Jane's Addiction - Three Days (Hammerstein Ballroom) part 1 video free download

Doug Steinhauer

"Three Days is a Jane’s Addiction song written in 1986 aboutXiola Blue’s visit to Los Angeles, where she came to attend herfather’s funeral and stayed with Perry Farrell and CaseyNiccoli. The trio spent three days together experimenting withdrugs and sex, which is the basic premise of this song.Contrary to what some may believe, this song is not aboutXiola’s death as it was written prior to that tragic event,however it was the last time Perry would see Xiola.Opening Poem:The spoken-word bit performed by Perry Farrell at the beginningof this song has been debated for years, and will likelycontinue to be until an isolated recording of the song surfaces.Transcription of the poem is difficult once the music kicks in.The poem audio also appears to diverge and sections soundrepeated. The following is considered the current “best effort”at transcribing this as it appears in the song. The ellipsesindicate where the audio becomes indiscernible."Beginning Poem:At this momentyou should be with usfeeling like we dolike you love tobut never will againI miss you my dear XiolaI prepared the room tonightwith Christmas lightsa city of candlesfresh sheetswe are all filled with dense cloudsthat have us sunk into the mattressI need to touch your skin…an alien she was…No one made friends as easily as Xiola…Drug pushing constructorsWe were always in the audience that plagued her.One night I met a poet…If you listen carefully, it sounds like the poem may continueafter this point.Lyrics:Three days was the morningMy focus three days oldMy head, it landed, to the sound of cricket bows…I am a proud man anyway…Covered now by three days…Three days was the morningThree lovers, in three waysWe knew when she landed, three days she’d stayI am a proud man anyway…Covered now by three days…We saw shadows of the morning lightThe shadows of the evening sunTill the shadows and the lights were oneWe saw shadows of the morning lightThe shadows of the evening sunTill the shadows and the lights were one…True hunting is overNo herds to followWithout game, men prey on each otherThe family weakens by the bite we swallow…True leaders gone, of land and peopleWe choose no kin but adopted strangersThe family weakens by the lengths we travel…All of us with wings…All of us with wings…All of us with wings!All of us with wings!All of us with wings!All of us with wings!Erotic Jesus lays with his MarysLoves his MarysBits of puzzle, fitting each otherAll of us with wings!“Oh my Marys!Never wonder…Night is shelter from nudity’s shiver…”All of us with wings…
