 Третий альбом «Дверей» стал завершением первого условно выделяемого психоделического этапа в творчестве группы. Нашему вниманию предлагается достаточно очень интересных вещей, многие из которых звучат менее жестко по сравнению с предыдущими работами. Начало в виде поп-хит-сингла «Hello, I Love You», написанного еще до выпуска дебютного альбома в качестве дани уважения The Kinks, зажигает по полной – под эту вещь с прикольно звучащими клавишными, которая непременно застрянет у вас в голове, так и хочется отплясывать с какой-нибудь девушкой. Неплохо звучит также «Love Street», фортепьянный блюз в основном балладного типа, хотя пару раз музыка становится чуть быстрее и энергичнее; лирика автобиографична и посвящена отношениям Джима с Памелой Корсон. Настоящей жемчужиной выглядит «Not to Touch the Earth», весьма эмоциональная и тревожно звучащая тема, каковой эффект особенно достигается за счет достаточно зловещих клавишных под громогласные ударные; вещь является классикой психоделики, представляя собой отрывок из так и незавершенной сюиты «The Celebration of the Lizard», которая должна была состоять из семи частей общей продолжительностью примерно 17 минут и в которой Моррисон представлял себя этаким шаманом, ведущим своих последователей к своему дому. На смену мрака приходит светлая грусть, изображаемая в гитарно-фортепьянной балладе «Summer’s Almost Gone». Мажорный ритм-энд-блюз «Wintertime Love» в ритме вальса, звучащий меньше двух минут, выглядит как-то уж слишком просто на фоне предыдущих композиций, хотя присутствие клавишных, звучащих как клавесин, в этой романтической композиции весьма неплохо. Несколько последующих тем показывают желание Моррисона проделать еще несколько экспериментов со звучанием: антивоенная «The Unknown Soldier» состоит из стольких частей, что кажется, будто в ней не 3 минуты с гаком, а гораздо больше – начинается она с тревожного органного вступления, потом следует рок с джазовыми элементами, в середину включен довольно продолжительный кусок «реальной музыки» (мы слышим, как маршируют солдаты, как им отдают приказы, а потом раздаются выстрелы – видимо, кого-то расстреляли), затем куплет повторяется с более тяжелым звучанием, а в конце мы слышим звуки толпы, приветствующей кого-то под колокольный звон; «Spanish Caravan» запоминается прекрасной гитарой, играющей, естественно, в стиле фламенко, и странными звуками на заднем плане, появляющимися ближе к концу под жесткую гитару и переливающиеся клавишные; «My Wild Love» представляет собой один большой прикол – все поют а капелла, слышны прихлопы, притопы, прикольные перкуссии и куча других странных звуков. Мажорный ритм-энд-блюз «We Could Be So Good Together» и фортепьянная баллада «Yes, the River Knows» тоже являются качественными композициями на романтическую тему, а завершается альбом прикольной энергичной и достаточно жесткой вещью «Five to One», с запоминающимся драммингом и текстом, в котором Джим нападает на хиппи за то, что они смогли превратиться в достойную политическую силу, которая могла бы влиять на происходящее в мире (хотя бы в связи с Вьетнамской войной, которая тогда еще и не думала завершаться); такое ощущение, кстати, что Джим пел эту вещь выпивши, поскольку голос звучит хрипловато, а местами достаточно агрессивно. Сочетание столь разнородных композиций на одном альбоме может кого-то и отпугнуть, однако становится понятно, что эта группа способна вызывать удивление. Стоит также сказать о слишком маленьком звучании альбома (около 33 минут), что для того времени уже большая редкость, особенно если вспомнить, что первые два диска группы были минут на десять больше. |

To make the queen of the angels sigh?
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
Hello, I love you
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello, I love you
Let me jump in your game
She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky
Her arms are wicked, and her legs are long
When she moves my brain screams out this song
Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for something sweet
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
I want you
Hello
I need my baby
Hello, Hello, Hello, Hello
LOVE STREET
She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens
She has robes and she has monkeys
Lazy diamond studded flunkies
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you
She has wisdom and knows what to do
She has me and she has you
I see you live on Love Street
There's this store where the creatures meet
I wonder what they do in there
Summer Sunday and a year
I guess I like it fine, so far
She lives on Love Street
Lingers long on Love Street
She has a house and garden
I would like to see what happens
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
NOT TO TOUCH THE EARTH
Not to touch the earth
Not to see the sun
Nothing left to do, but
Run, run, run
Let's run
Let's run
House upon the hill
Moon is lying still
Shadows of the trees
Witnessing the wild breeze
C'mon baby run with me
Let's run
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
The mansion is warm, at the top of the hill
Rich are the rooms and the comforts there
Red are the arms of luxuriant chairs
And you won't know a thing till you get inside
Dead president's corpse in the driver's car
The engine runs on glue and tar
Come on along, not goin' very far
To the East to meet the Czar
Run with me
Run with me
Run with me
Let's run
Whoa!
Some outlaws lived by the side of a lake
The minister's daughter's in love with the snake
Who lives in a well by the side of the road
Wake up, girl, we're almost home
Ya, c'mon!
We should see the gates by mornin'
We should be inside the evenin'
Sun, sun, sun
Burn, burn, burn
Soon, soon, soon
Moon, moon, moon
I will get you
Soon!
Soon!
Soon!
I am the Lizard King
I can do anything
SUMMER'S ALMOST GONE
Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
Almost gone
Yeah, it's almost gone
Where will we be
When the summer's gone?
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burn gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' sea
When summer's gone
Where will we be
Where will we be
Where will we be
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burn gold into our hair
At night, we swim the laughin' sea
When summer's gone
Where will we be
Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
We had some good times
But they're gone
The winter's comin' on
Summer's almost gone
WINTERTIME LOVE
Wintertime winds blow cold the season
Fallen in love, I'm hopin' to be
Wind is so cold, is that the reason?
Keeping you warm, your hands touching me
Come with me dance, my dear
Winter's so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be
Winter time winds blue and freezin'
Comin' from northern storms in the sea
Love has been lost, is that the reason?
Trying desperately to be free
Come with me dance, my dear
Winter's so cold this year
And you are so warm
My wintertime love to be
La, la, la, la
Come with me dance, my dear
Winter's so cold this year
You are so warm
My wintertime love to be
THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER
Wait until the war is over
And we're both a little older
The unknown soldier
Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Unborn living, living, dead
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
And it's all over
For the unknown soldier
It's all over
For the unknown soldier
Hut
Hut
Hut ho hee up
Hut
Hut
Hut ho hee up
Hut
Hut
Hut ho hee up
Comp'nee
Halt
Preeee-zent!
Arms!
Make a grave for the unknown soldier
Nestled in your hollow shoulder
The unknown soldier
Breakfast where the news is read
Television children fed
Bullet strikes the helmet's head
And, it's all over
The war is over
It's all over
The war is over
Well, all over, baby
All over, baby
Oh, over, yeah
All over, baby
Wooooo, hah-hah
All over
All over, baby
Oh, woa-yeah

SPANISH CARAVAN
Carry me Caravan take me away
Take me to Portugal, take me to Spain
Andalusia with fields full of grain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can
Trade winds find Galleons lost in the sea
I know where treasure is waiting for me
Silver and gold in the mountains of Spain
I have to see you again and again
Take me, Spanish Caravan
Yes, I know you can
MY WILD LOVE
My wild love went ridin'
She rode all the day
She wrote to the devil
And asked him to pay
The devil was wiser
It's time to repent
He asked her to give back
The money she spent
My wild love went ridin'
She rode to the sea
She gathered together
Some shells for her head
She rode and she rode on
She rode for a while
Then stopped for an evenin'
And lay her head down
She rode on to Christmas
She rode to the farm
She rode to Japan
And we entered a town
By this time the river
Had changed one degree
She asked for the people
To let her go free
My wild love is crazy
She screams like a bird
She moans like a cat
When she wants to be heard
My wild love went ridin'
She rode for an hour
She rode and she rested
And then she rode on
Ride, c'mon

Take this pink ribbon off my eyes
I'm exposed and it's no big suprise
don't you think I know exactly where I stand
this world is forcing me to hold your hand
couse I'm just a girl little ol' me
don't let me out of your sight
I'm just a girl all pretty and petite
so don't let me have any rights
oh...I've had it up to here!
The moment that I step outside
so many reasons
for me to run and hide
I can't those little things
i hold so dear
couse it's all those little things
that I fear
couse I'm just a girl
I'd rather not be
couse they won't let me drive
late at night
I'm just a girl
guess I'm some kind of freak
couse they all sit and stare
with their eyes
I'm just a girl
take a good look at me
just your typical prototype
oh... I've had it up to here!
oh... am I making my self clear?
I'm just a girl
I'm just a girl in the world...
thats all that you'll let me be
I'm just a girl livin' in captivity
your rule of thumb
makes me worry some
I'm just a girl what's my destiny
what I've succumbed to
is making me numb
I'm just a girl my apologies
what i've become is so burdensome
I'm just a girl lucky me
tweedle-dum there's no comparison
oh...I've had it up to!
oh...I've had it up to!
Oh...I've had it up to here.
