    Indian Summer Lyrics


    Indian Summer Song Chart
  • This was one of the first songs The Doors recorded. They played it on a demo they recorded in 1965. They did not release it until 1970 because they didn't feel the recording quality was up to standard.
  • Indian Summer is an extended warm spell in Autumn.
  • This hypnotic piece was inspired by a car accident in the desert when Jim Morrison was four years old, and his family was on the way to New Mexico. A family of Native Americans were injured and possibly killed. Morrison was quoted as saying: "The souls of the ghosts of those dead Indians... were just running around freaking out, and just leaped into my soul. And they're still in there." This scene is portrayed at the beginning of Oliver Stone's movie The Doors. (thanks, chloe - st. louis, MO)
  • Even though this was one of the first songs they wrote, The Doors never played it live because they thought it would sound insignificant compared to "The End," an Oedipal opus that was a staple of their early live shows.

    Land Ho Lyrics

  • "Land Ho" is an expression used by sailors when they saw a land after being surrounded with nothing except the ocean for a long time. (thanks, Elanor - Zagreb, MO)
  • This is a story of the sea that represents a quest for freedom.
  • Drummer John Densmore created a Skiffle beat for this. In the '50s, Skiffle was a popular style in England where amateur musicians would use jugs, washboards, and whatever else they had to make music.

    Waiting For The Sun Lyrics


    Waiting For The Sun Song Chart
  • "Waiting For The Sun" is the title of The Doors third album, and they tried to record it in those sessions, but didn't like how it came out. They brought it back 2 years later for their fifth album, Morrison Hotel.
  • This is about the quest for the American Dream, which is never attained.
  • Barney Hoskyns used this as the title of a book about the music scene in Los Angeles.
  • After their fourth album, The Soft Parade, was criticized for being too commercial, The Doors returned to their roots on this, which resulted in more simple songs based on The Blues.
