Jane's Addiction - Kettle Whistle Lyrics






What makes a kettle whistle?
What makes gold precious?
How come some people, they'll show you everything?
How come some people, they don't like nothing at all?
Well I know why...
We all want to be
Beautiful too...
Beautiful too...
What makes a baby cry?
What makes a poor baby older than a rich one?
And why do we need to belong to someone else...
Well I know why...
We all want to be...
Beautiful too...
Beautiful too...

  70. w.... I....

    perfection is found under the third bench on the northwest corner of 7th and b

    w.... I....

    East village early 90s

  71. w.... I....

    you lost ur way out of tower records, should have made a right on 4th, towards the east village

  72. u.... ....

    bet you wish you were someone else. . ( in being most certain as all do).

  73. I.... N....

    first time i heard this was in the desert in El Quesir in Egypt on my iPod. It was Ramadan and i went for a walk in the desert in 45 degrees celcius.

    The shops in the next village were closed for Ramadan so i couldnt get any water.

    I nearly died. Was great. I also listened to The Ecstacy of Gold, my Morricone :D

  74. T.... L....

    This song is everything. The percussion, synth pad(s) and bass play so well together.

  75. K.... l....

    "Beautiful Music"

  76. s.... 4....

    That bass is just...

  77. y.... g....

    we all want to be beautiful too!

  78. B.... ....

    Tell me Perry isn't saying John Bonham over and over at the beginning.

    B.... ....

    I do think you are high, sir. Hear what ye will!

    B.... ....

    @Brian Freeman Listen over a few times at 35 seconds really loud.

    B.... ....

    @Brian Freeman But yeah man, i'm usually pretty high. That's beside the point. Listen very hard.

  79. R.... ....

    this song sounds like heroin

  80. l.... ....

    ,Kettle Whistle = wakey, wakey _____ . . .

  81. l.... ....

    Kettle Whistle = wakey, wakey _____

  82. S.... �....

    Heard it in Abandon.

  83. L.... ....

    One of the JA's most amazing songs. Atmosphere & trance.

    L.... ....

    Agreed. This song takes you on a musical journey.

  84. �.... ....

    I think TOOL got some vibe from Jane's addiction

    �.... ....

    寒蝉王, never thought about that, great point. They're definitely on the same frequency, good vibes all around.❤

    �.... ....

    寒蝉王 alot of bands and artists alike got inspiration from janes addictions

    �.... ....

    Who hasn't gotten a vibe from Jane's Addiction. :)

    �.... ....

    You can definitely hear on the metal part of Jane's Addiction and in some of the psychedelic sound. Tool just took one step further into progressive metal.

    �.... ....

    there's no doubt Tool was influenced by Jane's both musically and lyrically

  85. d.... ....

    I heard this album the first time I took LSD. We kept playing it over and over. Almost 20 years later and it still brings me right back. Sepultura's "Roots" was the other album that night.

    d.... ....

    dickrobot, interesting mashup...

    d.... ....

    This is a perfect trip song. If you are goin' too hard, this'll put you right.

    We ALL want to be beautiful too. :)

  86. P.... S....

    I bought this when it came out and was thrilled to hear the 4 new songs, 2 are re-recorded version of old songs, and this and "So What"? were the new ones. And they are AMAZING.

    P.... S....

    Jane's used to play this song live in 1986. It was on the shelf for years.

  87. l.... ....

    kettle kixxxxASS

  88. G.... C....

    I heard this song in a HBO documentary .
    Witness : Libya
    That sound is too much and combines in a spectacular way in doc.

  89. D.... M....

    This song is perfection to me, although I'm not crazy about the loud, jarring guitar in this twice. Anyone got any other song recommendations similar to this? I need more of this mystic music in my life! <3

    D.... M....

    Get Sheila Chandra "Roots and Wings". Get it now.

    D.... M....

    Hindu music is psychedelic as fuck! That's why I found it some enchanting. Well, some of my uncles and aunts, bunch of hippies from the 60's love Hindu music as well as Psychedelic Rock. That's where I got my taste for both. Trippy as hell!

    D.... M....

    I love the guitar- Go Dave!

    D.... M....

    There is much to be found, and your efforts will be well rewarded. There are so many bands to recommend. A mellow band with the mystic vibes and kindness, we used to see Sky Cries Mary, up in Seattle. I listened to them while way into Jane's. But there are so many, it's difficult to say what you will enjoy as much as another.

    D.... M....

    Three Days from their Ritual album...same kind.of vibe. Even better IMO.

  90. D.... L....

    mystic as hell.....creates a fertile environment of innocence, simplicity, hope and the subtle feeling that life is a long feast. As simple as a snake slithering thru any jungle and noting thoughtful observation after observation. With Jane's~ the beauty is ~the snake isn't scary.

  91. H.... 8....

    inner soul at peace and it feels gnarley

  92. a.... ....

    Gah.....the way the song changes up around 3:00 is just....gorgeous. They were such a trippy band back in the day. I still think they've made some incredibly music in the past 10 years....but the early stuff just has a magic to it that's hard to describe. It had this mystical psychedelic sensual vibe that is like honey to my ears. Perry was(and still is) such a ridiculously unique and creative human being.

    a.... ....

    +avedic So sad that the Avery reunion crashed and burned. Perry is a clown. Just look at I like them Big.

  93. S.... N....

    Flea bass. Nuff said. The intros amazing

    S.... N....

    and horns...

  94. B.... ....

    this should have many more views, its such an incredible piece of music

    B.... ....

    There's a lot of different "vids" on here of the same song.

     But i totally agree. I LOVE this song! 

    B.... ....

    The sound and the mix isn't as good on here as on another one. ;)

  95. o.... ....

    weed indeed

    o.... ....

    @ondaclouds absolutely :)

  96. J.... ....

    I remember snowshoing to this song, snow day from school and high as a kite :D VIVID memory of my youth.

  97. J.... D....

    best scene of that film :))

  98. R.... M....

    i have physically bought this album 4 times. someone always steals it

    R.... M....

    too funny

    R.... M....

    You mean nobody's ever been CAUGHT stealing?

    R.... M....

    their debut live album on Triple X was stolen from me many times - cassettes even. didn't mind. glad to turn people into Jane's...

    R.... M....

    I have bought 3 copies of Ritual De Lo Habitual and they would disappear from time to time. I used to get Korn CDs like crazy. Like an unasked exchange of sorts! I also bought Siamese Dream four or five times. Just got it again, and it is already "missing". But every time one disappears, another one shows itself. "Is it Luck?"- Primus
    It is luck I saw Primus 4 times. They do not play Wynona, ever. The anti pop, I guess...

    R.... M....

    At least your family and friends have good taste in music...
