Lyrics:
I got a bad disease
Up from my brain is where I bleed
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze
Well all the love from me
With all the dying trees I scream
The angels in my dreams, yeah
Have turned to demons of greed
That's mean
Where I go, I just don't know
I got to, got to, gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time
Today love smiled on me
It took away my pain, said please
I’ll let your ride be free
You gotta let it be
Oh yeah
Where I go, I just don't know
I got to, gotta, gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time
You're so polite indeed
Well I got everything I need
Oh make my days a breeze
And take away my self destruction
It's bitter baby and it's very sweet
A holy rollercoaster but I'm on my feet
Take me to the river, let me on your shore
Well, I'll be coming back baby, I'll be coming back for more
Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad
I could not forget but I will not endeavour
Simple pleasures are much better, but I won’t regret it, never
Where I go, I just don't know
I got to, got to, gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time
Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna keep it for the end of time

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
Sorry for your loss.
My condolences and unconditional Love
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?!
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😌😭😌😌❤️❤️❤️❤️.
I totally agree with both of you guys! This song is timeless and I honestly don’t think they could’ve done any better with this 💕
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.
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.
that bass line though . . .
Love 🎉
When I first listened to this song, I experienced what you’re describing my friend.
WELL SAID
My anthem right now.
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.
I love this band so much i been hearing 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
Awesome man!!!
❤
Bro I saw he had SNAKES in his hair tho is he the MASTER OF SNAKES?
I got a bad disease
Up from my brain is where I bleed
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze
Well all the love from me
With all the dying trees I scream
The angels in my dreams, yeah
Have turned to demons of greed
That's mean
Where I go, I just don't know
I got to, got to, gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time
Today love smiled on me
It took away my pain, said please
I'll let your ride be free
You gotta let it be
Oh yeah
Where I go, I just don't know
I got to, gotta, gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time
You're so polite indeed
Well I got everything I need
Oh make my days a breeze
And take away my self destruction
It's bitter baby and it's very sweet
A holy roller-coaster but I'm on my feet
Take me to the river, let me on your shore
Well, I'll be coming back baby, I'll be coming back for more
Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad
I could not forget but I will not endeavour
Simple pleasures are much better, but I won't regret it, never
Where I go, I just don't know
I got to, got to, gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time
Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna keep it for the end of time
But I won’t regret it, never.
Yes exactly what I was looking for
Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad
pure poetry
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.

Beautifully written tribute for your boy. ❤️
It sounds like you have lived an amazing and fantastically beautiful life brother ✌
The stories you could tell … ever in Orlando I’ll buy ya a beer
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❤
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
1:50 im pretty sure. Looks young.
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
This is honestly one of the best songs ever period.
Indeed 😌
It has always been and always will be my favorite Chili Pepper's song!
This guy gets it.
I love mostly all of their music but this song just makes you forget you had a bad day! Favorite 1 for sure 💯
Damn straight
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!
Unpopular opinion: this is better than Under The Bridge.
Way better
This is a fact indubitably
Much better, this is my favourite Chili Pepper's song
It's different...note the years in between
Staying hot ...
released in 1993..I was 15 then now I'm 45..RHCP still kickin! May 21, 2024 here..
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.
Dude, yup.
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
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. 🙂
This is one of the very few songs that helped me to defeat depression after years fighting against it.
Same here I wish u the best. Depression can be a real beast
Well done my friend. What other songs? Me too
how? 10 years in and can't find a way out
Stick Figures got some pretty heavy ones
Really ? It totally depresses me.
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.
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
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 Mainstream music, yeah, sadly. Hard to find the good stuff.
+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.
+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.
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.
I got a bad disease
Out from my brain is where I bleed
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze
With all the love from me
With all the dyin' trees, I scream
The angels in my dream, yeah
Had turned to demons of greed, that's mean
Where I go, I just don't know
I got to, got to, gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time
Today love smiled on me
He took away my pain, said, "Please"
"I'll let your ride be free"
"You gotta let it be, oh, yeah"
Where I go, I just don't know
I got to, gotta, gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give ya some of my good time
Yeah!
Oh, so polite indeed
Well, I got everything I need
I'll make my days a breeze
And take away my self-destruction
It's bitter baby and it's very sweet
Holy rollercoaster, but I'm on my feet
Take me to the river, let me on your shore
I'll be comin' back maybe, I'll be comin' back for more
Doo-doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad
I could not forget, but I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures are much better but I won't regret it never
Where I go, I just don't know
I got to, got to, gotta take it slow
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time
Where I go, I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico
When I find my peace of mind
I'm gonna keep ya for the end of time
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.
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💕 ☺️
Having a killer bassist is good.
Love this song since a kid....my dad played the bass guitar...he loved flea...he always played this on his bass....rip dad love you....
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 🧡
Keep on loving
RCHPtherapy, i'm hard into it
Hope you can put some weight on must be terrible
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!
RIP Chris Farley!!!!!
Just watched his documentary I am Chris Farley the other day dude had unlimited potential sad story
Miss that guy he was hilarious
+Darren Luke Damn I need to see that Documentary..
+dubseedz757 Lesson for the kids - don't do food. Heart disease and other food/lifestyle diseases kill way more people than heroin or crack.
+Caito Jones lol... might be missing the joke because he was a big boy n all, but didn't farley od?
The Bass in this song hits like a punch to the soul and just reverberates through you.
Flea is just so talented
FLEA IS THE SHIT MAN.😄😄
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 💯
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.
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.
anybody listening in 2024
Frequently
Yes. Not even a huge rhcp fan but this song is absolutely gold.
👋
went to a rhcp concert in 2024! thanks god!
yeah
Dang. Wasn't prepared for the emotional impact of an unexpected Farley cameo. 😢❤
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!!!!!)
Over 30 years ago and I still can't believe this song didn't make the tracklist for _BloodSugar..._ one of the great music videos ever - just wish John was in it. It's one of his most glorious moments...
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.
Sacred *
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.
forgot how much I love these guys, some days I've just gotta go back, slow down, and listen to rhcp
amen
agree
It's weird - these guys were in my top ten in high school, but not my top five (which is a big difference ... in high school), but I woke up this morning with Under the Bridge in my head and I've been on a jag all day
HOW CAN YOU FORGOT MEN
Never Stopped!
Was that Chris Farley with the cigar?
Chris Farley was a god. He was amazing and from the same city that my entire family is from…. Chicago fucking Illinois! And everyone that comes from that city is fantastic! Including everyone I’ve ever known… god bless his life and after death. God bless you!
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
I've been listening to yall ever since I came out of my momma. She told me I always fell asleep to you songs, and my first music cd was Red Hot Chili peppers. Yall are my father cause mine was never really a dad. Thanks for cheering me up when I get sad and making me happier when I'm already happy. I lived the poor life all my life and yall made it easier. Thank you so much.
Who are you my long lost twin
+James Venckus The Best Compliment Ever James!
+James Venckus I agree, they're my favorite band. Very easy on the soul, something I can't find in most other music
Same my parents said I would stand up holding onto the tv as a baby, dancing whenever rhcp would come on mtv. RHCP for life!
James Venckus same honestly. much respect brother
What a timeless, beautiful ballad. It's one of the songs I sing to my daughter at bedtime. Possibly the best song to ever be exclusively released on a movie soundtrack.
that guitar is so beautiful
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
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
Best song from RHCP.🥰🥰😘😘
Possibly it's def in my top 3 from them
I don't know why i almost cry everytime i hear this song, its either because i reminisce about my life when it was care free and happy, when my gf of nine years bounced, when i got addicted or clean from heroin, or just my current situation. Ive been bumping this for so long its engrained into my life
when my life couldn't get more gray and black, the only thing I ask is for a tiny ray of light. and the whole day I go without a way out. yet at the end of my day, your sweet sounds melt away my toxic rage ball and fill me with the warmth and love that ascends me to the stars and carries me happily into the next day.
You explained that wonderfully.
very nice /no
I'm crazy and I know it but, when I read this I would never show it :)
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
In a world that fucking sucks, its the music that keeps us sane.
The 1st time I ever heard this song my friend on the school bus played it for me on his discman. I couldn't believe what I was listening to I thought I was listening to heaven.
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.
cheers to Anthony Kiedis' father! when I was 16 (22 years ago) I was stuck in a group home, and had nothing but books and music to occupy my time. I wrote a letter to RHCP telling them my story and How much their music meant to me, I got a 2 page response! it was a very heartfelt letter that I still cherish. he even included a signed picture of Flea, as I had mentioned I loved his bass. that was a tough time for me, and Mr. Kiedis really brightened my day, and he didn't have to. thank you again sir.
*****October 2018, please send a constant positive vibe Blackie's way, he is very ill from what I understand. I have researched his life story heavily, and I suggest you do the same. He is an amazing man*****
That's lovely,yes Blackie is a good man,IV sent him a message and he has responded a few times,blows my mind,RHCP mean so much to me,I couldn't imagine my life without them.more than just music.just something I had to write...you spelt his last name wrong,it's Kiedis
lucky wish I got a letter from them . when I was in my grouphome
they got me thru the worst of my times in the life of mine so far
where did you get their address?
Mine was through facebook messenger..im friends with his father.

Same.
Brii Camdyn i think if everybody listens to the boys it will take their soul
Me too
and squeezes it?
Oh Ya!
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!
As someone who deals with depression on a daily basis this song gives me some hope that someday I’ll overcome that shit. And when I do I’ll share my happiness with my significant other my parents my siblings and their kids
Stay in there man I know how it is my mom was killed when I was 12 I’m still looking for my inner peace 3 years later this song really helps alot may god bless you and your family.
You're not alone. I don't think I'll ever find my peace of mind, but this song helps a lot.
I love the subtle _"Vertigo_ shot" at ~2:35, making the background "move away", seeming to retreat behind the water-tank in the foreground of the shot. Never noticed that before.
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.
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.
One of their best.
This song helped me out a lot today. Going through a shitty time at the moment. Thank you 🙏🏻
if this song helps you in whatever you’re going through, Jam it to the fullest!!!
Hit thee replay button. YoU kNOW yoU want to. It sounds SOOO nice I want to hear thee same song Thrice.
Did you purposely sort of quote sublime
I do erreday.
sublime yes pls
+Zenjedi99v2 i always play it twice i cant resist!
+Panos Siatras it's just too perfect to chill to this!!
Helped me through my addiction. The goal of getting loaded was to get back to who I was and be at peace. This song reminded me that it's there, and I could reach it if I didn't completely cave.
Hey, congratulations. Hope you're still doing well. I struggle with depression and anxiety and it helps.
Just hearing someone sing pitch imperfect anymore is so refreshing. I feel like auto tune/pitch correction would detract so much from the feel and honesty of the song. Man, I miss 90's music.
Right! This is my favorite song from them and all I can hear is how 80% he's sings off key but maybe that's what makes it honest and a standout.
Auto tuning your voice is ruining singing.
“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.
Same here man my favori2
Yup
Where I Go I just Don't know
Acurakiller don’t forget about your friend death. Ghost.
This is the one positive vibes always
please look my tribute of this song!

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
When I was watching the fifth season of Sranger Things, I kept thinking what song would save me from Vecna, with no success. Then, I was watching one of their concerts, and John began playing the intro of Soul to Squeeze for the first time at the 2022 tour and I immediately shivered and started to cry. I remembered of those long afternoons when I kept listening to this song on repeat on my K7 tape. Man, I love this song so much! Vecna wouldn't get me.
There have only been 4 seasons so far of stranger things... you from the future?
@@timothyfloogle It's so obvious that I made a mistake and said fifth when I meant fourth. If you watched the fourth season you know what I was talking about. Don't be this person. 🙄
Slightly better than under the bridge downtown. I have never been under a bridge by the grace of God
This song will always remind me of my little brother. miss you dudes
+AC TV this song reminds me of my dad, he always loved RHCP
+AC TV My friend introduced me to RHCP. Can't listen to them without thinking of him.
Little bro? He still with you?
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.

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 used to have a crush on Anthony as a kid in the '90's. He was a 90's hottie 😅 4:47 that smile 😁
You can crush on me now if you want..😋
@@SXI96 🤔😂🥰
Is the boss man! With the cigar Chris Farley!! 😆 love it!
Yup
@@scottewens6277 Chris had one of the main roles in the movie Coneheads, whose soundtrack has "Soul To Squeeze" on it.
@@s.kreusler5081 Oh I know!! Not to give my age away but I was a teen in the 90s, never missed an episode of SNL back then.
.........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. :)
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 :)
I don’t think there’s a guitarist out there cooler than John Frusciante. Love the way he plays.
One of the best songs ever created! It never gets old.
I've got a bad disease
But from my brain is where I bleed.
Insanity it seems
Has got me by my soul to squeeze.
Well all the love from thee
With all the dying trees I scream.
The angels in my dreams (yeah)
Have turned to demons of greed that's mean.
Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.
Today love smiled on me.
It took away my pain say please
All that you had to free
You gotta let it be oh yeah.
Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.
Oh, so polite indeed
Well I got everything I need.
Oh make my days a breeze
And take away my self destruction.
It's bitter baby,
And it's very sweet.
I'm on a rollercoaster,
but I'm on my feet.
Take me to the river,
Let me on your shore.
I'll be coming back baby,
I'll be coming back for more.
Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone
Ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad
I could not forget
But I will not endeavor
Simple pleasures aren't as special
But I won't regret it never.
Where I go I just don't know
I got to got to gotta take it slow.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna give you some of my good time.
Where I go I just don't know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico.
When I find my piece of mind
I'm gonna keep you for the end of time.
Thankyou for the lyrics
This And Breaking The Girl Has Some Damn Find Lyrics.
Thanx!
Out from my brain, some think up from my brain. I know people list "but" but that doesn't make sense as he's describing his condition not contradicting it.
@@promontorium it's up from my brain is where I bleed you can even see it by the way he moves his lips
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
30 years since this came out, wow, where does the time go? Still as great as the first time I heard it
This could've lied and under the bridge are still their best songs .
I feel old.
Lack of this kind of masterpiece in 2024.
3:49
''Doo doo doo doo dingle zing a dong bone, ba-di ba-da ba-zumba crunga cong gone bad''
Classic Anthony.
lol
best youtube comment ever!! ;)
Bart copied
He use this same lyric for 99% of the songs he forgets live
It's a form of scat.
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
I really love RHCP in the 90s because it is the strongest and invincible. It's very sad. A man who is too delicate is pretending to be crazy.
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.
Who’s with me 2020 still listening to the boys love the red hot chilli peppers 🌶
From Sri lanka
Scare face G ME!!!! 🙋♀️🤘😝
bodybalancer can’t stop playing can’t stop listening man make me think about the old days
Scare face G it’s about the only thing that gets me thru the day man
Barry Bambino me too brother

Rob Carr lol! I'm now beginning to question the scout leaders motives?
LMAO
Who are the "Red Hot Chili Peppers " ??
wee mandy scotland Im serious ,
That guitar is so amazing most heart felt
Johnny motherfucking frusciante
A top 5 chillis song for sure
simply one of the best songs ever written. goddamn, do I miss my youth
Best. Intro. Ever. Ever.
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.
@@deepblue8143 look up the lost principle. 3 steps to take control of your life and gain purpose
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.
holy shit 30 years old its like a time machine
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.
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
@@lucasanddre im getting better man, its a slow process
yeah well the music doesnt have a choice
lolz
I understand... The power of music has saved my own life before
Simple pleasures life is special I wont regret it NEVER
So many excellent musicians in one place. But I'm glued to the bass line the whole time.
Funny thing is I was never a big fan of any of the more popular music at that time in the 90s like this or Nirvana or Janes or Alice in Chains, I was a metal guy and NOT LA metal but death metal, Morbid ANgel, Deicide, Carcass, Entombed etc but NOW I like all this music because, while I did not know it at the time, it really became the music of my life suring thatperiod of my life and I appreciate it now especially when I look around and wonder, what the hell will kids today have for the music during their fun times?
Seriously, looking back I feel blessed that the 90s had some real great music that was being played regularly on mainstream radio. That had not happened since the late 60s and 70s. I can't say its happened since. It was the last prollific period of really great music and I keep waiting for the next new big wave but it hasn't happened.
Really it seems just like yesterday this came out.
Same for me, even though I wasn't alive during the 90s. I love a lot of the metal bands you listed and much much more, but for some reason I never explored this genre because "It's not metal". Boy, am I glad I loosened up. I was holding myself back but it feels like I can fully enjoy all types of metal as well as this kind of music (I'm at a loss for what to call it).There's something more sensitive and raw about this style with good lyrics that actually have meaning. I promise you that if enough kids feel this way, they'll seek out the good stuff like this instead of sticking to the top 40s. Good music never really goes out of style. Peace out
The 90's we're the grand finale of rock
I may be a kid but I hate most of today's music and love music from the past
+KillerDEJ iron maiden? 2pac? Mozart? be more specific
+Jack Smiler-Brandenburg Alice in Chains, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink Floyd, Bob Marley, Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Nirvana etc......
I agree.There is soo many artist out there that put out great music,and just don't want the recognition,because of the love for music.
excuse me, who are you talking to?
+MrDjambronk Right, that threw me off 😂
