John Frusciante
Dying Song
The Brown Bunny OST
Written for Vincent Gallo's The Brown Bunny soundtrack, "Dying Song" is considered a somewhat rare and unconventional Frusciante track amongst the vast plethora of his "obsessive post-smack" recordings.
Firstly, the lyrics are for once quite personal and not the inane ramblings from a toothless crevice situated in the face of a man who released two solo albums purely to earn pocket money for more brown sugar.
Bizarrely, the song itself is produced terribly and yet fantastically. Riddled with a Lo-Fi 8-track hiss throughout, this song shakes with reverberated loveliness and haunted electronic tones where it finally leads into a crescendo of multi-layered vocals. Beautiful, honest music.
Not sure if this IS my all time favorite song, however it WAS for a long, long time and hence why I'm giving it this spot.
