"Riders on the Storm" is a song by American rock band the Doors, released in June 1971 by Elektra Records as the second single from the band's sixth studio album, L.A. Woman. It is known for being the last song that Jim Morrison recorded prior to his sudden death in Paris on July 3, 1971.

Contents

The song reached number 14 on the U.S Billboard Hot 100, [4] [5] number 22 on the UK Singles Chart, [6] and number seven in the Netherlands. [7]

Background and composition

"Riders on the Storm" has been classified as a psychedelic rock, [8] jazz rock, [9] [10] art rock song, [11] and a precursor of gothic music. [12] [13] According to guitarist Robby Krieger and keyboardist Ray Manzarek, it was inspired by the country song "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend", written by Stan Jones and popularized by Vaughn Monroe. [14] The lyrics were written and brought to rehearsal by Morrison, of which a portion of it refers to hitchhiking killer Billy "Cockeyed" Cook, who was the subject of the 1953 film, The Hitch-Hiker . [9] Manzarek noted that some lines express Morrison's love to his companion Pamela Courson. [15] The track is notated in the key of E Minor; [16] the main keyboard riff descends throughout the pitches of Dorian Mode scale, [17] and features a progression of i–IV–i7–IV. [18]

It is popularly believed that "Riders on the Storm" is the song that longtime Doors producer Paul A. Rothchild disparaged as "cocktail music", precipitating his departure from the L.A. Woman sessions, which was corroborated by guitarist Robby Krieger. [14] [19] Rothchild himself denied that claim, stating that he actually applied the epithet to "Love Her Madly". [20] [21] Following Rothchild's departure, longtime engineer Bruce Botnick was selected to take over production duties, alongside the Doors themselves. [22]

"Riders on the Storm" was recorded at the Doors Workshop in December 1970 with the assistance of Botnick. Later in January 1971, after Morrison had recorded his main vocals, the group gathered at Poppi Studios to complete the mixing of L.A. Woman, [23] at which Morrison then whispered the lyrics over them to create an echo effect. [24] It was the last song recorded by all four members of the Doors, as well as the last song recorded by Morrison to be released in his lifetime. [14] The single was released in June 1971, entering the Billboard Hot 100 the week ending July 3, 1971, the same week Morrison died. [4] [5]

Heidegger's influence

Speaking with Krieger and Manzarek, the German philosopher Thomas Collmer argued that the line "Into this world we're thrown" recalls philosopher Martin Heidegger's concept of "thrownness"—human existence as a basic state. In 1963, at Florida State University in Tallahassee, Morrison heard an influential lecture for him, which discussed philosophers who dealt critically with the philosophical tradition, including Friedrich Nietzsche and Heidegger. [25] In 2009, Simon Critchley dedicated his column in The Guardian to Heidegger's thrownness, and explained it using the aforementioned verse of the song. [26] The connection between the thrownness into the world and a dog's life was anticipated by the anti-Heideggerian author Ernst Bloch in his main work The Principle of Hope (1954–1959). [27] [28]

Legacy

I was in San Francisco with a friend at Christmas and we were coming down off some blue window pane acid. It was late at night and we were listening to a night time radio station and this came on. Throughout the song there is the whispering of the title tracking the lead vocal and that whisper was so loud. It was in my ear, in my head. I was brain-washed. I just love the real sound effects, too, the rain and the storm. You can just drift off into your own film scenario.

–Siouxsie Sioux [29]

Frequently listed among the Doors' greatest songs, [30] [31] "Riders on the Storm" has remained on classic rock radio playlists. [32] In 2012, New York's Q104.3 ranked it the 498th best classic-rock song of all time. [33]

Doors' drummer, John Densmore, released a book in 1990 entitled Riders on the Storm, [34] detailing the story of his life and his time with the group. In 2010, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame as a recording "of lasting qualitative or historical significance". [35] [36] Its lyrical content has inspired films such as The Hitcher (1986) [13] and Point Break (1991). [37] A remix of "Riders on the Storm" (feat. Snoop Dogg) by Fredwreck was used as title music for Need for Speed: Underground 2 , released in 2004. [38]
