Song Facts:
From Song Facts
Jim Morrison was depressed. He went to Robby Krieger’s house, they went to a canyon to watch a sunset, at which time Jim realized he was depressed because “if you’re strange, people are strange.” He then wrote the rest of the lyrics, which are about feeling alienated.
Krieger, The Doors’ guitarist, wrote the music. He did his guitar solo in one take.
The Doors played this on their only Ed Sullivan Show appearance. They also played “Light My Fire,” and Sullivan never asked them to come back because Morrison sang the lines, “Girl we couldn’t get much higher.”

Well played and excellent video production!
Thank you Scott!
Absolutely 100% thoroughly impressed. Now you need a You Tube channel & a Tic Toc channel.
Thank you Trent!
Love this tune Pam and as ever you did it justice. Echo and the bunnymen also did a great cover on the soundtrack of ‘Lost boys’.
Thank you!

Thank you Brian!
ALWAYS awesome Pam! Great song selection, great videography (I am envious of your talents), and also as always, great playing. Love the new bass as well and the color matching headstock.
Pam, loved it, thanks! One of my best all time bands. I used headphones so I could hear your bass even better. Sounds great. As others said above, your bass looks good too. You really do match the BABG title!
Interesting history of this song that you describe. Also I think that on that Ed Sullivan appearance they asked Morrison not to sing ‘higher’ and in rehearsal he didn’t, but did on the live version. But that’s from my memory, not read my Doors books in a while, so not sure about that.
Thanks again for the inspiration.
Thank you for your kind comments. I’m always happy to inspire if you need me.
