brief thing on doors

I think im finally understanding why the Doors seem so unique for a rock band. The lyrics are basically always sorta like film noir. Morrison was basically the only rock writer, it seems to me, who made these little "dark stories" out of his song lyrics.  In nearly every notable song from them, there seems to be a tiny plot inserted within, that could easily be pulled out and plugged into a film noir script, and work perfectly. Take, for example, this little line, from the song "LA Woman":

 Motel, money, murder, madness

Lets change the mood from glad to sadness

Its a strange little line and doesn't really seem notable -- "surely something like it has been in a million rock songs?"--- but the truth is that lines such as these really haven't been in a million rock songs. In fact, they almost , in my opinion, haven't even really been in rap songs either, which are usually considered so gritty. Rap songs, for example, don't manage to paint a true "film noir" image for the listener, because usually the criminal in a rap song has already escaped, and is thus speaking from a point of view of success, after the crime is over, or he's just telling you way too many details about the crime, so the mystery goes away. Theres also the additional fact that rappers tend to write nearly everything in the first person, and Morrison had the rather odd habit (for rock and roll at least) of putting things in third person. One of the most famous lines from him, that we hear in "The End", essentially is prose, inserted into a rock song: 

The killer awoke before dawn,

he put his boots on 

He took a face from the ancient gallery

and he walked on down the Hall

In my opinion this third person writing style, within a rock song, almost lived and died entirely w/ Morrison. For some reason, future rock writers pretty much seem to have abandoned it, usually instead embracing songs that are always first person--same as rap--and, of course, not usually embracing songs that have the weird instrumentation the Doors had, whilst also discussing killers and murderers, et cetera. The issue with so many modern rockers who do discuss crazy "film noir" esque topics is that they insist on making you "hear" the sorrow, via their forever distorted rhythm guitars. The Doors, instead, literally had no guitar for a rhytm section, and this is why their band appears so oddly deranged, even all these years later. They were entirely dependent on Manzareks piano, and once you combined that with Morrisons weird noir lyrics, it really did work wonders. A once in a lifetime thing....
