"Love Street" is a song performed by the American rock band the Doors. Sequenced as the second album track on Waiting for the Sun (1968), its lyrics were written by lead singer Jim Morrison and as with other songs, it was dedicated to his girlfriend Pamela Courson.[2][3]
The song features a departure from the Doors' usual psychedelic style, being a conventional ballad with mainly an acoustic instrumentation. Incorporating elements from classical music, it is described by critics as having a baroque pop aesthetic. Lyrically, "Love Street" is generally considered a simple love song to Morrison's companion, Pamela Courson.
"Love Street" was rarely played in live concerts by the group; however, one performance can be found in a concert in Stockholm, Sweden during their 1968 European tour.[3][4]
