Official audio for The Doors - "People Are Strange" from 'Strange Days' (1967)

Stay in touch with The Doors…

*******************

The Doors channel is the official YouTube home of classic Doors live performances, The Doors albums, and contemporary performances and content honoring The Doors featuring John Densmore and Robby Krieger.

With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture.

The Doors’ arrival on the rock scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and albums that would become classics, but also of something much bigger – a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience. Refusing to be mere entertainers, the Los Angeles quartet relentlessly challenged, confronted and inspired their fans, leaping headfirst into the heart of darkness while other bands warbled about peace and love. Though they’ve had scores of imitators, there’s never been another band quite like them.

It's kind of strange how this song never gets old.

I love the story behind this song. Jim came to Robby and John one day and was very depressed. They told him to take a nice walk up to the top of the hill over looking LA. He came back an hour later with the whole song written on a piece of paper. It’s safe to say that Jim was a lyrical genius, and should not only be remembered as lead frontman of The Doors, but a brilliant poet as well.

I'm 70 and I now realize that I grew up in a most magical time for music. It was nothing but Cream, The Doors and Zeppelin. How lucky can a guy get?

[tvs]

After nearly 60 years, it dawned on me the other day just how much I enjoyed listening to the Doors back in late 60s.

[aidansalerno]

Robby Krieger really is one of the most under appreciated guitarists of all time

[SX_F_LMBS]

This song sounds so modern!! It’s so crazy it came out in 1967!!

[davidturner]

I find it mad how a song with one verse repeated four times sounds so good.

Just what I needed on a lonely night at 4am.

People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone
Women seem wicked
When you're unwanted
Streets are uneven
When you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
People are strange
When you're a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you're alone
Women seem wicked
When you're unwanted
Streets are uneven
When you're down
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange
All right, yeah
When you're strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you're strange
No one remembers your name
When you're strange
When you're strange
When you're strange

I love this song so much. People say jim was strange but everyone remembers his name.

[ExquisiteIdea]

When the guitar opens up on the last chorus and carries beautifully the end of the song... it is my one of my favorite moment of any rock song ever.

[Littlewingwas]

I can't echo enough the impact your music has had throughout my life. But I thank you Robbie, Ray, John and Jim from the bottom of my heart. Still riding the wave. Love and blessings always from Fiona Morrison, Manchester England 💙💚💜
