When the Music's Over is the last track of Strange Days, the second album by the American psychedelic rock band The Doors.

"When the Music's Over" was a staple of The Doors' live shows in 1966, when they were the house band at the Whisky a Go Go on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. It was not released on an album until a year later. During live performances, Morrison sometimes took artistic liberties and used the live platform to experiment with new material, usually lyrics. The song was often performed as an encore.
