Could it get any better than this !? 72 years old listening to this in 2023. Nothing compares to our music of the 70's for me. I'm binging on it tonight ... Labor Day weekend ✌️❤.
Friend, better have Jesus as your Lord and Savior before you die, you don’t wanna end up in eternal hell for Sinning against eternal God, which is what will happen. I got all the proof in the world to prove the Bible is true after all. Science, psychology, etc. first I’ll give you psychology! You cannot out psychologize the Bible for God not to throw you into hell for all eternity. In other words, you cannot come up with a good enough excuse here and now, so you will not be able to on judgment day. If you say you did not want to be born, God is going to say you should’ve been born again, that means become a Christian so that’s not gonna work. And there are no other excuses try to think of one. So now you know for the first time in your life, that the Bible is smarter than you and it is a steel trap, smarter than all of mankind, What should you do then? So at least investigate and look to see that these things are true, because right now you just learned the Bible is smarter than you, and you will be accountable for your life on judgment day before God! Prophecy, the Bible is 27% prophecy, that’s future history written in advance. God‘s really sticking his neck out to get it cut off if he’s wrong, but he hasn’t been wrong about the thousands of prophecies that were fulfilled, so he’ll be right about the end of the world prophecies as well and you’ll have no excuse on judgment day for not looking for truth! Caveat: you cannot look for God in times of chaos says Isaiah 45:19, so you better do it now. In other words,You’ll be too worried about your own survival when chaos hits, than your eternal destiny! Statistic probability of 40 writers writing the Bible with zero margin of deviation, proves God wrote the Bible through the 40 writers! God authored the Bible! DNA does not auto encrypt, the code writer is outside of the code of the 3300000,000,000 lines of computer code in the human genome of our DNA! So who wrote the code to such sophistication? 1,000,000 seconds is 12 days, 1,000,000,000 seconds is 32 years! That’s the difference between 1 million and 1 billion! One person’s DNA could fill the Grand Canyon up to 50 times full of books. John 21:25 “I suppose everything Jesus did, the world wouldn’t have enough room for the books telling of it.“ this verse would be fulfilled! Psalm 139:16 “in my members you have written many books“! Psalm 139 is about the human body!

My memory of this song came when my grand parents were watching the Ed Sullivan Show and the Doors were on the show, I was 5 going on 6 years old and I was drawn to "Light My Fire". My Grandfather says to me, "Little boys should not like Rock and Roll!" I'll be 61 next week and this will always be part my life.
When this song came out in the 1960's I was a teen. I was invited to a wedding of a relative of an acquaintance at a lodge in the Los Angeles hills. He drove the two of us there. We were on the freeway with this song playing and it began raining hard and suddenly a bolt of lightening hit the hood of his station wagon!!! This song will always be associated with this.
I'm from LA Too. Whiskey a go go Listen to the drum fill here @2:35 @3:00 and again We've produced doors. Rage against the machine. Chili peppers. Not bad. Jim's epic return @5:30 Driving up PCH, Topanga, or Malibu Cyn late at night, playing riders on the Storm, stoned, is highly recommended
The Doors forever and ever!!! Yeah!!! I'm.70.Yeah !!! As a French man it's a honnor for me that Jim.Rest in Peace in Paris!!! God Bless you all!!! God Bless AMERICA!!!!!!
Just turned 74 - this song was popular in jr. high school . So Hot , as was Jim Morrison , and the band of musicians . One of the longest songs back then ! Gone too soon Jim ! Thank you , still have your albums - here in 2024
I wish the vocals on these songs were louder... that's probably one of the main reasons I didnt listen to this type of music much... it's like they're singing 3 meters away from the microphone
I may be slightly late but I've come with my condolences. But yeah I'm here by chance as i was looking for a doors song I haven't actually found yet, someone in my college listened to it regularly almost every other day, and i remember it's name was something like "midnight man" but i just can't find it. I did find this old song with a name similar to one of a relatively new j-pop song "light my fire" so i came to check if this was an inspiration, it probably wasn't now that I'm hearing it
I saw the Doors in concert in 1968 and will never forget it. I was 18 and a farm girl going in and a free spirit of the world coming out. The Doors remain one by of my top three bands ever.
Totally! I lived in SF at the time, working at the ground-breaking station, KFRC, as the Continuity Director. It was like paradise, every day. The memories are golden.
I swear this song talks to me....without drugs. I go to another place, another dimension, another time, another world. It''s the only thing that does this to me. Every time.
The Doors, despite all of Jim Morrison’s limitations and dysfunctional behavior, were a unique and talented band. Their haunting and exilerating sound is timeless.Robbie Krieger deserves more credit than he was given.
@@Jingles466 He was a mediocre guitarist who brainwashed you all with his mediocre guitar playing and techniques. If you were really a guitarist, then you would know what a good guitar part was and what wasn’t. And every time I hear his solos, I can’t help but sometimes cringe.
@@snevilmansloth2945 Most guitar players at this time were unable to reach the bar set by Les Paul and Chet Atkins, who of course, were both big fans of Django Rienhardt.
10 years ago from today : My father was found dead inside his room and things since then hasnt been the same. My dad is the only reason why I even listen to the Doors in the first place and also reason why classic rock is my all - time favorite genre of music that I ever bother to listen to . It's strange that he died exactly on same day that Jim Morrison had his birthday on ( and same day that John Lennon was killed ) . RIP pops 😥😞
@@lisavaughn7817 I do deeply appreciate your condolences : my father was an huge influential when it came to " my taste in music " . I enjoyed listening to radio with him growing up as an kid when he was still alive and helped introduced me to alot of classical rock groups . My mom ( whose still alive ) is also a big reason why im more into " rock music " then pop crap that you'll hear now . He did drugs unfortunately, and also drank alot which cause him to die at early age ; he was on an waiting list to have a liver transplant but pass on before they found an match for him . Very sad ...
Commiserations for your dear old dad. He would be proud that you are listening to his music. Take care and I hope you continue to enjoy this timeless, amazing song!
I am very sorry for your father's passing. It's sad to know he was unable to see there's better reasons to live for, than risk losing them. At his best, he gave you life and your love of Rock. And maybe other great things that are helping you cope. Music is a beautiful way to enjoy life's memories, it can take you back to a happier time. I know grieving has no time limits. Sometimes putting your sad feelings, about losing a part of you too soon into a different view, can totally make all the difference, if you are trying to fill that empty feeling. I had to do it because I ran out of tears, but still felt empty from losing my Mom in 2007. I created a new happiness from all the energy I lost missing her. I decided to bring her back into my life. If I had somewhere to go, I would say in my mind "ok Mom we're going to ........" I would ask her if she was with me to let me see a Cardinal fly by", within minutes I would see one, and be filled with happiness. Cardinals are Messengers from loved ones in heaven. You don't have to believe it, but it's written everywhere. I hope you find a way in the future to find happiness through your grief.
Whatever happens, this solo is one of the reasons life on earth was worth it. I feel like even if it all goes back to being infinite amounts of lifeless space and matter, at least some creatures on a pale blue dot got to experience being alive like this. Thanks to all musicians out there who keep making life not a mistake, as Nietzsche would put it.
@@louisejohnson7336 I listened to this when I was a teenager many moons ago. I would turn the lights down low in my bedroom and I swear I would get high just listening to this.
The doors will always be one of the best rock bands. This song is such a masterpiece, I can’t never get enough of it . The doors are one of the greatest bands in my ears they would have done a lot of new beautiful songs like this if Morrison hadn’t died so early , so that’s it that’s all I had to say !
Yes, I agree! The Doors are irreplaceable. LMF, is without a doubt my go to song for any mood I'm in. I close my eyes, and dance to the spirit of the 60s. The music of the 60s and 70s is irreplaceable. Morrison and Ray I love you. Thanks for the memories.
I really liked this song the first time I heard it in my car about 1967,68. I liked the drums and long solos..,and parked my car and waited till the end and last fast drum roll and crash cymbal!The world was ready for it! I was amazed. 3 weeks later,it was number #1.
Born in the 80's, and as much as the 80's were epic, as was the 60's. The 90's was the last great decade; Honorable mentions, 50's and 40's. Be blessed
in a moment like this of crisis and depression in which my beloved country is Italy 🇮🇹... hearing this song and like a breath of oxygen puts an immense joy thanks jim thanks to all the doors for a young man like me born in 1995 hear this song in 2020 and a hymn to joy
Im 73, too. I saw HIM in Philly in 1970. The greatest rock song by the greatest rock band of all time. The song is perfectly constructed. HIS VOICE now moves through the cosmos at the speed of light onto infinity. I Will join with that voice sometime in the future.
I’m 64 my Nextdoor neighbor’s sister had this playing constantly in 68 it seems like yesterday but so far away a life time , it still makes the hair stand up on my arms.
This version is the BEST version! They rarely ever play this version on radio. I guess it has something to do with time, the limited time in which they play each song. Still, however, I would rather hear this version than any other. The combo organ solo and the guitar solo afterwards is the BEST part of this song. You just CANNOT leave those out! I get chills from those parts every time!
I can vividly remember they play most of the time a short version without the instrumental "middle" part. I can't understand why so I agree with your anxiety.....
Yeah, unless you had a good album rock station, they would play the short Ed Sullivan version for pop radio, and even more unforgivably, start talking over the end and such to fade out the song and sell you some of Honest John's used cars. That's when I would fantasize about sending some paisanos to the radio station to "fix" the problem.
this is the version I heard on the radio, I was straight up enchanted and had to ask my mom the name of the song bcs I... was born in 2007 and did not grow up with these songs lol
"Listening to 'Light My Fire' by The Doors always brings back a special memory for me. My granddad had an amazing sense of humour, and this song was played at his funeral during his cremation. It was such a perfect choice for a man who always found a way to make us smile, even in the most unexpected moments. Sharing this memory in honour of him and bringing a smile to my grannys face, knowing that his spirit and humour live on. ❤️"
In 1967 I was working on the docks at one the largest post offices in L.A when ever this song came over the Radio system the whole crew would sing along,25 guys at the top of their lungs . I’ll never forget it!😎🔥🔥
I grew up in the 60s. Wouldn't change that for the world. So wonderful getting to hear music change from about 1965 and have such great artists. Still remember hearing iconic songs for the first time, and this is one of the best.
I'm only 20 years old and i listen to this song at least 20+ plus a week. My dad used to have The Doors on repeat when I was younger, I thank him for it!!!
Quintessential Doors. The Best. Thank you 215 for this unforgettable masterpiece . I used to play this by ear on the piano, but now I use my fingers. I don’t care what year this is. I’m still in 1967.
Started loving this music lately, reminds me of my dad, maybe that's why I love it so much. He is so happy to have someone on his side voting for this music in the car and at home.
I first heard this song on the radio when me and Dad were painting the house,back when I lived with my parents as a kid, he turned up the volume and I remained quiet for the rest of the song in awe. Great memories ❣️
Music like this by incredibly talented musicians is timeless and like a good wine only gets better with age. It stands up after 50+ years and will always be in style.
crazy, beautiful song, beautiful lyric, rhythm, meter, all great. The keyboardist playing the organ and the bass at the same time is something magical. I love The Doors, maybe I'm one of the few of my age who listen to them. Greetings from Italy!
When ‘Light My Fire’ came out in 1967, my elementary school friends and I were too young at the time to go to rock concerts, alas, so we often learned all we could about The Doors and other epic bands. We loved the ATTITUDE of Jim, Ray, Robby, and John. They seemed to wear their “game faces” and rarely smiled. Check out Morrison’s gaze and seated posture on the reverse album photo of “The Doors 13” (compilation album release in late 1970). Then try that pose on occasion in real-life... ;)
A masterclass organ and drum segment in this performance. Mesmerically and head noddingley brilliant. Unforgettable. Needs to be listened too occasionally to get that unique musical lift!
Que recuerdos, en la secundaria me pelee con mis amigos y me empece a juntar con otros chavos que eran rockeros, uno de ellos me prestó musica de the doors, ya no hubo marcha atras, me hice rockero y hasta la fecha. Fue lo mejor que me pasó en la secundaria jeje, nunca dejare de escuchar a The doors, fueron mi inicio en el rock. Larga vida a Jim , larga vida al rey lagarto
@@guts9160 ni que estuviera pendejo como tu. Eso paso cuando estaba en secundaria, hasta la fecha escucho rock y no solo eso, me hice multi instrumentista y toco en bandas de rock por hobbie.
An incredible plethora of alpha music, unlike other times. And I lived in the early 50s on rock, blues, jazz, classical music and a variety of ethnic music; but this piece melds all music into a simple melange. It's like they aren't imitating anyone else.
I’m 42 & my Dad is a big fan & he used to play his songs non stop when I was a teenager. I grew to love them & the music is awesome. The movie was good too! This is real music & it’s timeless! Till this day & forever I will jam The Doors !🤎💕 Touch me is my favorite song & Light my fire is up there also . People are strange is another jam.Jim Morrison is a LEGEND & one of the greatest to ever walk this earth & his art,craft & pushing barriers when he was told no & the doors was something else that we will never have again .
August, 1967. This song was playing over and over every night in the rec hall at band camp...I was a sophmore. Every time I hear it I am transported back to that special time of life...young and the world of life ahead. It will always be close to my heart!!
Man that keyboard solo never fails to put me in a trance, awesome song.
Agree. So haunting. Like House of the Rising Sun Alan Price organ piece !
That's why they played it all summer long.
Great Ray...RIP
Doors still in demand

Friend, better have Jesus as your Lord and Savior before you die, you don’t wanna end up in eternal hell for Sinning against eternal God, which is what will happen. I got all the proof in the world to prove the Bible is true after all. Science, psychology, etc. first I’ll give you psychology!
You cannot out psychologize the Bible for God not to throw you into hell for all eternity. In other words, you cannot come up with a good enough excuse here and now, so you will not be able to on judgment day. If you say you did not want to be born, God is going to say you should’ve been born again, that means become a Christian so that’s not gonna work. And there are no other excuses try to think of one.

So at least investigate and look to see that these things are true, because right now you just learned the Bible is smarter than you, and you will be accountable for your life on judgment day before God!
Prophecy, the Bible is 27% prophecy, that’s future history written in advance. God‘s really sticking his neck out to get it cut off if he’s wrong, but he hasn’t been wrong about the thousands of prophecies that were fulfilled, so he’ll be right about the end of the world prophecies as well and you’ll have no excuse on judgment day for not looking for truth!
Caveat: you cannot look for God in times of chaos says Isaiah 45:19, so you better do it now. In other words,You’ll be too worried about your own survival when chaos hits, than your eternal destiny!
Statistic probability of 40 writers writing the Bible with zero margin of deviation, proves God wrote the Bible through the 40 writers!

Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏 ❤❤❤
I swear this song talks to me....without drugs. I go to another place, another dimension, another time, another world. It''s the only thing that does this to me. Every time.
Absolutely..put the headphones in, close your eyes and get taken to somewhere else..no other song does that.
I can totally relate to your thoughts 🙂

I'm 70 and it still doesn't get any better than this song!
I'm 26 and just discovered this I'm enchanted by it stuck in my head all day
The Doors, despite all of Jim Morrison’s limitations and dysfunctional behavior, were a unique and talented band. Their haunting and exilerating sound is timeless.Robbie Krieger deserves more credit than he was given.
Man Robbie was something else, nobody before and after him played like him. Unique rock guitarist.
@@Jingles466 He was a mediocre guitarist who brainwashed you all with his mediocre guitar playing and techniques. If you were really a guitarist, then you would know what a good guitar part was and what wasn’t. And every time I hear his solos, I can’t help but sometimes cringe.
@@snevilmansloth2945 Most guitar players at this time were unable to reach the bar set by Les Paul and Chet Atkins, who of course, were both big fans of Django Rienhardt.
I can't believe robby wrote that
Everybody has limitation and made mistakes, he is dead and we should focus on what he left as an artist. Bless his soul.
There's just something in this song that makes me feel emotionally younger, happier.
Love the Doors. 🤘
times of LSD
We were all young!
Yes indeed😊
Oh Yes @ Truth Indeed AMEN 🙏 😂❤❤😂This song just popped in my head now
Ho que oui!!!!!!😂
The organ is hypnotizing. Incredible. The organ solo burned through my mind the entire time I listened to it and I felt this incredible sensation.
Jim and Ray are who actually jetted this amazing band into the stratosphere, I think....
My kids are 50 plus and I still play the Doors!
I am 80 & still dig the Doors
Right there with you-I'm 75, still love the Doors 😊
Loved this song ever since I was a kid. I am now 49 and still love it.
61 and LOVE IT!!
@Lisa Vaughn. You're still a kid! Enjoy ❤️
Yeah. This is the Best song in the world.
65 here...Have been loving them for ages and still do
18 here, loved this song since my parents introduced it to me
When the very first song you ever write becomes a #1 hit ( written by guitarist Robbie Krieger ).
All it takes is one
Jim added the funeral pryer part I heard before but couldn't be 100% sure man
It's Riders on the Storm actually
Drop that; enjoy music
Stop fucking around
I'm 77. I played this song over and over in my college dorm room in 1968.
This song will be heard in a million years ❤❤❤
This is one of the top 50 songs of all time
This song is the apex of rock and roll. No question whatsoever. Absolute gem.
Love too play really Loud in Car hear every Sound so Good
I'm 67. This has been the BEST song /record in my lifetime. Full stop.
10 years ago from today : My father was found dead inside his room and things since then hasnt been the same. My dad is the only reason why I even listen to the Doors in the first place and also reason why classic rock is my all - time favorite genre of music that I ever bother to listen to . It's strange that he died exactly on same day that Jim Morrison had his birthday on ( and same day that John Lennon was killed ) . RIP pops 😥😞
SO SORRY about your dad. I know what it feels like. My mom died in 2004. I lost BOTH of my parents when that happened
@@lisavaughn7817 I do deeply appreciate your condolences : my father was an huge influential when it came to " my taste in music " . I enjoyed listening to radio with him growing up as an kid when he was still alive and helped introduced me to alot of classical rock groups . My mom ( whose still alive ) is also a big reason why im more into " rock music " then pop crap that you'll hear now . He did drugs unfortunately, and also drank alot which cause him to die at early age ; he was on an waiting list to have a liver transplant but pass on before they found an match for him . Very sad ...
Commiserations for your dear old dad. He would be proud that you are listening to his music. Take care and I hope you continue to enjoy this timeless, amazing song!
@@godofrock6985 Yes, very sad. God bless x
I am very sorry for your father's passing. It's sad to know he was unable to see there's better reasons to live for, than risk losing them. At his best, he gave you life and your love of Rock. And maybe other great things that are helping you cope. Music is a beautiful way to enjoy life's memories, it can take you back to a happier time. I know grieving has no time limits. Sometimes putting your sad feelings, about losing a part of you too soon into a different view, can totally make all the difference, if you are trying to fill that empty feeling. I had to do it because I ran out of tears, but still felt empty from losing my Mom in 2007. I created a new happiness from all the energy I lost missing her. I decided to bring her back into my life. If I had somewhere to go, I would say in my mind "ok Mom we're going to ........" I would ask her if she was with me to let me see a Cardinal fly by", within minutes I would see one, and be filled with happiness. Cardinals are Messengers from loved ones in heaven. You don't have to believe it, but it's written everywhere.
I hope you find a way in the future to find happiness through your grief.
Whatever happens, this solo is one of the reasons life on earth was worth it. I feel like even if it all goes back to being infinite amounts of lifeless space and matter, at least some creatures on a pale blue dot got to experience being alive like this. Thanks to all musicians out there who keep making life not a mistake, as Nietzsche would put it.
It sounds like your on the same drugs and Jim. But I agree with you
I wasn's on drug's or. any thing. But the sound took me away from all my hang up's.
@@louisejohnson7336 I listened to this when I was a teenager many moons ago. I would turn the lights down low in my bedroom and I swear I would get high just listening to this.
@@louisejohnson7336 what good music does
I'm reading Densmores memoir, "Riders On The Storm".
You should read it
The composition and musicality on this piece is excellent. Not to mention the amazing psychedelic sound of this too.
I'm 73 and this song brings back so many memories !!!!!!❤❤✌️✌️

this song has an energy that few new songs have nowadays
Good Guitarist nk

@@Pimpzy69 yes
I don't think the song has aged very well.
@@BitmapFrogs how so
The doors will always be one of the best rock bands. This song is such a masterpiece, I can’t never get enough of it . The doors are one of the greatest bands in my ears they would have done a lot of new beautiful songs like this if Morrison hadn’t died so early , so that’s it that’s all I had to say !
Yes, I agree! The Doors are irreplaceable. LMF, is without a doubt my go to song for any mood I'm in. I close my eyes, and dance to the spirit of the 60s. The music of the 60s and 70s is irreplaceable. Morrison and Ray I love you. Thanks for the memories.
One of the top 50 songs of all time
I really liked this song the first time I heard it in my car about 1967,68. I liked the drums and long solos..,and parked my car and waited till the end and last fast drum roll and crash cymbal!The world was ready for it! I was amazed. 3 weeks later,it was number #1.
Born in the 80's, and as much as the 80's were epic, as was the 60's. The 90's was the last great decade; Honorable mentions, 50's and 40's.
Be blessed
in a moment like this of crisis and depression in which my beloved country is Italy 🇮🇹... hearing this song and like a breath of oxygen puts an immense joy thanks jim thanks to all the doors for a young man like me born in 1995 hear this song in 2020 and a hymn to joy
Praying for Italy 🙏
Foo Girl thank you
Praying for Italy.
God be with you all Italian.
Kethie Jeanne J thank you kathie jeanne 🇮🇹🙏🏻 we love you
Im 73, too. I saw HIM in Philly in 1970. The greatest rock song by the greatest rock band of all time. The song is perfectly constructed. HIS VOICE now moves through the cosmos at the speed of light onto infinity. I Will join with that voice sometime in the future.
This song just takes you up
I’m 64 my Nextdoor neighbor’s sister had this playing constantly in 68 it seems like yesterday but so far away a life time , it still makes the hair stand up on my arms.
Ageless, timeless and just absolutely fantastic music 🎵👍🥰🥰🥰

Rock on!

The #1rock song of all time!🎉
This version is the BEST version! They rarely ever play this version on radio. I guess it has something to do with time, the limited time in which they play each song. Still, however, I would rather hear this version than any other. The combo organ solo and the guitar solo afterwards is the BEST part of this song. You just CANNOT leave those out! I get chills from those parts every time!
Agreed!!
This now generation has nothing on ours
I can vividly remember they play most of the time a short version without the instrumental "middle" part. I can't understand why so I agree with your anxiety.....
Yeah, unless you had a good album rock station, they would play the short Ed Sullivan version for pop radio, and even more unforgivably, start talking over the end and such to fade out the song and sell you some of Honest John's used cars. That's when I would fantasize about sending some paisanos to the radio station to "fix" the problem.
this is the version I heard on the radio, I was straight up enchanted and had to ask my mom the name of the song bcs I... was born in 2007 and did not grow up with these songs lol
"Listening to 'Light My Fire' by The Doors always brings back a special memory for me. My granddad had an amazing sense of humour, and this song was played at his funeral during his cremation. It was such a perfect choice for a man who always found a way to make us smile, even in the most unexpected moments. Sharing this memory in honour of him and bringing a smile to my grannys face, knowing that his spirit and humour live on. ❤️"
I bet his funeral was applauded in smile because of this song. He would have liked it up there.
A song about Fire that could bring Tears in your Eyes! That is the balance of Yin-Yang/Fire-Water in this track.. The Doors of Perception!
Yeah.and.Aldous Huxley went blind
The writer of The doors of perception
This is not just a song-it's a journey!
I am so hooked on this song, especially the keyboard section.
Bailey Shore sad that current music doesn’t have much emphasis on the keyboard
Yes we need more rock and roll.
Welcome to Doorsland
Grande mi Rey lagarto ninguno como TU se te Recuerda.con mucho amor
In 1967 I was working on the docks at one the largest post offices in L.A when ever this song came over the Radio system the whole crew would sing along,25 guys at the top of their lungs . I’ll never forget it!😎🔥🔥
I grew up in the 60s. Wouldn't change that for the world. So wonderful getting to hear music change from about 1965 and have such great artists. Still remember hearing iconic songs for the first time, and this is one of the best.
My favorite song when I was 16
It's 2020 and wow this masterpiece still lights my fire. Some songs burn forever!!! 🔥
This is raw shit at its best
Some songs keep us forever young.🔥
Masterpiece is right. Glorious.
Staple center,s on fire, staple center,s on fire... go lakers
Sooo True!!!!
I'm only 20 years old and i listen to this song at least 20+ plus a week. My dad used to have The Doors on repeat when I was younger, I thank him for it!!!
Awesome
Jolly good show!???!?!?!!! X
One of my favorite bands of all time love the creative music really defines LA scene in late 60's
A classic at its best ❤❤❤❤
Esto es arte en su forma más pura
Quintessential Doors. The Best.
Thank you 215 for this unforgettable masterpiece .
I used to play this by ear on the piano, but now I use my fingers.
I don’t care what year this is. I’m still in 1967.
Always reminds me of my sister Lillie. May she RIP. She was crazy about Jim Morrison, had that big poster on her bedroom wall.
Un véritable groupe de musiciens,et d'un poète...
Started loving this music lately, reminds me of my dad, maybe that's why I love it so much. He is so happy to have someone on his side voting for this music in the car and at home.
I have to say, you are so beautiful...
@@cagdastemel1845 Aww thank you! You made my day!
@@maia79Aww this is nice :) You are lucky...Lost my dad to cancer in 2016...Still listen to all the music he loved and introduced me to though.
I first heard this song on the radio when me and Dad were painting the house,back when I lived with my parents as a kid, he turned up the volume and I remained quiet for the rest of the song in awe. Great memories ❣️
i hadnt heard it in forever and it came on radio in a rain storm in 90
The best keyboard playing ever recorded! The keyboard solo is iconic and mind blowing.
Ray Manzarek was legendary!! Rip 🙏
Real ❤
Music like this by incredibly talented musicians is timeless and like a good wine only gets better with age. It stands up after 50+ years and will always be in style.
Oh Yes! TRUTH INDEED AMEN 🙏
The organ solo with drums is a thing of beauty. The musical equivalent of a midsummer sunset over Central Park.
I was a little kid when this came out in 1967 the whole neighborhood had this album it played for the whole summer . THANK YOU JIMMY MORRISON ☺☺
Oh wow ❤❤
We used to hear this song all summer long while we brought our boom box to the beach. It always reminds me of the beach.
Super great
crazy, beautiful song, beautiful lyric, rhythm, meter, all great. The keyboardist playing the organ and the bass at the same time is something magical. I love The Doors, maybe I'm one of the few of my age who listen to them. Greetings from Italy!
Hi
Ray Manzerek is playing bass with his feet!
Q
My God the solos in here. Iconic.
Правильно говоришь, товарищ Крюгер!
Only song I can listen to on loop forever and never get tired of
One of the all time best Doors song.
Oh Yeah It Sure Is InDeed 🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
Dude, one of the all-time best songs by any rock group.
My all time favourite tune. Pure skill and class that doesn't age.
Hearing this in summer 67 in high school gave me chills, definitely my all time favorite band along with Led Zeppelin.
How lucky you got to experience this when it first came out! The best music seems to come from around that time
@@itsadreamwakeup I know I wish born in the 60s everyone sleeping on the 60s and think the 80s 90s is the best
@@yonatanharel5468 I agree, growing up in the 90s was definitely fun and my parents would always have awesome music playing in the house

The organ and guitar parts are out of this world
Escucho esta grandiosa canción y siento que vivo de nuevo y eso es fantástico y me siento muy bien ♥️
When ‘Light My Fire’ came out in 1967, my elementary school friends and I were too young at the time to go to rock concerts, alas, so we often learned all we could about The Doors and other epic bands. We loved the ATTITUDE of Jim, Ray, Robby, and John. They seemed to wear their “game faces” and rarely smiled. Check out Morrison’s gaze and seated posture on the reverse album photo of “The Doors 13” (compilation album release in late 1970). Then try that pose on occasion in real-life... ;)
Just an epic masterpiece too good that's what we call an artist
A masterclass organ and drum segment in this performance. Mesmerically and head noddingley brilliant. Unforgettable. Needs to be listened too occasionally to get that unique musical lift!
Love this song unique all the instruments sound good together

Miss the carefree days, this music takes me back to that time when I need my escape
Jim Morrison and the doors are the classic dope shit. No body plays guitar like that now a days
Que recuerdos, en la secundaria me pelee con mis amigos y me empece a juntar con otros chavos que eran rockeros, uno de ellos me prestó musica de the doors, ya no hubo marcha atras, me hice rockero y hasta la fecha. Fue lo mejor que me pasó en la secundaria jeje, nunca dejare de escuchar a The doors, fueron mi inicio en el rock. Larga vida a Jim , larga vida al rey lagarto
Larga vida a Jim jaja pero si ya se lo llevó la verga
Mañana te peleas con ellos y te juntas con los que escuchas Bad bunny y tú ciclo continúa
@@guts9160 ni que estuviera pendejo como tu. Eso paso cuando estaba en secundaria, hasta la fecha escucho rock y no solo eso, me hice multi instrumentista y toco en bandas de rock por hobbie.
Por algo pasan las cosas: si no te hubieras peleado no llegas a ser rockero.
The only problem with this song is that it ends
clap clap for you

The solo was way to long, it got annoying to me after the first minute, I usually skip it but other than that it’s pretty gud
You Got That Right!👍
An incredible plethora of alpha music, unlike other times. And I lived in the early 50s on rock, blues, jazz, classical music and a variety of ethnic music; but this piece melds all music into a simple melange. It's like they aren't imitating anyone else.
Still probably in my top ten songs. Thank you mom for introducing this to me at like 6 years old. It inspired me.
53 yrs to this song. And as fresh as Daisy
I’m 42 & my Dad is a big fan & he used to play his songs non stop when I was a teenager. I grew to love them & the music is awesome. The movie was good too! This is real music & it’s timeless! Till this day & forever I will jam The Doors !🤎💕 Touch me is my favorite song & Light my fire is up there also . People are strange is another jam.Jim Morrison is a LEGEND & one of the greatest to ever walk this earth & his art,craft & pushing barriers when he was told no & the doors was something else that we will never have again .
This song is fantastic. Nothing beats it. It's out of this world.
This song makes you feel alive no matter how dead you may
feel inside
Truth Indeed
August, 1967. This song was playing over and over every night in the rec hall at band camp...I was a sophmore. Every time I hear it I am transported back to that special time of life...young and the world of life ahead. It will always be close to my heart!!
