Sometimes I sit down and listen to this. In peace. I listen to every word and it slowly takes over my mind and body. And I think about all the what ifs in my life. My last what if is what if I were gone. And then I think about my daughter. I never want her to feel like how I feel. I don’t want her to feel the pain that I sometimes do.
For me, this is THE RHCP song. It proudly showcases the entire band and has such a timeless groove it could appear on ANY of their albums and dominate. Such a gem.
This song alone will classify them as legends. This is their signature sound, vibe, groove, melody, etc. RHCP best song! Yes they have even better songs in musical value, but in personal connection, this one is the closest and deepest to me, it feels like these 4 musicians are giving me a group hug, best feeling when im at my worse state of mind😌😭😌😌❤️❤️❤️❤️.
It has a sound similar to Californiacation. Before john getting sober.. imagine if One Hot Minute to he ad John Frusciante was on it would be unbelievable
Well... A ton of older people who are in there 50 and 60s now really love this group and they are more known for all types of other songs. This happens to be my favorite and is in my opinion the (prettiest/best) bass line ever. For instance Scar Tissue is a song with all of those attributes as well
This song heals. The next time you're feeling emotional distress, listen to this song and sing along. Music is medicine, and this song is prescription strength.
The messages they conveyed through their lyrics, music and videos is incredible. It's one of those songs that you hear when you're younger,but fully understand once you get older.
My husband struggled with mental health and addiction and he lost his battle 6-25-2023 before he passed he kept listening to this song and sending it to his friends and family…the day of his service we played this song and it was almost like the room finally understood what he was trying to say. RIP DMB 💔2gether4eva
I'm so sorry. I struggle with mental health issues and listening to this song helps a little. I may never find my peace of mind, but it gives me brief moments of respite. Take care of yourself.
At the time between this song and under the bridge I thought the chili's were woosing out... but I enjoy both songs now. But teenage me wanted the heavier funk rock back then.
That "YEAH" right before the solo is the most cathartic, soul cleansing, inner self shocking sound/cry I've heard in my entire life. Oddly serene, raw, yet devastating. It breaks me down, tears me apart and brings me to tears every time. Just riveting.
I’m a black man from the south side of Chicago. I remember when my parents moved us out of the city when I was 12 years old, this was the first rock band I heard when we moved to the suburbs. Been listening to them ever since.
Growing up my brother and his friends would listen to this music and I hated it but I heard nutshell by alice in chains few years ago and that's all it took for me
I'm not used to comment on youtube but this song means too much for me. I've been struggling against anorexia and bulimia for nine years now and in those empty days, fighting against food, this song is one of the few sparkles of beauty and life I got. It can always comfort me in my loneliness. Thanks RHCP, you're like friends to me 🧡
You can make it. I know it sounds so cliquish but I KNOW YOU CAN MAKE IT!! You were brave enough to share your story so that is a big step in my eyes. I will be praying for you.
You have to be alive to be beautyfull, for someone in this World, beautyfull like this People, like Anthony... It us your Choise.. DO YOU WANT TO FEED!! FEAR OR HOPE?? What do you want to give this World and People! Sray strong WHATEVER happens, don't be a BABY.. You are not weak, yust if you want to be weak.. Think about, when you listen to this Musik, you are responsible for what you,, FEED,, the World! God bless you!
This song isn’t just iconic , it’s scared, from the moment it came out - I was in 8th grade…I was doing 8th grade things….no words can express. It’s just, perfect.
This song brings me back and makes me think of rainy 90’s days in front of the tv with this song playing on mtv and homework, long before social media, cell phones were a thing. Good , simple times.
That is John John Hayden sitting on the top of the old truck with Chad Smith, he was a very short guy. He passed away years ago from health problems because of his small size. We both went to the same elementary school circa 1972, in Glendale, CA. and we both ended up working for the Red Hot Chili Peppers in the late 80's-early 90's. He's loved and missed by all. John John Hayden God Speed to you.
0:40 Thank you very much for sharing this with us ❤. RHCP has been my fav band since I was a child and I’m 37 now. It’s hard to explain how much they really mean to me. This being said, I have watched this video thousands of times and I’m so glad to know about some of the amazing people in this video! What a beautiful moment in time! Rest easy John John❤
Had this played at my life partner of ten years funeral in July. He died of cancer unfortunately, but he went quickly rather than slowly which in some ways is a blessing. He loved RHCP so much and saw them at Hyde Park with John many many years ago (without me) and we saw them together with John at the Emirates Grounds, Manchester together and it was magical. I’m glad we got to share that together. His sister chose this song to played as the reflection music during his funeral and I thought it was a truly beautiful choice. I miss you so bad, Daniel. Take me to the river, let me to your shore. Well, I’ll be coming back baby, I’ll be coming back for more. ❤ see you someday my lovely man.
This bass line is so soulful, the whole song's got soul. The song sounds a bit like a child of that era, but it doesn't feel dated. So good! The chorus... Goosebumps!
I used to take all rock music for granted. My dad showed me rock music and I was always just like “ cool, music “. Now I really listen and with rhcp it has helped me in so many ways I can’t even say. When I was younger I loved under the bridge and I was just like good song cool but now i listen to there music ALL OF IT and love every second
Same bro! I was looking for something different from what im used to listening to a few months back and discovered how good Stadium Arcadium was ever since I've been in a RHCP binge to include buying the book Scar Tissue and I couldn't put the book down!
“The” song that never fails to uplift me and appreciate life. Whatever anyone is going through, breath and appreciate yourself. Life is about living not dying.
Ohh the 90's.....when MTV still played awesome creative videos and alternative music reigned supreme...those were the days!!! last period of time with original music and sound imo
+SWWonders I personally think there's more good music being made right now than ever! Of course it CAN'T be totally innovative in the same way caused by certain social explosions that were going on all the hell all over the place in certain times -people like the Beatles & Jimi Hendrix were great musicians and they stayed OPEN to change, but: it was pretty much accidental - and LUCKY - that they wandered into about four or five HUGE social upheavals, and they were good enough to plug into them. The weird part about FINDING the good stuff is first, you have to turn off your television and throw the radio into the bathtub - it's EXACTLY backwards of the old way. It really IS about recommendations, and digging through a whole lot of hay to get to the needle, IYKWIM.
LetThereBeLoud That's where I'd disagree, at least for know. It seems to me that there are still a few creaky old execs at the big record companies who're still waiting for "the good old days" to come back, and they think they can HELP that by fucking with all the people who are maneuvering OUTSIDE of their rules. You look at somebody like Joe Bonamassa, who couldn't care LESS about a "big record contract" but he's doing O.K. Because he won't sit, fetch and heel on command, it's VERY unlikely he'll place any songs into big Hollywood movies, win too many Grammys (no matter how LITTLE competition in the Blues category!) Even IF and WHEN the big companies realize they're just going to die if they don't pick up independent artists, they HATE not being in charge. Axl Rose must've been laughing his ass off at 'em.
I was in my first year of recovery from substance abuse when this song first came out. It felt as if Anthony had crawled inside my head and taken a look around. It became a theme song for my recovery (as I was sure of at the time, it was written during a period when Anthony was also in early recovery; evidently his plane had to bounce a few times before it landed). My own band had broken up not long before and I didn't know if I'd ever have another (I did!). 33 years later I haven't gotten loaded, a day at a time. Since I'm the same age as the boys in the band, that's half my life. And I owe it in part to Anthony showing his soul at that time. The song was a comfort to me when I really needed it.
This song has always "spoken" to me. Incredible musically, but have never followed the band so closely that I know their "ills" I know mine, and I appreciate what their music stirs in me.
My special needs child loves this song. He can’t talk or say a word. He is 11 but with this song he finds ways to communicate he wants it. He will not get out of the car before school until after I play this song. Today he was sitting and waiting for it and when it came on he started fist pumping. It’s awesome what RHCP’s music has done to help my child. I wonder if he understands the words and he can relate.
Black Summer came out and I had to go back through the catalogue... these guys have literally followed me from childhood, to adolescence, to adulthood. Watching this band grow from their inception has been a wonder. Truly the one of the few bands that has a song dedicated to a range of events that have occurred in my life. From happy to sad to everything in between. The soundtrack of my life is incomplete without them! lol
Literally the first band I remember hearing at 6 years old when I sat and listened to Under the Bridge and subsequently all of Blood Sugar Sex Magik for the first time. To this day I’ve never forgotten that moment . And like you said they’ve been with me at every stage of my journey through life ever since-some of the most awful and joyous times. Such a blessing that they’re still making beautiful music.
Watching this and listening at 1:58 AM on Saturday Jan 11 25. Live TV broadcast from LA. Those lyrics take on an even deeper meaning if that was even possible… tearing up. Sending all my love to all California communities
Wow I'm listening to this for the first time since I was 18. I had become homeless & addicted to opiates I didn't know if I had a future or what to do. My family & I had to come together and all get sober. I remember listening to this one of the last times I did drugs & now listening to it makes me realize everything is going to be okay. I'm 23 and have a great career in the healthcare field & 4 years sober. No matter how shitty things are right now, it will always change. Idk if anyone will even see this but don't give up Edit:wow thank you for all the comments. Don't give up!! We're in this together ❤️
I was 12 when this song came out...my life was a horrific mess because of the adults around me...I became an addict later on in life and have been sober 15 years...it’s a struggle but the reward is so sweet ❤️ you keep moving forward and make those difficult but necessary decisions to keep yourself sober❤️
I used a lot of drugs. my home was any bridge in the city. But thanks to my good music and the desire I have to live life. I am enjoying this planet to the fullest. Greetings from Guadalajara Mexico let's move on, nothing behind.
@@krystle9508 it's so nice to hear that it's been 15 years! Good job! Sometimes I feel like it's the first day all over again but everyday sober is a better day than before. Thank you for sharing your story and best wishes for the future
@@neurosis1100 I'm glad you're sober and living life to the fullest. Best wishes from midwest America & hope for better days when this pandemic ends. Be safe
sometimes i wish i could go back to 93. i remember seeing this video in regular rotation on MTV, along with all the other awesome tunes of that time. Life was less stressful before the internet, cell phones, social media. this song reminds me of those peaceful, simpler times. also RIP Chris Farley.
Ikr i wasnt apart of that time but my dad has told me stories about when he was young and i wish i could have been apart of that time, great music, no social media, not a care in the world.
Absolutely. I miss those days when you had to be patient and wait for someone to come home and listen to your message before they got back to you. And I miss the days before insane people ruled with a mob mentality and everyone was always a target for any reason at any time.
This was my first girlfriends favorite song, she always felt so close to the line “I’ve got a bad disease, up from my brain is where I bleed” I never understood the relevance. She passed away from ALS in 2020 and now I understand more than ever. Rip Beverly
Whenever I deal with depression or really shitty anxiety, this song puts me in a significantly better mood. The lyrics feel like everything I’m thinking. But the song sounds so laid back. It makes me feel like everything will be alright, and for a moment, I really believe I’ll reach that peace of mind some day.
I dedicate this song to my best friend and his sister who died last month 2 days apart in the same road, he was a huge RHCP fan and could sing the part at 3:40 so well he sounded like Anthony Kiedis..yesterday we put this song and did their celebration of life then we walked with a bunch of balloons to the road where they got hit to release them and we all just looked like a bunch of clowns screaming in the air, it was beautiful....Rest In Peace Brother, Matthew Jones & Mardelle Jones.🙏🕯
Is it just me or every time a song by the RHCP automatically puts you is a certain type of good nostalgic mood.. they are amazing and relevant and no matter how old or new the song is so many can relate to them. True artists.
I love this song 🎵 ❤️ it helps anyone who is battling drug addiction or mental health issues. This song will help you find the strength and courage you need to pull yourself out of what you are dealing with. Music helps you find your peace of mind. We all need that. Ty Anthony and the Red Hot Chili Peppers 🌶 for your deep and healing and inspirational music. You really know how to reach the people who are hurting, God Bless You all. Music is truly healing therapy. 💕
When I first heard this at 7 years old it was instantly my favorite RHCP song. 32 years later at almost 39 years old it remains my favorite. Timeless song and nostalgic video. Miss the 90's.
Such a unique connection to this song. It makes be think about accepting and loving yourself despite feeling impossibly alone unable to connect with anyone.
Imagine worldwide gathering of people who love and found rhcp song have deep meaning for their life, through life struggle, pain and loss, and life test. This song is precious .
This song is my soul right here and it makes me feel that emotions that I never thought possible are indeed possible. Love this band. Love you guys. Unlimited love!
I’ve struggled with depression since I was too young to even understand, but I really felt this song growing up. Tried so many different ways of handling my “bad disease” some more self destructive than others. I’m microdosing now and feel like “today love is smiling on me”. I don’t know if it will help to finally chase my demons away or this is just the rollercoaster I will always have to ride, and do my best to figure out. One day I will find peace of mind so I can be more open to love. Wishing peace love health hope for all on this journey. ❤️
One of my all time favorites… I always play this song to calm me down a bit when my mind travels into that damned dark place I frequent periodically… god bless you guys
This song is like a time machine, every time i hear it I'm taken back to the early/mid 90's, riding my bike around in the summer. What an amazing song.
demondescent 'lesser' individuals who enjoyed the bass more would take that personally, greater individuals will prefer any part that catches their attention
better than a therapy session. Maybe the best song of RHCP! I really love this music That bass line. Best Chili Peppers song ever. Favourite Peppers-Song. Flea rocks the bass!
It's one of my favorite RHCP songs and always moves me to tears when I hear. Also, I love this iconic photo of these 2. Love the roller coaster ride they've given. Such an amazing band.
All the above are almost correct. Fire, beer, and the thoughts of the friends who used to sing their drunken hearts out. Still hear the voices, and still sing my drunken heart out.
Ya too bad my friends don't like rhcp because they are idiots and rather listen to garbage. Not many people appreciate rhcp like they should. Only the people that understand music care for them. There is reason u rarely see bands covering them. It's because they are outstanding musicians and it's hard as fuck to cover.
This is funny, because Mother's Milk came out in 1989. So if you're in your mid 60s you would have been in your 30s which would have been a perfectly reasonable age to listen to RHCP during their prime in the 90s.
met a trainhopper who was recovering n sed he met John at a random NA meeting in SoCal sumwhere n that john said " i wish i could love myself" lol ...i dont think the guys lying but i wonder if john would go to a twelvestep meeting i dont see it lol in anycase this song wouldnt exist w out heroin,i spose, so thats good..... but suffering from physical addiction is not. im a year sober n theres light at the end of the tunnel i promise . stayup
My only grandpa died today and I have this song on repeat thinking about my childhood with him the good and the bad I feel like a piece of me broke off 💔 R.I.P. Grandpa I will always be loved and missed
Starting to become one of my top 5 bands - didn't appreciate them at first blush (shows ya what I know about music) but now, I cant get enough of them. Spectacular music to say the least.
This song helped me with my battle with the bottle. It smoothed the soul. PTSD is for real. The price of freedom isn't free. To my service brother and sisters. Fight the good fight 💪
Hands down the greatest song they have ever made!!! The riffs, base lines, drums, lyrics, video and presentation are so on point its ridiculous. Much love and kudos from Muskegon Michigan to these legends.
This song described perfectly how sad I felt sometimes. And the feeling that you need some time alone with yourself just to continue. But like the songs states you will be back restored and fresh ☺️
sn pc cheer up buddy. I literally have a disease in which my brain bleeds from. I somehow contracted a 3rd world disease here, in a 1st world country. Stanford. 3 emergency brain surgeries. 8 months in hospital. Still have only 3% chance of living. Be happy! Things could be much much worse! And hug your loved ones! You never know when you might not be able to...
Sean Fitzgerald your both wrong its a lost song on blood suger sex magic on 1991 you can see him John record it in the studio from the funky monks video from that same year and released in 1993 in the cone heads movie soundtrack.
Powerful song-- after allowing myself to get my soul squeezed out of me for 15+ years, I finally woke up-- thank you God-- 3 years clean today and it's still one day at a time---
Wow, you're not kidding! Gonna tattoo on this on my arm so I'll always have these cherished words with me. I didn't know Anthony had these kinds of deep thoughts within him.
@@AndreaFauche lol I dont think he was critizicing the lyrics, he was just trying to be funny. By the way Ive heard those lyrics were unintentionally put there. You know how artists usually get the melody out there first and then fill it up with lyrics, thats what Anthony was doing first filling it up with random words but in the end they decide it to put it in the song.
I agree u can be driving down the road and on verge of tears, and this sing popping on out of the blue can change my attitude for the rest of the day. Takes me to a great place

It has a sound similar to Californiacation. Before john getting sober.. imagine if One Hot Minute to he ad John Frusciante was on it would be unbelievable
Lol why wasn't it on the bssm album? It's like their best song lol.
Well... A ton of older people who are in there 50 and 60s now really love this group and they are more known for all types of other songs.

When I first listened to this song, I experienced what you’re describing my friend.
WELL SAID
My anthem right now.
The messages they conveyed through their lyrics, music and videos is incredible. It's one of those songs that you hear when you're younger,but fully understand once you get older.

I'm so sorry. I struggle with mental health issues and listening to this song helps a little. I may never find my peace of mind, but it gives me brief moments of respite. Take care of yourself.
i know how it feels and im sorry you had to deal with that i hope you find your peace
What the fuck was he trying to say?!
On this day in 1993, the music video for “Soul To Squeeze” was released. Directed by Kevin Kerslake.
Another of RHCP's greatest songs!
I LOVE YOU ANTHONY!!!
Cool! :)
one of my favorite songs
At the time between this song and under the bridge I thought the chili's were woosing out... but I enjoy both songs now. But teenage me wanted the heavier funk rock back then.

how i miss those times without being as worried as nowadays...
@@Steve_912 very true. They were good days. It’s hard to realize just how good times are as we’re living them. It’s always hindsight it seems.
Back when MTV actually played music instead of reality bullshit.
It reminds me of eighth grade in 1992 when I used to watch rock blocks on MTV in the morning while waiting for the bus

The fact that Chris Farley is in this makes it even better. A true gem of a song that will last a lifetime.
Ok I thought that was him lol. I was like wait is that Chris Farley lol
Dude I've watched this video many many times and never even paid attention. I never noticed till I seen your post. That's crazy. I miss Chris Farley.
The legendary Chris Farley ❤
Farley is an angel and I can prove this

30yrs later, this song brings me so much closure. 13 vs 43, so much clarity.
Same here..same age

No doubt Brother, its been a weird ride
Had this played at my life partner of ten years funeral in July. He died of cancer unfortunately, but he went quickly rather than slowly which in some ways is a blessing. He loved RHCP so much and saw them at Hyde Park with John many many years ago (without me) and we saw them together with John at the Emirates Grounds, Manchester together and it was magical. I’m glad we got to share that together. His sister chose this song to played as the reflection music during his funeral and I thought it was a truly beautiful choice. I miss you so bad, Daniel.
Take me to the river, let me to your shore. Well, I’ll be coming back baby, I’ll be coming back for more. ❤ see you someday my lovely man.
That's beautiful.
Much love to you 💜

beautiful. What a beautiful message. I cried. life is all bout memorees. where we go we just dont know. just take it really slow!
Sending healing prayers 🙏🏼✌️
Till this day, still comforts my soul.
Same.
Brii Camdyn i think if everybody listens to the boys it will take their soul
Me too
and squeezes it?
Oh Ya!
This bass line is so soulful, the whole song's got soul. The song sounds a bit like a child of that era, but it doesn't feel dated. So good! The chorus... Goosebumps!
Fleeeaaaaaaa
i’m gonna be real, the opening guitar riff is pretty soulful
@@frost7724 I totally agree!
Feel the same, whenever ami feel lonely this song really a soul to squeeze
Flea is an "awesome" bassist!
The older i get, the more i appreciate their art.
Used to take them for granted.
Amen brutha! Didn’t appreciate them then but have been rediscovering their catalog.
I used to take all rock music for granted. My dad showed me rock music and I was always just like “ cool, music “. Now I really listen and with rhcp it has helped me in so many ways I can’t even say. When I was younger I loved under the bridge and I was just like good song cool but now i listen to there music ALL OF IT and love every second
Same bro! I was looking for something different from what im used to listening to a few months back and discovered how good Stadium Arcadium was ever since I've been in a RHCP binge to include buying the book Scar Tissue and I couldn't put the book down!
Lot of people still take them for granted
The 🌶 get better with age 😉
(AND JOHN IS BACK!!!!!)
“The” song that never fails to uplift me and appreciate life. Whatever anyone is going through, breath and appreciate yourself. Life is about living not dying.

+SWWonders Mainstream music, yeah, sadly. Hard to find the good stuff.

+SWWonders It's still there, just have to look. It's coming back to the mainstream, anyway. The big record companies just gotta pick up on it.
i wish i could remeber those times i was born i 2000
LetThereBeLoud
That's where I'd disagree, at least for know. It seems to me that there are still a few creaky old execs at the big record companies who're still waiting for "the good old days" to come back, and they think they can HELP that by fucking with all the people who are maneuvering OUTSIDE of their rules. You look at somebody like Joe Bonamassa, who couldn't care LESS about a "big record contract" but he's doing O.K. Because he won't sit, fetch and heel on command, it's VERY unlikely he'll place any songs into big Hollywood movies, win too many Grammys (no matter how LITTLE competition in the Blues category!) Even IF and WHEN the big companies realize they're just going to die if they don't pick up independent artists, they HATE not being in charge. Axl Rose must've been laughing his ass off at 'em.
I was in my first year of recovery from substance abuse when this song first came out. It felt as if Anthony had crawled inside my head and taken a look around. It became a theme song for my recovery (as I was sure of at the time, it was written during a period when Anthony was also in early recovery; evidently his plane had to bounce a few times before it landed). My own band had broken up not long before and I didn't know if I'd ever have another (I did!). 33 years later I haven't gotten loaded, a day at a time. Since I'm the same age as the boys in the band, that's half my life. And I owe it in part to Anthony showing his soul at that time. The song was a comfort to me when I really needed it.
Im around your age as well and going through it now, this song is helping as we speak. Thank you my friend
This song has always "spoken" to me. Incredible musically, but have never followed the band so closely that I know their "ills" I know mine, and I appreciate what their music stirs in me.
My special needs child loves this song. He can’t talk or say a word. He is 11 but with this song he finds ways to communicate he wants it. He will not get out of the car before school until after I play this song. Today he was sitting and waiting for it and when it came on he started fist pumping. It’s awesome what RHCP’s music has done to help my child. I wonder if he understands the words and he can relate.
I'm guessing life is challenging for you sometimes-know that U R one of the greatest humans currently living ...
This comment got me so much, I'm thankful to you for sharing this with us :') long live to the rhcp, love this song!!!!
I hope they read you
Thank you all so much!
Lies shut up
Black Summer came out and I had to go back through the catalogue... these guys have literally followed me from childhood, to adolescence, to adulthood. Watching this band grow from their inception has been a wonder. Truly the one of the few bands that has a song dedicated to a range of events that have occurred in my life. From happy to sad to everything in between. The soundtrack of my life is incomplete without them! lol
I love your comment so much I had to let you know with a comment! 💕
Literally the first band I remember hearing at 6 years old when I sat and listened to Under the Bridge and subsequently all of Blood Sugar Sex Magik for the first time. To this day I’ve never forgotten that moment . And like you said they’ve been with me at every stage of my journey through life ever since-some of the most awful and joyous times. Such a blessing that they’re still making beautiful music.
Me too 😊
My daughter has me listening to Dark Necessities and I love it ♥️♥️🥰
@@ktbaby5237 thanks so much💕 ☺️
This song is one of most beautifully written song that I've heard.
Couldn't agree more, John's guitar on this is so good! One of my all time favourites❤🎶
Amazing and I’ve never heard this song till now.
If Anthony keidis writes their songs he's a genius
@@ChrisGreen-we4mu yes he does
@@meckless And is overlooked as a songwriter in my opinion.
Watching this and listening at 1:58 AM on Saturday Jan 11 25. Live TV broadcast from LA. Those lyrics take on an even deeper meaning if that was even possible… tearing up. Sending all my love to all California communities
These guys are timeless. They have a ton of Soul and to be honest, their music will never get old. Our grandkids kids will rock out to this.
The Bass in this song hits like a punch to the soul and just reverberates through you.
Flea is just so talented
Wow I'm listening to this for the first time since I was 18. I had become homeless & addicted to opiates I didn't know if I had a future or what to do. My family & I had to come together and all get sober. I remember listening to this one of the last times I did drugs & now listening to it makes me realize everything is going to be okay. I'm 23 and have a great career in the healthcare field & 4 years sober. No matter how shitty things are right now, it will always change. Idk if anyone will even see this but don't give up
Edit:wow thank you for all the comments. Don't give up!! We're in this together ❤️
I was 12 when this song came out...my life was a horrific mess because of the adults around me...I became an addict later on in life and have been sober 15 years...it’s a struggle but the reward is so sweet ❤️ you keep moving forward and make those difficult but necessary decisions to keep yourself sober❤️
I used a lot of drugs. my home was any bridge in the city. But thanks to my good music and the desire I have to live life. I am enjoying this planet to the fullest. Greetings from Guadalajara Mexico let's move on, nothing behind.
@@krystle9508 it's so nice to hear that it's been 15 years! Good job! Sometimes I feel like it's the first day all over again but everyday sober is a better day than before. Thank you for sharing your story and best wishes for the future
@@neurosis1100 I'm glad you're sober and living life to the fullest. Best wishes from midwest America & hope for better days when this pandemic ends. Be safe
Well done.
Your comment gave me shivers.
I’m proud of you. 🙂
Is the boss man! With the cigar Chris Farley!! 😆 love it!
@@scottewens6277 Chris had one of the main roles in the movie Coneheads, whose soundtrack has "Soul To Squeeze" on it.
That bass line.
Ikr
Yes agreed love it
That BASS!
I don’t even really listen to rhcp and this popped into my brain. So good
Kind of reminds me of The Joker by the Steve Miller Band.
I'm turning 43 in a few days. This song means more to me now than it did when it came out.
happy birthday
how does it feel? grow old with music you love and as years passing thru has different meanings or strong emotions.
After fighting addiction for 20 years and being sober for the better part of 2 years, this song means more every time I hear it.
Happy Belated, my brother! Be 40 in March
@@paulhardy8245 well done on the 2 years. Hope many more to come for you!
i feel like this song is underrated, barely known compared to other songs. For me this is surely in top 5
rightttt
My number 1 is Venice Queen. That song is extremely powerful
'Minor thing' is one of my favorites
shkico My no.1
My top 5
1-Under the bridge
2-Soul to squeeze
3-Quixoticelixer
4-Sick love
5-Breaking the girl
But honestly, I love most of their songs
This song is very therapeutic
The older I get, the more I appreciate this song.
Right? I agree fully...
Right on!!
Addie this is the most accurate thing I've read in a while
sometimes i wish i could go back to 93. i remember seeing this video in regular rotation on MTV, along with all the other awesome tunes of that time. Life was less stressful before the internet, cell phones, social media. this song reminds me of those peaceful, simpler times. also RIP Chris Farley.
Ikr i wasnt apart of that time but my dad has told me stories about when he was young and i wish i could have been apart of that time, great music, no social media, not a care in the world.
It sure was less stressful and far more meaningful. It wasn't grotesque like today.
Absolutely. I miss those days when you had to be patient and wait for someone to come home and listen to your message before they got back to you. And I miss the days before insane people ruled with a mob mentality and everyone was always a target for any reason at any time.
@@oliveoil6417 same
Miss it all too! We were all better people then.
The bass is so strong in this song. Sounds so amazing whenever listening with earphones.
One of the coolest, most melodic bass lines ever.
@@rome8180 Right? When I lived in North Hollywood I used to play along on my roommates old P Bass late at night. I can still feel every note.
with speaker too
And JBL charge 4
Flea is a legend
This was my first girlfriends favorite song, she always felt so close to the line “I’ve got a bad disease, up from my brain is where I bleed” I never understood the relevance.
She passed away from ALS in 2020 and now I understand more than ever. Rip Beverly
Whenever I deal with depression or really shitty anxiety, this song puts me in a significantly better mood. The lyrics feel like everything I’m thinking. But the song sounds so laid back. It makes me feel like everything will be alright, and for a moment, I really believe I’ll reach that peace of mind some day.
Nice.
It helps me, too. Not sure I'll ever find that peace of mind, but the song helps.
I dedicate this song to my best friend and his sister who died last month 2 days apart in the same road, he was a huge RHCP fan and could sing the part at 3:40 so well he sounded like Anthony Kiedis..yesterday we put this song and did their celebration of life then we walked with a bunch of balloons to the road where they got hit to release them and we all just looked like a bunch of clowns screaming in the air, it was beautiful....Rest In Peace Brother, Matthew Jones & Mardelle Jones.🙏🕯
great song to drive home to after a long day from work
Van Damage how do
***** swimming and a day at the beach, always be leaving you hungry as fuck!
Oh and agree this song at the end of a long day, such a sweet feeling.
youngwarriorpopocaca always craved a pb sandwich after swimming
Van Damage Hell yeah, my exact situation a few days ago.
Is it just me or every time a song by the RHCP automatically puts you is a certain type of good nostalgic mood.. they are amazing and relevant and no matter how old or new the song is so many can relate to them. True artists.
111
Nope. Not just you
Their music is good for the soul. Doesn't matter your preferred genre.
@Mariana D'Amelio wtf
It's not just you
I love this song 🎵 ❤️ it helps anyone who is battling drug addiction or mental health issues. This song will help you find the strength and courage you need to pull yourself out of what you are dealing with. Music helps you find your peace of mind. We all need that. Ty Anthony and the Red Hot Chili Peppers 🌶 for your deep and healing and inspirational music. You really know how to reach the people who are hurting, God Bless You all. Music is truly healing therapy. 💕
one of the best Bass line ever
totally agree.
yeah I love the sound
i tend to say this about a lot of chilli pepper songs
Ironically I'm listening on my phone speaker and can hear no bass line 😂.
The bass solo blows me away every time
This classic has always hit to the core of me on many levels. Told my wife to rock this at my funeral if I go first!
I was thinking this would be the perfect song for mine too. Completely describes my life.
RHCPs ability to hit a range of human emotions is incredible. No surprise they are up there as one the goats.
When I first heard this at 7 years old it was instantly my favorite RHCP song.
32 years later at almost 39 years old it remains my favorite. Timeless song and nostalgic video. Miss the 90's.
.........Almost a 30 years song already. Sounds like HEAVEN!!
Wrong buddy this song was actually written in 1991 so it’s 32 years old
@@derpderp7940 He said "almost" so yeah, he´s actually right...
@@derpderp7940 Yeah! However, we feel the same way. :)
Such a unique connection to this song. It makes be think about accepting and loving yourself despite feeling impossibly alone unable to connect with anyone.
This song has often saved my soul.
Idem
no doubt about it ...
I feel the same way, it's description of addiction "I got a bad disease, but from my brain is where I bleed.
Indeed
and here we are :)
Imagine worldwide gathering of people who love and found rhcp song have deep meaning for their life, through life struggle, pain and loss, and life test. This song is precious .
This song is my soul right here and it makes me feel that emotions that I never thought possible are indeed possible. Love this band. Love you guys. Unlimited love!
Respect ✊
Summed it up perfectly. I saw them in London in June and I cried when they played this. Unlimited love ✌️
@@daniellenewman2536 Just saw them in Denver and they did it too!
@@LizardKing1324 hope to see them in TN 🤘🏽💚
I was homeless in California for a few years. This song has saved my life when I was sure I'd be dead by morning ❤❤❤
Ay man, glad you made it out!
TY for staying♡
What, did it fight off the opioid zombies with a chainsaw for you?
I've been on the streets in CA..the soulfulness in RHCP songs hit home
I'm on the streets here in New Mexico, but luckily have a 9-5 job though at least
I’ve struggled with depression since I was too young to even understand, but I really felt this song growing up. Tried so many different ways of handling my “bad disease” some more self destructive than others. I’m microdosing now and feel like “today love is smiling on me”. I don’t know if it will help to finally chase my demons away or this is just the rollercoaster I will always have to ride, and do my best to figure out. One day I will find peace of mind so I can be more open to love. Wishing peace love health hope for all on this journey. ❤️
Stay solid✊
Praying for you.
This song helps me to see the value in intimacy with others. RHCP is a band like no other.
This song always gives me goosebumps.
Anthony, Chad, Flea, John, I love you guys!
Same!! All of their songs give me goosebumps
One of my all time favorites… I always play this song to calm me down a bit when my mind travels into that damned dark place I frequent periodically… god bless you guys
Same here man. Same here. Good vibes to you, brother.
Me too Brother, this song has brought me back from a dark place many times..
Accurate as fuck!! I'm glad I'm not alone. 👍🏻👊🏻🤙🏻✌🏻
I can come back to this after however many years and it still brings tears to my eyes
The song I would like to hear the last day of my life ❤
This song is like a time machine, every time i hear it I'm taken back to the early/mid 90's, riding my bike around in the summer. What an amazing song.
Same! This and under the bridge take me back to my childhood home, running around the backyard until I was too tired to do anything else.
Indeed. I would wear out the batteries in my walkman and get to hear songs in super slow mo lol
If you know pain, the lyrics and melody hit the heart
YES mcflurry360 I know the lyrics I agree 👍 💯 PERCENT agree with you about this song unbelievable thanks Loretta wow
Unfortunately I know... ty...
And if you know the pain of addiction. This song hits.
2 weeks clean of opioids , such a rubbish drug if your in then your f'ing in
pain? yea she's a bad B*** ..you hit the nail on the head with that comment my friend.
This song reminds me it ain’t that bad to be lost in this world for alittle bit. Someone has it worse than you. So take it easy...
I needed to hear that....thank you
Smh, i be overseeing the beauty in this life, need to change that,
well said, bother
Sometimes being lost is the only way to find your way back.
🙌🏼
Man, loved when so much was put into a music video and they were released at the beginning of summer…always set the tone
This song is Timeless! Especially if you grew up in the 90s
John Frusciante's rhythm guitar on this song is as good as it gets....and so subtle in the mix ....I will never ever get enuff of it
Im pretty sure you meant to say flea's bass
Nah, I meant what I said....Flea's bass is nice , but only lesser individuals would let that distract from what's really dope in this song
demondescent 'lesser' individuals who enjoyed the bass more would take that personally, greater individuals will prefer any part that catches their attention
***** none of you poofs have noticed the drums. But the reason RHCP are awesome is that they tie all their shit together exquisitely.
bewmdogg good point, everyone talks about how good John was and how flea is an exquisite guitarist but Chad never gets mentioned
better than a therapy session.
Maybe the best song of RHCP! I really love this music
That bass line.
Best Chili Peppers song ever.
Favourite Peppers-Song. Flea rocks the bass!
Thanks dudes! Such a great production this. Great song, lyrics,
One of the most underrated RHCP songs ever.
What about knock me down
The laidback (much like this song) riff and to add to it the gospel singer angelic tones👌
Word 💯
Man comin home after school and catching this on MTV… a great time.
Me too, I want to go back so bad. As an adult I'm completely broken and it hurts so bad.

how? 10 years in and can't find a way out
Stick Figures got some pretty heavy ones

It's one of my favorite RHCP songs and always moves me to tears when I hear. Also, I love this iconic photo of these 2. Love the roller coaster ride they've given. Such an amazing band.
The most beautiful B-Side of all time.
Yellow Ledbetter
This is one of those songs that you hear around a camp fire with a beer in one hand and a bunch of great friends singing thier drunk hearts out ♥️
All the above are almost correct. Fire, beer, and the thoughts of the friends who used to sing their drunken hearts out. Still hear the voices, and still sing my drunken heart out.
yeah except im singing by myself
FOR SURE!! XO
Ya too bad my friends don't like rhcp because they are idiots and rather listen to garbage. Not many people appreciate rhcp like they should. Only the people that understand music care for them. There is reason u rarely see bands covering them. It's because they are outstanding musicians and it's hard as fuck to cover.
@Mariana D'Amelio I can definitely feel you on that imagine being a black guy from the hood liking these guys lol
Im in my mid 60's and a young person turned me onto RHCP in 2008 and I immediately fell in love been listening to them every since
My middle school teacher used to play them for us in 2007 and I've been a fan ever since.
YES JOHN SCRONCE IM 59 I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT UNBELIEVABLE AMAZING EXPERIENCE BRAVO 🎶 👏 WOW PEACE ✌️ OUT THANKS LORETTA
My daughter bought tickets and I went to see them on 9/1/22 in Charlotte, NC. I'm 62!
@@SuperRedSpaceCouchawesome teacher
This is funny, because Mother's Milk came out in 1989. So if you're in your mid 60s you would have been in your 30s which would have been a perfectly reasonable age to listen to RHCP during their prime in the 90s.
Flea's bass here is outstanding. There's no other word. Incredible song.
One of the best bands, songs, and videos ever. Their music helped me through breast cancer.🙌🏻❤️
Good for you!
This band has a healing power my expressive channel can only dream of ✨
Glad to still have you around listening to RHCP for a long long time to come!
My mother is going through it right now, God bless you 🙏✌️ Peace & Love
U are absolutely amazing 😂 Live strong and May God bless you 🙏
This song brings back memories of how great 90s music was. This and breaking the girl are 2 super overlooked classics from the peppers
The bassline took over the whole song lol
Recovering from Heroin addiction is hard. This song helps. Hope I can find my peace of mind like Anthony and John.
good lucky bro!
Pretty much all of the chilli peppers songs are about drug abuse and getting over it. The one you can tell it most in is otherside
@@stevendc6872 yeah man, same with Alice in Chains, but they had less of the getting over it part lol.
@@eocarlin4119 thanks bro
met a trainhopper who was recovering n sed he met John at a random NA meeting in SoCal sumwhere n that john said " i wish i could love myself" lol ...i dont think the guys lying but i wonder if john would go to a twelvestep meeting i dont see it lol
in anycase this song wouldnt exist w out heroin,i spose, so thats good.....
but suffering from physical addiction is not.
im a year sober n theres light at the end of the tunnel i promise .
stayup

+MrDjambronk Right, that threw me off 😂
My only grandpa died today and I have this song on repeat thinking about my childhood with him the good and the bad I feel like a piece of me broke off 💔 R.I.P. Grandpa I will always be loved and missed
Starting to become one of my top 5 bands - didn't appreciate them at first blush (shows ya what I know about music) but now, I cant get enough of them. Spectacular music to say the least.
🤟🏼❤️ music. Love and honesty and good beats.
This song helped me with my battle with the bottle. It smoothed the soul. PTSD is for real. The price of freedom isn't free. To my service brother and sisters. Fight the good fight 💪
Crazy how music has been here for me at the lowest points of my life when nothing else is.
hope they can help you face those moments and get out of them even healthier

Excellent era for RHCP!
One of my favorite songs ever
Hands down the greatest song they have ever made!!! The riffs, base lines, drums, lyrics, video and presentation are so on point its ridiculous. Much love and kudos from Muskegon Michigan to these legends.
This song described perfectly how sad I felt sometimes. And the feeling that you need some time alone with yourself just to continue. But like the songs states you will be back restored and fresh ☺️
Nothing but the best.
sn pc cheer up buddy. I literally have a disease in which my brain bleeds from. I somehow contracted a 3rd world disease here, in a 1st world country. Stanford. 3 emergency brain surgeries. 8 months in hospital. Still have only 3% chance of living. Be happy! Things could be much much worse! And hug your loved ones! You never know when you might not be able to...
Check out RHCP - Dark Necessities. Anthony has an awesome pedostache, makes the song even better!
RHCP is so brilliant 🔥
Frusciante was such a genius with melody. Didn't have to be all showy and shit....just naturally awesome.
where even was he in this
+Sean Fitzgerald the video was made after he left the band because of his heroin usage he came back in 98
this song was before frusciante join the band for the first time
+Craig Gerhardstein that what's I thought thanks
Sean Fitzgerald your both wrong its a lost song on blood suger sex magic on 1991 you can see him John record it in the studio from the funky monks video from that same year and released in 1993 in the cone heads movie soundtrack.
Powerful song-- after allowing myself to get my soul squeezed out of me for 15+ years, I finally woke up-- thank you God-- 3 years clean today and it's still one day at a time---
6 month old comment, but I still hope your soul is blossoming, dear! Stay focused, stay happy. Happiness and peace abound to you, my friend!🌻

This song is the pinnacle of this band
3:50-3:55
These words have touched my soul and have impacted my life in such a massive way. Thank the Lord for this lyrical miracle ❤️ 🙏
Wow, you're not kidding! Gonna tattoo on this on my arm so I'll always have these cherished words with me. I didn't know Anthony had these kinds of deep thoughts within him.
@@AndreaFauche lol I dont think he was critizicing the lyrics, he was just trying to be funny. By the way Ive heard those lyrics were unintentionally put there. You know how artists usually get the melody out there first and then fill it up with lyrics, thats what Anthony was doing first filling it up with random words but in the end they decide it to put it in the song.
hahahah fucking right. it doesnt get anymore poetic than that shit lol. cheers.
FOR SURE!! XO
I agree u can be driving down the road and on verge of tears, and this sing popping on out of the blue can change my attitude for the rest of the day. Takes me to a great place
