@SecretTimeWarp Apparently Tightrope Ride started out as a tribute song to Brian Jones when Morrison was still alive. But after Jim died the surviving members of The Doors went back and changed the lyrics and made it a tribute song to both Jim and Brian Jones, with Ray venting anger towards Jim for following in the footsteps of Brian Jones to self-destruction. Other Voices was released after Jim died. Ray, Robby, and John had time to make that album their own statement, hence the title.

@jsmc11 How could that be? All of "Other Voices" was written while Jim was alive. They were rehearsing it before he died.
This is my favorite post Morrison song. John, Robby and Ray still rock!

This song is Ray venting anger and disappointment towards Jim Morrison destroying himself with alcohol and drugs. Brian Jones died on July 3, 1969 and Morrison died on July 3, 1971, thus the lyric. Morrison also walked around hotel window ledges outside many stories high while drunk on the road, so the stories go. Tightrope Ride was a fitting title. It was all about Jim, even on Other Voices.
