  • I've got a million to choose from
    A million ways things could be
    In dull moments I feel like
    There's a million options I see
    The trouble is choosing one
    The trouble is doing one
    A slave in the fields one night
    He's running along
    Gets far enough to be a free man
    And he's feeling so strong
    That's how actions should be
    Freeing
    Step after step is our only choice in a walk
    When we run at the mouth we jump back and forth
    There's only one place I'm going
    There's only one destiny
    And if my mind tells me otherwise
    Then it's a poor guide for me
    All of the energy in life
    Is nothing more than a spark in a fire
    The whole course of time is the blink of an eye
    Rain in the slums
    Ah Yom
    Into the cards
    Ahm Yum
    Rain in the slums
    Ah Yom
    Into another world
    Ahm Yum

John is the master of making us think deeply. This man is amazing. One of the best musicians of all time IMO.

    John: Thank you for surviving all that this existence has subjected you to, you are an inspiration and a testament to the strength and love of the human spirit. I have been sending my brotherly love your way from the moment I became aware of you and your sensibility. The Empyrean is a fucking masterpiece. You are a masterpiece. Thank you again for your insightful stylings of mind, melody, and spirit...I definitely feel your lines.

    John frusciante is one of my favorite artists/guitarist of all time... I'm so glad he got clean and sober. You can see it in his lyrics he found a God, or a positive, good sprituality of some sort. I went through heroin and, opiate addiction as well and found a spirituality of my understanding, (God). I know exactly how he feels in his songs and can related to almost any song he has ever written. John is amazing and there will never be another person like him.

    @Silenus6 john said with the empyrean he tried to create a concept album, that is that each of the songs featured is a piece of a story, and after listening you can see this, he also stated that today and ah yom did not fit in this concept, since here air was on the japanese edition as a bonus track this must be the case as well. but they sure are great songs! he wouldn't have released them if he didn't want us to hear them!

    @added23 12 років тому +2

    I see what you're saying and "Ah Yom" definitely gives off an Empyrean vibe. I'm guessing it's a personal thing, where the other songs fit into the story that he was trying to tell with the music. He knows the meanings behind his songs and for an unknown, but particular, reason he didn't put these songs on the album.

I think we can all agree, that this man is the greatest musician ever.

    Then it's a poor guide for me

    No, my mom, a die hard Beattles fan said, (with a bit a snort) "John Lennon? No Way, Try George Harrison." when I said "hey he looks like John Lennon". She also says there's further similarities in personalities and style when I told her about Frusciante..Lennon was spiritual but he did have an ego and was very "out there" with his beliefs and felt strongly that his role on earth was to influence other's beliefs. This isn't bad, but it's not Frusciante. Harrison was more to himself like JF.
