Great interpretation. I always saw it as the man couldn’t attach emotionally to her. Her emotions showed through and his emotions closed down. (“Raised by my dad, Girl of the day, He was my man, That was the way...”) He saw his father’s detachment in relationships and this shaped how he conducted himself.

This whole album is so damn good from top to bottom. Remember the day I bought the cassette the week it came out. Had to go back and get a 2nd one after a month 'cause I wore the first one out.

[@JulioLeonFandinho]

[@mattsworld7943]

They’ve had hits, but this album is gold and I don’t feel they’ve ever been able to beat this cover to cover. Went through 2 cassettes and more than one CD as it got played in the car non stop and got scratched up.

[@centuryrox]

Jamel, I'm glad you mentioned Zeppelin right in the beginning, because this song always gave me a Zep vibe, not only in the guitar riff, but particularly when the flute sound kicks in. Indeed, guitarist John Frusciante has stated that Zep was the inspiration behind the riff, from the song "Friends" off Led Zep III.

[@travisray2934]

Yeah for me it's that flute. Don't hear a lot of that outside Zeppelin and Jethro Tull

[@bobthebear1246]

It's actually the Mellotron set to flute tones.

[@jonrhythm3686]

5:05 the purest rhythmic breakdown of any song to come out of the 90's imo.

[@daxdynamite2750]

Also from the same album, check out "I Could Have Lied". It's almost a companion song to this one. Mind you they were heavily under the influence of the Sex Drugs N Rock'n Roll lifestyle at the time, so that might have led to more than one broken relationships.

[@mattharvey968]

That is a great song!😎

one of my favorite things about this song is how they banged on pots and pans, buckets, and even a pipe against a trash can, for the instrumental part towards the end of the song

[@Metal_Head_Mark]

Hands down the greatest Chili Peppers album ever. From the beginning of the first song to the ending of the last song. Every song is a banger. I hope you delve deep into this album.

[@daxdynamite2750]

It's funny because when you turn on a radio station, it's either "Under the Bridge" or something from "Californication". It's like according to popular radio, they never produced anything else. So thank you so much for doing this. PS they also did a great cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground". Worth checking out. PPS Still waiting for you to listen to the Urban Dance Squad. Just saying.

[@katstorm13]

Mother's Milk is my favourite album of theirs. And oh man, saw your comment and headed straight to listen to Bureaucrat of Flaccostreet.

[@poptartthefourth7295]

Makes sense, every thing from Californication is absolute gold. Still one of my favorite RHCP songs

[@domenicgalata1470]

You need to watch the documentary they made recording this album in a mansion in LA. Funky Monks is the title and it’s one of the best documentary for a band I’ve seen. One of them.... For any fan of the band, it is essential viewing.

“Raised by my dad, girl of the day” sounds like his dad was a womanizer and didn’t set a good example for Anthony on how to love and respect women.

[@lowellupchurch1609]

Anthony (the singer) lost his virginity at 11 or 12 years old to his Dad's girlfriend with his Dad's permission. His Dad was called Spider and was the main drug deal at a club in LA, and Anthony spent a lot of time at this club around heavy drug use and promiscuity.

[@mclerms]

"Dani California" is a great song and video by the RHCP

[@sunshynff]

One of my favorite RHCP songs, thank you! There are 17 tracks on this album, almost unheard of back in the day. They asked the great Rick Ruben to produce this album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, who had turned them down on previous albums when Anthony and the late Slovak were still using. He agreed finally, he wanted them to record somewhere that would bring the band together and was unconventional, they settled on the mansion of the late Harry Houdini. The band moved in for over a month while recording, except Chad Smith (drummer looks like Will Farrell) who went home at night to be with wife, although he later admitted going home due to the house being haunted, and while the rest of the band liked that aspect and believed the spirits to be friendly, it freaked Smith out too much. The album would go on to arguably be their best to this day, Rolling Stone listed it in their 100 greatest albums of all time. ✌️❤️️

[@darrellpalmer3860]

Soul To Squeeze by RHCP is often overlooked, but it'd be a good one to react to.

[@tracygalley8713]

Fast forward to last year and I was and still am going through a tough relationship with all kinds of twists and turns. I haven't heard this song in over 25 years but in the fall I was driving home from work and this song played on Pandora shuffle and it brought me to tears. It's exactly what I'm going through now and the story was written so many years ago by the Red Hot Chili Peppers of all bands. Amazing song and criminally underrated.

[@DoppelgangerShockwave]

Absolutely one of the best heartbreak songs ever composed. Anthony's lyrics are about his relationship with artist, Carmen Hawk. Their relationship ended pretty badly, as you can tell by the lyrics. The swirling vibe of the music definitely has that Zeppelin vibe, and I love Chad Smith's drums on the track. And yes, he's been compared to Will Farrell, lol! There's another track on that album that's an even bigger tearjerker called 'I Could Have Lied,' which is about Sinead O'Connor and Anthony Kiedis' brief romance. It is a super bluesy flame of a song. Definitely check it out. The whole album, 'Blood Sugar Sex Magick,' is a masterpiece. It's the album that put the Peppers on the map in 1991.
