This is the song I listened to after my first real heartbreak. Ironically I sit here, mind drifting back to this song. My brother died in a car accident last night. This song perfectly encapsulates how I feel. Paralyzed, numb, staring down a barrel, and at the other end, the void. I hadn't talked to him in 6 months. He left this world thinking I hated him, and I'll never get to tell him just how much I love him. Just how much I miss him. Not in this life at least. L'appel du vide. I love you dude, and I'll never forget you.
@@caspervanhelvoirt I appreciate your kind words. Daily battle. I have his twin who is now 6 and my daughter who is 5 to still be here for. Trying to continue through this and not around it.
+Soraia Guled I was scrolling through the comments if someone already stated this, I wanted to say the exact same thing. Fruciante and this song are truly amazing
+daarhebikschijtaan Fellow Dutchman I reckon! Frusciante can connect with people's souls through music like no other... At least, what I've experienced...
when my house burnt down, I listened to John everyday and every night, admittedly kind of obsessively. I am not gonna say I wouldn't have made it without his music behind me, all I can say is that I am very appreciative that it was there for me at that time in my life.
Just stumbled across this randomly, fascinated by comments like as they’re akin to a time capsule. Would love to hear how the last 10 years have been for you - hopefully nothing but good!
I hear you - been aware of JF for years but never actually listened to anything. Been going through a rough period for nearly a year and this has helped in many ways... a light switched on - not least because he has been so prolific and I have so much of his material so help me heal. He's also been very generous in interviews discussing his influences and has turned me onto so much more music other than Hendrix, The Cure, Velvets, JD etc. I have become aware of Zappa, King Crimson and several other artists I was either unaware of or had dismissed.
Unlike most other music, I can only listen to my John Frusciante playlist every now and then, as if the music is too powerful and way too good, so it needs to be taken in small doses. The unique voice of his guitar brings out feelings that are berried too deep for other music to even come close. On some evenings though, I let myself loose and I overdose. That is when I really come to life.:)
You encaptured what I feel like in the most beautiful way. Once in a while I come back to John's music, often paired with deep revelations and happy-tears. This being one of those times
I got the same thing with hendrix, after a couple of months i didn't listen to his music, the first songs i listen fell like coming home after a long time on the road
I played when I was a boy, 15 years ago...and discovering john a few years back brought me back to (re)discovering me playing, and playing john's songs makes my day every day
It's kind of torture though, I'm supposed to be adulting and all I want to do is stay in my room under a bare bulb eating a crusty pbj playing guitar through my 1x12 little amp at 1am waking up my neighbors
I decided to put on this track in the hopes of having some beautiful background music whilst I write up my essay, but its just a little bit too special for me to do my work. Stunning.
I feel like the picture of this video and this song are meant to be together. They belong to each other and it makes me close my eyes and feel kind of nostalgic for something that never happened, never lived... Strange but beautiful
Funny I just read about a beautiful word whose meaning is very close to what you described… Hiraeth - it’s a welsh word that means a deep yearning for something that once was
His artistic use of the reverse delay is incredible. In case any of you haven't used it, try it and you will appreciate this kind of stuff even more. I've only had the opportunity to do so in small amounts but you have to set the delay at a timing that very specifically matches what you are doing and it can be really hard to do it and get it to sound as smooth and articulate as John.
From what I understand, he simply recorded the whole thing on a cassette recorder and played it backwards. How he molded the whole thing together with such perfect timing is a mystery to me though. Very simple technology mixed with a bit of Magik.
Hell nah, the main riff is played conventionally, as is the solo towards the end. The weird sounding guitar overdub that courses throughout the song is what's played backwards. It's the same effect The Beatles used on "Tomorrow Never Knows."
Quand je lis les commentaires de partout dans le monde les gens arrivent a mettre des mots sur ce que je ressens vraiment en écoutant John Frusciante. C'est génial.
how can an artist do this? I feell like i'm falling.. I'm trying to imagine anything else, but then again i can't stop feeling like i'm fallin down from the sky against the air. It's magical...
i constantly change bands and music i listen to but John Frusciante always stays, there were pauses from listening to him but he's music always comes back
Man I feel this song is about describing the life we all live/ lived. All the Reverse Guitar parts depict all the chaos and confusion that surrounds us yet we choose to fight and live each day. It keeps coming back every now and then just as he keeps introducing those guitar parts. And somehow as the Track progresses we get kinda used to it just as we get used to the everyday chaos and struggles in our day to day lives. But the ending is one of the most beautiful pieces of Music that has ever been written. It's more like a conclusion. When it's the end of the road for us our entire life flashes in front of us and we realise what life was all about and how we lived it all in our own terms. Thanks John. Sometimes you don't need a bunch of words . A man and his guitar is all that's needed at times
You just put all my thoughts on this song into a coherent post, thank you, it's like the majority of the song, being reverse, represents the confusing and often stressful nature of life, which is for most of us the majority, but you persevere for the sweet beautiful moments, which are the amazing riffs scattered throughout. The main riff near the end, to me feels like the moment in life where we finally feel the most stable, complete and happy and have come to accept the fractured nature of our being
@@josepheardley489 Music is a common language man. Somehow some of us are hearing the same thing together even though we may be 7 seas apart and don't speak the same language but the Musical notes convey the same meaning to us regardless. Cheers !!
Listening to this, every time i find myself slipping away into the fourth dimension. it's a beautiful place. Johns music is so amazing. I've never heard anything with so much emotion in it besides his music. There truly are no words to describe how beautiful this is. John i love you man! Thank you so much for creating this art.
Slipping away into the fourth dimension? That... literally makes no sense. The fourth dimension is the inconceivable line drawn from this moment in 3D reality to the next... well, in the simplest explanation anyways.
ur nationality has really nothing to do with this. there's plenty of asians around the world that listen to them. the real question is if you like him for his music or if it's a convenient excuse for you to ignore the other korean artists in your area in order to worsrhip white people as your country is known to do
Yesterday I showed my 10 years old sister 15 of my favorite songs. She used to evaluate the songs while there where playing. Just as I played this one she was just listening. Afterwards she couldn't discribed what happened. She use to speak a lot but after this song she remain silent. But she was happy for sure.
Songs like this makes me release that Frusciante is more than a good guitarist, he is a musician. An Architect. A crafter. A real bloody musician.... Damn I have som much respect for him
I would listen to this song when I was in love. Now I'm out of love and my heart aches every now and then, and this song reminds me of those times. It still sounds just as beautiful, but in different ways
man im pretty sure there will never be any music better than JF. listening for 10 years now and still cant get enough. I cant wait to let my kid hear this stuff
I'm lucky to be alive in this age. To witness this kind of art... Can't find the right words to describe it but I just want to thank you so much for your music.. Also thanks for sharing!
John's music connects to a part of me that I can't even name. It just seems to tap into this energy that I have no explanation for. He is such a fantastic artist - I have so much admiration for him and his talent.
To me this song is about the imperfect and confusing nature of life, but we persevere for the occasional moments of true perfection and happiness? Anyone else?
Found this by accident, never heard of the movie that this tune was produced for, but never heard anything quite like this before either. For reasons I don't understand I find it fascinating and mesmerising and the illustration adds to the magic. Thanks.

I am so sorry you had to have that experience. I hope you are doing okay.
Much love to you. I lost one of my kids at 22 months 4 years ago. Frusciante just takes me away and I feel total bliss
I hope you feel better. That sounds like a hard pill to swallow.. Take care man

Soul music ❤
This is like being tuned into a frequency you've ignored or never knew existed. Incredible
how can someone tell such a great story without using words
im in awe

Are you ok?
Once you hear John's songs for the first time its like you falling into the rabbit hole....
Exactly what I'm doing rn

Yea I don't feel like me when I'm sober
Sometimes I forget why i picked up the guitar.. Then I go back and listen to Frusciante and remember why
Hell yea man. Me too
I played when I was a boy, 15 years ago...and discovering john a few years back brought me back to (re)discovering me playing, and playing john's songs makes my day every day

I'm sure Caitlin graduated without your gross suggestion... and had the dignity to ignore your suggestion.
hahahaha sadly i did not pass, im not exactly academic but is quite funny coming back to this song and noticing these comments
It's normal, it's too beautiful and when you listen to John at his finest, you can only focus on Just listening this wonderful music

Its not reverse delay. He's literally playing the track backwards, playing a melody over it, then reversing it again to here the melody as reversed.
From what I understand, he simply recorded the whole thing on a cassette recorder and played it backwards. How he molded the whole thing together with such perfect timing is a mystery to me though. Very simple technology mixed with a bit of Magik.

A million views!!! YEEEAH!!! A mllion people love great music , SPREAD THE LOVE!!!!!
+Joshualbatross good song to share, thanks brother
+Joshualbatross You know that frusciante album is this song? seem a Niandra
+Joshualbatross sorry to burst your bubble but i have a good 200 k views on this :P
+lucas digi The only album this track appeared on is the soundtrack for the movie The Brown Bunny.
half of those are mine
2:52 this part hit me so hard
Florian Sawyer he just relesed all the tension in the song. its brilliant!!
Po bir! So true
The bend. Mastery
4:50 this part hit me so hard
shivers everywhere.
Over a million gives me comfort that other people enjoy real music too.....although I reckon 750000 of these are mine alone.
Thanks John! Thanks for teach me that a song does not need a lyrics to convey a message!

ahhhh how the hell does he make that guitarr sound!?? Sounds like the grass speaking to the people not to step on it. Beautiful.
1971.tl hahaha thats awesome. Two recorded tracks layered. One of him plucking his chords and the other him soloing on reverse is what it sounds like.
+Henry smith Technically partially true. I think it's at least 4 tracks though. And a sprinkle of magic.
he steps barefoot on the grass blades and records them weeping
omgoodness. 1 of the most beautiful comments.
part of it at beginning is being played backwards, he lays a solo then reverses it. Hendrix did this in his solo on castles made of sand

I can't believe I'm only NOW listening to this song. I'm forever grateful to a music teacher who introduced me to John Frusciante's perfection.
Beautiful how the song is named “Falling”, yet it catches you.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my entire life.

Well put brother
John Frusciantes contribution to my soul, the music idustry and The Brown Bunny soundtrack is an eternal blessing for the ages to come 😢
this is so straight from inside a soul. its more than just music. its john himself and that is the reason why its so damn good
I do not need to why, but this guy makes me cry with his guitar, its like he is just playing with my feeling in literal sene :)
He uses a lot of minor notes and chords mixed with a general sadness in his playing style....it makes me feel weird emotions
i think time machine has already invented ..and its called music ..when I'm listening to john's music stuff I just travel to peaceful memories !!!
How can someone unlike that song? John is a genius!
This is a beautiful colorful dream
Frusciante is phenomenal... Ive always been able to pull inspiration from his music.
This song is a meditation. It's a metaphysical walkabout.
I'm lucky to be alive in this age. To witness this kind of art... Can't find the right words to describe it but I just want to thank you so much for your music.. Also thanks for sharing!
My goal in this life is to be able to compose something as beautiful as this
Master.. Sir JOHN FRUSCIANTE!!!
My son 1 month age is falling sleeping with this masterpiece
Hes turning 7 months now. How he doing now?
Good parenting lol
He’s now 1 y old. Hope he still likes this.
He´s now 2 years old. i wonder if he still listen to this music
Thanks you guys for make me remember my son at that age!
This music always will be with us.
Love

It reminds me of my lost child. I always put this beautiful music in his honor, it brings me many emotions.
To me this song is about the imperfect and confusing nature of life, but we persevere for the occasional moments of true perfection and happiness? Anyone else?
Everytime I go here again, seriously EVERYTIME, I'm shocked how he did these stereo sounds, beautiful!

Mhm.
Lmfaoo

and again, i can't stop listening to Frusciante... damn it
Once you start you can’t stop 😅
2:55 best part oh god
we have seen and experienced the Chili Peppers and we are amazed, they are a gift that came in a box....
and we have been opening it since day one...
and at the bottom of this box...
when nearly all is unpacked...
there is a tiny silly beautiful tune...
just a little tune...
like a throbbing heart...
the essence...
it's John Frusciante playing / thinking / daydreaming on the guitar
so sweet as honey and so intense as the Sun in our solar system
What an amazing piece of art. John - you are my favorite guitarist.
Cheers from India :)
amazing
