John Frusciante - Song To The Siren [02]

[romidcarrera]

The other night I put my ipod under my pillow with this song. I fell asleep. It was the deepest and most beautiful sleep of my life.

EVERYONE SHOULD TRY IT.

It's like the song is whispering in your dreams and the 3 words in part in 3:06 is magical.

Try it and then you tell me.

[Turi40]

I can't stop listening! Love it,

[AcidAbsinthe]

THANKS JOHN.

[milosaban]

wooow,one of my favorite songs covered by my favorite artitst ,love it

[miky4fingers32]

[idvali]

you should listen to this after you are dead

[splinky45]

Another great cover of the Tim Buckley Tune. There are lots of covers and they are all interesting in one way or another. I like the original, This Mortal Coil's version,Sinead O'Connor's version, and Sheila Chandra's version. Its a timeless classic!

[Scoob505]

This is a nice cover.

[frusciante54]

he is a god........

[ambskater97]

For some reason, this song always reminded me of Kid A.

[fremmed1]

If you people really respect those who make music that comes from the soul, -you will support them. If you who understand this music do not give the preformer support and attention, who will...?

[keitaro21]

I love his voice, I hope that he will release some songs soon

I enjoy Tim Buckley's original performances of this song more, but that shouldn't take away from what John Frusciante did here. This is a beautiful rendition of an absolutely gorgeous song.

[MrCax123]

funny thing i ended up buying the whole album because it's that good

[JakobVirgil]

Thank you junkie Jesus that was beautiful.

[jeweet058]

nice, same thing on One More Of Me and Enough Of Me, there are mixed versions on youtube, just type One More Enough Of Me in the bar and the upper track should amaze enough for the rest of 2011

[EET321]

@HMD44METALLICA lol it is quite epic indeed.

[tonymarston58]

Not bad 

[EET321]

1. open 2 tabs of this video

2. play one

3. when the first one is at about 1:02, start the second.

4. Enjoy!

[organaphus]

@EET321 It's like being at the bottom of an exceptionally happy well!

[Severinate]

There's an honesty to this version. The original will always be the best but 'John' didn't fuck it up.

[TheFunnyVille]

this song is absolute shit.. he was dumb for going solo because this garbnage isnt going top be getting him fans. it seems like hes already a lonley fuck that cantr come up with his own ideas so he must resort to covering other songs and just ruining them. i think hes gunna com e back to rhcp begging for forgivness but who knows when that will be. hes a solo artist now but he sounds like shit. what made him sound amazing before was the enviroment of being around the rest of rhcp hes nutin alone

[TheMoondrum]

@TheFunnyVille just..... die :DD dont like ? listen to this : /watch?v=kffacxfA7G4

pussy

[MuhaO]

@TheFunnyVille And you're a absolute dumbass. A guy like you cant understand why he left the band, it's not about getting fans, it's about changing. His albums are great and so far away from his style in the RHCP, and that's a good thing. I dont think that people who are listening to John as a solo artist are looking for the same sensations that listening to him as the RHCP guitarist. Whatever, i dont even know why i am talking to a trash like you. Just fuck off.

[ambskater97]

@TheFunnyVille II hope to God that you choke on that 14 inch cock you were sucking on when you wrote this dumbass comment.

[TheBowdenk1]

What an awesome remake

[ChazAndDave123]

This is actually beautiful



[lukepleaseshutup]

I didn't enjoy this version very much...that's okay, though. I'm sure it means a lot to some other people.

[wowprogamer1]

@lukepleaseshutup You have to run it over and over again and try to put some old sad or happy moments while listening to it,thats the point and best way to feel the music like John makes and other genres such as blues or soul :)

[aberk2]

I frankly love John, but I'm not so crazy about this Phil Collins get it on music phase.

[LostInPerfectZound]

this song just touched my heart

[hurtlyweep]

Johnsus Crist

[Ajuinvaliid]

This sounds pretty neat .

[awellfedbottomfeeder]

wow...I want this song for my wake...Also whiter shade of pale Procol Harum. then lots of unrequitted drinking. All have a blast Song and wine and who knows. A departure another's arrival

[ERaddock]

How can you imbeciles say anything bad about this gorgeous thing? Come on. This is a great cover.

[LinkTheBraveOne]

if u like an other version why are u leaving comments here saying "..version is much better!"? all versions are different ,if u like an other version go and listen it..I prefer this version and i think it's awesome that's why i am leaving a comment here,i am not gonna go to buckleys video and say "this is shit i prefer the version of john" for example..respect frusciante becoz is one of the best musicians of our generation and he didn't make this cover to make people fighting which 1 is the best

[wyted]

This would be my favourite version of this track if he hadn't recorded the vocals in his bathroom.

[MrCax123]

this almost makes me want not to download this illegally. almost

[BraDastres23]

@MrCax123 askjajajaja xDD

[garrrynec]

@MrCax123 The most beautiful thing is...I'm sure Frusciante doesn't mind. As long as you enjoy his music. Music needs more musicians like him.

[thebailey67]

@MrCax123 almost...

[DemonLeo]

this version sucks

[MAGXIFY]

@DemonLeo CHINGAS A TODA TU PUTÍSIMA MADRE, LA VAGINA DE TU MADRE APESTA!!!!

[Kurdtish]

The most powerful man ever.

[jasper2252]

i just can´t say that the Beatles suck, but i can blame them for setting off a chain reaction (The Garmlich effect) that made pop-music what it is today... btw, isn't John Frusciante the one who we should praise in there comment-boxes? ^^ peace guys

[workkmeoutt]

If anyone has heard the trance version of this, holy shit, the female singer in it...This is what the song was made for..not this slow stuff ;)

[undergrounder2]

@workkmeoutt

You mean Ratty - Sunrise?

That samples the 'This Mortal Coil' version (with the female singer).

But you're wrong, all versions are good in their own way.

[peppers1616]

this shit is intense... 

[EddKonnekshun]

How on earth can people dislike such beauty, fantastic cover, obviously the original is best but johns voice is so haunting in this :) love it.

[sallysewup]

This song or cover of it is so beautiful i'm Irish so it holds a special place in my heart. I want this song John's version played at my funeral.

[DancingDi]

Thank goodness there are so many different opinions. For me it is Tim Buckley, but I have been a fan of his for many years. So far all the versions I have heard are beautiful in their own ways. We are lucky to have all the wonderful music

[Filisthin]

20 people here have no hearth... Thanks for posting this track, it's brilliant... hugs from Czech rep.

[peppers1616]

This version is diferent, I mean this takes me to like I don't know but it sounds kind of otherwordly I don't know, it's too great, its my favorite version

[mootbooxle]

I'm not going to use words like "this is the BEST version" because those things are subjective. In my personal view, though, John's version captures something about this amazing song that no other cover ever has or ever could. Tim's original is one of the most beautiful and heartrending songs ever written...John's interpretation of it is masterful. The things he did melodically resonate with me more emotionally than the original. Love the production too.

[lezoire]

geez it amazes me that everyone gets sooooo upset about every one elses opinion.... Who care's,, get a life... lol learn to self felacaite, do something constructive, like me, right now..... lol

[knaakepaak]

still prefer Tim Buckley's version

[wtimevandenbrock]

This is a wonderfully haunting love song. I've heard several versions, all good in their way but my favourite version is from Bryan Ferry. His music tends to be hauntingly beautiful, anyway, so it's not surprising that his version is my fav!

[mradroc]

obviously not the best version...but a great 1 none the less...torn

[heartwings1123]

There's a place inside John that is so beautiful it makes the most beautiful songs become diamonds.

[SSalmonFish]

Mortal Coil's version is even more amazing, my absolute favorite song ever.

[edumota]

this is the Best version....

because Tim Buckley's version is Hors Concours..of course.

[edumota]

really good.

but Buckley is God.

 watch?v=b49YfsjXw5E

[ExMicroDotLover]

my favorite version. thank you John....

[ablondenortherngirl]

just beautiful ... what it is about Johnny F, just encaptures me, everything about him.

[elsantysabe]

17 guys hvnt soul

[BleedTwiggy]

this song makes me cry....

Wonderful...only...wonderful :')

[HoneyWhite]

liz fraser will always sing this song best in my opinion...

[zoeruls]

I think Tim's voice fits the song a lot better...

[xCASSANDRAxGEMINIx]

just... perfect. perfect.

[Juansamisterica]

is this the tim buckley song??

[stivmitchell04]

@Juansamisterica Yeah, his originally :)

[megamarillion1]

wonderful! ♫♫♫

[LeBonGirl007]

Bryan Ferry's version totally melts me... <3 <3<3

[rhonasmith123]

this is the best version, just posted this in tribute to my lost mother, Katie Conway 1976

[annahalding94]

I can't help but cry every time I hear this version of the song. John's voice really touches me... He's amazing.

[megastardo]

Superb!

[ExMicroDotLover]

Did I dream you dreamed about me?

[reneelovly]

john can control wth his music

he can make you cry or scream out of joy

genius

[skippyskatestuff]

0:26 Jamie Thomas.

[DiosSinRostro]

@skippyskatestuff Hahahaha... your're right! Awesome!

[D8271]

Stop with the nonsence and just feel this wonderfull art work...and he sings perfectly...he can when he tries .-))

[TheFlofrusciante]

rien à faire, j'ai beau l'écouter encore et encore, dès que John commence à chanter,l'émotion monte et je termine la chanson en sanglotant comme une conne... quelle putain de voix, pure émotion. Merci, merci, merci.

[DiosSinRostro]

@TheFlofrusciante Désolé pour le mauvais français, j'espère que vous au moins comprendre. Avait à dire, vous avez absolument raison. J'ai aussi pleuré quand j'ai entendu cette chanson

[TheFlofrusciante]

@DiosSinRostro your french is good ! I just hope now that you'll understand my bad english. It's just crazy and amazing how qtrong and powerful John's music is. 2 months ago, I didn't know who John was. Then, there's not a day without listening his music or simply his voice. I have a real respect and admiration for this guy. Just hope that maybe, in another life, fate will make me cross his way.

[DiosSinRostro]

@TheFlofrusciante Yeah, I can understand your english perfectly! But more than that, I can understand your feelings completely... The way that his songs make you feel, the power and beauty of his lyrics... Is just perfect...

[alynwhite]

wow

[fatbill717]

We all have our likes and dislikes.

I like Tim's original version of this, but must say that Robert Plant's version blows me away.

Whatever - it's a beautiful song.

[AnRTPgA]

@fatbill717

Robert Plant did a version too?

Goddammit, this has to be one of the most covered songs in history after Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen.

[fatbill717]

@AnRTPgA If you haven't listened to it, give it a listen.

It's my favourite version - but that's just me.

Robert Plant-Song to the siren

[k0stil]

@AnRTPgA

the most covered song is "yesterday" by the beatles.

the second is "something" also by the beatles

[AnRTPgA]

@k0stil

it was was supposed to be a joke dude.

[almahperditae]

@k0stil The most covered song is My Way from Claude François. A year after its release Frank Sinatra made a english version, that become one of the standarts of the XX century music and eventually become the most covered up song ever. All the covers come from another cover, I think no one ever listen to the original lol Just to see how covered the song is lol

[madmic1967]

@almahperditae No. The most covered song is "Yesterday" originally performed by The Beatles. FACT. Another fact is that an octopus combs it's moustache up to 14 times a day.

[MrChillywilly1234]

@almahperditae the most covered song is the Beatles Yesterday, at least according to the Guiness book of world records

[chucksteresq]

Whatever the argument - this is still quality. Haunting and beautiful and timeless xx

[alexjamess]

so dark... amazing

[losershram]

john frusciante should stay his dirty little blooded clawed paws off of anything tim buckley as well flea should fuck off far away from scottie.

[AnRTPgA]

@losershram

Get the fuck out.

[losershram]

@AnRTPgA i agree ... "get them out of the human race".

[AnRTPgA]

@losershram

If you don't like the video, why are you watching and responding to it?

Answer: Because you're obviously living in the basement of your parents

with only a bed and a PC down there and you have nothing better to do, since you can't afford whores and drugs and you obviously don't have friends or a girlfriend. (or maybe a boyfriend, if you're from the "other" side.)

Please do the world and your parents a favor and get a job.

Or you could just go kill yourself, that would work too.

[losershram]

@AnRTPgA You, AnRPTgA, are a prick it is a) because you are a dulllard b) because you're into s&m & c) because you dream of killing humanity. It's a dirty job & you're noble ass chose to take on the bold task.

[gg5574]

@losershram Dude, John makes some good ass music. I think most of his work is great and I think a lot of people would agree. You say, "keep his bloody paws off of Buckley." come on. This song has been covered by countless bands. Why dont you go to the other videos and say the same junk? Plus, Flea is bad ass. He is a great musician. Singer... not so much but he is a beast on the bass. Stop being a troll.

[losershram]

@gg5574 frusciante, queen of the ubernoncenannyplanetplanet ... flea sad frustrated old fuck ... gg5574 , hypocrittroll . These are just a few of the perverted ladies waiting to take YOUR calls to fuck up art none of you gits get. Give it some condescension from up on the high horse of we are experts in the field of holedeytpigeonz

& it's '"good" "to go"'. The peppers, both as musicians and spersons, and all their friends and fans suck wholesale ... deadude ... byebyenow.

[b3ga3000]

@losershram I thought that there is a limit to how stupid people can be, but then I read your comment.

[gg5574]

@losershram What did you even say or even attempt to say? You have no sence or sentence structure. Go to school, learn to write and display information, actually find a valid argument, stop being a troll, and maybe them I can see where you are coming from.

[losershram]

@gg5574 sence, the announcer? i don't want him you can have him & guess what just like you i didn't reaiyad what you wrote.

[losershram]

@gg5574 anyone who promotes schooling is dead inside ande without.

[gg5574]

@losershram I promote school so people wont be dumbasses like you.

[losershram]

@gg5574 thus proving you and those people are clinically mongoloyd hypocrits, agreed.

[losershram]

@gg5574 shiteating rabbid suicidal heroinshooting brainautobattering piece of filth sucka' just like furrfurnaceCIAntee.

[Pancho449]

@losershram

Come on man, back the fuck off if you don't like it, and if you can't handle a world where John Frusciante is a great musician, do us a favour and alienate yourself from society, go to a cave and fucking stay there.

People as egocentric, selfish, and close-minded as you are the reason why the world has developed as it has.

Have the decency to tolerate our opinion and if you can't handle it, shove your prejudice up where it fits.

[bytusr88]

@losershram dude flea could kick your ass stfu

[klawson211]

@losershram u mad bro?



[Bushie1988]

@losershram lol ... i just imagined you as the drunk at the back of the bar having a fit and pissing yourself while ranting about aliens rimming you

[Clayguy101]

@losershram dude, im not fighting or anything, but i literalycant read a single thing you wrote back there, and this is at everryone, whether or not you like john, just respect eachothers opinions, if you dont like it dont comment because it only pisses people off and we dont want that

[DaDutchGuy95]

@losershram

it's okay I understand you, it's a natural process you are going through, it's callen MENOPAUZE,

that would explain you're strange mood swings, so nothing to worry about :)

[RHCPFreaklolNEW]

@losershram If you don't like him then you should stay your little pathetic ass off of his videos.

[ambskater97]

@losershram I really hope you get blown by a shark, cock waffle.

[birchual]

this song is actually unbelievable. so many different style artists have a bash at it and all sound good cuz of the quality of the song.

[kharlos84]

The lyrics are amazing. John version of the song is very good

[thebradleys]

Again it's ok .. Of the two Buckley versions on tube ,the later(the blueish photo) version (in my opinion only)is the best , even better than This Mortal Coil fantAstic though this is.checkout the two versions by Mr Buckley, same song,same singer,same excellence but miles apart

[mrbobbie87]

john frusciante is GOD.

[Redzone8837]

Putain que c'est envoûtant ! J'adore, une merveille..

[nramsayutube]

This is the one song I can't turn off once Ive started listening to it. I have no choice, my ears are glued...its absolutely amazing!

[padleynj]

@nramsayutube try listen to buckley...this rendition is just "ok" but that's about it.

[eyemoeba]

really nice version, kind of halfway between the simplicity of the original and the vocal histrionics of this mortal coil's version. kudos to all three artists, but liz fraser's interpretation gets me emotional, and that doesn't happen very often.

beauty.

[superlastminute]

Love...

(to Tim too)

[La77a]

It's a beautiful song, beautifully written and covered always soulfully and with reverence. The rest is personal choice

[kkeretic]

The most powerful version ever.

[kkeretic]

@deardahl Of course I heard.

[iceonaboy]

@kkeretic Its good but no one can touch this Mortal Coil`s version!

[ajmcdonough]

This one is way better then the mortal coils one. But it's just my opinion.

[Primus789]

@ajmcdonough no thats not an opinion, thats a fact, this mortal coil is just a cover, john made this song his own, no disrespect to tim buckley, but holy shit did he nail this song, plus he did the organs, the guitar and the vocals....

[jamierourketen]

this mortal coiles is the original and best

[lickmyhorse]

@jamierourketen

i thin ull find tim buckley did the original

[whillyem]

If You ALL Want To Hear The BEST Version Of This Song- Check Out Sinead O'Connor's Version!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Sheblik77]

on the picture at 1:45 we can see the biggest music talent in the world

[Noeli123456]

: )

[peechyq]

i really, really like the music, but his voice seems a bit too, well, loud for this song. it seems to overpower the gorgeous music. he's a nice voice, but yeah...just sayin'. don't hate!!

[MattS2272]

@peechyq His voice IS the music though! Stunning!!

[psycopink]

wow john version of this is wonderful, as i say in alot of my posts,, hairs on the back on neck,, all uprite... lool.. ty :P

[theoryallogist]

damn dude sick coverr.
