Here are five videos/with the lyrics from the legendary LA band, The Doors. Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek are fellow alumni of the UCLA Film School, and I once brought Ray back to play at a 25th Anniversary celebration. Here is a little background on the formation of the band from Wikipedia as a prologue to the short music video festival which follows: "The origins of The Doors lay in a chance meeting between acquaintances and UCLA film school students Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek on Venice Beach, California in July 1965. Morrison told Manzarek he had been writing songs and, at Manzarek's encouragement, sang "Moonlight Drive." Impressed by Morrison's lyrics, Manzarek immediately suggested they form a band. Vox-Organ-player Ray Manzarek was already in a band called Rick And The Ravens with his brother Rick Manzarek, while Robby Krieger and John Densmore were playing with The Psychedelic Rangers and knew Manzarek from yoga and meditation classes they were both taking. In August Densmore joined the group and, along with members of the Ravens and an unidentified female bass player, recorded a six-song demo on September 2. ...That month the group recruited guitarist Robby Krieger and the final lineup—Morrison, Manzarek, Krieger and Densmore—was complete. The band took their name from the title of a book by Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception, which was in turn borrowed from a line in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, a poem by the 18th century artist and poet William Blake: "If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is: infinite." Paul Rothchild, who I also knew, should be credited as being the fifth door - he produced all their albums. Touch Me From the CD The Soft Parade Yeah!

I'd prefer to own an island somewhere and let the mainlanders have at it

I heard they were sheepish

They kinda disappeared after making a big splash. After watching all the videos from this era, I'm convinced that most of the videomakers didn't have a clue as to what the hell they are doing in the 80s--there is practially no thematic or visual continuity, for the most part-just a lot of rapid cuts and manipulation of film speeds and random shots of the bands thrown. There are some notable exceptions, or course, and the set designs were usually kinda interesting...but damn...if it weren't for those songs, most celluloid shot then would be worthless. I still like Dance Hall Days...particularly the simple rhythm guitar and sax solo. Nice song - it's too bad this band didn't continue - it would be interesting to see what they would do today

I always thought this song had a nice horn arrangement

I only need one guitar to do all that

I'd vote for Kucinich or Gore, probably Edwards. Neither Hillary or Obama excite me. The Republicans candidates so far are a joke

Did they write all their own music? I also liked Head Over Heels - they had alot of singles hits

According to Wikipedia: "The band's name is derived from the Primal therapy treatment of the same name developed by Arthur Janov, which was made famous after John Lennon became Janov's patient. While undergoing primal therapy, a patient is encouraged to "re-experience" his early, dramatic emotional states (even perinatal ones), including screaming like an infant, hence the expression "tears for fears". Orzabal tried primal therapy in the early 1980s, although Smith never did, and neither returned to the treatment after that time. In a 2004 interview with VH1 UK, Orzabal and Smith said that when they finally met Janov in the mid-80s, they were disillusioned to find that he had become quite "Hollywood" and wanted the band to write a musical about primal therapy."

Alexi Murdoch - The Orange Sky

He reminds me of Boy George--what's with the dress thing? :)

Yeah--but not sure about his girly suits I also like Hot For Teacher

From Flikr

Definitely one of their better songs. And it's with David Lee Roth--I don't think Van Halen was that good without him

Came across this ny city artist, Matthew Luke Sandoval, on Youtube, and his interpretation of this song is very good. Enjoy. I slept last night in a good hotel I went shopping today for jewels The wind rushed around in the dirty town And the children let out from the schools I was standing on a noisy corner Waiting for the walking green Across the street he stood And he played real good On his clarinet, for free Now me I play for fortunes And those velvet curtain calls Ive got a black limousine And two gentlemen Escorting me to the halls And I play if you have the money Or if youre a friend to me But the one man band By the quick lunch stand He was playing real good, for free Nobody stopped to hear him Though he played so sweet and high They knew he had never Been on their t.v. So they passed his music by I meant to go over and ask for a song Maybe put on a harmony... I heard his refrain As the signal changed He was playing real good, for free Source: LyricsForFree
