John Frusciante - Far Away
Album: The Will To Death (2004)

The Will to Death is the fifth studio album by John Frusciante, released on June 22, 2004 on Record Collection. The album reached #36 on the Top Independent Albums chart.

Frequent collaborator Josh Klinghoffer appears, performing drums, bass, and keyboard.

In 2004 Frusciante announced that he would produce six albums during a six month break from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, with The Will to Death being the first of these. Following the long and costly recording of his previous album, Shadows Collide With People, Frusciante decided to experiment with recording music quickly and in a minimalist fashion, performing a maximum of two takes per track.

Frusciante has stated that the album is intended to be "the opposite of Shadows Collide With People": "On The Will to Death, I thought it would be a good idea to make a record with very little backing vocals, because we'd done it so much on Shadows. I always have to have a new idea for each album. For The Will to Death, the idea was to have very little backing vocals. There's a lot of other huge differences. In every way, I wanted the opposite of Shadows. "

Lyrics:

Oooh (ooh) away
Ooh (ooh away)
Oh

I can't disguise the things I do
And things I say have a way of hurting you
I'm over there
These dreams are all I have left I've nothing to spare
They're all I have

Oooh (ooh) away
Ooh (ooh away)
Oh

I can't pretend to be who I'm not
And there are things you need from me I haven't got
No way but to end
Pick up the pieces of our lives and maybe love again
There's only one way for things to be between you and me
There's only one way for things to be between you and me
There's only one way for things to be between you and me
There's only one way for things to be between you and me

[pedritomelo]
