RIDERS ON THE STORM
One of my favorite Rock songs of all time RIDERS ON THE STORM by the DOORS,its errie melody and lyrics still hold me in a trance when I hear it. This is my visual interpretation of the song.
The tarot card THE CHARIOT, the Chariot reflects power of our unconscious needs and the importance of knowing how to direct them in a purposeful and powerful way. Ultimately this card is asking to take up the reins and understand what is driving us.
I used some original photos, clip art and stock photos to create it.
Riders on the storm
Riders on the storm
Into this house were born
Into this world were thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out on loan
Riders on the storm
Theres a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah
Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah

Very inspired and creative work ! That song used to really psyche me up for surfing because it was in a legendary surf movie from the early 1980’s called Storm Riders.

I don’t surf anymore – living in Sydney and not being close to the ocean I lost my dedication. But I’ll skate forever and still have a surfboard I keep thinking about dragging out if I see incredibly perfect surf – got very fussy ! :)
It was a great movie featuring Mark Richards, Wayne Lynch, Rabbit Batholomew, Gerry Lopez, Simon Anderson, Thornton Fallander, Tommy Carroll, and world champion windsurfer Robbie Naish.

mmmmmmm what a presence…!!!!!
blurring tempest… blurring heavens, and the “The Chariot” ready for his entering into a new realm.
Love those shadows.. human witness.. but absent in the real experience of the driver. For me… could be a rendering of the tarot card “The Chariot”, representing all the power and new energy.. ready for conquering of the automobilistic era….quite meaning, really. Would you like to write on it something related to what I am telling.. and submmit it to Tarot: Map of Consciousness? I would gladly accept it, Larry.I know that cars have an special meaning in your soul development…This is the Prince of them.

Great image and one of my favourite Doors songs. Love the sound of the waves crashing on the shore at the start of the song. :))

Kristin Reynolds
That is also one of my fave songs of all time, listening to it in a dark room, with just a hint of moonlight flooding in, man, it’s the best. I love your interpretation of it. although mine is quite different; I’ve always imagined the scene of rolling thunder and rain across a prairie landscape with skies to the ground, and native americans riding horses…well done.
Larry Butterworth replied
Kristin, thanks for the comment, your interpretation sounds good, you ought to try it
