Moonlight drive

C'est à la piste 5 qu'advient l'originale scission de l'album : Un poème. Car Jim est une rock star, certes mais aussi et avant tout un poète. "Horses lattitudes" est un long poème qu'il a écrit quand il était jeune. Dans la suite de l'album, les deux titres : "Moonlight drive" et "People are strange" sont des classiques. La fin de l'album est magistrale : "When the music's over" propulse l'album très haut, de la même façon que "The end" avait transformé le premier album.

CE MORCEAU EST EXTRAORDINAIRE: JIM CHANTE AU TOP NIVEAU

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh
Let's climb through the tide
Penetrate the evening
That the city sleeps to hide
Let's swim out tonight, love
It's our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean
On our moonlight drive

Let's swim to the moon, uh huh
Let's climb through the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds
That lap against our side
Nothin' left open
And no time to decide
We've stepped into a river
On our moonlight drive

Let's swim to the moon
Let's climb through the tide
You reach your hand to hold me
But I can't be your guide
Easy, I love you
As I watch you glide
Falling through wet forests
On our moonlight drive, baby
Moonlight drive

Come on, baby, gonna take a little ride
Down, down by the ocean side
Gonna get real close
Get real tight
Baby gonna drown tonight
Goin' down, down, down

STRANGE DAY

STRANGE DAY
Strange day est le deuxième album des Doors qui parrut la même année que le précédent (1967):

1-Strange Days /****
2- You're Lost Little Girl /*
3- Love Me Two Times / *****
4- Unhappy Girl /***
5- Horse Latitudes / *
6- Moonlight Drive / *****
7- People Are Strange / *****
8- My Eyes Have Seen You / ***
9- I Can't See Your Face In My Mind / *
10- When The Music's Over/*****



MOONLIGHT DRIVE est le tout premier morceau des Doors mais pour je ne sais quelles raisons, il est sur le deuxième album. (Surment parce que le style du morceau ne correspondait pas avec le premier album)






Strange days constitue le deuxième album des Doors, après un superbe premier album The Doors, le groupe a fait une ascension fulgurante dans le monde du rock américain. Jim Morrisson est désormais une rock star. Ce deuxième album pose dès la première chanson une atmosphère désormais caractéristique des Doors et chère à Jim. Dans les trois chansons suivantes, on peur remarquer "You're lost little girl", chanson relaxante et poétique, mais aussi "Love me two times" qui est, pour moi, une de leurs musiques les plus entraînantes

Soul kitchen

Le "Soul kitchen" était un bar restarant où Jim aimait bien passer son temps à fumer et picoler.

Il en a donc fait une chanson:


Well, the clock says it's time to close now
I guess I'd better go now
I'd really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still one place to go

Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves

Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget

Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I'll wander baby
Stumblin' in the neon groves

Well the clock says it's time to close now
I know I have to go now
I really want to stay here
All night, all night, all night

Break on through

You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Chased our pleasure here
Dug our treasure there
Still recall
Time we cried
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, yeah!

Wow!
Wow!

Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She get
She get
She get
She get high



I found an island in your arms
Country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lie
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, yeah!
All right!

Yeah, made the scene
Week to week
Day to day
Hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide

Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
