Moonlight Drive
"Moonlight Drive" is a song from The Doors' second album ''Strange Days'', and a B-side of "Love Me Two Times". Though a conventional blues arrangement, "Moonlight Drive"'s defining feature was its slightly off-beat rhythm, and Robby Krieger's 'Bottle-neck' guitar which creates an eerie sound.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Doors )〕 The song was recorded during the group's first demo recordings at Trans World Pacific Studios.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Moonlight Drive - The Doors - Listen, Appearances, Song Review - AllMusic )〕
The song is known to fans as being one of the first written by lead singer Jim Morrison. According to the Morrison biography ''No One Here Gets Out Alive'' by Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugerman, Morrison wrote "Moonlight Ride" during his halcyon days on a rooftop in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, California in 1965. Later on, when he happened upon friend and future band member Ray Manzarek, he uttered the memorable lines, "Let's swim to the moon, let's climb through the tide, penetrate the evening that the city sleeps to hide." Reportedly Manzarek was awestruck, and they decided to form a band. Morrison already had a band name picked out: The Doors.〔
Recordings of live performances of the song reveal a link to a sort of death by drowning - whether murder, suicide or simply going too far. Morrison sings in live performances, probably improvising, referring to "fishes for your friends" and "pearls for your eyes" conjuring an image of a rotten corpse lying at the bottom of the ocean while simultaneously referring to Shakespeare.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Doors )〕
