10 Final Songs That Will Give You Chills
9. Riders on the Storm - The Doors
LA Woman was never supposed to be the final Doors album. During the recordings for their big comeback, Jim Morrison decided to take a bit of a break by working on his poetry in Paris with his girlfriend, before ultimately succumbing to heart failure in a bathtub a short time after arriving. While these kind of tragedies happen all the time, it does make that final track on the album a bit more ominous.
As dark as the Doors were known for getting, Riders on the Storm is genuinely haunting, being a play on an old cowboy tune about ghosts soaring through the sky. Outside of the song's references to a killer on the road, the rest of the song's lyrics almost sound like Morrison speaking from beyond the grave, as he talks about being thrown into the world unwillingly and the damning line of "this world on you depends...our life will never end."
Towards the end of the song, we get the final bits that Morrison recorded on this Earth, as he whispers the title for the final chorus while everyone jams in the background. For as many people have tried to capture some paranormal activity on record, this is probably the closest to a ghost that you can find pressed to vinyl.
