The Doors

The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The band took its name from Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, the title of which was a reference to a William Blake quotation: "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite." They were among the most controversial rock acts of the 1960s, due mostly to Morrison's wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio until finally disbanding in 1973. more »

Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, oh

Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
Yes, the river knows

Please believe me
If you don't need me
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in masticated wine
Please believe me
The river told me
Very softly
Want you to hold me, oh
I'm going, but I need a little time
I promised I would drown myself in masticated wine

Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
Free fall flow, river flow
On and on it goes
Breath under water 'til the end
