Hi guys..This song was written by the guitarist Robby it's about a man going away to Vietnam and needs twice the loving from his lady lol... Another great catchy Doors song... Peace ✌️
@@MikeB12800 In interviews With Robby and Jim when the album was released..Also it was all but band on radio for it's sexual and war themed over tones...Peace..
The Doors at their very best, here. No psychedelic or film-school pretensions, just sexy blues-based rock. The band is tight af and Jim sounds hot. To answer Lex's question about anyone copying the Doors' aesthetic, the singer from the Cult certainly attempted it; even joined the surviving band briefly on the County Fair/Indian casino circuit in the 2000s, iirc.
I instantly played the whole song 'Hello, I Love You' in my head word for word note for note. Now it's being played over and over again, can't get it out of my mind, thanks for a great recommendation!!! I agree
the Doors were right up there with The Beatles, Led Zepplin, and The Rolling Stones. Their Music Morrisons Presence, and Vocals ,make them almost Immortal and never gets Old and brings the Listener back to the Hey day of Rock n Roll, The Late 60s.
David Great words, you are correct. Yep their songs never get old. The Doors in my mind are up there with all the great bands including the ones you mentioned, they were freaking special. It was a wonderful time being alive despite all craziness happening in the world. On a side note, I shed a tear when Joplin died, Hendrix died I shed more than a tear, when Morrison died, my heart about freaking exploded.
I was just 8, 9, 10 years old listening to the Beatles, the Doors, the Who, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zep, Janis Joplin, Jefferson Airplane, the Allman Bros. etc. plus all the great music on the radio and Motown on tv. Even a lot of the pop music on the radio was great back in those days. It's cool seeing young people today discover real music.
When I was 14, I made a new friend whose favorite band was the Doors. I was into the music of the day-80’s hair bands. Then I heard Jim Morrisons voice and became a fan, instantly.
I heard the Aerosmith cover of this song at about that age, and was already familiar with "People Are Strange" from radio. I bought the Doors' Greatest Hits double album based on that, and discovered how awesome they were. My dad couldn't believe I was getting into "The dirty Doors", as they had been known in his day. He said he almost went to see them live, but my mom said "no way" because she was a prude.
I found myself engaging with bands back in the mid-seventies onwards whom had a singer that didn't sound like a little girl. My situation with the Doors was more about having heard them on the radio since they debuted so by the time I was old enough to really appreciate them, I was already way too familiar. I believe David Lee Roth was the next guy that sang like a guy whom got my attention.
after the movie kids went crazy fir the Doors except for my one strange friend who had been trying to tell us about them for years. RIP David Robinson (OD at age 27)
Jim Morison was the definitive lead singer.. He had it all...looks,sex appeal, great voice, charisma. He was also one of the greatest songwriters in Rock History. And The Doors one of the greatest groups.
@@tcanfield Jim was allegedly sexually abused as a child, and his mother called him a liar when he told her....sexual abuse usually leads to addiction and other issues...
This song epitomizes The Doors for me. Very simple and quaint but quirky and smooth and with AHHH YEAH Jim :) The 'chop-stops' are signature Doors for me!
Dirty bluesy psychedelic sexy music and lyrics coupled with deft musicianship, one of the greatest and most original bands ever. Jim was a genius, he was well aware of how great the musicians he was working with were. Truly a once in a lifetime band.
This is one band where the deep cuts are just as good as the hits which this was not a major one but was a single. Go deep! The Unknown Soldier, Wild Child, The Crystal Ship Wishful Sinful , The Wasp (Texas Radio and The Big Beat ) on and on. Super reaction..
Got to give some props to the other members of The Doors, Ray Manzarik, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore. They are as tight and unified in their playing as any backing group ever. We all know Jim Morrison is a great vocalist and poet, but the rest of the band deserves some respect too.
@@pulsarlights2825 I'm no musician, but I respect anyone who can get up there on a stage and do what they did. They may not be as good as the guys in say Pink Floyd or Steely Dan or the Grateful Dead, or even Santana, but in my very humble opinion, they kicked ass when they had to. Are you a musician? If not, mums the word Pulsar Lights.
@@bobschenkel7921 - Kreiger was a flamenco guitar player and Densmore was a jazz drummer before they joined the band. That is why their sound is somewhat unique. Manzarek played classical piano, too, I think.
So strange to hear someone call the '60s counterculture as "old school," even if it's now the 2020s! We were the opposite of "vintage" back in the day... Enjoy your reactions folks!!!
You two are right....the Doors are different....they were different back then! Exquisite musicianship....Jim's growly voice....fantastic writing. It was a package that couldn't fail. I can still remember the 1st time I heard them. The long version of Light My Fire just days after the album was released.
My favorite band is The Doors...We are a unique set of people i would think!!! Thanks Guys keep going on this band!!! My favorite song is The Spy ..check it out ❤❤❤
Val was incredible as Jim. He told about it in the doc called “Val”, how he was so into it that he stayed “in character” for extended periods, so much that his wife moved out to get away from him.
As someone who has taken LSD over 50 times in the 90s, most of them listening to the Doors while doing crazy things in the mountains, watching young people discovering the Doors and enjoying them always makes me happy… The Doors bring back so many eccentric memories... Btw, nobody screams like Jim. Those Jim’s screams portray better than any other artistic expression the fire of being young and rebellious... (and sorry for my English; it’s not my language)
@@pulsarlights2825 I've accomplished things in my life but I wouldn't point LSD as directly responsible for it. LSD has just played a role in my life the same way everything we've done has played a role in who we're now.
My last time I had a very bad experience ( bad trip ) & was way too much to handle mentally & scared the 💩 out of me . But looking back on it now i think it gave me a different outlook on things & life . ✌️😎
Morrison loved Sinatra and Elvis, and apparently tried to sound like them. But never felt like he could measure up. In the pursuit of that he created his own incredible sound.
Jim Morrison was out there. Had that Kerouac vibe of the 50's/60's. Such a bad boy. His poetry is strange and completely obscene. And frequently true. RIP
I’ve study Jim for over 40 years In my option he was a existentialist Nihilist Libertine Very intelligent man All rolled up into one complex individual whose candle burned to quick at both ends. The DOORS greatest band ever every one else are imitators Do a reaction on Their version of Gloria
@@jamespenny9482 I have not read the book but do a agree that the time period of the mid to late sixties was a explosion of creativity concentrated in one area something you didn’t see before and haven’t seen afterwards any where . To quote one of Jim’s songs “ hear me talk of sin and you know this is it YEAH ! “ STRANGE DAYS
Great reaction. You guys always make me happy. How were The Doors so good? Well, there are a lot of reasons, but every damn song is a gem in a different way. Remember this song next one of you has to take a solo business trip.
@@billyjoechambers8494 without a doubt 💯 my friend 1st time I heard Riders on the storm I was 15 back in the 70s I just smoked a Joint of Humboldt county Skunk 😂 the song takes on a new meaning just like Pink Floyd The Wall 🧱 it's a religious experience 😂
@Jeffrey T - you are right. Steely Dan are, as are the DOORS; Unlike any other. However, at a completely different time. When the DOORS made their music, a lot of what they did and what they put on stage was forbidden. It was a bit more open at the Steely Dan time. The Doors were just the door openers for songs that were still exceptional in their time and punished in the US. Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)
The Doors are one of those groups that when there is one of their songs on the radio (yes I still listen to radio) I can't turn it off until the song ends.
Back in the 60's and 70's you had to buy the doors album's cuz it wasn't approved for radio. Police would raid their concerts. It was a world of leave it to beaver and Ozzie and Harriet.
Brad and Lex , you should check out a group called The Stranglers. They were influenced by The Doors and also have a strong keyboard sound and some great punk songs.
You guys should react to The Doors more… "Five to One", "The Crystal Ship", "Twentieth Century Fox", "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)", "Back Door Man", "I Looked at You", "End of the Night", "Strange Days", "You're Lost Little Girl", "When The Music's Over", "Hello, I Love You", "Love Street", "Touch Me" 🎸🤘
Per Auralcrave the band explained that it’s a song about a man who spends with his woman the night before his departure for Vietnam. Jim Morrison enters the guitar riff in a sensual way. He is inviting, he tells her woman to love him several times that night. He’s going to go away and he wants it twice. Almost a challenge. Make sure I can have enough of you for when I’m gone.
The doors were out during the Peace & Love era and they were the opposite side of the coin the dark side of the sixties. I believe the guy in the song is going to war and that's why he wants to be loved 2 times hes gone away
Hi Brad and Lex. I love The Doors. My favourite band of all time. I don't have that whole look though, as described by Lex. I just love the music and their whole vibe. I love you guys too, of course. You've got me addicted to your videos. That smile by Lex brightens my day. I even like that little grin by Brad when we can see he enjoys what he's listening too, rather than him just thinking to himself "whats this all about?". Æx 🙏
I am glad Lex has a bun in the oven. You two are a great couple. I want you both to have many more buns, that being said Lex would drive me crazy as she is Edith Bunker.
Jim Morrison and the Doors were really something special. It's cool that Lex "gets" them so many year later. Waiting for you to do Hello, I Love You and L.A. Woman. You will like them.
