Very cool! Nice yet unexpected Latin feel to it.

Refreshing. It's got that Latin-esque backing, as Todd mentioned, but still a Doorsey feel, in my mind. Look, invented two words in one sentence. That low Eb harp is one I seldom pick up, and then I pick it up just to move it out of the way. I may have to give it another try on a "change of pace" song.

Thank you guys. To my ears Doors had a lot of latin/bossa nova rhythms in their music. As a matter of the fact Light My Fire's verse is very much latin style in their own version. If I remember right Doors' drummer John Densmore said in his book that he liked latin music and jazz a lot and put that feel in the music of Doors on purpose.
