Waiting For The Sun
The Doors · Morrison Hotel [1970]
Standing there on freedom's shore.
Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun.
Can you feel it, now that spring has come?
That it's time to live In the scattered sun.
Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun.
Waiting for the sun.
Waiting...
Waiting for you to
Come along.
Waiting for you to
Hear my song.
Waiting for you to come along.
Waiting for you to Tell me what went wrong.
This is the strangest life I've ever known.
Can't you feel it, now that spring has come?
That it's time to live In the scattered sun.
Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun. Waiting for the sun
Waiting For The Sun
Waiting For The Sun serves as the title track for The Doors' third studio album, released in 1968. The recording captures the band's evolving sound during a period of significant creative transition. While Jim Morrison's poetic delivery remains central, the track showcases a more relaxed, blues-inflected approach compared to the psychedelic intensity of their earlier work. The song reflects the group's growing confidence and willingness to experiment with different textures within their rock framework. As a key song in their discography, it highlights the band's ability to blend introspective lyrics with a driving musical rhythm. The track remains a staple of their live performances and continues to resonate with listeners who appreciate the nuanced shifts in their musical direction during the late 1960s.
