“It’s, it’s like I’m in the fourth dimension and somebody is asking me to describe it verbally and that’s what the fourth dimension is all about, is no words, no symbols, no images, all pure, real energy and vibrations. And, and if I thought about how cruel of a world this is, I would probably just commit suicide after a while, if that was what I spent my energy thinking about. I would definitely not have any strength left to create music.” - John Frusciante

Josh on John

Like John Frusciante – I’ll never be him. I can never be another person. I can only be me, and hopefully people will like it. I mean, I’ve been a fan of this band since I was 10 years old, so it’s hard to sit and go, ‘You’re playing songs off of Blood Sugar…’ But like I said, you just have to be yourself, play the song as yourself – that’s what I’m reminded of every time I play with them.

Roma asked me to translate whatever bits of this I thought would be of interest to her. As usual with anything relating to John, I found the whole thing fascinating, and as this is as good a way as any to send Roma my translation, I thought I’d share the whole thing with all you fellow Frusciante fans!

Just a quick translator’s note; there are bits in the video where you can hear John talking his native English; instead of reverting to transcribing those bits exactly, I have re-translated back into English the German that’s been overdubbed, cos I think it’s more interesting to hear how the German overdub isn’t a 100% accurate translation of John’s words (the dubber is more economical with his language than our John!)

TRANSLATION:

Woman: LA - Sunset Strip, hundreds of fans on a pilgrimage to see a once in a lifetime event; John Frusciante, guitarist for Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Michael Rother, co-founder of the band Kraftwerk, together on one stage - rock meets electronic sounds.

John: For a long time we’d been thinking about how great it would be if someone as big as Michael were to come to LA. After I’d met Michael, we imagined what a dream it would be if we could be in a band together, and he also thought it was a good idea. So we talked about it, picked out a few different songs. Actually we’ve only rehearsed 2 times.”

Woman: They have already played on stage together last year, in Hamburg. At the end of a RHCP concert, Rother played a spontaneous 50 minute jam session with the band, which made for a memorable encore!

John: Someone like Michael is actually a part of the technological era; he worked with the computer and produced very good electronic music. I think my music could also have been made in 1971 and would still sound exactly the same as it does today.

The song title, “Flammenden Herzen” translates as “Flaming Hearts”

(oh, and can I also express my delight at the way the narrator pronounces Frusciante???!!!!!)

Inspired by John

I said some time ago that I was planning on doing some writing based around John’s work.

The idea isn’t to plagiarise, or to rewrite anything, but more to take a particular song, or even just a few lines, and try to tap into the emotion the song/extract brings out of me, and create something new from it.

Sometimes I’ll use the same words or phrases, sometimes it might be less clear which song I’ve chosen, but I’ll always aim to add a few notes or explanatory thoughts. This first piece is inspired by “Interior Two”:

“Song on the Wind”

Hearing the music

That blows on the wind

Reminds me of places

Where you and I sinned

We found the interior

Just me and you

We made our special place

Our interior two

And when I go there now

It’s your soul that I lack

And I wish, oh I wish

That you’d just come on back

Come back over to me,

To the place we found love

With our song, on the wind,

That plays from above.

This song always puts me in mind of a love lost, and of longing for a loved one. To me, interior two is a place; maybe physical, maybe just a headspace where these two lovers will always be together, even when in reality they are apart. I love John’s repeated pleas that his lover should “come back over”, and when he hears the song on the wind, it puts me in mind of a lover that has maybe died, and is a spirit singing to him. Maybe not even a lover, maybe just a friend. But the poem above is my engagement and reaction to the emotion the song gives me. Thanks for reading.

Andrew

I’m not content, I’ll never be content, for me it’s important to always change, I don’t the idea of being comfortable with where I’m at, if I was comfortable with where I was at whatever would be the next move I made would have to be inferior.

Is there a song of John’s that you absolutely love and that deeply affects you, but you can’t explain why? You might not be able to pinpoint anything in the lyrics or instrumentation that could be responsible for its profound effect on you, but at the same time you can’t deny it.

For me, this song is Saturation from To Record Only Water for Ten Days. In this video John describes it as a sad song, but asks the audience “have any of you ever had the experience where sad music makes you feel happy?” My answer to that would be “absolutely” - particularly with Saturation. Every time I hear it, I know in my head that it is meant to be sad, yet I somehow find it so light and uplifting. I absolutely love John’s expression beginning at 1.43 in the video; he looks so full of joy and this perfectly represents how the song makes me feel.

Thanks to my Twitter friend Roma for linking me to this video and making me hold back tears in front of everyone at a family gathering! ;) I love that John’s music is so profound as to affect us at any place and time.

-Mel
