Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about The Soft Parade. By Songfacts®.

"The Soft Parade" the title track to The Doors' fourth album. It sold well, but many critics felt it was a sellout to pop music. Their next album, Morrison Hotel, was a return to their roots and was recorded a lot faster.

Doors frontman Jim Morrison put the lyrics together out of pieces of poetry he had written, which explains why it's rather abstract.

Many of the images are of people walking along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, where Morrison often hung out.
