It is to me too... And the fact that the world will never understand it makes it so much sweeter. It's just this thing a few of us get to truly appreciate. Its our thing.
This song is one of the most emotional pieces of music I have ever heard. This is truly a cry for help, made my someone who, in all seriousness, should not have made it back alive from where he had gone.
@@pierremorand9159 This one was recorded in late 1996 so it was either just before or just after he quit heroin. Either way you can truly hear the pain he is in physically and mentally. Absolutely harrowing.
I remember it was late summer of 21’ and a few weeks prior I did something really bad that messed my mind and self-image up badly. I remember listening to this whole album and realizing how even though it was unpolished that is what made it, it was John’s pain laid bare and because of that it was art, when I came to the end of the album and heard this I felt it so deeply. Just being buried under so much filth and trouble and wanting things to just get better. Thank you John for suffering for this art.
INTRO: UHHHHH I WANT YOU NEAR , yeahhh yeahh give me . I WANT YOU NEAR CHORUS: I WANT YOU NEAR , WHERE I AM? (repeat continous times, that's variation like " I WANT YOU THERE , HERE I AM" , he's really dope when he's singing this song) VERSE: I THOUGH THE ANSWER , IS BROUGHT BY THE WIND THIS IS THE WAY I LIKE THE WAY I LOVE YES , THEY ARE SEEING , AND I'M NOT BREATHING , I'M NOT BREATHING CHORUS AGAIN TILL THE END
i think he just added the e, reason being for most spanish speaking mexicans just add the eh sound before a word that starts with an s. so stress becomes ehstress. anyway again as beautiful as a blast of chiva mann this is like audioheroin the next best thing. VIVA ANZALDUA ! ANAHUAC Y AZTLAN, LIBRE Y MEXICA !
"Estress" Uhhhhh I want you near, yeahhh yeahh give me . I want you near I want you near, where I am I want you there, where I am? I though the answer Is brought by the wind This is the way i like the way i love Yes, They are seeing And i'm not breathing I'm not breathing I want you near, where I am I want you there, where I am?
John reminds me a lot of Janis Joplin, purely talented but extremely sad. Rare Pearls but lived in muddy waters. Two beautiful artists that died too young.
The strumming pattern is kind of similar. Harmoxally though, it's just the standard "4 chord song" that's been the subject of so much conedy and stuff.
@@saramarvulli6917 the chords? not really. the rhythm is the closest similarity. this song is in major. it sounds a lot more like frusciante's own Omission.
This proves that freaky frusciante has more talent when he coughs that Josh klingNOTfler ever had. So glad Josh was fired right before Christmas so he could mope through the holidays as everyone worshiped fru
Why is this so damn beautiful?...
Julio honest art
+Sompn Brurl this is so moving
in our hearts we are all drunk people who scream for a bit of affection. maybe is that
It's the sound of unrequited love romeo still bleeding a few years in but alive in all his drunken pain crooning a proposal lost in time ha
It's strange. A beautiful kind of strange
this is one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard in my life
I'm with you on this new level bro!
Amen
Welcome to the cult my friend ❤️
It is to me too... And the fact that the world will never understand it makes it so much sweeter. It's just this thing a few of us get to truly appreciate. Its our thing.
You truly dont know what beautiful means..
This is the sound of my soul!
Possibly the most Punk Rock thing ever.
This song is one of the most emotional pieces of music I have ever heard. This is truly a cry for help, made my someone who, in all seriousness, should not have made it back alive from where he had gone.
Uso tus palabras para explicar está canción. Siempre
Even when he sounds like death he sounds good.
Oh yeah, he was very very nearly dead at this point, for sure.
"I want you near......where I am." Simple.
he probably wrote this song around the time he fell in love with nirvana's music fucking love this song
You can still hear the artistic vision through the heroine. It's quite astonishing really.
BigBad Bryant That is an extremely good point you make man!!! I never even thought of that!
BigBad Bryant
Stfu
Quite astonishing really.
I think he had quit heroine in 97.
It was while i was not in the band anymore so like 88-92

@wardfunk could'nt agree any more. It almost makes me cry everytime i sit down, and listen to it!
Best song EVER. Never heard something amazing like that ;D
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG!
I WANT YOU THERE THE WAY I AM
I WANT YOU NEAR WHERE I AM
My interpretation is "I want you mad, the way I am."
I want you there, the way I am
I want you near where I am
@Frusciante190 no, the EP and title track john released in 1997 is estrus, this is estress
I needed this. Fuck I want to cry.
i think he just added the e, reason being for most spanish speaking mexicans just add the eh sound before a word that starts with an s. so stress becomes ehstress. anyway
again as beautiful as a blast of chiva mann this is like audioheroin the next best thing.
VIVA ANZALDUA !
ANAHUAC Y AZTLAN, LIBRE Y MEXICA !
@whuferfuferdinosours wow thats cool, i thought 'i want you to have been where i am' i love how this whole song is down to interpretaion
he used to but he eventually became a huge fan search around youtube and you'll find he does some covers of nirvana's songs
badass jam. this is shit hot and always will be!!!!!!
i want you to be where i am
i want you near where i am.
i guess he says them both!
yep
Are there any videos of him playing this live but not at the viper room?
I want a beer, but where I am?
theres another song on this album that sounds just like hes singing come as you are.
“Come as you are. Have some wine and coffee.” -I Can’t See Until I See Your Eyes
If you find a better jam let me know!
I always hear "I want you mad, the way I am"
@Mateo151 i know it's the same song, but re-released and re-named
=I want you near where I am
i waaaaaaaaaant you maaaaad the way i am, why arent you maaaaaaaaaad the way i am
Smell like team spirit
He needs to go through all his old shit, clean it up and put out an album
its perfect the way it is
i think its 'i want you here the way i am'
I want you near :c
This IS Estrus. he just changed the name for the smile release for whatever reason..
He change the tone to ;p
@CitizenKANE2277 but means so much lol
hr from the bad brains on vocals ahahahhaha
Thats Heroin Sound... \(-.-)
What?
Pixies influence is very obvious here. Some 19 year old heard Surfer Rosa sounds like.
Why the word smile is so present in his music?
It is?
fucking real :D
@ MrDudupaim
It's "I want you near, where i am"
haha thats how i talk to the random people i run into
This song is called estrus not estress isnt it?
does he say
"i want you near, where I am"?
"Estress"
Uhhhhh I want you near, yeahhh yeahh give me .
I want you near
I want you near, where I am
I want you there, where I am?
I though the answer
Is brought by the wind
This is the way i like the way i love
Yes,
They are seeing
And i'm not breathing
I'm not breathing
I want you near, where I am
I want you there, where I am?
what does Estress mean ?
probably switched between the two words who knows
Anybody who knows how to play this on guitar ?
I want you near…
but he said he didnt like kurt cobains music
He later said he liked the B-sides.
reminds me a bit of "wish you were here" by Pink Floyd :P
"more"? xD
John reminds me a lot of Janis Joplin, purely talented but extremely sad. Rare Pearls but lived in muddy waters. Two beautiful artists that died too young.
Frusciante isn't dead
Roto
I am the only one who thinks that the chorus sounds a bit like Dani California?
***** I do hear a bit more of Smells like Teen Spirit, especially at the beginning
+TheCoolSquare pretty much yea, a half tone up, tried it on my strat, it worked out fine :)
The strumming pattern is kind of similar. Harmoxally though, it's just the standard "4 chord song" that's been the subject of so much conedy and stuff.
Also, "I want a crayon, where I am?"
My mom terribly hates this music cuz the guy was coked out the whole time
not what he says :P
nah not really the chords arent the same :P or similar really
no the only difference is the spelling
little parts in this reminds me of smells like teen spirit by nirvana. haha
Sounds quite like "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana
Where? So many have said that. If you mean his singing, he sounds like this on almost every song.
Diego Zas When he sings "I want YOU near" sounds just like "Load UP on guns" you know? The chords
I guess....if you are listening to someone playing it in their head phones from across a noisy room...what I'm saying is, NO.
