Highlighted mostly by short, radio-friendly tunes such as the bluesy "Love Me Two Times" and the cabaret-style "People Are Strange" and featuring a smattering of edgy recitations ("Horse Latitudes") and smoky rockers ("My Eyes Have Seen You"), the album features a centerpiece that was another ambitious extended track, "When the Music's Over." On it, Morrison railed at everything from organized religion to pollution, and his rallying cry--"We want the world, and we want it now!"--became a call to arms for the counterculture rising up around the band. --Billy Altman...

"A song that reminds you of someone
This song reminds me of a friend who is a bit of a weirdo.
First time we met, this song was playing on a radio. (in a caffe). It was kind of funny."
"Day 09 - A song that I know all the words to
Note: Actually, I'm not sure I know all the lyrics (I'm not so good with this...) but it is an easy song and it must be closed to it."

"Day 01 - Your favorite song
In my opinion this is the best song ever written, and it was written long before I was born. I found The Doors during my teenhood and they provided the perfect soundtrack for those years. At the time I embraced the words "music is your only friend until the end" as words to live by, and as I grow older and friends come and go it's remained true. Music has been there for me longer than anyone I've known besides my blood relatives, and it'll still be there for me when "
""The Doors stretch into darker, more baroque sounds on their second album. The catchy single, "Love Me Two Times," is overshadowed by the mood of foreboding and alienation in most songs, especially "People Are Strange" and "When the Music's Over," which demands, "We want the world and we want it now!"' "
