"Thank you for the lessons that I learned while John was sleeping" I love this man so much. I've always loved his lyrics but sometimes they just hit that spot. this line just does it for me.
When I first listened to the Japanese version of The Empyrean, as always with headphones in the dark, I had to turn on the light directly after this line and could hardly fall asleep afterwards. That's how extreme this line flashed me. Insane.
Can I ask what it meant to you? At first I thought he was talking about himself, but he makes a lot of religious allusions throughout the album, now I’m thinking maybe it has something to do with John the Apostle and the book of Revelations
what i've noticed from listening to john is that the relation his fans feel to his music isn't because of his lyrics (for the most part) but it's created by the emotion & soul he delivers with his music....and we all obviously have emotion .lol
i think the the people who like this song are the only ones who listen to it. Because he lets his fans reach out to him instead of him reaching out to the fans.
all the songs from this magnificent album are PURE MASTERPIECES... not only this song, or One More of Me, or Unreachable or others. Every song from this album has it's own soul... For me it's like John is Jesus and God was steering his hands to make such fantastic piece of art. Long Live mr Frusciante, save us with your music from this cheap music world of Gaga, Bieber and other "Pop Stars"
"We're putting the law back in your hands", means that you are by yourself again. "We're setting our sights for a new land" He's moving for a "new place".
This is pretty damn good, I can see why he left it out though. It's not the best, and lyrically it doesn't really fit into the album. He was trying to very much create a clear story...anyone interested should check his site, he's written some awesome stuff.
Are we really Firstname Lastname? If so, what were we before we were given a name? Are we really our appearance and our habits? If so, what were we before we developed habits? Before we were born? When we were a single cell, or maybe even before that? When do "we" come in to the picture of Firstname Lastname?
Hey, wow... that wasn't a cheap shot at Frusciante. I love all of his music with all my musical heart. i was just saying that im surprised his record company hasn't removed the tracks from The Empyrean yet, like they've removed all his other albums.
this song is about my looking into my heart and talking to him in his sleep. and god was telling me look man hes just a man, no different than you, yo uare at least as powerful as him yo ucan do anything, and he looked directly at me like i was in his dreams, look at the the end he talks about it
Frush's solo work needs to be looked at in a different light to his writing in RHCP, it's has a stronger freeflowing feeling rather than the forced stadium anthems he writes in the band. It's not just music for music's sake.
@NotGoodEnough4Anyone Indeed, my friend, you're right in 100%, true artist can be heroes for many ppl only for being themselves and doing what they love, they don't have to be commercialized, and indeed, it's true work of art.
i think that is because it is a bonus track that was only available on the japanese version of this album. just gonna leave this here in case this is still a question after 5 months hahaha
There's one part of the lyrics I can't really get the meaning out of..."Thank you for the lessons I learned while John was sleeping"...Has anybody a thought on that one?
@wolboatpo hilarious...maybe if you did a little more research youd find out that you can only buy this bonus track in japan so stop trying to be funny

I know it is pretty randomly asking but does anybody know of a good site to watch new tv shows online ?
@Lorenzo Carmelo Flixportal xD
@Finnley Johnny thanks, I went there and it seems to work :) I really appreciate it !!
@Lorenzo Carmelo no problem :)

I am divorced from the image I've created, so many nights and days that are separate from the ages... these lyrics are amazing!
Josh klinghoffer is such a good drummer aswell
Che pezzo ragazzi!!! Un po' progressive. Ti spacca in due.
Adoro la comunicazione musicale di John, sa entrarti dentro. ❤️

frusciante magic

john frusciante....mmm...only word.....ARTIST.....

This song and mascera are never loud enough
What a song!!
Arte.......no hay duda.......
!We're putting the law back in your hands
Today we're setting our sights for a new land" what it means?
"We're putting the law back in your hands", means that you are by yourself again. "We're setting our sights for a new land" He's moving for a "new place".
think about it
José Leonardo Albarrán Arias To be rather annoying but it can have several different meanings depending on the reader/listener.
+Véras I think he's teaching through his songs, rather than just singing for the sake of it.
It's very difficult to say an specific meaning to John's songs but this one seems to be about the Higher self or the soul
okay...I listened to the song quite a lot...and I think I got now what it means
i got news for you: No one cares
I really had think, this music is just my delirium lol, this is pure art
Such a good song

it %100 fits the concept of the album i have no idea why it didnt make it

I so agree. :)
For future reference it's question*, rational*, and analysis*. Unless you misspelled them on purpose. Regardless, I agree with your point.
Just discovered this track today. Sounds really Stadium Arcadium like. But better. Great song.
Frush's solo work needs to be looked at in a different light to his writing in RHCP, it's has a stronger freeflowing feeling rather than the forced stadium anthems he writes in the band.
It's not just music for music's sake.
Damn didn´t know about these two songs. Too good to be a b-side :O
he realised something during a dream. he took it as a lesson. he awoke and referd to himself in 3rd person.
on which basis? please answer im really interested. to me is one of the best guitarists in history, but what would i know about music.
nothing probably

I'm surprised that these videos havnt been disbled yet
Johns music almost makes me excited for death
there is no way this would have made the album. listen.
Can anyone tell me why I do not have this song on Spotify? - Alguém sabe me dizer porque não tem essa música no Spotify?
i think that is because it is a bonus track that was only available on the japanese version of this album.
just gonna leave this here in case this is still a question after 5 months hahaha
@@naruto00nix that's weird cause ah yom was also an bonus track and is available in Spotify. :(
@@lukabanovic2937 oh ok guess i was wrong then. no idea why today is not on spotify. its a great song :D
There's one part of the lyrics I can't really get the meaning out of..."Thank you for the lessons I learned while John was sleeping"...Has anybody a thought on that one?
I understand that as a reference from the days when he was on drugs. he was "sleeping" because he was not living as well
I think he’s referring to an “ego death” of sorts
shoulda made album....
tutangamon
his music it´s a cuestion of feelings, not a cuestion of racional analisis....you are out of focus
wheres the 1080??
how can i buy this song?
God...why cant this be on the american version??
That's completely backwards.
@guitarnerd1995 with money
@wolboatpo hilarious...maybe if you did a little more research youd find out that you can only buy this bonus track in japan so stop trying to be funny
not really
2 people here cannot relate to music whatsoever
john frusciante is the most overrated singer/musician i've ever heard
Underrated you mean?
