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”
