The Doors - Blue Sunday

“Blue Sunday” is the 5th  track from the album Morrison Hotel, recorded between November 1969 and January 1970, in Los Angeles. The album has been released February 9, 1970.

The Doors wrote this in 1965, when they were first starting out. For this album, they wanted to get back to their early sound, and felt recording this would be a good way to do it.

Radio stations usually play this together with the jaunty track “Peace Frog,” which runs before it on the album. “Blue Sunday” is a stark contrast, with a dirge quality to the music but upbeat lyrics where Jim Morrison sings about finding his own true love.

Morrison changed the tone of his voice to a crooning style when he segued to this from “Peace Frog.”

The Morrison Hotel was a real place. It was a beaten-down hotel in Los Angeles, and a picture of it was used on the album cover.

The cover photo was taken by Henry Diltz at Morrison Hotel on South Hope Street in Downtown Los Angeles. The band weren’t given permission to photograph, so did so while the clerk was called away from the desk. The band jumped right behind the windows and hit their places without shuffling as Diltz took the shot. The rear cover features a photograph of the Hard Rock Café at nearby 300 East 5th Street.

Blue Sunday este o melodie compusă de Jim Morrison în 1965, la începuturile Doors, dar a fost inclusă doar în 1970 pe albumul Morrison Hotel, fiind a cincea melodie de prima față a albumului. Jim Morrison cântă despre găsirea adevăratei iubiri. Este posibil ca Jim să fi compus melodia  cu gândul la Pamela Courson, pe care el a cunoscut-o în 1965.

Morrison Hotel a fost un loc real. A fost un hotel neglijat în Los Angeles, poza hotelului apare pe coperta albumului.
