John Frusciante - Of Before

Album: Shadows Collide With People (2004)

Shadows Collide with People is the fourth studio album by John Frusciante, released February 24, 2004. The album was written during the recording of By the Way, and is widely regarded as his most accessible work, featuring a mix of guitar-driven alternative rock, folk ballads, and electronica. Frusciante has stated that this was his most expensive album to date, costing around $150,000 to produce.

Flea plays a double bass on "The Slaughter", the closing track of the album. All tracks were written by John Frusciante and the majority of the vocal work is performed by him.

Frusciante also made acoustic and demo versions of these tracks available to fans through his official site, now only a blog, as an alternative to the highly produced sound of the record. A promo version of the album was also made, with the tracks "Omission", "Song to Sing When I'm Lonely", and "Failure 33 Object".

The album reached number 191 on the Billboard 200 and #11 on Heatseekers.

On the vinyl release of the album the words "One step away" were inscribed on side A, "There's riddles in the shadows" on side B, "A hint of sadness" on side C, and '"What they least suspect is coming next" on side D. All of these were hints to lyrics on John's next solo album The Will to Death.

Lyrics:

In this light I'm lost

In the darkness of before I walked

And I knew where I was all the time

Seeing with every part of who I am

Anyway you're a ghost in life

Pushed right out and kept inside of a bodiless weight

Pressure that has no space

As he goes along

He takes what he's lost and discards what he's won

He's every bit as alive as you and I

Everybody kills the light

When they're about to sleep for the night

As you go through life

You're a star in flight

When you close your eyes at night

Someone clears a path for you to ride

When you wake the next day

You will only go that way

That was cleared for you, cleared for you

Made for you, made for you
