One of the Doors' most complex recordings, "Unknown Soldier" was one of the most literate anti-war statements of its era. Utilizing various recorded sections, the song is a mini-medley. It opens with an eerie organ intro before moving into a jazzy first verse, which describes the war being fed through the media to suburban America. A brilliant and dramatic middle section is actually a studio-recreated firing squad, complete with shots. The second verse is a slightly harder-rocking version of the first. The song then erupts into a climatic, extended coda, which is the audio re-creation of the celebration of either victory or the END of war. Quite a little cinematic drama, and rendered with style and sense of reality.
