THIS IS SO DEEP!! THE DOORS - FIVE TO ONE (REACTION) 

The doors weren't a flower power band they were the dark side of the sixties

Keep in context this song was written during the Vietnam War. The singer, Jim Morrison, like many young people opposed the War. Jim's father was a rear admiral in the US navy and he opposed Jim's lifestyle and many of his beliefs, including the war. Likewise, Jim opposed his father's beliefs and role in the war. So this song represents the generation gap during this time in America, it represents Jim's personal conflict with his father, and it represents America, representing colonialism vs the struggle of Vietnam to seek its own path by pushing other powers out of its country. Like most great songs the lyrics can be interpreted many ways depending on the perspective and values of the listener.

Probably my favorite Doors song. The louder the better.

My mom was in her mid 20s when the Doors hit and she was a huge fan, played them all the time when I was a kid. This was her favorite song, still is and she's 83 now

The Doors were among the most controversial & influential rock acts of the 1960s, mostly due to Jim Morrison's lyrics & voice. They had a lot of hits including "The End", "Light My Fire", "Break On Through (To The Other Side)", "Love Me Two Times", "L.A. Woman", "People Are Strange", "Hello, I Love You", "Touch Me", "The Unknown Soldier", "Roadhouse Blues", "Love Her Madly", "Riders On The Storm". Sadly Jim Morrison died in 1971 at the age of only 27 but left a great legacy of music.

I discovered Jim Morrison and the Doors at the age of 15. Thirty two years later and I never miss an opportunity to listen to the magic they made. He was a brilliant poet and an outstanding performer ❤️

Another great song by the Doors is Spanish Caravan. For some reason the reactors seem to miss this song. Love your reactions!

“ROC we running this rap shit”

Jim Morrison was the quintessential Rock star and total badass ! That’s why he is still a legend !

You two play the doors songs that most reactors do not play or listen to thank you!. If you liked this a lot then I would suggest another doors hard rocking very interesting one with Jim really hitting it> "Not to touch the Earth" and at the end of the song he says 'I'm the lizard king I can do anything". Please play this as the next doors song. Would be so great!

The very first live concert experience was Jim Morrison and the Doors in the spring of '67, it was a life altering experience.

An excellent companion song to "Five to One" is "If 6 was 9" by Jimi Hendrix from the Axis Bold As Love album. But good luck finding that on RU-vid!

5 to 1 was Jim’s breaking down the ratio of the Vietnamese vs American soldiers, blacks to whites, and as everyone else has stated he’s poetry was what he really loved. Love you both S&M ❤️

Jim Morrison was one of the greatest poets and songwriters at this time. sometimes difficult to understand but a little later everything becomes much clearer and you can understand his thoughts better. Okay, of course it's also because you were very young back then and listened more to the music than to the lyrics - at least here in Germany - later when we learned the English language at school better, the words were more important. Greets from hamburg (germany) @all

Hands down their best IMO. Just stellar.

This is one of my favorite Doors' songs, besides "Roadhouse Blues". Waiting for the Sun is their 2nd best album (Morrison Hotel is 1st).

Jim Morrison was late one day for a rehearsal. Later that day they got a call he needed bail $ he was at a Bar and got into a fight with some Hells Angels. Lol My favorite band of that time & Today 👍

Saw you guys doing The Doors & clicked!

Props for doing the live version

Jim morrison was so stone that's why he sounds like he smokers high 🤣 😂 love the doors

My son was conceived listening to The Doors!!!💌

"Five to one" was the approximate ratio of whites to blacks, young to old, and non-pot smokers to pot smokers in the US in 1967. It was also the amount of Vietnamese to American soldiers in Vietnam, although Jim Morrison said the lyrics were not political. Also Jim was super drunk when they recorded the original. He died at 27.

Moonlight drive , Alabama song (whiskey bar .)

The rebellion life in the 60s. Crazy how relevant The Doors have aged✌️

This is my fave Doors song, just reaches in and takes a soul to a wonderfully savage place.

There are some great modern bands out there, but none of them are doing this level shit...

They were my favorite !! Literally grieved when he passed !

My second favorite song behind LA woman. Such an underrated band

My personal favorite rock band of all time.

Saw The Doors in 1966 at Cal-State East LA when I was 14 years old. We sat 4th row center. Still remember it vividly. Great memories of that concert and those days. Been listening to The Doors ever since. The Doors were unlike any other band of that era and any era since! Definitely a strange rabbit hole to fall down.

I love your beautiful couple love vibes u guys are great 🎉

I saw where the lyrics grabbed your attention -- Jim has a poets heart for sure -- a get together back in the sixties early seventies usually referred to fighting for a cause -- whether it be a war protest - civil rights rally - environmental awareness -- pollution control -- ect -- There was a song back in the mid sixties called -- Get Together by The Youngbloods that was a call to change and you might like to hear it ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GdxUIZOzd5E.html

Doors had many great songs. They are first rock band to be called "punk" in the press.

Without drawing to much trouble to your channel but how many revolutionary singers with a real message lived to be old?

Hello from creta...Keep going When the music's over.........🇬🇷🇬🇷

Trade in your hours for a handful of dimes is one of my favorite lines by anybody ever.

Man I’ve never heard this version it is excellent

Jim Morrison was always an intellectual. He was a poet. He was more than a rock star that took too much peyote or LSD or cocaine. I have all his bios and his poetry books and An American Prayer on CD. Even in his lyrics, Jim was an intellectual. He never wrote "dumb, catchy hooks". He read German Philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche and Franz Kafka. Jim Morrison is who got ME into reading Nietzsche and Kafka. Jim had a GENIUS IQ of 149. He met Ray Manzarek in UCLA Film School. He was going to be a filmmaker before he told Ray about his poetry lyrics and they formed The Doors. Jim Morrison was amazing. He was definitely more than you see if that falsified movie Oliver Stone put out in 1991 where Stone made up some of Jim's history for "dramatic license". Jim started out with drugs for enlightenment. He'd go out in the desert and just spend the day high as if he were on a spiritual journey. After the Miami Indecency Trial he went to Paris to unwind from it all fully intending to return to the states. He had a phone conversation with either Ray or Robby Krieger talking about how great the L.A. Woman album was coming along and how he couldn't wait to sing the songs live. His death on July 3, 1971 due to a cocaine-induced heart failure just happened to be when he was in a bathtub in Paris.

I read in one of his biography’s that he recorded the studio vocal performance on a boat load of pills, came staggering into the studio barely Able to walk and delivered the best take of this song

If you like The Doors and want to listen to something deep then you need to react to "The End". It doesn't get any deeper than that song. It's why Francis Ford Coppola chose it to open his movie "Apocalypse Now". One of the greatest songs ever created by The Doors.

Just want to reiterate bob duerwald's comment and replies on the greatness the Doors' song Spanish Caravan. So good.

Wanna go deep? Read his book of his poems. It's called" THE LIZARD KING" which was his nickname.STUNNING!

Great song.

Jay-Z sampled the album version for his song “takeover” 😎

The lizard 🦎 king 🤴

If you want to do more Doors reactions check out this live version of Bo Diddley's "Who do you love": The Doors - Who Do You Love (Live At The Matrix, 1967) A more somber version of course. Leave it to the Doors to interpret it that way. But I think you'd find it interesting.

The real shit the doors

I love the doors!!!

Dope!

The Doors fucking rule!! Straight up!!!

My favorite lineWas you traded your time for a hand full of dimes

Loved your reaction to The Doors.....Jim wad an American poet........no one better at his craft

By the time I was 7 years old I was a Rock n Roller influenced by the Doors , last born in the 50s 62 years old now....

My landlord sells original photos of Jim Morrison and the Doors in concerts.

When Morrison said "we got the numbers" that was slang for pot.

One of the most bluesy bands I’ve ever heard

Please, please, please react to The Doors song “Not to Touch The Earth” It’s among the Doorsiest of all Doors songs.

"Sampling is stealing!!"

My fave Doors tune

Honestly, have not heard this one before but I think it might be my favourite. 🎵🎙

Ground breaking thank you Jim morrison

Takeover by Jay-Z, classic Kanye sample on Blueprint 1 "The old get old And the young get stronger May take a week And it may take longer They got the guns But we got the numbers" Peak 60s counterculture lyricism there

i thought they'd pick the studio recording. not sure what concert that's from

GUYS!!! Where did you get this video???? My jaw is on the floor.

The Doors were amazing - part of the soundtrack of my youth. Live recordings are much different than the studio, suggest you listen to studio versions first, if possible. "The End" and "When The Music's Over" are their magni opi, but nearly any song from their multiple albums are worth a reaction. Thanks!!

Lots of people dropped acid or mushrooms to them!!! Perfect music!!!

You guys gotta play' Who knows what tomorrow may bring ' By Traffic Its a funky & Groovy song

60's to 1975 songs were REVOLUTIONARY!!

A Band founded by Beatniks, poetry and cultural revolution. Morrison was a son of a Navy Admiral, only makes sense!

🙏RIP JIM🙏

Vibin'

Great pick from the doors

"Your ballroom days are over night is drawin' near shadows of the evening crawl across the year" damn.

Jim Morrison had to fight off women!!! This song is about Vietnam war...also their song "The Unknown Soldier" is hypnotic. They were a group you got high to!!!

The Doors are DEEP

AMAZING SONG......M JUST AMAZINGGGGG

One of my favorites!!!

Funny how this song still apply today...

”And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.“ ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭6‬:‭2‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Strongs G5115 (5 to 1, 1 and 5) from the base of 5088; a bow (apparently as the simplest fabric):--bow.

😊😊❤❤❤❤

I think you would appreciate the band/album "It's a Beautiful Day" (1969) and the songs 'Hot Summer Day' (soft), 'Wasted Union Blues' (hard)...(they had a hit with "White Bird" but you can wait on that until or if you decide you want to hear more)

Jim was so hot. ☮️💟

#reaction to The Doors "the end" long version. Giggles*

Rappers and Hip Hop (steals) samples all classic rock and soul!!

My Sidepiece! Pokey Bear! Louisiana music at its best!

U must do The Soft Parade

The blood on the flowers was actually from a video they made themselves as a promo for their song The Unknown Soldier... check it out

Saw them live in '69

He's speaking about anti-war protests!!!

Sorta revolutionary blues, then around 3:20 it turns into dirty angry blues with some psychedelia for good measure. Morrison singing on top of some incredible drum licks. Love Morrison's poetry and vocals but man, that band could riff pretty hard as well.

Do :"THE END!" SERIOUSLY@

Shalom sweeties❤

When rappers/hip hop samples (steal) other people's music they SHOULD credit the original. Countless times people assume some rapper/hip hop artist created it. It's bad enough they can't make their own music. But if they're going to do it or if it is allowed, then they should have to credit the original artist otherwise it is THEFT !

Light my fire the graveyard poem version ✌️

witch live album is this from, never heard this live edition before?

Give the poetry album a try ghost song specifically, Jim recorded his poetry without the band years later they found the recordings and got together and added music

Welcome to V, boy.

San Antonio , Texas

Need more live concerts or videos!!!!!

I do
