The previously mentioned "Height Down" and "Well, I've Been" were recorded in spring 1993 at Frusciante's former home. "Life's A Bath" was recorded in late 1993 while Frusciante was living in a rental home after his former house was damaged in a fire.
Both songs were supposed to be released on Niandra LaDes and Usually Just a T-Shirt, but were pulled by request of Phoenix's family after Phoenix's death. Īctor River Phoenix, a good friend of Frusciante and the rest of the Chili Peppers, is featured on two tracks, "Height Down" (originally titled "Soul Removal"), and "Well I've Been" (originally titled "Bought Her Soul"). That's why it's been difficult for me to adjust to being alive at all. I'm much more concerned with my fame in their world than with my fame in this one. The spirits give you ideas for things, and what's important to them is what's important to me. The title song was a very intense moment, because I was having verbal communication with the spirits while I was recording and I started crying at the end of it. In a 1997 interview with Guitar Player, Frusciante claimed to have maintained active communication with the spirit world during the album's recording phase:
One of the earliest songs to be recorded is A Fall Thru the Ground, which was recorded in 1988. Many songs from Smile from the Streets You Hold were recorded when Frusciante was still with the Chili Peppers and are from the same period as his previous solo album, Niandra Lades and Usually Just a T-Shirt.
