The Doors Yes, The River Knows

[thoughtbringer]

this song reminds me of the book Siddhartha. when he tried to drown himself in the river and then heard the river talking... great book and song anyway

[fernman23]

jameshippiekid, your teack selesctions great

peace.

[jkzy89]

When you are feeling down, this works wonders

[jimmy8853]

PLEAS BELIVE ME....IF U DONT NEED ME.....

[jimmy8853]

thisis one of my absolute fav songs.......

[blackyfloyd]

homophobes need to get reamed and get it over with...yawn.

[LedZeppelin420x]

@blackyfloyd You cant judge them, its just there beliefs and being individuals, im personally not racist or any of that shit, but its just what they believe. And can i ask how that relates to The Doors?

[TheTrident003]

u dont need drugs to enjoy the doors .... u need the doors to enjoy drugs

[haha12345678ytr]

i forgot to press like so when i clicked on a different doors song i had to come back just to press the button

[Adigitayy]

Favorite song <3

[smackrogers]

jim morrison is a drunkard disguised as a poet, whatta faggot.

[EasyRiderRomar]

lol 2 people on television both agreed that the doors were untalented.

wtf? xd

[Khorney]

@EasyRiderRomar

Obviously they were talented enough to be famous all over the world though :)

[BlaZe941025]

@EasyRiderRomar dont watch television

[cking636]

@EasyRiderRomar do you believe everything you see on TV?

[EasyRiderRomar]

@cking636

No i disagreed with them

[naotemnenhumnomedipo]

beautiful!!!

[RcUniverseGuy]

Same here and its as amazing as ever

[hitmansan]

long time ago I've heard this song, fabulous

[PsychadelicElephant]

hate the kind of people that think drugs make things better that you enjoy things more under the influence of drugs, somethings I belive u enjoy on another level but music like this u dont need no drugs to enjoy more, the music is the drug too me, stick to pot kids,

[missopan]

This song makes me wanna embark on a lsd trip..

[FRAMEDSKATEKREW69]

It's mystic heated wine lol

[shadow20101]

God amongst men. Should I say anymore?

[tomeeeee1]

Jim didnt need drugs, either. He was perhaps Killed by J. Edgar Hoover.? Jim was a threat to the corruptations/corparations. Maybe?

[AmethystMario]

@tomeeeee1 No he died of drugs, the proof was all there, celebrities do drugs, it's their way life, as much as I love and admire Jim I'll admit that.

[tomeeeee1]

@AmethystMario I dont think you understand how worried the Gov. was. This was 1970-71 they were really afraid of the kids and of revolution. You have to understand the gov at the time. Yes, Jim drank alot, but you have to understand what a standing gov will do to stay in power. Jim was buried in a France! France invented modern revolution. Can you say Napolean?

[PsychadelicElephant]

yeh so when he finnaly moved away from the states they said man hes a threat we need to go to paris and kill him

[JackTumult]

@PsychadelicElephant - Was it the illuminati that made him mistake heroin for cocaine and overdose? Just enjoy the music. Or if you want to take it a step further go enjoy a dalliance in Montparnasse cemetery with a cute girl, read some William Blake to one another and take some mescaline.

[PsychadelicElephant]

wh yare u talkin too me

[KEVINBOLGER28]

@JackTumult he was part of the brotherhood like all music that's why music its getting worse and worse because brothers suck but don't worrie because falseness doesn't last forever 

[SportstalkwithMac]

one of my five favorite doors songs easily

[nisreenomarmobayed]

jim's voice

[1991thegman]

@RubberSoul093 try it with drugs, you'll go insane :D

[mysticarbol]

welll////i am pretty stoned..

[operalover67]

the river, not me...

[oldiesbutgoodies67]

When are the surviving Doors going to release a CD of their "Love Songs..." which will sell quite well with people that can't stand Jimbo's weirdness...Dan O'Niallain

[makaveli1358]

I had no idea this song was so popular. Great song

[mrhuntie1]

A song full of mystery and hidden depths, just like the river....enhanced by some wonderful changes in key.... Superb!

[SuckmyvertBMXstyle]

this is music anyone else agree?

[pacnwcomre1]

My book will be out on Amazon in the next 10 days. Four and a half year effort and already a year late. There has never been a book written like it. "Some Are Born to Endless Night: Jim Morrison, Visions of Apocalypse and Transcendence."

The song was written by Robbi Krieger which was composed as a reference to Morrison himself who was drinking too much.

In an altenate view he wants to drown and die and go to another level of consciousness. Nietzsche. "Free to die and free in death!"

[igdecastro]

Really nice as all of the doors, but can anybody explain what is he talking about for non-english speakers??. I understand the lyrics but not the meaning...

[RubberSoul093]

I don't need drugs to enjoy this! Just to enhance it.

[LedZeppelin420x]

@RubberSoul093 Well said my friend

[stardark113055]

in vermont when it rains the brooks and rivers flow,,,,on and on they go.

[portcityperson]

Justin Beiber.

[SpunkBurnsTreesDaily]

@portcityperson HAHA good joke

[Ervelen]

@portcityperson Dude, come on, just compare YOUR musical choice (justin bieber) to ours (THE DOORS). Now it is done, kill yourself.

[haha12345678ytr]

@portcityperson why do you keep saying the evil ones name?

[portcityperson]

Justin Beiber.

[EleosThese123]

@portcityperson commit suicide.



[portcityperson]

@EleosThese123 Well, I thought by listening to this for hours on end would do it, but I guess maybe a listening of The Soft Parade should do the trick... I will keep you posted. Oh, and Justin Beiber.

[EleosThese123]

@portcityperson oh damn,there are indeed people like you in the world. shame.

go listen to your bitches and leave pure music and poetry to the people who can understand it.

Oh, and.. JIM MORRISON!

[portcityperson]

@EleosThese123 Who's Jen Merryton. Yes, The Beiber Knows. Please Belieb me!

[EleosThese123]

@portcityperson oh now its obvious.your mother hits you hard and your dad cant help you because he is too drunk.

[haha12345678ytr]

@portcityperson jen merryton???

[warmswarm]

This has always been one of my favourite Doors songs. Beautifully played and sung, especially the guitar solo, absolute MAGIC.

Oh, and it is definitely "mystic heated wine". (^_^)

[Aic1944]

The Doors and Type O Negative. Weird combo, but great in it's own way. Good for Summer, Fall, Winter, Spring etc.

[xiuhcoatl817]

YOUR GOD DAM RIGHT JIM THE RIVER KNOWS

[cmskid20]

i want this song played at my funeral

[Flagellator1974]

dislike-meter is only good for showing the number of consume-idiots every time we listen to this song

[a01543z]

i love hearing doors in the summer!i dont know why but i have connected their music with summer....

[THEPaintballKidd]

@a01543z yeah me too! espicailly when the sun starts to go down over the horizon

[Hetubaabaa]

Im so euphoric when i listen to this. The Doors is absolutely beatiful band. Rest in peace Jim, i admire you.

[slados1]

Robby does some fine work on this one....underestimated Doors song for sure. Oh...if I only could go back in time.

[me81angie]

One of the greaters songs ever....

[dasshha]

i promised i would drown myself in mystic-heated wine :)

[aramosmd]

Haunting

[DiJareJaSRB]

So calm music

[dreadss64]

The Doors are unlike any other band

[BedazzleGlitterGal]

please believe me, the river told me...

[MsConeSka]

this song transports me

[DylanHughesss]

the river is life

[nosajj12345]

Jim Morrison was punk rock before there even was punk rock.

[kraljina888]

Jim has perfect voice, so dark, so beautiful and so unique. I just don't know how to describe the feeling I have while listening to him.

[LilTortillaBoy420]

Dont drink wine no more, but I Still gonna bump this song.

[sourjaws]

5 people prefer normal wine

[josozmija]

Only river knows why are there 5 dislikes

[d3f2r1]

Thumbs up if you think that 'Waiting For the Sun' is their best album too. 

[manutdtreble7]

5 people hopefully get haunted, if such a thing existed; or atleast they should get better music taste. If you can't like this theres a big problem with your life...

[shilltheshillXXX]

Sinatra should have sung this--- one of Jim's favorites, but when you think of what it took for him to cover the Beatles..at least Jim could write his own songs...and make tribute to his inspirations....

[TheSquadalahMan]

Mr. Mojo Risin' , Gotta keep on risin'

[greginold]

@TheSquadalahMan Eughyeah?

[TheSquadalahMan]

@greginold Awh C'mon!

[urmydarkstar]

@warriorsfunny yeah. everybody thinks that way. but one day you'll wake up and realize that your old and it's sooner than you think.

[AngeloCordisco]

This is my favorite song from the Doors at all times!!!! R.I.P. Jim Morrison. You ARE the Lizard king!

[92jdeg]

i should be in a robe with a glass of wine

[buel7]

This hour heard on the radio in the Netherlands

[urmydarkstar]

[ariesscorpiorising]

@urmydarkstar Oh shit, what have you DONE???

[lildrummerboy2112]

So under appreciated

[Guyshachar1]

[ariesscorpiorising]

@Guyshachar1 I'm in your ASS buddy. Sure is wiffy in here!! ;(

[RIPJimM]

[sexisepi]

I promised I would drown myself in mystic heated wine

[CHARLESTHEATHEIST]

@sexisepi Thats one thing he did keep his word on...

[sexisepi]

@CHARLESTHEATHEIST Yeah, sad but true :/

[BigBlunts4TW]

@sexisepi or like get tied to a tree, and poured battery acid all over yur body. and start gashing at yur body parts with a bowey knife

[AmethystMario]

@sexisepi MYSTICATED not mystic heated

[sexisepi]

@AmethystMario Nope, it's definitely mystic heated not mysticated.

[natalieanne101]

@sexisepi aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha­

[ilikeblondie]

@sexisepi its mysticated. even if you google search the lyrics on the first page there are only two pages that say mystic heated. the rest say mysticated.

[sexisepi]

@ilikeblondie What!?:D I don't give a shit if google says mysticated because Jim Morrison says mystic heated and that's it. There must be something wrong with your hearing dear :)

[ilikeblondie]

@sexisepi actually I do apologize your right :P I put it through Wave pad and made it accappella and you can hear the H in it haha sorry :P

[sexisepi]

@ilikeblondie That's okay mate ;)

[edensdarkpoet]

@sexisepi mysticated wine

[sexisepi]

@edensdarkpoet No it's definitely mystic heated not mysticated.

[bluebow68]

@edensdarkpoet No! ..I think you'll find it's...Mr.peters mine......b,....hahahaha!!!!!!

[MATTisAkoala]

@sexisepi lol i think that's EVERYONE'S favorite lyric.

[sexisepi]

@MATTisAkoala haha you're probably right :)

[mussman717word]

Why don't they ever play this on FM radio?

[TheGlassHouses]

@mussman717word because the masses can't handle something this beautiful. it's too well-crafted, to intricate, to smooth. The big-wigs who run advertising don't care about what's good, or they'd play nothing but floyd, the beatles and the doors all day. They care what's hot and it's a damn shame but that's why the record was invented :D long live the greatest music in the history of man!

[TheClam88]

@mussman717word They're too busy playing ac/dc or springsteen.

[mussman717word]

@TheClam88

That is so unfortunately true.

[mrmojorisin711]

Fee Fi Fo river flow

[Hardrada88]

amazing

[sanderveendam]

I think waiting for the sun is the best album rythmly. Poetly: the soft parade. Blues: l.a. woman. rock: the doors/morrison hotel. pschycedelich: strange days. The doors are the best in every kind of real music.

[bmxrider43256]

5 people are not true Doors fans

[chaplin270]

this is Jim all the way man Krieger did light my fire not this

[EIFanGirl]

@chaplin270

No, Robby wrote the lyrics to this song and for Light My Fire, Robby wrote the 1st verse and chorus and Jim wrote the 2nd verse.

[cmskid20]

i'll Be damned if this song isn't playing at my funeral

[chillray2009]

i have been a long time fan of the doors, and it wasnt till i got the perception box set that i heard this song, i love it. so relaxing and beautiful.

[Datnigro]

True

[TheEyesOFsilence]

I love Jim as much as a man can love another man.

[Flagellator1974]

@TheEyesOFsilence

one of the best opinions for Doors and Jim !!

[thetruesurvive]

@TheEyesOFsilence what a gay thing to say

[Tigerbarsch]

@TheEyesOFsilence

you forget "...if he's not gay". Or!? :D

[agentike2]

@TheEyesOFsilence in NY...thats too close!

[ariesscorpiorising]

Please believe me, the river told me, Imhotep is under your bed- HOLY BITCH!!!  ;O

[Sandra3594]

I love this song, just gives me chills down my spine! Jim had such a beautiful baritone voice.

[CanKuman8]

one of the best The Doors song

[unmemorablehero]

One of my absolute favorites! Fantastic song!

[psychedeliclizard1]

i think the thing that makes music like this so great is that it stands the test of time while pop stars fade and die every couple of years

[vesidude]

Another timeless classic.

[Exiles800]

I can see Jim singing it in church. Keep the ceremonial wine from him beforehand though lol.

- Morrison Beats Flashing Rap 41 Years Later

[Vigilantoneful]

@danielglencer Wouldn't dream of it.

[AW4L]

brilliant, this song is such a trance.

[ironmaiden6ification]

I absolutely LOVE The Doors. Their music is awesome and just I don't know I can't explain it it has a reservation in my heart. THis song reminds me of this past summer sitting on the river bank and tokin a bowl :)

[ariesscorpiorising]

BBBRRRRRRRRRRRUUUNDEL FLYYYYYYYYYYYYYIIIIIEEEEE!!  :D

[Chaguinoh]

@ozzyrocks45 god damned missclickers

[HodgsonWESTHAM]

the best doors song. everything about it is amazing.

[TheTorontoMusician]

I absolutely love the doors, and I haven't heard this song unitil now. And I must say...The Doors never cease to amaze me!

[EduardHeinrichAlfons]

i heard a lot of rock music - in my opinion the doors are the most exciting band ever.

I guess the lyrics are influenced be Herman Hesse. I always felt that way when i was standing on a bridge and felt the river flow under my feet.

For me the voice of JM is the one that touches me most.

E J
