John Frusciante [Niandra Lades & Usually Just A T-Shirt] 06. Running Away Into You

[chumanjames]

Clara is Fleas daughter.

[emvir8gto8]

reminds me of syd barrett...

[saltjunkie77]

@emvir8gto8 Bingo. I by no means suggest that he is even pulling on Barrett. I only suggest that they were coming from a very similar artistic place...at least their attempts cross paths on different variables.

[Skavengeful]

Noticing the "To Clara" at the bottom right gave me serious goosebumps.

[amentjam]

@charlieharlot Thanks

[swimsuitissue123]

this album will always mean so much to me.

[TehSorso]

If the sun could melt like snow

I would run to you

And flow into a cloud,

While running away into you

[marcreevesmusic]

love this song. I remember listening to this album all the time as a teenager :)

[ecowarrior123]

Up and down through water!!!!!!!!! Madd as!!

[Simmeringtim]

Was smoking pot in my friends car tripping balls to this song last night. Good times :)

[ecowarrior123]

sounds brilliant

[birdieboy91]

is that him on the cover??!

i always though it was some girl

[Emerican231]

@birdieboy91 ya he was trying to immitate some famous woman who took pictures like that i think. it was his girlfriends idea at the time

[focusedon1992]

@Emerican231 no he wasn't! he based the niandra lades alter ego off of the french artist marcel duchamp's female alter ego "rrose selavy". if you look at photos of duchamp's alter ego you will find john's inspiration. it was john's idea and the photos were "supposedly" taken for his girlfriend (at the time) toni oswald's film.

[Emerican231]

@focusedon1992 ohhhh...

[s23hardy]

He looks like marilyn manson.

[ecowarrior123]

fuck you. no comparison!!

[HolliValsMusic]

I just love those delay pitches :)

Thanks for posting this playlist man, I haven't heard this album in years and realize how much I've missed it now.

The Will To Death is an incredible album if you're thinking about getting another one from John.

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

very similar to the flaming lips, great song

[EvanMcCoy]

the beginning is one of my favorite parts "driiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive up and down thru water"

[tatelabianca]

for sure Sean3! fucking kills me everytime! also the no no no no no no no no etc...

[ancientsong]

this song is awesome, some people call it weird but I think its great and interesting, and very expressive..even if he was on drugs when he made it

[twjames18]

i hate the word "even" in your comment. drugs have great potential. they open up different parts of the mind which can produce beauty, but also can create madness. theres a fine line though. I have come to the realization that life is about balance. he dropped out of society and created beauty, but who could he share it with? no one. anyways im not trying to be a douche, just trying to give a different perspective. dont take it the wrong way.

[Heylookitsthatguy]

amen to that

[ecowarrior123]

Understood perfectly. Beauty in a deadly, blissful way.

[WILLISROCKSTAR]

@twjames18 i agree that is a good way to explain it

[immeluschi]

thanks for this playlist EmptyVicious :-)

[Blinki18284]

I my god look at him there and now! Crazy difference

[mooglesarerabbits]

that';s cos he was dressed as a woman in the pic you big fanny

[Blinki18284]

I meant his music! :D But okey, there's also a difference, watch the addict interview!

[purelyelectric]

he makes me feel amazing

[IARE1031]

This is the best.

[Heinzy78]

Intelligent posts, guys. Excellent music for excellent people.

[fullmetalfunk]

Does anybody know how John did the voice effects. I'm pretty sure it's done with tape manipulation but I'm not totally sure. Could some one help me out a bit?

[jahstp]

I do this samme shit all the time Bro with my bosss Digital dellay systeem You just recoord play it through a loop station and move the nobs according to how you wannt it to souund..

[andrewjshepherd]

Fuckin Love it!! Fantastic real time delay work!!

[fullmetalfunk]

Delay? Like reel to reel tape delay? I've always wondered how John did the voice effects for this song. Do you know?

[andrewjshepherd]

Set effect mix to maximum so when you press on no other sound present from mic, set feedback to max so repetition wont fade, wait for right moment you want to repeat ie.: ''running away into you'' press ON. Now you can twist delay time knob from long to short, that will make pattern fast or slow!!. Quite easy, any good delay does the job! ;)

[fullmetalfunk]

Oh wow that's alot simpler than I thought it would be. Thanks alot man. I'm gonna try that. So does that mean that all the different effects are different takes then?

[andrewjshepherd]

Yep!!

He must have done a few takes 'coz its Quite hard to get what you want-remember he is using this in tempo sometimes and sets it to match the key of the song sometimes..

Thanks for the friend invite/comments, mate much appreciated!! Rock on!! ;)

[fullmetalfunk]

No problem man. I dug your stuff. Thanks for all the info. I want to try this out. My echo on the Visual Sound H20 dosen't have a feedback knob so I can't get infinite delay sequences. I need to get a good one and I'm gonna expiriment with it. Thanks again.

[longestleg]

I've been listening to this album for 12 or 14 years and I cant believe this page only has 13 comments. Wow.

[veryrice]

Well this video has only been uploaded for 7 months. Most people who bought the album 10 years ago don't go on YouTube to listen to music they already purchased.

[longestleg]

True, I was just checking stuff out so I could download it to my facebook profile. I've only had a computer for about a year. So I'm still getting a kick from the technology.

[mangemongeek]

There are no words...
