The Doors – Riders On The Storm

A calming song for the blue times

 

If you are feeling down for some reason or if you are simply in a stressful situation (maybe an upcoming exam or meeting), then this Doors classic is the song for you.

Jim Morrison’s soothing voice, the harmonic keyboard, the rhytmic base and the warm raindrops in the background form one mesmerizing atmosphere, that leaves the listener hypnotized by its beauty.

The song is about how life is unpredictable and how we are just a small part of a largely chaotic universe. We are basically just “riders on the storm”, drifting through life and its disharmonic nature. It leaves a sense of melancholic hopelessness, but in a neutral, accepting way.

“Into this house we’re born, into this world we’re thrown
like a dog without a bone, an actor out on loan”  

 

 

Aerosmith – Dream On

This time I have decided to pay homage to one of classic rock’s leading acts: Aerosmith. “Dream On” is arguably one of their greatest hits and possibly one of rock’s all-time greatest songs. I can’t stress enough how much this band has affected my life in general.

“Dream On”, as a single from Aerosmith self-titled first album is a song about optimism  and believing in your dreams until they become true one day. It is an inspiring piece of music that motivates people to never give up  and to chase their goals in life. Life might be hard sometimes, things might not turn out the way you wanted them to be, but you should never forget that you’re still alive. Life goes on, we must “dream on”.

Steven Tyler’s iconic voice and Joe Perry’s striking guitars are what make Aerosmith so legendary, and this song is no exception. The melancholic atmosphere is accompanied by the memorable guitar licks and haunting vocals. Not to forget that epic guitar solo at the end that absolutely seals the deal!

In a nutshell, this piece of art is an absolute masterpiece. I would reccommend this song to literally anyone, also non-rock fans. If you have listened to it before, try listening it outside on a warm sunday night with a glass of cold beer. That way you will admire its greatness even more!
