Universal Mind, by The Doors.
How large did The Doors and Jim Morrison’s poetry loom in my teenage years? I’d say those two things, as channeled through the Oliver Stone movie (Val Kilmer!), were maybe the biggest influence on my attempts at writing poetry, songs, letters, a story for myself, screenplays, going to film school, and lots more, with connections to summer camp and even then so much of it was mine and mine alone. (Yes, I thought this as a teenager.)
This song is just another riff for Jim to Jim over and for Ray to Ray over, but I like it. Not sure how it got there, but it popped into my head tonight and I thought I’d try it out.
A little backup vocal and one run with the MIDI keyboard to add the requisite organ.
