Thank you!!!
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.
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
@@Oregon__Grown I hope you have found peace; I can't imagine what that must be like... A nightmare is an understatement, I fear. All the best
@@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.
John Frusciante creates music that reaches the soul.
Repetitious
Soul music ❤
how can someone tell such a great story without using words
im in awe
+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...
+Casper van Helvoirt agree!
best comment ever
soundcloud.com/harry-sohal-845003169/untitled-1 i think this has that kind of vibe to it check it out
Once you hear John's songs for the first time its like you falling into the rabbit hole....
Exactly what I'm doing rn
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.
@@marcmistermarc I like you.
I like both of you. Frusciante secret palace? I think so.
fantastic feeling, just had it two nights ago...thanks John
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.
that's what music is best at
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!
@@bigpony209
You’re a decent person. I hope you’re doing good as well
That warms my heart
Are you ok?
This is like being tuned into a frequency you've ignored or never knew existed. Incredible
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
sorry for my english XD greetings from Argentina
Promati Srl your English is just fine my man!
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
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
What a way to put it.
"That is when I really come to life" oi yes:)))
Yea I don't feel like me when I'm sober
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.
Me too. The beauty of this music is beyond words.
i would enter
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
Here we go, into another dimension..
its like I'm in the 4th dimension and you're asking me to describe it verbally.
:)
How can we love him that much?
because he loves us too :)
Nicholas Warren haha
A glimpse into the Fourth Dimension. Can't complain. I just want more.
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.
Hes a genius thats how
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."
Magik and lil bit blood sugar
x3.4 amigo
@@lomarsweed6604 nah he reversed space and time.
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.
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.
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
Hola 👋
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
@@neosozavac My god! thank you very much for sharing that, I really appreciate your comment.
Beautiful how the song is named “Falling”, yet it catches you.
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
What on Earth would I do if I didn't spend every single day listening to every piece of music this man has ever made. Thank you John for so much.
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.
Я слухаю зараз Джона кожен день в Харкові🇺🇦 під вибухи ракет
И мені ця музика допомагає переживать цей жах
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 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
Lil divine guitar driven gravy . Respect .
Damn John. Everytime you hit very strong at something that is deeply in the soul of the existence. Thank you for your art.
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
Me and her used to listen to frusciante. Shes moved on but i still listen. John has a forever place in my heart
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 !!
transcendental melodic heaven
This video should have at least 1,000,000 views because of how often I listen to this song, it's amazing
It has now ;)
This song makes me feel like John's my friend and he's telling me to hang on
haha me too man every song by john makes me feel something but this one is definantely of the 75% that do that
Mhm.
Lmfaoo
he is, and please do
Man I just got this feeling
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
John, your music heals. Thank you, brother.
that string at 2:53 cuts in so good... it makes sense of all this weird rewinding sounds and just syncs them up so beautifully.
amazing.
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?
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.
That's pure talent. John has a gift beyond this world. 🗺
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
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.
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.
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...
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
Well put brother
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.
You feel like you are listening to the sound of a soul, a spirit a guide, it doesn't sound like it is for the earth but for the cosmic planes.
Robyn Tyler damn dude.. nice :) couldn't have said it better myself
why thanks fella :D
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.
The Investigamer do you listen to John a lot? he refers to the musical realm as the 4th dimension. thats why i said it.
John Frusciantes contribution to my soul, the music idustry and The Brown Bunny soundtrack is an eternal blessing for the ages to come 😢
Every time I listen to this song I think all the people I met in my life and to find out they lost their lives
From sickness or from there hands a wonder why the hell im still alive to witness all of this sadness in this world and the sadness in there eyes
Thanks John! Thanks for teach me that a song does not need a lyrics to convey a message!
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
From John's own dimension ... Brilliant !
I sit here in a different world a world turned upside down, everyday has been terrible its 1 year post my mum having cancer after surgery removal only to find its come back and spread to her lungs. They havent given an exact time for her but around 8-12 months is standard. I hope we can all find peace one day in our after life and kill this dreaded disease which affects alot of us and our families. John, please heal my mum with this soothing sound
I've never heard this song before. It's the best feeling unexpectedly discovering Frusciante gems on UA-cam.
Te amo John, gracias por existir y alivianar mi existencia con tu música
The uneven pattern of the notes sounds almost like rain falling.
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my entire life.
This song is a meditation. It's a metaphysical walkabout.
C'est si doux.
On ne peut qu'y revenir avec une mélodie pareille, année après année.
How can someone unlike that song? John is a genius!
I will never forget this sad masterpiece.
Master.. Sir JOHN FRUSCIANTE!!!
the repetitive acoustic guitar riff hypnotizes me 💙
I don't have words to describe how much I love this song!
and again, i can't stop listening to Frusciante... damn it
Once you start you can’t stop 😅
Frusciante is phenomenal... Ive always been able to pull inspiration from his music.
Dear... Mr.John. This is holding the title of emotional expression via metal wires best of for 11 years now.... in my soul.
Everytime I go here again, seriously EVERYTIME, I'm shocked how he did these stereo sounds, beautiful!
And I’m back! I’ll keep thanking you for this John ❤
A beautiful song John is a genius 🤩
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
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.
This is a beautiful colorful dream
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 !!!
Thankful for John 🎈
My goal in this life is to be able to compose something as beautiful as this
Like... you're getting older as your mind keeps remembering the past and tries to go back, but even that is you wasting your time forward? "you don't throw your time away sitting still, I'm in a chain of memories it's my will"
It reminds me of my lost child. I always put this beautiful music in his honor, it brings me many emotions.
whats better is loud stereo speakers in a pitch black room, the only sense you can only rely on is your ears. Doing this with any of his albums especially The Empyrean is a divine experience
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!
That song doesn't need any words to understand what sense it has.
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.
I wish this song was in Spotify so I could listen to it more often
This is God speaking through a guitar
I wanna be alone all the time but I’m tired of my own boring company. This tune translates that feeling pretty well.
the vibes just amazing... my hole body is feeling this
john frusciante, simply thank you.
My first contact with John´s world was with this song. It´s a door that you pass trougth and there´s no back.
I’m so happy when I hear this cos it gets me to a serene place of melancholia. Thank you John
Tears and goosegumps
D. Mordhereck goosegumps on my goosegumps
I cryed it gets on my heart
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
Beautiful human being
Anyone else feel like John has said everything you ever wanted to say in one note of his music? That's the genius of this man
愛しすぎて泣きそう。
Beautiful song brings back memories of my days in 2013-2014
I’m in love with this song. How does he get so much emotion into his playing?
Shauneen Brandon because he cares about every second, every note. Like it’s one of his children
In una notte buia , mentre cado, sarai sempre una stella . Non smettere di brillare finché riesci!!!
I come always here to listen when I feel that I've lost my way in life.
man, this is the first time I picked up on the right, left, and center channel interplay in this song. its so cool
4:15 this bass note ,wow! first time noticing it-
the echo of the strumming sounds like someone screaming in the distance 4:22 phrasing the whole layer in a new way-this is beyond beauty
Thank you very much John Frusciante for making this beautiful melody.
My heartbeat matches it. What an incredible song!!
Hola 👋
Speechless.. timeless masterpiece fs.
It's great!! Love it. Magic sounds...
I come back to this every time.
es increible, amo
Un agradable viaje !
Mystical. I love it!
I’ve not been doing well really and John Frusciante has been a release for me and I was stuck in my guitar playing I wasn’t really going anywhere and I didn’t feel like I was at my potential then I got into the chili peppers and then John’s solo stuff and now I feeling like a better guitar player now and I have a style of playing and just the music is a way to cool down or think
