This signed sheet music is for Jane Says by Jane’s Addiction, autographed by frontman Perry Farrell. Originally released in 1987 on the band’s self-titled live album and later re-recorded for their 1988 studio breakthrough Nothing’s Shocking, Jane Says quickly became Jane’s Addiction’s signature song. Built around a simple two-chord acoustic progression, steel drum accents, and Farrell’s raw, emotional vocal delivery, the track is both haunting and intimate. Its lyrics tell the story of Jane Bainter, a woman struggling with addiction and abusive relationships, making the song deeply personal and emblematic of the band’s ability to blend vulnerability with alternative rock edge. Over the years, Jane Says became a staple of alternative radio, reaching number 6 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and remaining a fan-favorite in live performances. Perry Farrell (born 1959) is one of alternative rock’s most visionary figures. As the founder and lead singer of Jane’s Addiction, he helped define the late-1980s and early-1990s alternative music movement. Beyond Jane’s Addiction, Farrell created the influential Lollapalooza festival, which began as a farewell tour for the band in 1991 and went on to transform the festival landscape. Known for his distinctive voice, theatrical stage presence, and role in bridging underground art-rock with mainstream audiences, Farrell remains a pioneering force in modern rock. Owning this signed sheet music for Jane Says is more than a collectible—it’s a piece of alternative rock history tied to one of the songs that defined a generation.
