13 - John Frusciante - In Relief (Shadows Collide With People)

John Frusciante - In Relief
Album: Shadows Collide With People (2004)

Shadows Collide with People is the fourth studio album by John Frusciante, released February 24, 2004. The album was written during the recording of By the Way, and is widely regarded as his most accessible work, featuring a mix of guitar-driven alternative rock, folk ballads, and electronica. Frusciante has stated that this was his most expensive album to date, costing around $150,000 to produce.

Flea plays a double bass on "The Slaughter", the closing track of the album. All tracks were written by John Frusciante and the majority of the vocal work is performed by him.

Frusciante also made acoustic and demo versions of these tracks available to fans through his official site, now only a blog, as an alternative to the highly produced sound of the record. A promo version of the album was also made, with the tracks "Omission", "Song to Sing When I'm Lonely", and "Failure 33 Object".

The album reached number 191 on the Billboard 200 and #11 on Heatseekers.

On the vinyl release of the album the words "One step away" were inscribed on side A, "There's riddles in the shadows" on side B, "A hint of sadness" on side C, and '"What they least suspect is coming next" on side D. All of these were hints to lyrics on John's next solo album The Will to Death.

Lyrics:

To seem you're in me and over me
Relief in all things
And all things shoot through me
And all things shoot through you
Wherever you are

To seem you're a dream when you never stop
And we ask you what you are
Belief as one with
Belief as one

What you believe in
Travel slowly
Move in circles
You know time grows old in reverse (oooh)

Life's a thing that began (nanananananana)
And was magnified
And made the first fire and the last one

To mean everything you never say
Every single thing going every way
When your leader's gone
He means to make you strong
He never went away
Cuz what you need you are
Hey
Hey hey

Hey

Had to thumps up the top two comments

[El0nw0lf]

@xxMMxKIDxx Oh well, my apologies then. I thought you tried to be smart with saying it wasn't even funny while it wasn't ment too be :P And I know what you mean now and you are right indeed. So let's enjoy Mr. Frusciantes music. :)

[xxMMxKIDxx]

@El0nw0lf I didn't mean sentence structure or grammatical content. I said that because Jazz, (most) rock, and funk aren't mainstream bullshit. (And just because you mentioned that, I deleted the "much" after "so" by accident. Don't act so smug.)

[El0nw0lf]

@xxMMxKIDxx

it isn't ment to be a joke or something, it is just a normal question with what would be my answer to it. Your comment is not even a normal sentence so don't mock me.
