It really is remarkable that 51 years after Jim Morrisons death, The Doors still have one last song unheard by the public. “Paris Blues”, the infamous tape that so many Doors fans wanted to get ahold of, was finally released in November. Only two copies of this tape exist, one was lost, the other recorded over by keyboardist Ray Manzarek’s son, Pablo. A lot of careful editing made it possible to put the song back together without Pablo’s babbling. It is not sure exactly when this song was recorded, but it falls somewhere between The Soft Parade and LA Woman. However, “Paris Blues” is very reminiscent of the bluesy sound of LA Woman. One line, “Going to the City of Love, gonna start my life over again”, really stuck with me. When I first heard it, it honestly left me a little heartbroken. If you are unfamiliar with The Doors, singer Jim Morrison moved to Paris where he got sober, until one night it is believed that he was given drugs and he later died from an overdose. Ultimately, between the classic bluesy sound and the poetically sad lyrics, “Paris Blues” feels like an appropriate closer for The Doors discography.
