Aug 08, 2013 Jane’s Addiction By Mike Hilleary

This week Jane’s Addiction is set to embark on a five-week tour as part of the Uproar Festival alongside the likes of Alice in Chains, Coheed and Cambria, and others. Helping to entice their fanbase the veteran rock band will perform a brand new song titled, “Another Soulmate.” “Being that we have a tour, I’m really happy that we have a good song that will serve as our calling card when we hit various cities,” says frontman Perry Farrell in an interview with Rolling Stone. “Jane’s is kind of known for long songs; being this is a one-song single, I thought it’d be interesting to try and write a Beatles-esque short song that would be fast and furious and it would just be fun, dig it and move on, short attention span.”

Farrell goes on to explain the song is inspired by true events. “Etty [Lau Farrell, Perry’s wife] had a girlfriend and this girlfriend, as all people do, really wanted a mate, and I think she shortchanged herself an awful lot in life,” Farrell says. “She’s a good-looking woman, she had a career, but when it came to love and romance, she sold herself short all the time and she would reach out to guys that we would scratch our head like, ‘What is she doing with this guy?’ She said, ‘I feel like he’s my soul mate.’ Any time she’d meet a guy she’d say, ‘I feel like he’s my soul mate.’ So I wrote this song.”
