Jane’s Addiction Returns with New Song “True Love” After On-Stage Rift
The reunited classic lineup of Jane’s Addiction, consisting of Perry Farrell, Dave Navarro, Chris Chaney, and Stephen Perkins, has released a new song called “True Love”, their second 2024 release and their first since imploding on stage and canceling their reunion tour.
About the Song
“True Love” arrives roughly two months after the raucous “Imminent Redemption.” It’s a wistful, melancholy track anchored by clean guitars and soft drums. The lyrics, written by Perry Farrell, feature the singer pondering true love, nostalgia, and the passing of time:
“When I first felt true love, I was very young / I tried to describe it to my friends
You’re floating in something that’s way over your head / Wading in the waters of true love”
The song marks a return for the iconic rock band after a tumultuous period.
Controversy and Apologies
Less than a week ago, an incident unfolded during Jane’s Addiction’s show in Boston, where Perry Farrell punched and shoved guitarist Dave Navarro during the performance. Farrell was escorted off the stage, and the rest of the reunion tour was subsequently canceled, followed by a hiatus announcement.
As a response to the incidents, both Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro have since issued apologetic statements to fans, tourmates, and each other, acknowledging their actions and actions’ repercussions.
Dave Navarro Reflects on the Situation
Dave Navarro addressed the situation via Instagram:
“I was re-reading Whitman’s Leaves of Grass and it occurred to me that there is a strong parallel between his work and that of our own. The leaves represent the cycle of life and death, yet he continued to work on the body of poems until his own death in 1892. Perhaps he, like us, was unable to fully understand his own work as he continuously tried to re-write, add and expand upon it, willing away his own work’s cycle of life…
Perhaps it’s simpler to recognize when something is gone and learn from the magical lesson of grief rather than avoid it and remain in a consistent state of dissatisfaction.”
Conclusion:
The re-release of “True Love” after the recent tensions and rifts within Jane’s Addiction serves as a testament to the band’s enduring dedication to their art. Although the band will take some time to sort out the issues that unfolded, “True Love” marks an important step toward healing, growth, and possibly the band’s revitalization.
