“Well, I've been down so Goddamn long”

Featured on L.A.WOMAN, “Been Down So Long” nods to Richard Fariña’s famous 1966 novel, while the core lyric echoes a classic 1928 Blues line by Furry Lewis.

A confession, a road encounter, and a story that blurs the line between reality and performance.

In “The Hitchhiker,” Jim delivers a chilling monologue originally recorded for his experimental film HWY: AN AMERICAN PASTORAL.

The recording later became part of AN AMERICAN PRAYER, which is celebrating its anniversary this month, with The Doors’ music adding another dimension to the poem’s unsettling narrative.

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 and 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 in other worlds, in my deepest inner mind, and in the minds of others.

I can.

I am.
