The Doors -The soft parade (40th anniversary edition) [with lyrics] celebrant9 2009-09-04 | "The soft parade"Words & music: Jim MorrisonAlbum: "The soft parade" (40th Anniversary Edition)This new version of "The soft parade" features a poem in the beggining, sang tenderly by Morrison.I consider this song (along with "The end"), the group's ultimate mastepiece. Hope you enjoy the slideshow.PS: You should also check the EPIC live performance of "The soft parade" at the PBS show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuZUrjWz-PE"All our lives we sweat and savebuilding for a shallow gravemust be something else we say somehow to defend this place"PS 2: Offensive/idiotic comments will be erased. John, Ray, Jim and Robbie have opened "the doors of perception" for all of us; if you do not wish to enter,then don't.Thank you :)PS3: I have added the lyrics of the song in the form of subtitles. In the end of the song, Jim sings over his own voice many different lyrics that were previously used in the song, so it was very hard to put down everything he says in the tiny space of a subtitle! Forgive me please :) PS 4: Jim's little poem in the beginning:"I am troubled immeasurably by your eyes,I am struck by the feather of your soft reply,The sound of glass speaks quick disdain,And conceals what your eyes fight to explain."
