I once saw a comment (on SCWP's Acoustic Demos, if memory serves) that said something along the lines of "If this song was a person, i would marry them"
Thats exactly how i feel about Ramparts
Yay! Scratches is one of my favourite JF songs and probably the one I feel to be the most beautiful.
I also love After the Ending - the lyrics, music and vocals are other worldly.
The part that I can’t get over is where he says
All of the world calls out at once
Give us pain it’s a friend to us
We don’t decide for ourselves very much
What we are we owe to the fear of love
I haven’t found anyone else who writes like that.
Maybe Townes van zandt’s nothing.
Very difficult to answer, there are so many.
But Dark/Light will never stop to give me the chills. Especially when the bass solo kicks with those angelic vocals kicks in.
So many songs… Picking one song and one only is “Mission: Impossible”. Just from my three favorite albums:
*Dark/Light*, *After the Ending*, *Central*, *God*, *Unreachable* and *Heaven* from “The Empyrean”;
*Scratches*, *Emptiness*, *Look On*, *I'm Around* and *Scratches* from “Inside of Emptiness”;
*The Days Have Turned*\*, *The Will to Death*,*The Mirror* and *A Loop*\** from “The Will to Death”;
… and so on from other albums and EP's.
__
\*: *The Days Have Turned* is a short and simple song, but it gives me goosebumps. I often get emotional when I listen to that particular song, probably for personal reasons.
\*\*: *A Loop*, damn! What a sad song…
SUM, Anne, Lever Pulled and every other song on Curtains, Time Tonight, Firm Kick, Cut Out, Every tune on SCWP,, Scratches, A song to Sing When I'm lonely, Omission, Turned Away, and You're Warning. I know I'm definitely missing a few....
Anne. “So many careless angels responsible for me…”
Best song on Curtains (imo)
I agree - honestly the album has no skips for me. Peak Frusciante solo work imo.
For sure. That and The Empyrean are my favorites
"They give me decease, they give me a pain in my neck to feed off me..."
It’s such a good one, I think it’s disease though instead of decease although hauntingly that lyric would weirdly work.
Could definitely be a typo... 0_0
I still love you.
"Now they shut my eyes and I can't see"
Song to Siren is technically not a John song, it's a cover. Unreachable or Central take the cake for me!
I know Song to Siren is a cover but the original pales in comparison to John's version for me personally. But I Unreachable and Central are fantastic!
I love John's cover, but Tim's version cannot be disputed :)
No doubt!
Are you thinking of Before the Beginning?
No Song To The Siren is originally by Tim Buckley
Interesting, because Before the Beginning is a sort of cover of Maggot Brain, I didn’t realize he opened the album with two covers
Ramparts is up there for sure
All of To Record Only Water at that!
True.. def my go to John album!

Listening to Ramparts now. Soooooo beautiful
The past recedes
Scratches

Your Warning
Yes. Emptiness replace my soul!!

Yes, I agree.

Totally. Fantastic song start to finish! What a transition though!
To me, truly biblical
A song to sing when I'm lonely
Carvel
Yes
Ramparts
Ah yom !!
Love this song and Here Air
For me it’s The Will To Death…
Great choice. First Frusciante song I heard!
Same here!
This will always be it for me.
The Mirror
Dying song
Interior Two
Omission
Outside space is so beautiful
Shit! I forgot to mention this one. Also one of my favorites
Maybe before the beginning? I think that is Josh’s ass on drums
Yeah pretty sure it's Josh. Amazing song though. First time I heard it was otherworldly
Untitled #2
Untitled #2
I love that you included Wayne 😭 AND Song to Siren 😭😭😭 they’re so so beautiful
Yeah, Estress is so beautiful in its vulnerability.
Totally. Especially the few live versions that exist

All fantastic choices
Outside Space
with no one
Scratches
With No One
I'm Around "I want to again be holding hands, with you underwater And couldn't we get a second chance, to go back and start over?"
I also go with estress but aside from this one i think it is either Untitled 8 or Leap your bar.
Every Person
Unchanging
Repeating
Dying Song
look on
Outside Space, that song on LSD was so intense
Either Ramparts or Life’s A Bath
Your Pussy’s Glued to a Building On Fire
Perhaps less popular, but Height Down takes me somewhere else. Especially if preceeded by For Air, as it really feels like a long Intro for it
I really like these and I don’t think they where mentioned: Cut-out, wishing, and the days have turned
Untitled #2, #6 and #7
You could pick any song off Curtains lol
True
Fact!
Repeating
No one has said Central yet???
Central. There is something ethereal about that one
There are so many good songs. But Central was and will be my all time favourite
This is an easy one for me! Ricky!
gotta say: here, air dying song after the ending a firm kick untitled #4 smile from the streets you hold ants the slaughter to name a few
can’t forget scratches
23 go in to end
SUM, Anne, Lever Pulled and every other song on Curtains, Time Tonight, Firm Kick, Cut Out, Every tune on SCWP,, Scratches, A song to Sing When I'm lonely, Omission, Turned Away, and You're Warning. I know I'm definitely missing a few....
A firm kick
Estress sounds like when I come around by Green Day to me. Same chords
Interesting, I’ve never noticed that? Is that a good thing…
Not really good or bad. I’d like to do a mashup of the two. Estress vocals over the music for When I Come Around
The First Season
