Break On Through (To The Other Side)
The Doors · Forrest Gump [1994]
You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried?
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She gets high, she gets high, she gets high
She gets high, she gets high
I found an island in your arms
A country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lied
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Made the scene from week to week
Day to day, hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, break on through
Break on through, break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
We chased our pleasures here
Dug our treasures there
But can you still recall
The time we cried?
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody loves my baby
She gets high, she gets high, she gets high
She gets high, she gets high
I found an island in your arms
A country in your eyes
Arms that chain us
Eyes that lied
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Made the scene from week to week
Day to day, hour to hour
The gate is straight
Deep and wide
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through to the other side
Break on through, break on through
Break on through, break on through
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Break On Through (To The Other Side)
Released on The Doors' 1994 Forrest Gump soundtrack, this track reimagines the band's 1971 classic 'Break On Through (To The Other Side)' with a new arrangement. The song features Jim Morrison's signature falsetto vocals and the group's signature blend of rock and psychedelia. While the original appeared on L.A. Woman, this recording serves as a cinematic tribute to the film's themes of spiritual journey and self-discovery. It captures the band's mid-1970s sound, characterized by its atmospheric textures and Morrison's poetic lyrics about transcending boundaries. The piece stands as a notable example of The Doors' enduring influence on film scores and their ability to adapt their catalog for modern audiences.
