| The Doors – Love Her Madly Lyrics

OK, Robby Krieger wrote this song about his future wife, Lynn. They too had a rocky relationship at times, at least at this time. Jim Morrison's influence was his philosophy of putting things in songs that would confuse the listener. Apparently while living in Florida, he became fond of horse racing. Seven being a lucky number, the line "7 horses seem to be on the Mark" was likely HIS idea, something that didn't fit the rest of the song. Jim Morrison liked doing that, inserting lines that didn't fit the rest of the song and would make listeners think. |

Pam Courson and Jim Morrison had a notoriously volatile relationship, with fighting and making up. I saw in a biography that she was constantly "walking out the door", leaving him in a fit of rage, only to return. He probably had many women. I think she had a hold over him that he couldn't shake. They obviously had common "interests", which likely kept them going back to each other. He'd think he didn't love her but then he'd love her all over again when she came back. |

Back in the late 60s and early 70s (maybe right through the end of the 70s), L.A. was, for lack of a better term, cesspool of craziness - anything could happen at any time and anything could be found at any time, whatever one is looking for. I think it was Jim's favorite place for that reason. I don't know if anyone mentioned this but "mojo" is also an old slang jazz term for sex. (Most people mention it being an anagram for his name.). Many of the terms used in The Doors songs come from older jazz and blues tunes/lyrics. They could possibly be used because most people of today don't know what they mean and it sounds cryptic. Once again the keyboard playing is superb - Ray Manzarek ranks high in his talents. What I like about Jim Morrison's singing is it doesn't actually have a set rhythm but has a "jumpy" one - a 2nd chorus that's repeated doesn't sound the same as the 1st - he'll always add a little something/ changing up the rhythm. |

I too can't believe there aren't more comments on this on this song! I initially arrived on this site looking for meaning of the line, "7 horses seem to be on the Mark." I mean, what's up with that? It's like all the lyrics in the song flow except that one line. BUT this is one of the best keyboard playing pieces of Ray Manzarek's career - and one of his favorites too, from what I saw on a biography. He has that trademark "zing" at the end of each of his pieces if you listen for it. I listen just for his keyboard playing. |

Some of the song's meaning is obvious but this escapes me: "....You got to beep a gunk a chucha
Honk konk konk
You got to each you puna
Each you bop a luba
Each you all bump a kechonk
Ease sum konk..." perhaps, like the Beatles, some of the lyrics admittedly were just nonsense, not meant to have any meaning...?? |

I find this song to have one of the most deepest meanings of any of the Beatles songs. George was profoundly influenced by Ravi Shankar(sp?) and his experiences in India, physically, psychologically, and spiritually. George was a simple dude, not terribly into material wealth but very much into expanding the mind and creating a better world for everyone. This is what he means when he says not to wait until it's too late and you pass away. He even asks you to question yourself, saying "are you one of them?", meaning the people that hide themselves behind the walls of the illusion, never glimpsing the truth..... he truly believed that love could change the world - and it probably could. |

Can anyone comment on the opening of this song, the words SHOOT ME, over and over, other than a drug reference? When I first heard it, I thought it was rather prophetic, no offense intended. I guess he had it both ways - he probably shot himself up and indeed, somebody did shoot him! Any ideas? Do those words connect to the rest of the song in any way? |

This song was written when Paul McCartney and Jane Asher first began to experience distance between them, emotionally and physically. She wanted her life as an actress, not to be at his beck and call, which is what he wanted. There was also a great divide between Paul McCartney and Jane Asher as she was rather straightlaced compared to Linda, Paul's first wife. I don't think Jane Asher was a pot smoker or drug user, wanting to experiment, something that was a big part of Paul's life. I think they even lived together with Jane's brother Peter in a flat (parents too?). I guess he thought he knew her but what did he know, indeed? |

@[elBajista:24927] In verse 3, It's BAD production... has nothing to do with bags. For real, Yoko Ono had been in a car accident and her hospital bed was brought to the set when they were recording this so that's why the reference to "Ono sideboard" was made. |

Jim Morrison songs always had a component of darkness. I think this song is about life but more about that and moving to "the other side". Of course much of his poetry was likely influenced by drugs or alcohol. I think that many of his songs have portions which really are fillers and don't have much meaning, like many other artists of that time including the Beatles. This was even admitted to by a band member (they stated that some of the lyrics were just nonsense). Tripping or doing drugs can be a wonderful way to create visions and ideas, connecting them together regardless of whether they make sense or not. However a lot of this song does make sense and is likely about life and death, again that darkness that comes out in his songs and poetry. |

Jim Morrison was hassled by law-enforcement, fans, and many other people/ even had trouble with his record labels. As a grower of hyacinth, I can tell you they are poisonous to touch ..NO KIDDING. He was always looking for a way to escape so it's no surprise that he would have chosen something poisonous which may be synonymous with drugs. Drugs don't expect anything out of you, they are a friend, always there when you need them but they don't need you. |
