The Doors "The End"
That's a good one. The finality of the line that always gets me is, "I'll never look into your eyes.... again."
The Doors "The End"
I was a preteen whose brother was senior by 7 years.
Not exactly a moon/june kind of pop song is it? To me it is a real genre expanding song: from its length, to its multi-layered and multi-sourced subject matter and symbolism, to Robby Kreiger's odd D tuning and drone that some say sounds Indian but it does not sound like any Indian music I have heard, to John Densmore's drumming which does have an Indian tabla feel to it, to the break in singing for an extended talking section, to the almost Day in the Life build up of cacophony of instruments ending is sort of an sustained chord, before it picks up again. Among other things, who is Morrison singing to? A woman he is breaking up with? Himself? A younger self, as some have suggested? Us? Oedipal, Freudian, Greek, Aztec (?), American West. Some say Joycean. Baudelaire. Joseph Campbell, maybe.That's a good one. The finality of the line that always gets me is, "I'll never look into your eyes.... again."

The song was used to great effect in "Apocalypse Now".
Yes, much clearer in the remixed versions. We did not have the clarity to hear them so well when the album first came out. Genius stuff. Not every cut seems as good to me as they once did. WIYWOY seems okay to me.listen to the bass playing and percussion. Unbelievable
I’m with you, kid (both digital and analog). I was living in West Germany when my best friend’s brother came “home” on a break from college and literally made us listen to that album. Signals changed my life, and concept of music, forever.For albums, it would have to be Signals by Rush. Totally knocked me for a loop, and I could listen to Subdivisions on a loop.
