The story behind

"Riders on the Storm" is a song by the rock band The Doors, released as a single on the album L.A. Woman in June 1971. This was the last piece in which vocalist Jim Morrison participated before his death in Paris in 1971 due to heart failure caused by an overdose. The album reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, number 22 on the UK Singles Chart, and number 7 in the Netherlands. The song, in the style of psychedelic rock, was inspired by "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend", according to band member Robby Krieger. It is also related to the killer Billy Cook, who murdered a family that picked him up while hitchhiking, reflected in the line "There's a killer on the road". Performed in E Dorian mode, the song includes sounds of thunder and rain, along with a prominent electric piano solo on the Fender Rhodes performed by Ray Manzarek. The recording took place at the Doors Workshop in December 1970, co-produced by Bruce Botnick, the band's regular engineer. Morrison recorded the lead vocals and then whispered the lyrics to create an echo effect. This was the last song recorded by the members of The Doors and the last of Morrison's to be released before his death. The single entered the Billboard Hot 100 on July 3, 1971, the same day as Morrison's death. Philosopher Thomas Vollmer, in conversation with Krieger and Manzarek, suggests that the phrase "Into this world we're thrown" evokes Heidegger's concept of "thrownness". In 1963, Morrison attended a lecture at Florida State University that influenced his thinking, where the ideas of critical philosophers such as Nietzsche and Heidegger were discussed. The song appears in the series The Wonder Years in the first episode of the second season titled "In the Dark". "Riders on the Storm" is also the name of a tribute band to The Doors, formed by Manzarek and Krieger, and of a book by John Densmore. In 2004, Snoop Dogg recorded a new version of this song with the surviving members of The Doors for the video game Need for Speed: Underground 2.
