This song probably is about sex, love, and all the passion that comes with that. Like a lot of Doors songs, it's sensual in nature. A soundtrack of sensuality, if you will.

But, as for Pam or "that stupid witch"... If I've correct, you're mentioning when he married said "witch" in a pagan ritual, handfasting. That woman took it seriously, though it is speculated Jim didn't. To this day she still names herself as having been married to Jim, and it's disrespectful to write her off as a "stupid witch".

Whoever he wrote this for is irrevelant, because the message of this song is universal- the passionate longing to "touch" somebody and declare your undying love for them. Or, in some people's cases, to just say whatever it takes to get them into bed. That interpretation is left to the individual.

"What was that promise that you made? A girl that has to live up to her promise, which is nothing hard to figuer out but sex. Jim is basically saying live up to your promise and "touch me".

The song is acually about the relationship the guitarist Robby Kreiger had with his girl friend. The original name of the song was Hit Me but Morrison changed it to Touch Me.

yes you are right, Robby wrote this song. Not Jim. People, research your shit before you come up with these elaborate "interpretations"

and she was a stupid witch.

This son was about sex and love. It was about having an intimate moment with the woman he loved, and pam was definitely a stupid witch.

Aren't the last FOUR notes in this classic speak out under the music:

"Stronger Than Dirt"
??

What does THAT mean?
