Lions & Tigers come running just to steal your luck

The stadium arcadium makes me very happy, the first time I've heard it I choose Especially In Michigan as my favorite music from the entire Album. Today I would say which my favorite is Wet Sand. The fact is: this disc was released in May 9, 2006, and we are on Fev 5, 2009, almost four years (It's a long time). No official news about chili peppers, just "we're on hiatus" or "there's no plan", many speculation already shows up: the band's end, John Frusciante out of the band, disconnection between the members...

And what I think? I just think they gave a lot of music to us, if they split or something else, we can't complain... About the end or not I have my doubts in both sides! If the band ends or Frusciante get out of band I'll miss them to much!

I quoted four years as much time because the actual busines model to bands isn't sell discs but do live shows (tours) around the world.

I am Rael - Imrael - Frusciante's post

RaelVS

Rael

Analyzing Title

Frusciante's new post is Imrael. Just for fun I try to figure out what is Rael and I have these options:

• Race car driver Claude Vorilhon, now known as Raël, who founded and leads the Raëlian Movement.
• The Renewable and Appropriate Energy Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley
• Rael, the character from the album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway released in 1974 by the band Genesis
• "Rael", the title of a song on the album The Who Sell Out released in 1967 by the band The Who
• Rael, a character in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "Wink of an Eye"

It's just my interpretation for what is Imrael (I'm Rael or I'm Real or .... ) from that options above I believe that it could be "the title of a song on the album The Who Sell Out released in 1967 by the band The Who" and you?

Enjoy the content

The post is very clear with some points about The Empyrean content and brings much of Frusciante's ideas. After all I can't explain all acknoledges there just read it to understand. To read click here.

* All this is my opinion and don't express what it really means. Only John Frusciante knows what it means.

John Frusciante - The Empyrean Review

The Empyrean review by myself

The meaning music by music for my interpretation.

Here I'll try to post my fellings 'bout each music from The Empyrean album from John Frusciante. My understanding! You must have in mind two statements:

• I'm not a musician specialist so any incorrect terms tell me and I'll make it rigth.
• My sound system just have 2 channels so with have some effect in 3D I possible can't feel :(

1 - before the beginning 9:09 (instrumental)

You can clearly hear the drums, I don't think Flea is at this track.

2 - song to the siren 3:33 (cover)

I'd never hear the original ( I can't find it for a while) however I like this music. Beauty and sound as familiar.

3 - unreachable 6:10 (premiere)

Two voices at "same" time COOL effect! (I loved) the first music I've heard. Flea could be here?! Maybe.
HotSpot - "hey shoot me..." + Solo

4 - god 3:23 (my prefered one for now)

You know the sensation of NEW this music comes to my mind as a total NEW concept of music (melody). It touchs my felling when I hear. The concept of God or the many visions of the same God, great lyric. "Still I love you, love you just the same... Be for me,"

5 - dark/light 8:30

Starts so sad, downside... with some beauty effects on voice (just voice and piano I guess) and at 2:45 the music shows the true form with one of most beautiful voices... perfect combination.
Ends with light moment. Comes from dark to light. The end voices screaming "ah ahhh" seems as church coral. Flea could be here?! (I believe so)

6 - heaven 4:03

Great base line! (and bass too).
Starts with silence, calm and ends with felling of "yeah I got what I need".

7 - enough of me 4:14

Starts like a lulaby music. John Frusciante second voice is perfect.
Ends fast as it can be.

8 - central 7:16

At beginning I fell like I'm on the Heaven (the felling of "everything is fine").
In midle to end the music make the central point to one of the best guitar solos.

9 - one more of me 4:06

The voice here is the main point, COOL!!
But the violin here was essential! The #1 for users view in this blog.

10 - After the ending 3:57

Clear mind, clear life... just live.
Also perfect voice and effects over the voices.

The bonus tracks I don't have them ;(
After read the poem I guess I've got a little of message within this masterpiece called The Empyrean. It's good to know that my impressions was "fine" (not right or wrong) with the intend of John Frusciante. I'll write one conclusion about the whole album history soon.

The Empyrean - A Poem

John saids in your official blog.
"a poem that reflects the composition of the story in The Empyrean"
"They are just my way of offering something to people who are interested."
YES, I'm VERY interested!

"vaguely express the lyrical and musical"
If you want to read the poem just click here.

I already that impression (passed though music) just by hearding the album.

Understanding The Empyrean Album From John Frusciante

At the last post John Frusciante talks about some amazing and cool things.
Firstly he gaves some guidelines to understand the lyrics from The Empyrean album.
And saids the important sentence: "I avoided discussing any of this in the small amount of press I did."
It was visible to all that John almost never wants to talk about the lyrics meaning. (and your religion view too)
One more sentence:
"I’m just explaining the way I see the outline, but the contents and the details remain open to interpretation."
So we always will have the power (good/bad) to interpret his lyrics...
The essence of art is that, you understand something I take another view and all things is fine (not rigtht or wrong).
I'm anxious to heard it... (It's a pain wait for mail delevery this cd to me, I almost buy the downloadble cd...)

The meaning of the Art is

• SEE/HEARD/READ IT FOR YOURSELF
• TRY TO FEEL IT
• AFTER THAT YOU CAN READ ABOUT ANOTHER VIEWS OF THAT

"Before to read the guru's book write yours." (SEIXAS, Raul)
