'Outside Space' is the 2nd track off the Estrus EP by John Frusciante, you can hear a bit of this song at the end of 'Mascara' (Niandra Lades and Usually Just A T-Shirt). Rate, comment & enjoy! Gaël
I recommend you get the estus ep this track is (its track #2) in its entirety on as well as give both sides of Niandra a thorough listening, cuz it's just full of otherworldly haunting beauty and if u pay atnn. you will recognize a snippet/outtake of this song.
Same here. I bought (or had my dad buy because I was a kid) NL&UJaT-shirt because I had accidentally downloaded a portion of this song on Napster, but it got cut off. I listened to the whole album, and was elated when it started at the end of "Mascara". I was like, "Awww yeah, here we go...awwww hell no, it was like 5 seconds!!!" Glad the internet has advanced since those days.
he's not the best guitarist ever by far, their are to many jazz guitarist that would blow him away, but he is probably the best songwriter of this and his generation, his songs make you feel like you're supposed to, that's pretty bad ass in itself
I wish i would meet somebody in real life who would just understand John. I think i be so fucking happy and feel complete, someone with who'm i could just talk about this fucking genius with all day 24/7 because god knows i would. This song is just amazing, i just feel as if i am leaving my body when i listen to this piece of simple yet powerful music. Thanks for everything John.
+Prisms Edits I feel sam way, and I found that person and im really happy. I wish that John will sometimes read this messages, that would make me even more happy and im glad that there are people who understand him and his feelings and emotions. Peace!
I was listen to "Mascara" by JF. "The ending riff is amazing! It's such a shame that it's so short" I thought. Today I heard for the first time Outside Space. Well, I feel so good!
John frusciante's music is like alcohol addiction : first you start it late in the night and keep it to nights only But later it consumes you so here you are listening it at 2 in the afternoon 🧡
I heard this in high school when I was depressed over a person who I thought abandoned me in high school who I really liked. I would loop this song over and over. Such beautiful stuff
See how amazing, full of love an positive energy John's music is, that everyone in here is commenting beautiful things. Love you all, keep on travelling great distances in your mind with this beautiful creation.
This song is the soundtrack to my descent into madness. This was the last song I listened to before the drugs sent me into a gibbering mess. This is the first time I've listened to this song since it happened 6 months ago. I'm a better person now, and so is John. This song is beautiful.
Since I'm already going through a real dark period of my life, I think this song is my perfect companion. It makes darkness way less scary and a lot more comfortable. I feel like laying down on my bedroom floor with the lights out and just wait for the darkness and sadness to go away. I know I'll be safe as long as I can count on this song.
Is it possible to travel very long distances in your mind, or deep into the corners of your soul, caressing the most profound emotions through sounds, using nothing but your ears, standing still in a chair? Yes, you can. Sorry for my english but I just wanted to make that question. This era of John is a direct access to the most emotional moments of my life. Greetings from Argentina! 🇦🇷
i just created a youtube channel in order to comment on this particular song that i religiously listen on a daily basis. This hauntingly beautiful piece of guitar takes me to places i’ve never been and touches my soul like any other song can.
i had the single and used to listen to it on repeat and when i was dying from heroin addiction I knew that this would be the last song I would hear ringing through my head. I lost the single or it got stolen. Either way it was a talisman and foreshadowing of things to come. I got free in spite of all my efforts. I love John because I do remember when he put out To Record Only Water I knew he was clean cause you could tell and the music was fantastic and it gave me hope. Shortly thereafter I got a lot of help and took it. God bless John. I'll forever be grateful for his theme music of my demise/shared experience and hope music. He's the real deal.
I got Niandra the day it came out on tape and then again on CD and then Smile from the streets and stress 45. I also saw him play when he was semi fucked up during the nutstalk tour and his backing band was fishbone dudes. He screamed and shredded. It seemed like he was exercising all the demons. That was 1997. I got clean in 2001. He lead the way and at the time was really the only kind of hope I had was my understanding that he must have changed to produce a new record where the music had changed and he was clean.
Every time I had a fight with my ex-girlfriend I would go running on the beach while listening to this song. Now we're not together and I live far away from that place. Listening to this song again after so much time is so nostalgic in a weird way... Thank you, John. You saved me in my worst times.
i wake up and i know that life will be okay, no matter how difficult it may be , artists like John are and inspiration and are living proof that its okay to be sad. he helps me see the beauty in the world and for that gives me a purpose.
This guy made me pick up the guitar and made me write my own songs, if someone in life lights the spark in you to be creative that’s a beautiful feeling. The planet shouldn’t be going green going electric, we should run on the real energy of our souls 💜
I've always loved RHCP but I recently started to get more into John frusciante and I kid you not, this man is the most beautiful, creative, raw and deep person I've ever known of. I feel like I'm part of a group of whom that I can bond with
The first time I heard a JF solo record was the time I felt that warm sensation in my chest, something like a very simple but complex feeling at the same time. So I had to check him out of the music, like what he thinks and what his words would be like if his music was this amazing, I thought he would have something special to say. So I discovered "The Heart is a Drum Machine", if you haven't heard about this, I hardly recommend it. He is a truly amazing human being, meditation and do good in others by spiritually perfecting yourself takes you to this point where you know everything has a balance and the present is everything.
Reading all these comments at midnight and i am just speechless at how beautiful this man's work is and how he can bring so many people together and help people with his music. i love it and i cant say more other than this.
I cannot listen to this song. When I first listened to it, i was really into weed. At the point that I stopped going to classes on college, i lived surrounded by shit and I never cared about anything. At this point I was starting to realize how big the problem was and I started to make me sick. I couldn't stay that way but i didnt wanted to stop. Was though. This song made me concious and made me feel so bad about myself I couldnt even listen the whole song. Nowadays, I stopped smoking and Im really okay, but I cannot listen more than 10 secs of this song. I just can't. And its just not by remembering my suffering, its more deep than that. It's the song itself. Thanks for reading.
Álvaro Carbonell honestly no one cares what you think / feel about the song , weed or not , conscious or not , going through shit or being in love ...peace ✌🏻
His music got me through years of heroin and meth addiction lol. And I still listen to the first two albums, it's weird how music is received so differently.
Only when there is no competition we will all live in peace. In losing, much is gained. In gaining, much is lost. Knowing the constant is called "enlightenment" By knowing the constant we can accept things as they are. The master acts on what she feels, not on what she sees.
this song has been my favourite john song for years and today a sample of it randomly came up on my tiktok for you page…when i tell you i got chills all over my body hearing those first notes completely out of the blue.
Some observations from listening to this song: 1. This is one of the most complete songs I've ever heard. You could put the elliptical melody of the intro on repeat for an entire day and I would be happy. 2.He sounds kind of like Marc Bolan at 3:48 on "Would there be any time.." 3. Favorite sample Lyrics: "He ejaculated hula hoops of color.." and "I don't evenfeel like a battered photograph". 4.The spiritual freedom of his music has gotten me this last year of pain.
never heard anything so spiritually moving and soul touching like JFs guitar. The lyrics he writes and his tones and riffs just mimic his cosmic pain and i feel like I get it. Not all of it but too much and I feel like no one understands my love for good music, I mean like really good music but I have so much to share and no one to share it with and that kinda makes me feel lonely and melancholic sometimes, but it’s also my own lil gem. What a beautiful soul, what a virtuous, I’m thankful to life in a time where I can listen to this
Beautiful. I also only heard this as the ending to mascara, I remember buying Niandra on import when i was a teenager, I was in a band at the time, and this album gave me the reason to quit and follow my own path…
The end of mascara always so beautiful to me but i just figured that it was something that was a little jam that got thrown in right there, and theres a whole song. I was delighted when i found it. the beginning of it is just so good, i can't think of any words for it.
I was always frustrated when listening to "Mascara" and knowing that this riff would only play for like 2 bars. Finding this was one of the best days of my life. This is in contention for favorite riff of all time.
When i hear this Song I feel free, it' s difficultà to explain by words a feeling, but It' s Like I was in a wonderfull, peacefull, brighting sea in a Summer day. John Frusciante Is a great artist his music Is one of the most beautifull thing in this world. I hope that i was able to write in a good english.
get this right, john frusciante is MY HERO and i love his work with rhcp and am just starting out to listen to his solo stuff, i only found out that john frusciante had solo stuff on the side so i only know like 20 of his songs really well (my favourite is anne) and i heard someone talk about this song and i hadnt heard of it before, so i looked it up and the first time i heard it, i thought it was a bit weird and didnt really like it, but i listened to it again and it kinda stuck with me. the more and more i listen to it, i fall in love with it even more! there's just something about this song that makes me feel really relaxed and there's something nostalgic about it that i cant explain, but the feeling is really beautiful! i love this song and i love john frusciante, i hope he continues to make more of this music as its really amazing!!!!!!!!!!
+Ewa Marczuk really good! Did you hear he released new music for free the other day. There are a few albums and songs and stuff it's really cool you should check them out on his RU-vid channel! Unfortunately, I read somewhere that he doesn't plan to release any more new music after this, which is a shame. :(
Zac Fernandez don't wonder if he's going to release anything more or not- he is unpredictable. But he loves music much and- I think- he likes to share it with people, so there are chances!
i miss my og homie ruben but he hates me now i showed him this jam i hope one day when he’s zooted bummed/happy/etc he comes back to listen to this and reads this bc bro I’m so sorry what I said, miss you heavy love you man hmu if you see this it’ll mean a lot if you were my homie again aka older brother to me all in all, life is such a bitch but this song makes it so much better yet in a sad way god help me im fucking drunk as shit ):
i feel like this is just one of those songs you wait your entire life for, one of my favorites bc of an old friends recommendation. I hope you maybe worked things out with your friend, if not remember to always keep your head up, no one will ever stop you, sending love
I know this is techacally bragging but i dont mean it to be im just soo fucking happy i got it, but i just got this 7" record in vinyl and its one of the only 100-300 left in the whole world
Another one from the genius!!!! I ❤️ this!!!! It makes the hair on your neck stand up. That's how powerful your music is . Thanks for another blessing brother John 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Think about this: this song sounds like an actual astronaut that is left to die on the space because of a fatal error on the rocketship, and the only thing he can do now is observe the immensity of the deep and empty place that is space and how small we are compared to our universe. It sounds bittersweet, like you know you can't do anything, but you're still grateful to have lived enough to see the cosmos.
