John Frusciante - Carvel
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:

A-aah aaah ah
A-aah aaah ah
A-aah aaah ah
A-aah aaah ah

When I try I force it out
Never looking in only out
Now is the time for millions to lose
Never the same since I lost you
Running me out of town
Wishing the best around
Would only get off my back
Heaven receives you and throws you back

Sending a dummy to my God
Sending a dummy to my God
Sending a dummy to my God
Sending a dummy to my God

A-aah aaah ah
A-aah aaah ah
A-aah aaah ah
A-aah aaah ah

Driving to eat a Carvel cake (driving to eat a Carvel cake)
Somewhere you know isn't where you think (driving to eat, driving to eat)
Have you gone away (aaah aah)

Have you gone have you gone away already (come back come back come back come back)
Have you gone have you gone away already (come back come back come back come back)
Yeah
Have you gone have you gone away already (come back come back come back come back)
Yeah-hey
Have you gone have you gone away already
All the good times are on their way

Up and down and that's how energy stays alive
Yeah
Up and down and that's how energy stays alive
And I wouldn't have it any other way
(Wouldn't have it any other way)
Yeah-hey
