What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



I was probably still high from the first one (metaphorically of course) when this second album came out. Nearly as successful as the first, commercially, reaching #3 on the charts. Two singles of People Are Strange at #12 and Love Me Two Times at #25. The songs on here were actually left over from the sessions for their debut. Moonlight Drive is among the first Morrison compositions. Loving 5 tracks here, favorite was tough, but I gotta go with the 11 minute closer When The Music's Over. Similar to The End from the debut, I can just melt away in 11 minutes. A good buzz, headphones on, eyes closed. I'm somewhere else. Nothing I can say I didn't like at all on here. A couple where Morrison doesn't sing and I don't know who does, I guess are my least likeable. Think I rate this better than the debut and I was hooked. I was a young punk hanging out with a motorcycle gang in 1967. All they played was the Doors. The live clip for Love Me Two Times, is from a European tour in 1967. Shows what a great talent Morrison was. A great loss to music on his death.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - My Eyes Have Seen You

Best Track - When The Music's Over

Yeah, c'mon

When the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights, yeah

When the music's over
When the music's over
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

For the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end

Cancel my subscription to the Resurrection
Send my credentials to the House of Detention
I got some friends inside

The face in the mirror won't stop
The girl in the window won't drop
A feast of friends
"Alive!" she cried
Waitin' for me
Outside!

Before I sink
Into the big sleep
I want to hear
I want to hear
The scream of the butterfly

Come back, baby
Back into my arm
We're gettin' tired of hangin' around
Waitin' around with our heads to the ground

I hear a very gentle sound
Very near yet very far
Very soft, yeah, very clear
Come today, come today

What have they done to the earth?
What have they done to our fair sister?
Ravaged and plundered and ripped her and bit her
Stuck her with knives in the side of the dawn
And tied her with fences and dragged her down

I hear a very gentle sound
With your ear down to the ground
We want the world and we want it...
We want the world and we want it...
Now
Now?
Now!

Persian night, babe
See the light, babe
Save us!
Jesus!
Save us!

So when the music's over
When the music's over, yeah
When the music's over
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights
Turn out the lights

Well the music is your special friend
Dance on fire as it intends
Music is your only friend
Until the end
Until the end
Until the end!
