Jim Morrison Zitate
seite 2

James Douglas „Jim“ Morrison war ein US-amerikanischer Sänger, Songwriter und Lyriker. Er war der Frontmann der Rockband The Doors.

Jim Morrison gilt als Rockmusiker, der die Fantasien, Visionen, Ängste und die Selbstdestruktivität der Generation der späten 1960er Jahre artikulierte und exemplarisch auslebte. Er zählt zu den charismatischsten Persönlichkeiten der Rockmusik dieser Zeit. Gemeinsam mit den Doors erweiterte er das Repertoire der Rockmusik um mehrschichtige Konzeptstücke und Formen des Rocktheaters. Morrison, von dem zu Lebzeiten drei Gedichtbände veröffentlicht wurden, nutzte die Doors-Konzerte regelmäßig für spontane Rezitationen poetischer Texte. Er produzierte einen Dokumentarfilm über die Doors sowie einen experimentellen Spielfilm. Morrison zählt zu den zentralen Symbolfiguren der Hippiezeit und -kultur.

Obwohl Morrison sich durch seinen Rock-Bariton und poetische Songtexte einen Namen gemacht hat, wurde er in späteren Jahren meist mit einem aufrührerischen und selbstzerstörerischen Lebensstil assoziiert. Der frühe Tod Morrisons, dessen nähere Umstände nicht mit Sicherheit geklärt werden konnten, trug erheblich zur Legendenbildung um seine Person bei. Wikipedia

Jim Morrison: Zitate auf Englisch

“There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirming like a toad.”

"Riders on the Storm" from the album L.A. Woman (1971).

“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.”

Variante: Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.

“There are things known
and there are things unknown
and in between are the doors.”

Aldous Huxley, using the term "the doors of perception" which originated with William Blake in The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. It is sometimes credited to Morrison because he cited it in interviews as the inspiration for the name The Doors and without always crediting Huxley as the source.
Misattributed
Variante: There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

“Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel?”

As quoted in Jim Morrison: Ten Years Gone (1981) by Lizzie James writing for Creem Magazine http://archives.waiting-forthe-sun.net/Pages/Interviews/JimInterviews/TenYearsGone.html
Kontext: People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.

“Now listen to this…
Ill tell you about texas radio and the big beat”

An American Prayer (1978)
Kontext: Now listen to this...
Ill tell you about texas radio and the big beat
Soft driven, slow and mad Like some new language
Reaching your head with the cold, sudden fury of a divine messenger
Let me tell you about heartache and the loss of god
Wandering, wandering in hopeless night
Out here in the perimeter there are no stars...
Out here we is stoned...
Immaculate.

“Alchemy is an erotic science, involved in buried aspects of reality, aimed at purifying and transforming all being and matter.”

The Lords and the New Creatures: Poems (1969), The Lords: Notes on Vision
Kontext: Few would defend a small view of Alchemy as "Mother of Chemistry", and confuse its true goal with those external metal arts. Alchemy is an erotic science, involved in buried aspects of reality, aimed at purifying and transforming all being and matter. Not to suggest that material operations are ever abandoned. The adept holds to both the mystical and physical work.

“Don't worry, the operation won't take long and you'll feel much better in the morning.”

Onstage introduction to The Celebration of the Lizard
Kontext: Alright listen man, we got a special treat for you now. This is a little tour-de-force that we've only done a couple times in front of strangers, and it starts off kinda quiet, so if everybody just kinda relax, take a few deep breaths, think about your eventual end and what's gonna happen tonight; and we'll try and do something good to your head, right man?
I don't know if you're aware of it, but this whole evening is being taped for eternity and beyond that too. And so listen man, if you want to be represented in eternity with some uncouth language then I hope you'll stand up on the top of your seat and shout it out very clearly or we're not going to get it on tape.
Don't worry, the operation won't take long and you'll feel much better in the morning.

“The Lords have secret entrances and they know disguises. But they give themselves away in minor ways. Too much glint of light in the eye. A wrong gesture. Too long and curious a glance.”

The Lords and the New Creatures: Poems (1969), The Lords: Notes on Vision
Kontext: The Lords. Events take place beyond our knowledge or control. Our lives are lived for us. We can only try to enslave others. But gradually, special perceptions are being developed. The idea of the "Lords" is beginning to form in some minds. We should enlist them into bands of perceivers to tour the labyrinth during their mysterious nocturnal appearances. The Lords have secret entrances and they know disguises. But they give themselves away in minor ways. Too much glint of light in the eye. A wrong gesture. Too long and curious a glance.

“Death makes angels of us all
and gives us wings
where we had shoulders
smooth as raven's
claws”

An American Prayer (1978)
Variante: Death makes angels of us all
and gives us wings
where we had shoulders
smooth a raven´s claws…

“I'll tell you this —
No eternal reward will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.”

"The Wasp (Texas Radio And The Big Beat)" on the albums L. A. Woman (1971) and An American Prayer (1978)
Variante: No heavenly power will forgive us now for wasting the dawn.

“This is the strangest life I’ve ever known.”

"Waiting for the Sun" on the album Morrison Hotel (1970)
