John Frusciante - Anne

Album: Curtains (2005)

Curtains is the seventh solo album by John Frusciante released on February 1, 2005 through Record Collection.The last album in the six-in-six series was almost two months late due to a printing mistake, yet absolutely worth the wait. John's voice is better than ever and on some songs, such as Control and Ascension, he's literally playing with his wide vocal range and, through crystal-clear singing, once again, portraying the nude of his own soul; singing and strumming the cords from the living room for of his Los Angeles home, backed up by his friends Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Carla Azar and Ken Wild. The emotions and voice are echoing after having hit the glass and the walls and are channeled through the acoustic guitars, electric guitar overlays and even a melodica solo at the end of A Name, following the last sung lines starting with words from a children's game. On Lever Pulled, yet another song that resembles a poem from the later XIX century romanticism era, it sounds as if the notes escaped, tripped and broke against the floor. There are verses which could associate to Prometheus and Noah; yet the most of it is pure Frusciante, the raw flesh just torn off a poet's heart. Casual listeners are most likely to say that John resembles Cat Stevens on this album.

Lyrics:

Anne you can't hide

You know we'll find you

It's a matter where pride flies out the window

I never got the weight off the ground

I just forgot what's up and what's down

How many get the way I feel now

There's no regret

There's just the sense that

Nothing is going my way

There's so much that happened today

Mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm

Mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm mhm

Mhm

The gods of the city have called my name

It means more to them than it means to me somehow

I left my body

I left my fate

But is so hard to keep away now

Nothing is final because it seems all the while

There wasn't anything for me

I always faked my smile

There's so many careless angels responsible for me

They give me disease

They give me a pain in my neck to feed off me

Saying pay us the cost and we'll be gone now

They shut my eyes and i can't see now

These are the times I was scared of

These are the fates I pushed out of the way

Now they've come back here and haunt me

It's plain to see who the winner and loser will be

(Well-well)
