I think this song is about faith. I don't think it's about religion, it's about yourself, because when you're broken after surviving to a difficult period, you question everything you've ever done and you're only left with your pride, your beliefs and your courage to Look On for a better future.
"I can't get through/ Knots in my mind/ I resent/ The self I can't find" John is not only awesome for his guitar, but his lyrics open a space in me that few other things can. Thank you so much to everyone who posts lyrics to their YouTube vids.
i like josh, when if the red hot chili peppers make an last album next, i hope john rejoins them for that album, wouldn't be a proper goodbye to their career without him
Buying this album on vinyl is one of the greatest purchases I have ever made (tied with the other Frusciante records I was able to snag). Amazing solo. Hope John releases some new solo stuff soon!
You know, it was rainy summer night and i was listening to "going inside" by Fru, then I thought it would be great to get even one original album by john on my shell. I ordered "Inside of emptiness" on the internet, before i even hear this cd. Now this is my favourite CD.
@holymetalhypocrite wow, you're sad, I'm with you is a great album and Josh is a great guitar player, he plays on every song of this album! Yes also this song
@TimmehTRP i like did i let you know, monarchy of roses, police station, and factory of faith too. even you brutus will probably be the 3rd single its a great song on the album.
@holymetalhypocrite Was watching your profile and saw that you liked the movie the Godfather, and that you liked Slash, which made me think of a great video, the one where Slash plays the Godfather theme, so I went ahead and learned the solo for it ;) Don't know if you would appreciate it if I record it and upload it? If so gimme a response
This song is so powerful. I am so glad there are artists like this out there that can convey so much in their own music. Pure talent. I have nothing but love for john frusciante.
The Solo from Van Halen's song Right Now was my favorite guitar solo ever, and i played it every chance i could because it sounded so good and so free. Well today i have changed everything i ever thought about that song, because this solo is the most incredible thing i have ever heard in my life. Never have i heard a guitar solo with so much emotion. Frusciante for life.
@MrPurpleFreak right on!! frusciante plays with awesome feeling!! check this vid out it's one of my favs when it gets to the jam/solo part! youtube.com/watch?v=XJyWi2WpnwU (by the way jam)
it always sounds so real when john does it, so many other suckers/artists would just slap on the gloss and miss the point of writing a song reflecting on a hard feeling and making the song sound like it
I remember the feeling of bring in love with one of my exes. Listening to this is a million times better. Because John's music just absorbs you and loves you, more than any living being can.
@Antipopularization u act as if he's left and returned countless times, to date this is the second, people move on to different places in their lives, thats life man
@Antipopularization He is a man living life for himself. Why do something that doesnt make you happy? With Josh in the band, if john feels like jamming and making more music with them, it will work. John's spirit is very much still in the peppers. He made them who they are today, in my opinion. His influence on the band is overlooked.
@covykiller Ofc he did you fool,he literally was a zombie for months, watch a video called Stuff, it shows you how he lived, it really is very shocking!
@jamiemyhamster09 Josh is the best man for the job. He is more than capable of keeping the spirit of the band alive. John is not in the right mindset to play with the peppers anymore. He has moved on. Why not be excited to hear something new and how the band evolved further with the great mind of josh. He is an extremely talented musician and one of johns best friends. I'd rather hear the new sound than a stale sound and a lack of good vibes from the band.
@Limjucas8396 maybe josh cant fill the spot but ofcourse i hope he can and 0im really excited about the new peppers album and johns solo career. When i posted that comment 2 months ago i was still sad cause john left but now i am nothing but interested in what kind of new sound josh will bring into the peppers =)
@jamiemyhamster09 Word buddy. I agree. I was bummed REAL bad when I heard. But it was rumored for a while. I dont think we will be hearing much official stuff from john anymore though. :( It sucks cuz we KNOW hes making music every single day. And he is the most amazing man to grace my ears.
I think this song is about faith. I don't think it's about religion, it's about yourself, because when you're broken after surviving to a difficult period, you question everything you've ever done and you're only left with your pride, your beliefs and your courage to Look On for a better future.
