Lyrics:
I am a man cut from the know
Rarely do friends come and then go
She was a girl soft but estranged
We were the two our lives rearranged
Feeling so good that day
A feeling of love that day
Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
(She meant you no harm)
Think you're so clever, but now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
(He loves no one else)
Raised by my dad, girl of the day
He was my man, that was the way
She was the girl left alone
Feeling the need to make me her home
I don't know what, when or why
The twilight of love had arrived
Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
(She meant you no harm)
Think you're so clever, but now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
(He loves no one else)
Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning
You're breaking the girl
(She meant you no harm)
Think you're so clever, but now you must sever
You're breaking the girl
(He loves no one else)

@@UnremarkableMarx Yeah, I am pretty sure this is about a girl that Anthony had liked, and his dad liked her too. BUT, maybe I am wrong? Anthony's dad used drugs and got him to use them too, and I am pretty sure that this song is about a girl that ended up being "involved" with Anthony and his dad also wanted her, and Anthony looked up to his dad, so, it made for a really weird situation. I'd heard this explanation a while ago, and as for the truth of it? I am not sure about that, BUT, the lyrics sure do sound like it is right.

@@juliegogola4647 it is about a girl named Carmen Hawk that Anthony dated between '89 and '90,she was mentally unstable because her dad abandoned her and their relationship ended up being really toxic for both of them,Anthony wrote this because when problems started showing he quickly lost interest even though they were deeply in love.Anthony referenced his father because he was worried(rightfully)that he'd turn out like him,being unable to really commit in a relationship.

90's explosion of creativity. best decade for music!!

[@ladrum6623]

70s were more creative, but 90s are my favorite

[@henryettacollins9095]

There's always going to be a bias. It's going to be based on your generation, with a spin from your parents. There's a reason the 70s were cool in the 90s. You want creative abjectly? Most recently it's got to be the 50s into the 60s. Rock music was invented almost simultaneously from blues with the advent of electric guitars like the Gibson Les Paul. Chuck Berry maybe if anyone could gets credit. This explosion accelerated as tube amps with vacuum tubes changed into germanium transistors. We got distortion and all manners of recording and music technology. kraftwerk did their first show in the 60s. Music can't move that fast ever again. Now creativity should abound with near free access no most to making an album. But it's also too clustered and I'm sick of type

[@henryettacollins9095]

Ok I'll finish. By the 70s rap starting happening as mentioned because you could get the equipment. If no equipment you could still beat box or rhyme. The styles being driven by equipment availability. Eddie Van Halen starts tapping. Usually a guitar need a pluck or strum to cause vibration to be heard. With pickups and amps that can be just taps. Any like an old keyboard where your finger powered the strike to a laptop the reduced effort allows for major speed. We saw national acts picking up Africa in the 80s. Lots of sampling. In the 90s it was cool to have a Jamaican yell. Seemly deflating novelty and creativity. Now we just recycling. Nu metal wasn't new. Run DMC came up with that. Almost embarrassing. It is embarrassing. What's new now? Usually using the same song on tic TOC everyone else does

My favorite RHCP song. Also, one of the two songs I sang to audition for the lead in a regional band that played the adult bar scene nightly at the time. I sent in my cassette tape (acapella) and was selected to audition in person for the job. They were not expecting a 17-year-old to show up who would go on to need a special permit to work within the group. My Father always said up until the day he died, *"Life's a party, and I am so glad I was invited."* He came to every venue.

[@Azoria4]

4:04 he's also dotted through out it

[@bryanmmusic]

Not really a "short" cameo. He's throughout the whole video.

[@Elena-er7zp]

@@bryanmmusiche isn’t. It’s Chad.

[@Iceis_Phoenix]

I went to bed woke up and watched this at 5 am and then went back to sleep and had vivid dreams of Riv dancing having a good ol" time. So sad I had to wake up I didn't want to leave him. He was twirling around smiling his hair dark. Magical.

[@andreramos5217]

Essa é umas das músicas que você simplesmente não consegui parar de ouvir.

[@igorboza2737]

Tô nesse looping😂😂😂😂

[@jessygf]

Sempre adorei essa!! Perfeita! Uma das minhas preferidas junto com Soul to Squeeze S2

[@AdrianaRodrigues12]

Sim, esse som da flauta nessa música é tudo de bom 💖

[@avaron100]

Best RHCP song ever, the guitar here is amazing.

[@coffeelocks]

Low key the best chilli peppers song

[@bulletsnlace2947]

Thanks Wikipedia - "Breaking the Girl"'s bridge is marked by a percussion break that builds through the use of increasingly complex rhythms. The percussion instruments consisted of junkyard debris found by drummer Chad Smith, guitarist John Frusciante, and bassist Flea. Frusciante's main riff was inspired by Led Zeppelin's ballads, such as "The Battle of Evermore" and "Friends".[3] The song also makes use of a 12-string guitar and a Mellotron, using the flute patch. It is one of only two songs the group has recorded in the 6/8 time signature,[2] with the other being "Porcelain" on Californication.

[@floridagirlhikes4796]

Bullets N' Lace if you watch the documentary Funky monks, they show them making and recording this song and beating on junk and metal trash cans and such.

[@mogul_mable]

Flea is a Natural Treasure, especially when dancing ❤❤❤

[@andreadrake671]

Still one of my favorites, the drums on here rock this song.

[@superstraight8402]

“I don’t know what, when or why... the twilight of love had arrived” 💙 love that lyric

[@deshunsmith2580]

And it a very true point in life, how it happened some how.

[@egoszandor]

💔🥺

[@Olubumni]

My favorite RHCP song. Pure nostalgia when I was in college, summer of 1992😌

[@MrBulshoy]

What a great album. I remember kids were losing it over RHCP when this album came out.

[@craigdaurizio686]

Yeah it was a pretty big deal. What was awesome is that there were so many albums that we all loved, and so many of us were music lovers. It was a great decade for music.

[@gurugangstarr1]

Flea is a force of nature....RHCP 4 ever!!!!

[@bmgxaccclan6986]

yup lolol

[@jaskau2462]

"He´s a freak of nature but we love him sou--oo"

[@caroleharvey.4668]

The only man alive that makes a PVC pipe sound sexy

[@ryansmurda1552]

God, this song brings back memories. They dont make music like they did in the 90s anymore.

[@69ridlah]

This is Chads song !! 🥁

[@indapamod]

Love how drums just sneak up at 0:39

[@shroomcap7113]

this song is so beautiful how is it so underrated

[@smashbrospippop1931]

The outro is the best thing ever

[@ナポリ-i9n]

メイキングで音の作り方を観て大好きな1曲です。 破壊する音作りに感動しました❗️

[@psychoredhot]

It's also about Carmen one of his girlfriend (read that in "Scar Tissue") and the fact that he didn't want to end like his father (about relationship with girls)

[@Aramanth]

I "drop in" on the Red Hot Chili Peppers from time to time giving their sound a listen to brighten my day! This song keeps coming back to me and it's serpentine rhythm keeps me coming back! 🐍

[@LOVEHAS1JOYRAINS2]

Beautiful gem!!! And what a wonder to find your comment here. Feeling this song, when mom dad shares about how the gentleman in us helps our woman when she doesn't feel beautiful. please catch and care for our parents while mama papa is incarnate in physical vessel here on earth!! Singing with the super tenacity and super power of our creators! It's 2023 and humanity's parents Mother Father of all creation is incarnate in the physical vessel playing this song to reach out to us to wakeup and call home = joyrains. These are URGENT moments!! Mom Dad have taken on every lower thought for us to wakeup to truth and innocence to be the change in the world! Love to hear from you! Luna

[@volanceleste]

2:14 Anthony: I don't know what, when or why Me: va vo ve vo, ve vy

[@TemisanAdoki]

Still one of the best music videos I've ever seen in my life. Happy to say I was around to see this brilliance when it was new still.

[@backcountrypreps6171]

The drums in this are great...very jazzy!!

[@riky_att]

I am a man cut from the know Rarely do friends come and then go She was a girl, soft but estranged We were the two, our lives rearranged Feeling so good that day A feeling of love that day Twisting and turning, your feelings are burning You're breaking the girl (She meant you no harm) Think you're so clever But now you must sever You're breaking the girl (He loves no one else) Raised by my dad, girl of the day He was my man, that was the way She was the girl, left alone Feeling the need to make me her home I don't know what, when or why The twilight of love had arrived Twisting and turning Your feelings are burning You're breaking the girl (She meant you no harm) Think you're so clever But now you must sever You're breaking the girl (He loves no one else) Twisting and turning Your feelings are burning You're breaking the girl (She meant you no harm) Think you're so clever But now you must sever You're breaking the girl (He loves no one else)

[@JimmySteller]

I listened to this the day that I thought my relationship was about to end, and the accuracy of some of the lyrics hit me so hard that I started weeping.

[@venturejones]

Down the same drain as you my friend...

[@SamritpalSingh]

I feel it too bro. This song hits home for me.

[@Vectif]

Seems like we're not the only ones.

[@Frankenzebra]

a few days after being dumped and see he's listened to this...but then is he even listening to it and relating it or just listening to a load of rhcp...goddamn things are so confusing

[@Jpizzle011]

It's a very relatable song

[@DonnaBrady-n1h]

I was 11 when I saw the Beatles at Olumpia Stadium in 1966. There's reference to my age. I've seen many, may of the greats even b4 they were great, like Bowie in 1972. RHCPs quality will stand the test of time. Their performance at Slane Castle is my favorite. This song I could listen to forever. Their live performances blow me away. THEY will stand the test of time. Thank you for making me feel so good.

[@mattbellamy-id]

@donna hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here

[@xmunki1389]

this stuff goes as deep as it can go, its like it is from another dimension altogether (paradise perhaps?)... the sound, the harmonies, the video... some real otherwordly type shit lol, love this

[@hermesokniknee7168]

It’s called talent. There used to be a lot of it back then. Nowadays, not so much.

[@yalafernanda2194]

Uma verdadeira obra de arte ♥️

[@daylinlopez5676]

Gran rola. Excelentes recuerdos de mi epoca de adolescente y de paso aparece nuestra bella Patricia Velasquez...

[@carlosrodriguez1034]

No

[@tonazowashere8790]

Si

[@yerarr9146]

Anaksunamuu😍

[@robertomiramiraquilla9978]

2004 la escuché quien es Patricia Velázquez?🤔

[@keithmoreno5410]

I was 8 years old when this came out, my older sister laced me on all the good music. When I heard this song I felt it . Then later on in life I found out that Anthony was part Native, and I gravitated to RHCP even more .

[@luizsanches7551]

I guess this was their first video released after John's departure in the 90's. Somehow it has this bittersweet and melancholy feel

[@antonio5911]

Melhor música do red hot de todos os tempos não canso de escutar a mais de 20 anos

[@luizeduardogomespinto846]

Sim. É excelente!!!

[@iamtoothewalrus]

Love the drums.

[@alanelettronico]

This song was so out of everything in that period, it came as an epiphany.

[@alinabina]

Red Hot Chilli Peppers is my favorite rock band of all time. This is my favorite song of all time.

[@pps4531]

RHCP reached their top with this album due to two main things: Rick rubin’s astonishing production giving kind of a “jungle atmosphere” in the whole record and the majestic risky riffs and chords of Frusciante… Even on the new Unlimited Love album you can find interesting things but this one… This one is something else. To me, this is an album as huge as Sgt. Peppers, Nevermind or Pet Sounds.

[@stevencoardvenice]

You might be right. Its definitely up there for all time best 90s albums

[@stevencoardvenice]

Rage against the machine RATM is also epic 1992

[@vikingfortiesfaeroes]

...said someone who's never actually listened to Sgt Pepper or Pet Sounds

[@mcdonaldallstar]

I'm black and I just became a RHCP fan after watching them perform at the Super Bowl this year. Good music! They're most def original w/ their sound. #RHCP

is it really necesary to state that you are black in a music video?

[@mcdonaldallstar]

No big deal. I'm just saying. There's not a big percentage of black guys who listens to rap, who even digs other music. I have good music taste, and felt like I had to say this. Enjoy

[@re-in222]

mcdonaldallstar you're not special

[@tmori82]

mcdonaldallstar: What you said is absolutely FALSE! You used your PERSONAL percentages from black people that YOU know and used it on a worldly scale to overall that black people that listen to rap don't listen to this type of music. There is a lot of black people that love this type of music as well as rap including myself, especially with me knowing that we were the inventors.....ask Elvis & The Beatles

[@Petree29]

Check out the Black Nights. John Frucsiante who played guitar on this song and who wrote must of rhcp best music works with these guys now. They are from Wu Tang Clan.

[@michelefrancoeur3781]

I was dreaming...this song was in my dream!! Just perfect!! God I love them!!❤❤❤

[@mattbellamy-id]

@michele hello, how are you doing it's nice meeting you here

[@jamesg6027]

I remember skating with this song playing while I was high af. Best feeling ever

[@Mattwest1985]

This is one of the greatest jams of all time. These guys have their all during this recording session! Fucking epic as FUCK! I will always love Red Hot Chili Peppers!

[@corey-bird3489]

You think typing profanity in capital letters is going to make complete strangers love you back?

[@anemicmaiden]

flea completes the video

[@lisag2684]

One of the most underrated favorite songs! I’ve always loved how creative/weird they were. 🤩

[@Houseboogey]

Exactly 💯

[@robosborne7103]

I left school in 1992 , the track reminds me so much of those years 1991 to 1992 , Love this album BSSM !! RHCP

[@joshuahallman3961]

John isn't in this video cause he had already left. That's Arik Marshall the guy who filled in before Dave Navarro.

[@andros11]

I was wondering.

[@guapagrande4789]

OMG I thought I was trippin' when I assumed the guy from NXS was moonlighting as the lead guitarist for RHCPs at one time. Thanks for confirming.

[@markshepherd8413]

It really is a hit with allotta people epic drums...vocals spot on... it has stood the test of time...
