“People Are Strange” is a haunting and psychedelic song by the American rock band The Doors, released in 1967 as a single and featured on their second album, Strange Days. Written by Jim Morrison and Robby Krieger, the song explores feelings of alienation, loneliness, and how the world appears different when one feels disconnected from others.
With its eerie melody, carnival-like rhythm, and Jim Morrison’s mysterious vocals, “People Are Strange” captures the darker side of the human psyche. The lyrics reflect themes of identity and perception, expressing how emotions can distort our view of the world and the people in it.
The song’s surreal atmosphere and philosophical depth make it a quintessential example of The Doors’ unique sound and artistic vision during the psychedelic era of the late 1960s. “People Are Strange” continues to resonate with listeners who have ever felt like outsiders in society.
