I love the intermission in between the first "Love to hear the wind cry" and "Wishful sinful" with the whole snake charmer music! |

nah, 'fraid not, stowaway465. It's not about camping. I think it's about getting away from the draft and the war. I think "the big red tree" could mean like a giant redwood tree. Of course, then again, Canada does look like a tree too. |

| The Doors – Horse Latitudes Lyrics
| 16 years ago
|
|
I think it is about war, because in the Horse Latitudes, it would've been tough to move forward without sacrifing something more inferior. The sailors (similar to soldiers in a war) had to jettison the horses (the more inferior soldiers) so they could move on. |

| Creedence Clearwater Revival – Green River Lyrics

Every time I hear that line, "you're gonna find the world is smouldrin'..." I think of this short story I heard last year: "The Big Two-Hearted River". It's about this slightly shell-shocked soldier returning from war and finding his hometown and nearly everything around him is almost gone or is smouldering to ashes. The opening notes to this song kick ass too. |

If you have The Very Best Of The Doors, the first lyrics are actually nearly inaudible, but it's "Comin' atcha (at ya)!" |

You haven't heard "Light My Fire" until you've heard the original one. The original (You can listen to it (if unfortunately you don't have the original LP) if you buy The Very Best Of The Doors) has the opening drumsmack (John Densmore) and Ray playing in a carnival organ- type of music. |

I find it amusing. 2 guys walk into a bar, and one's wise to the people in the bar, and the other one's clueless about the cross-dressers and later finds out he was dancing with a man. |

| Kansas – Song For America Lyrics
| 17 years ago

Yep, and it's also referring to something else. "Rape, kill, and tear asunder, chop the forest, plow it under" refers to deforestation and the degradation of land.
"Highways scar the mountainsides, buildings to the sky...Houses stand in endless rows, sea to shining sea"
refers to the constant use of Earth's resources and beauty than it can reproduce. Every time I see a subdivision going up, I think of this song because the people from St. Louis (across the river. "Across the sea, there came a multitude...") come to live here and building companies that also have factories bring them to this paradise also decide to tear down trees to make way for land and if the land's not perfect, they degrade it even more with their cheap high-income housing and mansions. Makes me sick. |

This song's about somebody's wife who's trying to leave him behind and start a new life, but he manages to catch the train by swinging onto caboose on a mule. It's also about the Katy, or the MKT, which is the Missouri, Kansas, and Texas Railway. There are still places in the Midwest where the old train stations still are. This is the opening to the "Blues Brothers". |

It's because Joey saw rich brats, and he hated them because Joey had a hard life with his parents being divorced and having 1 brother. |

I don't think it's, "Do it, Robby" (referrfing to Robby Krieger)
It's, "Good, Robby, good", praising Robby on his playing. |
