JIM MORRISON --- THE AMERICAN NIGHT

[PipeAdams]

...you

[jaedemas]

Jimbo is to be seen

[NoogaNoochPT]

R.I.P. (Return if possible) Jim

[lmdavis15]

Thank you Jim.

[bsuipx]

I don't understand why the lyrics and music are what they are. But I perfectly feel the purpose of this creation. This is the only meaning of any art- to touch your soul in whatever way.

Jim indeed pushed the notion of Freedom as far as no one else has. And he keeps pushing it through all of us who feel our own freedom by experiencing him.

[mindfulmusic78]

Brilliant!

[QueenOfTheHighway71]

After a night of backpains his voice is soothing and makes me feel like facing another day. Thanks, Jim! 

[PipeAdams]

@QueenOfTheHighway71 possibly the lamest comment i've ever read

[QueenOfTheHighway71]

@PipeAdams Who the fuck cares what you think!

[amelie100able]

Cet homme est d' une beaute incroyable!!!je t'aime Jim

[mountjeff]

[piotr1841]

I listen to that song for three days, and I can not get him away. I know almost the entire repertoire of the doors, but this piece is simply beautiful

[porkupine73]

[gwennwittig]

[njoel87]

OMBRE by LUDOVICO EINAUDI an italian pianist

[TheFlickreaper]

What a beautiful song.

[datruiktumeneer]

There are continents and shores which beseech our understanding And this morning before I sign off Like a calm veteran of the psychic war I want the old forms to reassert their sexual cool My only wish is to see Far Arden again… Underwaterfall, underwaterfall, underwaterfall He was only a man And his dedication extended to the last degree Poor pretentious soldier Come home Come home

[datruiktumeneer]

The American Night

The silk handkerchief was embroidered in China or Japan

Behind the steel curtain

And no one can cross the borderline w/out proper credentials

The cellular excitement has totally inspired our magic veteran

The land might end and all our friends would follow another program

Who are our friends?

Underwaterfall, underwaterfall, underwaterfall

[zauberdufr]

can please post the lyrics pleeeeaaaaaseeeeee?????? i just love this.!!! thank u

[skattman7]

@zauberdufr Just listen.

[marsoh]

@zauberdufr The lyrics is OMBRE by LUDOVICO EINAUDI an italian pianist

[zauberdufr]

@marsoh

[nir8vana]

This is masterpiece, never heard before, actually!

[MidnightatMidian]

Nice poem from jimbo..

Still a shame he's dead before time..

I think Far Arden is just a symbolic meaning for  a living paradise

[78kaira]

music, video and poetry, i like it so much !

[AlexxSR]

He is still alive in my world... I would give everything to hear him sing..

[QueenOfTheHighway71]

This piece brings me to tears each time...No words...Jim is the one and only...

[78kaira]

Far Arden might connect to the "Forest of Arden" in Shakespeare's "As You Like It," where it is described as, and proves to be, an environment conducive to metamorphosis and enchantment, like the forest in "A Midsummer Night's Dream." There is no known "Forest of Arden" on any map, but Shakespeare's mother's maiden name was Arden -- make of that what you will.

[iggypoprhcp]

@78kaira There was also a cartoon called Far Arden.

[DiamondsPussyNpearls]

& its all the ripping pins and needles & derailed hate thats been thrusted into me forcing me to become there work of yeah they love to see me split my spine and wrench out my limbs and shift my face up into my skull for the freedom of art & religin . i fucking love a huge mass of musicians. will they brand me for every song. i thought hitler looked funny and so do i thanx for enjoying mortifacation on Gods desaster.the humans wasted race u take away my free will for your justifacion. insane

[78kaira]

rest in peace my dear Jim

[78kaira]

Bird of prey, bird of prey

Flying high, flying high

In the summer sky

[karkarola]

This music mixed with Jim's voice and his words, create incredible feelings and thoughts...

[i6d9]

wwhoooh leuk joh...

[tofster666]

I dont like the music playing. Very off putting when your drying to listen to him. Confuses the imagery. Sorry, but he'd have wanted it to be played dry.

[mattstank]

Where is this audio from? I have An American Prayer, but this isn't on it.

[Nargdile]

@mattstank

Its from " the paris tapes" there is more of this on youtube

Cheers

[crystalship42]

Beautiful as always!!!!

[manuelitaly]

is the best!

[kyl671]

i have this on cd. i listen to it religously. if anyone wants to know how to get this on cd all you have to do is get a music recording software or multitrack recorder and just do it that was. i dont think your gonna find this anywhere. if you know someone that records music ask them to hook your computer up to it and record the audio of this. i wish i could meet the person who put this together. its absolutluy beautiful. yay jim!!

[datruiktumeneer]

Hi Kyle, I put this together 2 years ago...This is one track of a 2cd-set i made.Look for James Douglas Morrison - The Lords & the New creatures on isohunt and you can download it in a torrentfile. I'm seeding for two years now and have had more than 200.000 downloads so far,and still seeding...

This thing is spreading like an oilslick and its fun to read all over the internet that people like it! Check out my account, there's more... Bye

[kyl671]

so you edited his vocal track to fit in certain parts? cuz i can hear alot of cut and paste. your a genious my friend. i just learned the music track ombre on piano its a beautiful song. this combination that you made has made ME get back in the market of publishing my poetry. this was a tremendous inspiration, thanks friend :-)

[CdotHemp]

Yeah man, i listen toit while actually reading The American night. It's so empowering and inspirational, man.

[mattstank]

What album is this from? I have An American Prayer, but "American Night" is just a short track where he says, "all hail the american night"

[JOYERLOKE]

R.I.P Jim! u are the reason why im not afraid to pass away in thise life.u are the best james douglas morrison,u live on by ure poetry and ure music.

[smilesqueen]

Me encantaria que estuviera subtitulada al español . . .

[crystalship42]

@smilesqueen mira al canal de "desterratorializado" tiene muchos de los trabajos de The Doors y Jim subtitulados en espanol. Al menos yo podria decir que aunque no es igual, pero es un buen trabajo :-)

[jampuzzone]

Jim Morrison.. il mio mito!!

voce sensuale..ipnotica!

il sottofondo musicale molto bello, grande Einaudi!

<3

[steveomalley1]

[SEETER1]

[blueboo11]

Beautiful...tell me..who is playing to piano? The creator of this video? Jim? Ray? Its so fitting.

[xxxFennaxxx]

I thought the music is by Erik Satie!

[ItsBeatle]

No.

[matitarock]

bellissima

[QueenOfTheHighway71]

My only wish is to see Jim again. Come Home. Come here...I love you...peace on earth. Will you die for me? Eat me, this way...The End.

[IFPfilms]

he's a UCLA bruin

[ladymorrison13]

my only wish is to see Far Arden again. . .

[andresmogolla]

how can i download this song?? i couldnt find it anywhere

[BritaniaRuleAgain]

Buy the American Prayer album.

[christinaianiro]

that poem would be called "to come of age"

another great work of art :)

[BritaniaRuleAgain]

I belive this one is called "Far Arden".

[lioncheater]

nice,but my favorite mojo verse,please reply any1 who knows the title,'books on my lap on the bus gives me a hard-on'

[datruiktumeneer]

What you refer to is a phrase from one of his Notebook Poems called: Can we resolve the past.

You can find it in the book The American Night.

[christinaianiro]

Most beautiful poem I've ever heard

[BritaniaRuleAgain]

I've never seen another philosopher top his views on freedom. I've never seen another poet open the doors like him.

Under waterfall....

[Pat1391]

@BritaniaRuleAgain thomas jefferson.

[Macknsteez]

@BritaniaRuleAgain

He was a great man, but there are many philosophers and poets better then him, and he'd be the first to tell you that.

[zampa111]

speechless:((((

Rest In Peace Jimbo...

you are the one man...no replacement...

[PIENoondzki]

@zampa111 nice saying

[saintbone6969]

THE LIZARD KING..!!

[vikydabush]

simply amazing.... jim i miss you.....!!!!

[cyclonnb]

beauty is so simple

[sexy66stang]

Simply beautiful. I sat here listening and cried big plump tears pregnant with sadness of the loss of a truly magnificent gifted American poet. Rest in Peace Jim.

See you later.

[pammorrison1]

wow !!!! sooooo beautiful... thanks so much for this moment....:) Pam

[BritaniaRuleAgain]

He was a truely beautiful mind. Causing one to question for one's self,

[GIANLUCA764U]

it's really wonderful! do you know where can I find it if I want to buy the original version? in which album?

[KTXPUNK]

Yeah, I just cried like a little girl.

I miss Jim....

[imaginarymarmaseut]

Paul Rothchild said that they edited american prayer so badly just so the band could play to it, it would be like taking a stamp sized picasso and spreading it over a supermarket wall

[godwhyisthistaken]

was the piano in the oringinal recording?

[rebsojr3]

Jim wanted to be known by his full name James Douglas Morrison when he did his poetry

[Wurstwasser14]

I thought the doors had just an one hit wonder (light my fire)

but now im a total fan of this band! the doors isnt just music, its like a huge spectrum of "akkustc art"^^

[ItsBeatle]

Brilliant.

[ccc771]

very good i like this vmuch

[JLizard]

The proof is a name. BILL LOYER. Can you tell me who this really is? What was he doing between 1968 and 1971? Ok, no, I'll tell you. It is Jim Morrison formerly of the DOORS!

[PhoniexCountry]

why did you say such a thing?

[JLizard]

This is a great poem, very well done. Jim faked his death in 1971. I am 100% sure of this.

[Morrison64]

give me proof of ur 100% sureness,

GEt it real Even if jim had faked his death

he would not have many days to live with the way he was livin and how he treated his body during his time in LA and his doors days, his body would had been so used that any day he was living during 1970 was borrowed time, so yeah

[mitchgl]

no way dude, jim is gone

[AhYaOk]

its true. i saw him at the circus. they had him in a cage.

[JLizard]

You quit school to join the circus?

[AhYaOk]

Yeah I did.

[Mithra3712]

Very good mixed up !

A bit sad though...

[lafolle1976]

right

[Drusdrus1975]

I need the poem to translate it. Can someone help me??

[Drusdrus1975]

because i am spanish. nobody?

[Mithra3712]

Sé que puedes encontrar en España los escritos bilingües de Jim Morrison en varios volùmenes, en la coleccion Espiral/Fundamentos.

(Este software no me deja ponerte ni el link de la edicion, ni su e-mail !)

Pero este poema me parece ser una mezcla de varias gravaciones de Jim...

Aqui' en Francia, los escritos "oficiales" de Morrison has sido publicados en un solo volùmen bilingüe de màs de 600 pàginas, en la edicion Christian Bourgois (1993).

[Drusdrus1975]

Ya me di cuenta que era de las Paris tapes o de su cumpleaños en el 70. han cogido un poema, lo han recortado y metido algunas cosas de otros poemas. En realidad me lo llegué a creer. No obstante tengo curiosidad por saber qué han puesto en su boca al sacar unas frases de contexto. les ha quedado muy bien sin saber qué es lo que dice. Gracias y un saludo. (eres francesa? fantástico español).

[Drusdrus1975]

perdón. ahora sé que eres frances. fantástico español. PD. Me encantó parís.

[Mithra3712]

De nada ^^

Hablo español porque mis abuelos nacieron en España. Tambien lo estudié un poco, igual que estudié el inglés...

A ver si escucho este video màs atentivamente para intentar, quizàs, una traduccion, aunque sea minima... ;)

[Drusdrus1975]

where did you find it? Thanks friend

[fetpipan77]

[SilviaShine]

[Xboxliv3]

I am A Big Fan Of The Doors and Pink Floyd

I Had a dream where at the ending of the pompaii version of a "saucer full of secrets" jim morrison was saying the poem from a feast of friends and it went beautifully.

can you mix jim's voice with some of pink floyds insrumentals?

It Would Be Great If You Could.

[cutis1000]

Thanks for adding the piano to Jim's poetry. It works beautifully. It's mysterious, dark and probing of the unknown. Groovy...

[kyle7rn]

this is the most beautiful thing i've ever heard. its sad and touching. does anyone know where i can get this on cd, or record?

[jimmorrisonrebel]

beautiful!

[datruiktumeneer]
