Riders on the Storm by The Doors ~ Heaven or Hell

This is one of the most powerful songs ever recorded, and it truly was a team effort by The Doors, as the Rhythm Section, Ray Manzarek (Keyboards), Robby Krieger (Guitars) and John Densmore (Drums), created the PERFECT rhythmic backdrop to Morrison's stunning lyrical tale of the Duality of Man here within this Materialistic Plain/Plane...

The overall Stormy/Mystical feel to the song tied in perfectly with Morrison's story of the Prodigal Son seeking his Path, via the Metaphor of the Hitchhiker, an aspect of the Sixties that Morrison enjoyed and found fascinating...in much the same way that Woody Guthrie found "Hopping Trains" and "Cross-Tie Walking" fascinating to himself decades earlier...

Morrison was so enamored with the Journey of the Hitchhiker, that Morrison (a Film student as UCLA with Ray Manzarek) commissioned a short film, that he starred in (and is part of this Song's Video) entitled, HWY: An American Pastoral...

So, as you listen to and FEEL the lyrics of this song, note how in every moment we are gifted the Free Will Choice of either Good or Bad, Pure vs Evil, Right vs Wrong, God vs the Devil...

Left Brain, CARNAL...HELL, versus the Right Brain, Heaven Upon Earth...as the Bible states many times, one cannot serve two Masters at once, he must choose God or the Mammon...and for God's sake...

CHOOSE GOD...

So, Sit back, Relax, and Enjoy this masterpiece to the glory of God's Creation, and please remember friends that Colleen and I take care of 56 Animals here at our Animal Rescue Sanctuary, if you can comfortably afford to donate a little towards the costs of caring for our precious Family, we would greatly appreciate it...if you cannot afford to help, you can help in other ways, including sending us your Intentions of Love, of Strength and of Wisdom...you can send a monetary donation to: PayPal.me/TheShire777
