“The End” by The Doors
The End by The Doors is one of the best songs from one of the most legendary rock albums ever released. The song was written by the band’s lead singer, Jim Morrison, who based it on his painful breakup with his girlfriend. It runs for a good 11 minutes and 43 seconds.
The first official recording of the song was done without any overdubbing. The Doors also went on to perform the song at the closing of their final live concert, as a group of four. The song has been used in many movies over the years, most famously in the 1979 film, Apocalypse Now.
