The Past Recedes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Past Recedes" is a song by John Frusciante of Red Hot Chili Peppers. The song is from Frusciante's 2005 solo album Curtains and had a video filmed in late 2004.

This song, along with the rest of the album was recorded at his Hollywood Hills home. His home is seen in the music video to this song. The upright bass is played by Ken Wild. The solo in the recording is played on his 12 string acoustic, but the filmmakers did not want him to change guitars in the middle of the video. The time signature of the song is diffrent from a regular straight 4/4 note feel. This song is played in a 7/4 odd time signature.
