Tear Jerker / John Frusciante

Go To

  • Don't listen to Curtains if you're depressed. The whole album is made of songs like this.
  • "Dying Song". Dear lord, "Dying Song".
    "I'm going away forever/I'm going away forever/Never coming back this way/Never coming back to this place"
  • From the album he did with Josh Klinghoffer, "Communique" and "My life".
  • "I'm Around" is about a couple's baby dying.
    • From the same album, "A firm Kick" and "Look On".
  • "Smile From The Streets You Hold" is about a friend of his who died in a car crash.
  • The bonus track of The Empyrean, "Here, Air"
    "How can I be who I could have been?/I'd like to start over again/Angels did I fail you with my fall/What are we but the cause of it all?"
  • "Chances".
    "And I'm not me anymore"
  • "The Days Have Turned".
    "I'm searching for what it means/To never be anything, anything"
  • "Untitled #12", from Usually a T-shirt. It's even worse when you watch the VPRO interview part where this song is played. A almost skeletal Frusciante sits on the floor, twisting into the most strange positions. And then he lays down, closes his eyes and puts both hands on this chest, pretending he's dead. Good God.
