1. QOTSA- Lullabies to Paralyze
2. Sam Roberts- Chemical City
3. Jimi Hendrix- Ultimate Experience
4. Jim Morrison- An American Prayer
5. Megadeth- The World Needs a Hero
I havent listened to Jim's spoken album for quite some time, I thought it was time to have another listen, its very strange and unique. Its the only poetry I own and its rather compelling, very strange and kinda vulgar really. Not surprised it didn't penetrate the mainstream back then. But I think he was talented in writing poems and lyrics and meshing them together, its one of the things that makes The Doors special, nobody's done it better. [imo]
I can make the earth stop in
its tracks. I made the
blue cars go away.
I can make myself invisible or small.
I can become gigantic & reach the
farthest things. I can change
the course of nature.
I can place myself anywhere in
space or time.
I can summon the dead.
I can perceive events on other worlds,
in my deepest inner mind,
& in the minds of others.
I can
I am
