, I had to bust my ass for 3 weeks to nail Robbies phrasing on the guitar. Everyone has to nail the phrasing of their part

[JhonyHellrocker]

its not a shame that morrison is death... it´would be a shame to see him old

DOORS FOREVER!

[karla0808]

Song that started everything :)

[jorgefer887]

the doors legend song RIP jim you are a genious

[MrCfm75]

4 people need to try LSD

[extremekurt]

@MrCfm75 Hell Yeah...but if they are starters then they outta do a good deed and smoke some weed!

[phrez]

@MrCfm75 one did try but didnt like it. FAG

[paradimitris]

@MrCfm75 don't worry. by disliking the video it seems they have already done

[Jimmyblonde1979]

@MrCfm75 5 now. On the up side however 749 people have and that's about to become 750.

[50pawelcent]

@MrCfm75 im one of the 770 that also needs :D

[dancecamerondance123]

@MrCfm75 LSD is highly overrated and is responsible for thousands of cases of psychosis and schizophrenia. I will stick to my shrooms ;)

[Sekler007]

@MrCfm75 or peyote! ;)

[elbuenodemi]

@MrCfm75 5 people don't know anything 'about music

[lucaslmgv]

I picture a man and a woman, high on LSD, swimming on the ocean in a full moon night. They try to reach the moon reflex on the water, but they end up going deeper and deeper, until they drown.

[10inchesTV]

@lucaslmgv I picture a couple having sex on the beach. Close enough.

[JLIV461]

@lucaslmgv , That's cool. Not what I pictured; better. Thanks.

[EGMAG]

@lucaslmgv

Now picture it drug free,,,,it is so much gooder!

[lucaslmgv]

@EGMAG

It's a song written by Jim Morrisson, drugs are essential on it's interpretation.

[overman926]

@lucaslmgv I think you're wrong.

[lucaslmgv]

@overman926

I'm wrong because I picture that inside my mind? Oh, ok... I'll picture something else then...

[overman926]

@lucaslmgv What? No, I think you're wrong about drugs being essential to it's interpretation.

[lucaslmgv]

@overman926

Oh, ok. Yeah, maybe you're right. I don't know. I usually interpret songs based on the personal influences of the artists. Anyways...

[Irishhoodlum000]

Thank you LSD, we wouldnt have this song or the doors if it werent for you..

[thedoors181]

@tdtukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkl kallate estupido vete ala *}?$

[Easleytee]

@bittgrier

Saw Jim and the boys live in 1970...Felt Forum NYC.

When Jim walked on stage in desert boots, peasant shirt, beard and and a beer in hand...he literally changed the dynamic of the room.

[NoForRice]

[josephbob27]

If you guys enjoy the doors and other classic rock bands check out my channel for some good covers, The doors is vocal covers, drums are the other bands on there!

[SuperMaskedsuperstar]

Jim Morrison and The Doors awesome.Love all the music unique sound best ever.

[AzarokV]

[RottenRooster08]

Rare to see song writer/musicans this good with the younger generation today...

[Masahiro9891]

3 people weren't penetrated by the city.

[XtraZMezmerize]

[Sprichtube]

I find Robbie's slide guitar awesomely haunting in his one!

[jyac328]

i can't stop listening to the doors, does anyone know where i could get any counciling for doors music?

[dakinedakineman]

@jyac328  listen to more doors easy

[kjadee31]

@jyac328 i havent been able to for like 2 years, i just dont want to hear anything else. everything else seems like trash after i heard these guys.

[ariesscorpiorising]

@Zero5twelve987 Dweeeeeb.  ;-D

[lvivboi]

let's swim to tha mooooooon

[terridevi]

Marilyn Manson said, "Morrison's voice is like a beautiful pond for anything to drown in."

[YoAchilles]

@terridevi Why on God's great Earth would you ever, ever think about mentioning that man on a beautiful video like this? As much as I believe that Morrison's voice may be "like a beautiful pond for anything to drown in", I can't credit that sort of quote to a disgusting man like Marilyn Manson.

[CheshireCatFun]

@YoAchilles Who the hell just mentioned Marilyn Manson!?!?!

[skiparoundincircles]

The lyrics to this song are amazing :D

[dakinedakineman]

parked beside the ocean fried as hell

[PrimalStones]

I love it when Jim get's lost in the music and just goes crazy! XD

[surroundedbyasses]

Almost as good as Indian Summer.

[greedmark67]

Let's climb to the tide!

[AllyBScot]

"Falling through wet forests." God this song is great when you are high!

[OlesjVBilous]

drop acid and look at the moon and the stars on a rooftop, then listen to this song. an ocean of meaning will be revealed to you

[Marekitten59]

this was a poem Jim wrote then we know it made him very rich!!!

[piolinminezota]

la rola preferida del piolin 

[lenusky9]

Yeaaah0

[MrLizzardking420]

morison and manzarich front men and krieger was the talent

[hunteronastick1]

@MrLizzardking420 riiiiiiiiiight

[theshag20]

@MrLizzardking420 whats densmore chop liver tell you what he was quite but a gud drummer

[jmb92555]

@theshag20

absofuckinglutely

[upthewazzu]

@theshag20 Densmore reminds me of ( police drummer ) Stuart Copeland , different rhythms and style that most rock drummers don't have . he also improvised with Jim's lyrics live, and you don't just do that it's a gift he is brilliant.

[TheBrilliantGeniuses]

i looked under chairs, i looked under tables...

[Stuie1973]

nothing like a suicide pact love song... do they get that in spain?

[terricola59]

[ariesscorpiorising]

[alyssahill49]

@bchick1987 Do worms crawl throught your head often? If so, you should seek medical attention.

[1903esther]

mooie tekst, da s Jim de dichter!!!!!

[TheDoorsthunder]

Jim and Robbie did great writing songs

this one is Jim's

[Johnzoil]

Has Rob Krieger just been helped to escape from a mental institution in this photo?

[Finnstudios]

@Johnzoil No, He's a Jedi.

[Nirvana1TheDoors]

"On our....Moonlight Drive"

[CanKuman8]

Jim Morrison god bless you

[nsirgado]

the lizard king

[Nirvana1TheDoors]

Jim Morrison is amazing

[kittygodmother]

The first time I played this song for Daddy, he was just out of jail, taking a bubble bath, the big badf outlaw biker splashing in the suds, the baby kitties were in the bathroom with him and he was yelling, "WILD KITTIES, WILD KITTIES!" to make them run around, and he suddenly stopped when he heard the opening bars of this song and quietly asked, "Mommy, would you please turn this up loud?" Did it sound so fabulous bouncing off the bare walls of the RG Bar ranch house? Yeah, baby!!!!

[arielrebelfan1]

im 54 mintunes old... just got home with my mom from the hosipital and i love the doors!!! <3

[citizenfitz]

The first song ever recorded by the Doors. And if Robby Krieger isn't one of the most underrated guitarists in rock I don't know who is.

[reynolds714]

@citizenfitz the most underrated guitarist in rock is so underrated youll never hear of him, there appreciate the music

[citizenfitz]

@reynolds714 Thanks for your opinion.

[Johnzoil]

@citizenfitz Not to mention underrated song writer.

[bmet012]

This is my all favorite Doors song Moonlight Drive rocks my world.

[noobpowner901]

Great song, but does anyone agree that the bonus version on the first album is better?

[callicolady]

@ghostlover18 damn right!!!....this song conjures-up a really strong mental image of me and my partner making-out in a convertible parked on the beach - it's just magic ...got to one of the best 'love songs' ever, but it also has a 'twist' to it lyrics-wise ......it's a cosmic love song :)

[scottblaylock7]

this song was playing on the boat, late at night on Cass Lake, lightning at the west from the coming storm, clear and star-lit above as I was swimming with a girl i had just met, hot and still out, no waves - our eyes met with a kiss and later i learned how to survive a broken heart. : ) fuel for a blues-man ~

[ariesscorpiorising]

@scottblaylock7 Ya PANSY!!!!! HaHaHAAAAAAHH!!!!!

[ElColombianGuy]

i need a bullet to kill a bieber fan

[moonlily1]

@ElColombianGuy since Beiber fans are generally aged 7-14, that's pretty damn twisted. You cannot possibly expect a 12 year old to jam out on 'the soft parade'.

[Finnstudios]

@moonlily1 I am 13, I love the doors

[captainkill1]

@Finnstudios : a very poetic band. 

[aquadog101]

@moonlily1 dude hold that comment, the Doors are so awesome that they are able to transcend time, thier music grips me like a drug, no matter how hard i try i cant satisfy the craving they give me, its like somewhere in a place i cant reach there is an itch that only morrison's voice can soothe..i'm 15 but i dont feel cocky liking this music the doors are still very beautiful and can very smoothly attract the love of our younger generation

[moonlily1]

@aquadog101 didn't call anyone cocky; my point was, he says he wants to kill justin beiber fans, so basically he would be gunning down a bunch 12-yr. olds. Bubble gum music has it's place in the world; it's okay for kids to like it, but embarrassing if you're over a certain age. I never said a 15 yr. old can't or shouldn't like the doors.

[aquadog101]

@moonlily1 no no lol i didnt mean to say that you were saying anyone that was cocky i was refering to the people who are my age and look down on others who dont "appriciate" this music. I agree with your comment about how bubblegum music is ok to like I just misunderstood and thought that you were saying that the doors were loosing thier holding on kids my age but you've cleared that up

[Stellastar1972]

Love this. Gets me hot!

[purpleGlitter32]

gosssssshhhhhh he is a cuuuutee poet!!:]

[jamesabruzzi]

Jim Morrison would be 67 today if he hadn't had his "accident" back in '70. Long Live Morrison & The Doors!
