John Frusciante - Falling 

Sometimes I forget why i picked up the guitar.. Then I go back and listen to Frusciante and remember why

This is the song I listened to after my first real heartbreak. Ironically I sit here, mind drifting back to this song. My brother died in a car accident last night. This song perfectly encapsulates how I feel. Paralyzed, numb, staring down a barrel, and at the other end, the void. I hadn't talked to him in 6 months. He left this world thinking I hated him, and I'll never get to tell him just how much I love him. Just how much I miss him. Not in this life at least. L'appel du vide. I love you dude, and I'll never forget you.

Once you hear John's songs for the first time its like you falling into the rabbit hole....

John Frusciante creates music that reaches the soul.

how can someone tell such a great story without using words im in awe

This is like being tuned into a frequency you've ignored or never knew existed. Incredible

From what I understand, he simply recorded the whole thing on a cassette recorder and played it backwards. How he molded the whole thing together with such perfect timing is a mystery to me though. Very simple technology mixed with a bit of Magik.

Here we go, into another dimension..

when my house burnt down, I listened to John everyday and every night, admittedly kind of obsessively. I am not gonna say I wouldn't have made it without his music behind me, all I can say is that I am very appreciative that it was there for me at that time in my life.

This song makes me feel like John's my friend and he's telling me to hang on

don't need any drugs to get high anymore :)

I decided to put on this track in the hopes of having some beautiful background music whilst I write up my essay, but its just a little bit too special for me to do my work. Stunning.

Unlike most other music, I can only listen to my John Frusciante playlist every now and then, as if the music is too powerful and way too good, so it needs to be taken in small doses. The unique voice of his guitar brings out feelings that are berried too deep for other music to even come close. On some evenings though, I let myself loose and I overdose. That is when I really come to life.:)

My son 1 month age is falling sleeping with this masterpiece

2:52 this part hit me so hard

A million views!!! YEEEAH!!! A mllion people love great music , SPREAD THE LOVE!!!!!

ahhhh how the hell does he make that guitarr sound!?? Sounds like the grass speaking to the people not to step on it. Beautiful.

Over a million gives me comfort that other people enjoy real music too.....although I reckon 750000 of these are mine alone.

I feel like the picture of this video and this song are meant to be together. They belong to each other and it makes me close my eyes and feel kind of nostalgic for something that never happened, never lived... Strange but beautiful

how can an artist do this? I feell like i'm falling.. I'm trying to imagine anything else, but then again i can't stop feeling like i'm fallin down from the sky against the air. It's magical...

His artistic use of the reverse delay is incredible. In case any of you haven't used it, try it and you will appreciate this kind of stuff even more. I've only had the opportunity to do so in small amounts but you have to set the delay at a timing that very specifically matches what you are doing and it can be really hard to do it and get it to sound as smooth and articulate as John.

This is God speaking through a guitar

BITCHES HOUSE

This song is a meditation. It's a metaphysical walkabout.

Thanks John! Thanks for teach me that a song does not need a lyrics to convey a message!

i constantly change bands and music i listen to but John Frusciante always stays, there were pauses from listening to him but he's music always comes back

That's pure talent. John has a gift beyond this world. 🗺

I’ve not been doing well really and John Frusciante has been a release for me and I was stuck in my guitar playing I wasn’t really going anywhere and I didn’t feel like I was at my potential then I got into the chili peppers and then John’s solo stuff and now I feeling like a better guitar player now and I have a style of playing and just the music is a way to cool down or think

that guitar is talking to me O.o

Yesterday I showed my 10 years old sister 15 of my favorite songs. She used to evaluate the songs while there where playing. Just as I played this one she was just listening. Afterwards she couldn't discribed what happened. She use to speak a lot but after this song she remain silent. But she was happy for sure.

I would listen to this song when I was in love. Now I'm out of love and my heart aches every now and then, and this song reminds me of those times. It still sounds just as beautiful, but in different ways

My goal in this life is to be able to compose something as beautiful as this

Sounds like Slow Cheetah outro :)

From John's own dimension ... Brilliant !

The uneven pattern of the notes sounds almost like rain falling.

Quand je lis les commentaires de partout dans le monde les gens arrivent a mettre des mots sur ce que je ressens vraiment en écoutant John Frusciante. C'est génial.

i think time machine has already invented ..and its called music ..when I'm listening to john's music stuff I just travel to peaceful memories !!!

John can make time flow backwards when he plays.

I do not need to why, but this guy makes me cry with his guitar, its like he is just playing with my feeling in literal sene :)

3D Animation with sound

Man I feel this song is about describing the life we all live/ lived. All the Reverse Guitar parts depict all the chaos and confusion that surrounds us yet we choose to fight and live each day. It keeps coming back every now and then just as he keeps introducing those guitar parts. And somehow as the Track progresses we get kinda used to it just as we get used to the everyday chaos and struggles in our day to day lives. But the ending is one of the most beautiful pieces of Music that has ever been written. It's more like a conclusion. When it's the end of the road for us our entire life flashes in front of us and we realise what life was all about and how we lived it all in our own terms. Thanks John. Sometimes you don't need a bunch of words . A man and his guitar is all that's needed at times

Beautiful how the song is named “Falling”, yet it catches you.

can someone make a 10 hours version of this, thanks

Master.. Sir JOHN FRUSCIANTE!!!

This video should have at least 1,000,000 views because of how often I listen to this song, it's amazing

I fucking love everyone who commented here and is sharing the love.. This guy knows how to move people wth his music. :)

Listening to this, every time i find myself slipping away into the fourth dimension. it's a beautiful place. Johns music is so amazing. I've never heard anything with so much emotion in it besides his music. There truly are no words to describe how beautiful this is. John i love you man! Thank you so much for creating this art.

Songs like this makes me release that Frusciante is more than a good guitarist, he is a musician. An Architect. A crafter. A real bloody musician.... Damn I have som much respect for him

I'm Korean and have been a fan of Frusciante for 9 years and going strong!!!! Love this

John, your music heals. Thank you, brother.

Time to casually throw myself into another dimension

This is a beautiful colorful dream

Squidward s house

That's why I love him... *--*

Sí! y en Perú también habemos quienes apreciamos el arte de Frusciante ...

I don't have words to describe how much I love this song!

2:55 best part oh god

esto es amor puro y real - poesía hecha música

This has to be Frusciante's best solo song.

I'm lucky to be alive in this age. To witness this kind of art... Can't find the right words to describe it but I just want to thank you so much for your music.. Also thanks for sharing!

I've never heard this song before. It's the best feeling unexpectedly discovering Frusciante gems on RU-vid.

Looking for reverse guitar delay pedal, that's also got SOS (sound on sound) looping without bit deterioration: The BOSS DD20 Giggadelay. Go ahead and get 2. Build a loop to 26 secs, then hold the left pedal down whenever you want to add to the loop. Then have the next user preset (#1, actually) set to backwards.

I feel like in the 4th dimension...

Intro Sounds a lot like the new song teaser Rhcp dropped

Why does it feel John was the last pure guitarist of our time 😎😎😎

This is the kind of song you listen to in a vulnerable moment. Crying naked in the middle of your hallway, fetal position, whiskey bottle in your hand.

Everytime I go here again, seriously EVERYTIME, I'm shocked how he did these stereo sounds, beautiful!

transcendental melodic heaven

My first contact with John´s world was with this song. It´s a door that you pass trougth and there´s no back.

I hope one day John sees these comments

John Frusciantes contribution to my soul, the music idustry and The Brown Bunny soundtrack is an eternal blessing for the ages to come 😢

the repetitive acoustic guitar riff hypnotizes me 💙

is this era of John Frusciante's solo material anyone else's all-time favourite music?

I can't believe I'm only NOW listening to this song. I'm forever grateful to a music teacher who introduced me to John Frusciante's perfection.

愛しすぎて泣きそう。

This reminds me of Himy Jendrix :P

Lollll. Found a comment from 4 years ago that is posted. Weird.. Time flies

I come always here to listen when I feel that I've lost my way in life.

Just close your eyes, look at the black void, fall in it, feel how it tries to take you to it's deepest, and find that even if you think your alone, there's someone in that dark hole, waiting for you to join it and then, finally, be together alone, because what is in there is you

Oh and: the picture is just right for the music.

man im pretty sure there will never be any music better than JF. listening for 10 years now and still cant get enough. I cant wait to let my kid hear this stuff

Instrumental naah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This song talks to you

Beautiful, magnificent word are worthless

Frusciante is phenomenal... Ive always been able to pull inspiration from his music.

How can someone unlike that song? John is a genius!

John's music connects to a part of me that I can't even name. It just seems to tap into this energy that I have no explanation for. He is such a fantastic artist - I have so much admiration for him and his talent.

the vibes just amazing... my hole body is feeling this

Found this by accident, never heard of the movie that this tune was produced for, but never heard anything quite like this before either. For reasons I don't understand I find it fascinating and mesmerising and the illustration adds to the magic. Thanks.

tanrım yine müziği kutsarken.

Usually RU-vid comments are a cesspool of spite and hate from people who are obviously not happy with their lives or themselves. I think it really shows that John's music takes that pain away. I like to think it would make him smile to see how people interact here. Trump, Putin and Kim Jong Un need to just sit down and listen to this track.

This piece is so beautiful. I hope that I can meet John one day. I just want to talk to him, even if it's just for a little bit. I don't even need pictures or an autograph from him. I just want to tell him how much his music means to me, both his work with RHCP and his own solo work. I hope I can, one day.

I hope i can meet all of you people in this comments section, and experience this song together

It doesn't matter what he sees as the art, it's how you perceive the art (sounds) based upon your whole life experiences....certain sounds will relate more or less to you. Make not off what it is, just be

Beautiful human being

this song just feels so fucking bizarre and like its calling for something it can't achieve. it kind of sounds like a sentence that rolls off your tongue very well

this what plays at bitches house
