STRANGE DAYS (ELEKTRA, 1967)

Music is your only friend
Until the end

When the Music’s Over is a song by The Doors — and probably one of their best-known tunes as well. And you guessed it: it’s also one of my favorite songs by the band — otherwise I wouldn’t be writing this introduction.

This nearly 11-minute-long track is a raw, powerful, and hypnotic journey that showcases the band at their most experimental. With its dynamic shifts, dark lyrical imagery, and intense spoken-word-style vocals by Jim Morrison, it really captures the essence of what The Doors were all about — pushing boundaries both musically and lyrically.

It’s not background music; it demands attention. And once you get into it, it’s hard to shake off.
