The doors - Break On Through ( To The Other Side )REACTION!!! 

Listen to the first few bars again. It starts with bossa nova jazz drumming, then shifts into a Chicago blues hook, then explodes into hard rock. There you have the Doors in one tiny package. Brilliant.

This song is directly related to the Aldous Huxley book "Door's of Perception" from which the band gets their name. The Breakthrough he's singing about is the use of drugs to breakdown the walls of perception and pull the veil away from our perceived reality. He was aware of and enthusiastically embraced the spiritual notions of different and ancient cultures that included ceremonial drug use, namely hallucinogenics, as a means of interacting with the spirit world and gaining enlightenment. Hence... Break On Through.

"Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free." Jim Morrison

When a friend died we played this at his wake because he loved the doors so much. 👍 thank you Miss India.

If "Break on Through" had of been released a little later in their career vs being the very first single, I think it would have been a monster hit.

The Doors had a cult-like following. We bought every album...and wore them out!

The Doors have made some great great music..with one of the best frontman ever to emerge from a rock 'n roll band.I can only imagine what they could have cranked out if only Jim hadn't dabbled too much into them hard drugs.It's great to see India delve more into them,in due time she'll come around to realize what great music this band had to offer.

Love the Doors!! Great reaction India!!

Ladies and gentlemen.... from los angeles california....THE DOORS !! You Doors fans know this reference. 👌

My fav Doors song is "Love her madley"

I can never get enough of Ray Manzarek's funky keyboard riffs !

The Doors ruled. Love street is one of thier best. Rest in peace Lizard King.

The Doors rock! Could you imagine hanging out and trying to keep up with Jim Morrison on the night scene? Damn that would be taking partying to another level. "Ride the snake"

One of the most ferocious rock songs ever written!!! Both John and Ray added a throbbing latin beat to complement Kreiger's scorching guitar and JIm's searing lyrics. As with the rest of their songs on their debut album, "The Doors," a masterpiece!!!!

In the original release..The "she get's high" line was edited to "she get"..it was too controversial for the times.

Great song. thanks for reacting to it!

I think this might be my favourite Doors track. Love it!!

xD I was moving like you, India, such a powerful and impressive first single for one of the best groups ever. Long live the Doors.

I love it when somebody fifty years later latches onto The Doors for the first time.

The first concert l ever attended was in Merced, California in October of 1966. It was held at the VFW hall on what was 17th St back then and a few years later became MLK Blvd. On the bill were the Seeds and the Doors. The building held 187 people and the tickets were $2.50 for this VJ presents show. The Seeds had the number one song that past summer with Your Pushing Too Hard and no one knew who the Doors were. This was six months before the first album was released and 8 months before Light My Fire came out. The first song the Doors did was Break on Through. The Seeds learned the hard way that night not to follow the Doors on stage.

Exactly I'm so glad you said that that's what I feel it means I heard this when I was 14 years old old never stopped listening to I'm 73 now still breathing and breaking through. God is in the air we breathe suck him down on inside you😅

Gate is straight, deep and wide Break on through to the other side!

The Door's were incredible band. My parents let my brother have a band who played the late sixties/seventies music in the house. I appreciate Jim Morrison contribution to music.

"The days break deep and wide" greatness born out of suffering

Oh yeahhhhh the doors glad u react to that React Also to Peace Frog🎶🎶

My dad was fortunate enough to go see The Doors back in his younger days! He said it was one of the craziest experiences ever and he wouldn’t change a d@mn thing! I’d love to hear your review of The Crystal Ship and Touch Me which are two of my personal favorites! BTW you are incredibly beautiful!

Great, fantastic super song and hit with the brilliant Lizard King Jim Morrison!!! That`s MUSIC!!!

"I found an island in your arms, country in your eyes. Arms that chained us, eyes that lied, break on through to the other side". It is a love song about not being able to trust those close to you but needing love. Jim's first love was a girl when he lived in Alabama, she saw through Jim's act. He was clearly dealing with depression and anxiety. People with those issues act normal but inside want to run and hide, break on through to the other side.

Jim has broken through to the other side ...

"The Doors of Perception" Aldous Huxley - influential book for Jim and the crew.

The love The Doors!!! Great band!!

I sang this song in my band in the 60s and 70s and it was one of my favorites. So much energy!

Very jazzy and a little dark sounding. They stood out from other bands.

To me, there's hardly a comparison of bands from this era and now, the limited amount of technology, a lot of live one takes, no auto tunes, small unknown studios, no internet publicity, the fans made you, and so much of it still holds up, gains new fans, their lyrics were so much more mature seeming than other eras, not wholly, but, often. The Doors were a great example of all things 60s.

Great debut single from one of the most creative bands of its era. Great choice and a great review. Keep exploring this era. There is so much to heat. Please Checkout Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit, hocus Pocus by Focus , an instrumental with astonishing vocals and 21st Century Schizoid Man by King Crimson. You might need a tit dye shirt and flared jeans for this :-)

India, I love your videos and your open mind for music. This is one of my favorite Doors songs and I love your reaction to it.

Their biggest song is Light My Fire.

"Soul Kitchen" is another catchy song off their first album to check out. And for a change up of sorts, also check out José Feliciano's cover of "Light My Fire."

Forgot how good this song is.. fkkn masterpiece!!!

In 1967 I was seventeen when I bought this album.It changed me .This was when the idea of a new culture with very different notions about life in America,became real to me.life in 67 was not about flower power but about a system that seemed to be coming unglued.I don't mean hating America was in vogue.It wasn't.However,in 1962 a nuclear war almost started.In 63 the man who manly saved us from that war,John Kennedy himself was killedin 64 we heade into Vietnam.In 65,66,,67,and 68 riots broke out across America every summer.it felt like everything was coming unglued.That was the spur that started us wanting to create a new culture.We were all afraid,not angry.Understand that and you will understand why many people,of all colors want to change direction again and stop the hate.

"The Chrystal Ship" India! Thanks(:

Yep! Definitely about breaking through during a time of breaking barriers!

He did a interview saying he wanted to do something brighter, something with joy, he wanted to get away from the dark stuff... But he passed away before getting to...

YES! Here is a list of great songs: Wild Child, light my Fire-short version, Love me Two Times, Not to Touch the Earth.

This kind of music has no and never will have a expiration date let there be rock 🤘

Another great song, by one of the great 60s era Bands.

I was born in the 80s but I love the 50s/60s/70s.this is my favourite doors song

I have always loved the doors music and poetry J was more of a poet than a musician, he went to st.pete Jc. In st.petersburg FL and had alot of talent such a great loss I only imagine what might have been had he still been with us.

Raining is good for listening to the Doors.

You should react to "Touch Me" that's my favorite song from The Doors

Yep breaking the doors of perceptions

My favorite mellow side Indian summer.

I'm only 18 and I love this song.

They wrote two MELLOW ballads you might like. One: "INDIAN SUMMER." and "BLUE SUNDAY."

Love the way you vibe to it 😎

Kinda like this song better than most of their bigger hits. More substance. Yes yes....great react n you hit the nail on the head here. Keep up the great job kiddo.

The Doors. Hello - "I love you wont you tell me your name?" Joni Mitchell. Both sides now, Clouds, Coyote

Hello I Love You, L.A. Woman, Love Her Madly, are all great. So glad you're doing the Doors. In 1967, I know that's dating myself, but my bff and I went to the Pasadena Civic Auditorium to see the Doors. When we got there, along with a few hundred other people, a guy came out and yelled at us, that the Doors wouldn't be playing, and furthermore, we were going straight to the hot place if we listened to their sinful music.

Lots of great Doors music to review. This one is definitely aimed at the psychedelia that was so prominent at that time. Breaking on thru what we think we know. Until that trip. With each occasion you learn more and more about the world, how it's run, not to trust what you're being told, and thinking critically for yourself. Thank you for the review!

Its incredible because we are just now finally starting to "break on through" from the establishment and the plantations that Jim is referring here.😮

Thanks for the reaction

This is one of my favorite Doors songs. I knew you’d like it.

You should check out Light My Fire! Not the radio shortened version of the song. Song was remastered in 2017

I'm the youngest of 6 , they were teenagers in the 60's !!!! I heard all THEIR stuff !!!! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

If you haven't seen a Doors concert video, you should check a few out. Jim Morrison was quite famous for his stage antics...

Queen reaction

Great reaction 🤘🚬👽🤘

Being on the line( perimeter) many nights in vietnam, I wanted to break on through the other side all the way home!

The beginning of grunge rock and metal

Remember kids.. The gate is straight, deep and wide.

The Doors were definitely iconic. Great react!! You should definitely also react to “Luka” (“My Name is Luka”) by Suzanne Vega...also “Tom’s Diner” by the same singer. “Luka” is from around 1987, and is about child abuse. The music video is a classic. She released “Tom’s Diner” in 1990, but she wrote the song around 1982. Tom’s Diner is actually about the real Tom’s Diner located on Broadway between 96th & 97th street in NYC. Great song.😊💯🍺🍺🍺

Nah. Song deeper than that. Next level stuff.

White Bird - It's a Beautiful Day

Peace frog is one of my favs

I always thought he was singing "sugar," but it was "she get." They edited out "high." So, it sounded like he said "Everybody loves my baby's sugar."

Five To One (New Stereo Mix) The Doors

The DOORS were HOT back in 60's and 70's. Check out "WAITING FOR THE SUN," on their MORRISON HOTEL Album.

Is there any hipsy hopsy ghetto rapcrapper today, that will be remembered like the Doors till this time???

I like your thoughts and the way you run your show. You wait until the song is over. When you have time, can you please play Fresh Air by Quick Silver Messanger Service?

yeah!! More the Doors "Light my fire "🔥 the video official please...

Classic.

You gotta try "The Soft Parade - The Doors", an underrated diamond of a music..

If there’s any song that represents what the doors were it would be this one

I feel it's about connecting to the afterlife or the dead. We have two worlds, the natural or mortal and the spiritual. Eventhough we cannot see it, we believe it exists. Mans need to connect to the spiritual is found throughout the history of mankind. Jim was both a poet and a philosopher, who continues inspire gererations of musicians and music enthusiast.

Five to one, soft parade & peace frog

Great choice, one of their best song! Check out "When The Music's Over", it is a fav of mine, or "L.A. Woman".

Cool 😎❤

as I always ask... react to Gloria by the Doors. thanks

When the musics over.

I found an island in your arms, country in your eyes arms that chained us, eyes that lied

they change the lyrics from the original song it when " she gives.. she gives he-aaaaaaaadddd.

Best and first song I always sing at karaoke. I am Jim Morrison's soul son

So, you broke on through...

Perfect LSD song.

The DoOrs - Peace Frog 🐸✌🏼

Can't be many cooler tunes to open your debut album

THIS SONG FKED THE ALIENS

India I recommend you to watch the movie to understand who he was ... and how he got famous..

милашечка

Great video! There was such intelligence in music during the 60’s .The lyrics were sophisticated and mature in terms of the intellect it took to create them. That generation of Americans from all walks of life were better educated, devouring books, poetry and also had excellent penmanship, learned albeit by strict Nuns in Catholic school. Each decade since, there has been some diamonds among the rough in terms of music, but on the whole, we’re dealing with recycled, dumbed down pop aimed at bringing in $ and then being disposed of. How sad.
