Still surprises me how much his lyrics have improved and evolved every time he makes music to such an amazing extent, when even at the beginning I already thought his lyrics the best and at the highest level of brilliance.
the first time i heard him sing "if the seasons that change were all still, its so easy to see life would fail" i completely stopped everything i was doing and replayed the song.
@StratPlayer17 I listened to it with headphones on and he sounded kind of urgent. Wonder what was going on? Oh well I think it is a great catch and adds character to his work. Im sure everyone knows it in the final cut.
The solo was purposely supposed to be all over the place bc the songs are part of a storyline in johns life this being right before his figurative suicide that occurs in Central.
Well he said he had trouble with "To record water" and "Shadows" because he wanted everything perfect. His albums that proceeded those were not as good in my opinion but it showed that he didn't need everything perfect. Leave the songs for what they are, unique in their own way.
@MikeyNL1038 Do you think? Dude, read the lyrics from the beginning until the end of the album. Listen to every instrument individually and its purpose in the album and try to feel what john want to express with this albums. This albulm is a master piece lyricly and musicly. Alot of poem and a lot of guitar with synthesizers sound in it, alot of strange sounds I don't know this albums is a complete albumn. No comparation with the others.
its not frusciante playin the solo its johnny marr...u juz gotta blaze up and listen 2 it an you'll hear the song for what it is rather than what you want it 2 sound like...i know i had a good high when i first listened two the empyrean album
i can hear them..thats not the point...i thought there would be a subtitle with the lyrics.i´m german so i still have some problems hearing the right words out,ok?
There is a good chance it is Johnny Marr playing the solo. He plays on both this song and Central, although they don't specify what parts he plays. The solo on central is definetly John though.
I think if you added Anthony in a John album, you'd kill the purpose of a John Album. I mean if Anthony was involved, it would just be known as Anthony Kiedis, cause he takes up the image of the chili Peppers.
Thank God John and Flea, and Chad can do stuff together, and make music thats amazing without Anthony.
BTW-I dont hate Anthony. I love the Peppers and John
@soadfn1 I think RHCP is all of them put together. When I think of RHCP I think of Flea rocking out, John soloing his heart out, Chad hammering away, and Anthony doing his dances. Sure he may be a bigger image than the others to common fans but what lead singer isnt an image of a band?
@benbasketballgtar yes, I close my eyes and try to visualize hearing AK in any of this (the Emperyan) and just can't do it. Oh well, maybe it's just too challenging for my tiny mind.....I can't even get to the "humble" thing. Guess my mind is limited and closed, sorry ;)
@soadfn1 personaly i think john could collaborate on one song with anthoney and still be about jonh but i understand because anyhtoney more or less is the face of the peppers, though a very nice, humble and respectful face
john should play this song when rhcp will be introduced to the R&R hall of fame April 14
