John Frusciante - Time Tonight
Album: Curtains (2005)

Curtains is the seventh solo album by John Frusciante released on February 1, 2005 through Record Collection.The last album in the six-in-six series was almost two months late due to a printing mistake, yet absolutely worth the wait. John's voice is better than ever and on some songs, such as Control and Ascension, he's literally playing with his wide vocal range and, through crystal-clear singing, once again, portraying the nude of his own soul; singing and strumming the cords from the living room for of his Los Angeles home, backed up by his friends Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Carla Azar and Ken Wild. The emotions and voice are echoing after having hit the glass and the walls and are channeled through the acoustic guitars, electric guitar overlays and even a melodica solo at the end of A Name, following the last sung lines starting with words from a children's game. On Lever Pulled, yet another song that resembles a poem from the later XIX century romanticism era, it sounds as if the notes escaped, tripped and broke against the floor. There are verses which could associate to Prometheus and Noah; yet the most of it is pure Frusciante, the raw flesh just torn off a poet's heart. Casual listeners are most likely to say that John resembles Cat Stevens on this album.

Lyrics:

For changing lines
I've got no time tonight
In these times the wind surpasses the tide
When the wake up's hard to find
Dreams make up for your life

This crazy shine
It never lets you die
Going up, we become what we want
Again the moon rises up too high
And we don't need the sky

Wonder what it is that makes the world turn slower
Wonder what it is that makes me feel so mad
Everyone that talks to me I so wish wouldn't
I wouldn't even care except I feel so bad
I feel so bad

Why is there no one in my life
Time
There's no time tonight
Wide
There's no room to see wide
Time
There's no time tonight

There's noone in my life

Wonder what it is that makes the world turn slower

Wonder what it is that makes me feel so mad

Everyone that talks to me I so wish wouldn't

I wouldn't even care except I feel so bad...

[MrJusticeDispenser07]

@Savvasorus I get that same effect whenever I listen to any of his music. It's a sign that you're listening to an amazing musician that can actually make you feel his music :)

@91hammo

Same feeling I get when I listen to ''The Mantle'' by Agalloch. Keep thinking back to watching Full Metal Alchemist in between tracks on the one day I had off. Late at night with house to myself. It was amazing.

I'm killing the replay button. Oh I'm in tears, too, as everytime I'm listening to this song. Touching like nothing else in this world.

I figured out that there is some people that really experience wonderful and special feelings about john's music..I'm one of those..My friend makes fun of the bizarre parts of some song (i guess he can't understand the sensations )and say he don't feel that special feeling...But he haven't heard enough material. I would like he could allow the john's poetry because is marvellous

[MrNatepage]

this song changed my life forever.

@Savvasorus Oddly, I know exactly what you mean, I just came back from a 2 hour walk listening to this album on loop, cant explain what was going on in my mind.

[NorCaliBeast]

1 dislike.... What the fuck is wrong with people... This brings tears to my eyes. Beautiful in every aspect.

[TheNegativo93]

[91hammo]
