"The Soft Parade" is a song composed by the American rock group the Doors, though credited to lead singer Jim Morrison only.[4] It was recorded for their fourth studio album, also titled The Soft Parade (1969), appearing as the closing track. It has been considered as one of the most musically diverse compositions by the band.[6]
The 40th Anniversary remastered edition of the album reinstates an intro before the 'Petition the Lord with Prayer' section of the song, where Jim Morrison laments he's "troubled immeasurably" by the eyes of an unknown figure or subject.[5] This piece was subsequently included as a bonus track on the 50th Anniversary release under the title "I Am Troubled".[7]
