This song is probably really of a case of you had to be there.  Not then, but there.  The Doors were SoCal.  This a song that captures the feeling of what it was like to be there, then.  Heading to the beach, in the middle of the night, the thrill and the excitement of getting and being there.

Glad I was, and I love this song, because it still takes me back to that time and place.

I can't understand the too-low rating for this song. Jim Morrison was one of the sexiest-sounding, albeit most messed up people of the twentieth century.


Maybe to you he was; to me, the 20th century had many, many more interesting, sexy, and talented figures than Jim Morrison.
 
I wouldn't say "messed up", that description belongs to the likes of Charlie Manson.  Jim Morrison was eccentric, as were and are so many talented genii in this benighted world of ours.  Don't ever forget:  his talents as a poet, musician and all around stage performer will continue to frame him as an Icon for that age of wonderment.

These guys could really nail it sometimes. As was mentioned here before, their blues touches are really nice.

Well, I seldom turn off RP unless I have to get up from my desk, but the The Kinks, The Who, CSN, and now The Doors within less than an hour finally does it for me. I listen to RP to get away from "classic rock". I don't mind a deep cut maybe once a day, but "Victoria," "Love, Reign O'er Me," "Helplessly Hoping," and "Moonlight Drive"? Did RP get bought by ClearChannel when we weren't looking?

We are down to 9.2% in our attempt to marginalize the fools who would rate this a 1.

And that alone is enough for a five or higher?  I think not.

This album is very well obtained, all the songs that are enclosed here disclose a period particularly fertile and inspired that this band "The Doors" (one of my preferences without a doubt!) crossed in 1967;  therefore i would detach here the song of my election enclosed in this album that is "You're Lost Little Girl", the one that more sensetizes for me and perhaps that it withholds the personal record of hearings between all of this album; this is a mere personal point of view that i admit to be able to be subject to the best opinion, considering in such difficult way the choice, in a similar way that the songs are immensely rich all that compose this album

album "Strange Days" (1967)

Doors = automatic 1 or 2, except for one song of theirs, which I won't mention for fear RP will play it.

From one of my two most-favorite Doors' LPs (the first being their debut).

Gotta say, though, they were blown off the stage by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown!

Looks like these two songs are tied together for good, because once again this is following Winston's version of Spanish Caravan...


I think Riders on the Storm would be a nice one to follow Winston's Spanish Caravan too....
