someday soon-

there are three versions of this song, lyrics switched up ever so subtle that make all the fucking difference. i just love the sheer dreariness- the drag, the unknown point made. The feeling is felt.




Someday soon, someday soon

Familiar freaks will fill your living room
Rugs lash out with their lizard tongues, you’re not getting young
You’re not getting young

And I hate to remind you but you’re going to die
All by yourself in the infancy’s lie

Someday soon, someday soon
Television bleeding like a harvest moon
Flush the scissors down the hole, you’re getting old
You’re getting old


And I hate to remind you but you’re going to die
And you’re going to be needing all of your lies
You’ll be all alone when the cannibal’s cry
All by yourself in the infancy’s lie


Someday soon, someday soon
Someday soon, someday soon

(MMM)Morrison-

I often look up/read Jim Morrison's words/lyrics because i have so many rare/different versions of songs. I wanted to look up a versions of "Back Door Man" off The Complete Matrix Club Tapes. While googling, I stumbled on this article of someone who googled "What is a back door man?"  I then read through the entire article, including the comments. Some of it made me laugh. One line stood out to me, "However, if there's anything I've learned with age, it is to not always trust in the obvious." Cheers! +

http://www.bernzilla.com/item.php?id=53

The article basically displays three ways that others are led to believing what the blues term of "Back Door Man" really means/stands for:

1. Referring to a man having an affair with a married woman, and presumably comes and goes through the back door of her house.

2. On a literal stance: Having Anal Sex. "When Morrison and Plant were around, anal sex was even more taboo than it is today, and society was even more likely to blow its top (no pun intended) when someone mentioned anal sex."

3. 'Back door' is in the way of SNEAKING into concerts, usually the "back door man" helps to get another in. "Sneaking" and "Back door" on two different meanings, joining as one.

As a Major doors fan there’s just too many references throughout several songs that led us to believe it only means one thing. The Affair stance. My case in point brings me to the song "The Spy." The version of this song Live At The Boston Arena, Morrison adds on how his woman’s been bad, he's seen her with another man." Even without that clip, the song alone talks about "know knowing deepest secret fears, I'm a spy, I can see, what you do, and I know." If you know Morrison, you know his ways. Wild.

That's one way I believe it's just a reference to having an affair, sneaking out the back, and being Morrison.  The second reasoning is mentioned in the article. In the song "Back Door Man", when Morrison sings out:  "You men eat your dinner. Eat your pork and beans. I eat more chicken any man ever seen", it shows that the wife is feeding him better than her own husband. - As mentioned. "I'm a back door man, The men don't know, But the little girl understand" Sure, I don't doubt it was meaning and being the anal aspect as well, being it was the 60's and it was Jim. But after all, Jim Morrison is all for words!



And if you really ask me- thinking of scandalous Morrison is way more exciting as the what may first seem obvious.+ ::wink::

Dear Victoria,
I hear you when you call my name.
Love,
Crazy Carl
P.S. - I hope you love me back. I have a beard.

around the same time:

"I read your philosophy on death, that was an interesting way you thought of it"
+

Not me. The God, Morrison.

Don't let me die in an automobile
I wanna lie in an open field
Want the snakes to suck my skin
Want the worms to be my friends
Want the birds to eat my eyes
...As here I lie
The clouds fly by

Amazing, Start to Finish

Way ahead of us all.

Mr. Mojo Risin'

"Do you know the warm progress under the stars?
Do you know we exist?
Have you forgotten the keys to the kingdom?
Have you been born yet
& are you alive?"
+
A vast radiant beach and a cool jewelled moon.
Couples naked race down by its quiet side 
And we laugh like soft mad children,
Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy.
The music and voices are all around us.
Choose, they croon the ancient ones
The time has come again
Choose now, they croon beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream, come with us.
Everything is broken up and dances

soft wild promises.

I'm gonna be honest and say i did cry to this, out of purest form.



"Why does my mind circle around you
Why do planets wonder what it
Would be like to be you.

All your soft wild promises were words
Birds, endlessly in flight
Birds, endlessly in flight

Your dog is still lost in the frozen woods
or he would run to you
How can he run to you
Lunging with blooded sickness on the snow
He’s still sniffing gates & searching
Strangers for your smell
which he remembers very well

Is there a moon in your window
Is madness laughing
Can you still run down beach
rocks bed below without him?

Tell them you came and saw and looked into my eyes,
Thoughts in time and out of season
calm calculus of reason."

today's doors song of choice and reason:



I will never be untrue

Do anything you would want me to
Never stay out drinking
no later than two
(two thirty...)
I will never treat you mean
and I won't cause no kind of scene
Tell you all the people
all the places I have been
I will always treat you kind
try to give you peace of mind
Only you tell me that you love me
one more time
Now darling
please don't be sad
Don't run off like that
when you get mad
Cause if you do
you gonna lose
the best friend
that you ever had
That's no lie...

I will never be untrue
Do everything you want me to do
Bring all my loving all my money
bring it all home to you
I never be untrue

Gloria Roria.

"Hey you know what's really weird? Los Angles California has the best landscape and climate and all that but New York has the grooviest people!" - Jim Morrison

Roria: A nickname that i commonly go by when i'm upstate. My Dad gave me this name ever since I was a kid, in fact I don't even recall him ever using my real name. Deli men, family members, Teachers, Family friends all know me as Roria. The irony is that my dad being if not a bigger doors head than i am - but a song called "Gloria" is a minor staple of where it originated from. I can relive days truckin' in my dads Bronco, and him singing "ROOOORIA!" instead of "Gloria" There's a lot of significance as to why I am a fan, not only for the best music made and lyrical trip but it's a sense of home for me. It might not come off as anything to anyone but to me, it's just a place where my head can go and be immaculately in tune with all i know, my mind, body. Home. I definitely see it as a spiritual awakening, like i've said before no two feelings are alike but when i listen, but they match up and make perfect sense. Anyways, I ment to originally blog about the fact I accidentally drove more than 3 blocks with my foot on the break because I got so into the live version of Gloria. For those of you that don't know it....Jim does what he does and gets raunchy and yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh road that break! hahahaahaha i laughed at myself.

You were my queen and I was your fool,
Riding home after school.
You took me home
To your house.
Your father's at work,
Your mama's out shopping around.
Check me into your room.
Show me your thing.
Why'd you do it baby?

Getting softer--slow it down
Now you show me your thing.
Now why don't you wrap your lips around my cock baby!
Wrap your legs around my neck,
Wrap your arms around my feet,
Wrap your hair around my skin.

I'm gonna eat ya honey, im gonna  eat ya baby
i'm gonna huhhhhh--all right, ok, yeah.
It's getting harder--It's getting too darn fast
Come on, now, let's get it on.
it's gonna rip you in two
Too late, too late, too late, too late, too late,

Make me feel all right!

Keep the whole thing going, baby!

+ I just cant get enough!

soooo dreamy.

. bearded jim as a poet .

Tuesday, September 28, 2010

i'm talking about the blues!



I walked 47 miles on barbed-wire,

Cobra-snake for a necktie.
Built a house by the roadside,
Made of rattlesnake hide.

Brand new chimney up on top,
Made out of human skulls.
Come on baby take a walk with me,
Tell me who do you love?


Who do you love, now?
Who do you love, now?
Who do you love, babe?
I say: Who now, who do you love?

Tombstone head and a graveyard mind,
Just 22 and I don't mind dying.
Rode around the town with a rattlesnake whip,
Come on baby don't give me no lip.

Miami 1969-

Drunken, so far gone, bearded Jim at his best. Live in Miami is hands down, sure shot, my OF ALL TIME favorite "Five to One" versions. This is the infamous Miami concert where it is said the Lizard King exposed his cock! Morrison grew tired of people not listening to his poetic words and being viewed as a "sex goddess" or a drunken musician. Morrison wanted to be known as the poet he is. You can truly hear just how fucked up he really was and how the background music is so distorted.  And the rage in his voice and rath of what he really is trying to say.

"You're all a bunch of fuckin' idiots...Lettin' people tell you what you're gonna do! Lettin' people push you around! How long do you think it's gonna last?! How long are you gonna let it go on?! How long are you gonna let them push you around?! How long?! Maybe you like it! Maybe you like being pushed around! Maybe you LOVE IT! Maybe you like getting your face stuck in this shit! C'mon! Maybe you love getting pushed around! YOU LOVE IT DONT YA, YOU LOVE IT. You're all a bunch of slaves! Letting everybody push you around! - What around gonna do about it?! What are you gonna do about it?! What are you gonna do about it?! What are you gonna do about it?!What are you gonna do about itttttttt?! What are you gonna do about itttttttt?!  What are you gonna do?! What are you gonna do?! What are you gonna do?!!!!!"

Give it a listen, you'll be amazed and promised a laugh at how genius he is! Truly a fuckin' movement!



6:45 update after already being posted: My mom got mad when i opened our sliders to our backyard
and recitiedscreaming all of "YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF FUCKIN' SLAVES" and so on...she got mad.

Honors.



Two powerful figures, One classic!

There are legit over 600 Doors songs on my computer, each being a unknown treasure.
But this is one of my favorite 'Moonlight Drive' bizzarre edition of the Matrix boxset.

. i am the Lizard King, I can do anything .

Today I, (human name) Victoria...social networking (which freaks me) name: Bonita,

am confirming that my favorite Doors song is.....
"Celebration of the Lizard: Lion's in the Street, Wake up, A Little Game,
The Hill Dwellers, Not to touch the Earth, Names of the Kingdom, The Palace of Exile"

After years and days, I am finally able to pick.
Nothing comes close to the words of poetry, seductive riddles, the perfect amount of sadness, the attraction of loosing your mind, the feeling of keeping it together, the act of drugs, a rush of love, the impact of what you know crashing, a vivid imagination of what's real and not real, the taste of the earth and heat of the sun and moon and stars, a glimpse of the future and a promised death.

I know, you've read it, i've said it but The Doors :: Absolutely Live 1996 boxset literally blows my mind. jesus fuck. It's nothing i've ever experienced and every time I play it, everything mentioned above is reborn. I've cried to it, i've laughed to it, i've shared it, i've let it control me and i've got turned on by it. Only two people in this world that i know of, can understand and relate to this.

The Doors of Perception




MR. MOJO RISING; JIM MORRISON.


Tonight PBS aired the new Doors movie "When You're Strange." Impressed. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Jim, to me, is ingenious. Nothing comes remotely close to the movement of this band. The film made me remember why I loved them in the first place and basically re-birthed my outlook of them, their sound, what they stand for, the musical aspect in a whole new light. A way in which I thought I couldn't develop more in depth than I already felt. A lyrical Genius, an intelligent lover, a brilliant artist and a maker of a rather good beard..MMM!
