John Frusciante's Unknown VPRO Song (Cover)

Here's my cover of 'Unknown' from the famous VPRO-documentary. It was one of the first songs (maybe the very first) John ever wrote, at the age of 14 (so that should've been in 1984).

My rendition of the song is personal, it is how I'd imagined John would have done it, if he had made a proper studio version of the song. (Although I did hear there was a studio version of 'Unknown' on the very first cassettes of 'Niandra Lades And Usually Just A T-Shirt').

PS: I really broke what was left of my voice on that one, it's very hard to 'sing' that song. Now I'm a guitarist, not a singer so if anybody thinks he could do a better job on vocals I'd be happy to send him the Backing Track I made ;) Enjoy!

Added Lyrics Upon Request:

Helen around you has nothing to do, with those fakes and snakes they think we give to them.

They think they're that, we think they're that...
Are we, just came from a red pencil
Feelings a sliding wheel, ooh....

See, look at me now
se're like pieces of water with love os seen and unseen.
You see times they cyn,
and I'm moving on frail, so goodbye it's
a pleasure we just met
that's what you get,
that's what you get

I love you
