I am very happy John is back but thank you so much for 10 years Josh!! You kept this band alive, the band could've easily broken up after John left the band in 2009 but you stept in and filled in huge shoes and helped keep this band going. Josh gained a huge fan in me and I wish nothing but the best for him in his next musical chapter. Once a Chili Pepper always a Chili Pepper!! Take care Josh ✌

I worked with Brendan at The Barnet Press in North London in the 1970s when we were junior reporters. He made a lasting impression on everyone who met him. He stood out as an original thinker with a wonderful, surreal view of life, which he expressed eloquently in conversation and writing. I lost contact with him after he left and often wondered where he was and what he was doing... It would have been amazing to meet up 45 years on...I still have an 'essay' he wrote from Hollywood and posted back to Barnet.

Here's the way I look it. Here is what makes the Red Hot Chili Peppers so unique and amazing. Let's say I'm listening to Blood Sugar and By The Way for awhile which are two albums that have frusciante on guitar than if I eventually need a change in my music than I can listen to Freaky Styley or Uplift Mofo Party Plan (having Hillel Slovak as guitarist) and than if I want to change my musical style again I could listen to One Hot Minute (Dave Navarros style) and if I even want to listen to another musical approach I could go to I'm with you or I'm Beside you with Josh Klinghoffer. The way too look at it is this band never gets old, they're timeless because they've had 4 unique guitarist with 4 different styles but yet still having that Chili's sound in all of it. Making it very hard to get tired of listening to this band all together. It's like 4 different bands yet all of the same band together as one

Not long after my father died in September of 2013 I heard this song. He died at 62, with a lot of plans not begun and a lot unfinished. This became the first song that really reached through the numbness of grief and let me feel it. Because it was the chili peppers rocking out. because it was half celebration. It was how I felt; grateful, sad, celebratory and maybe even a little crazy. It took me a while to say it, but that’s what this song means to me. What it will always mean to me, and maybe the band never sees this, or knows, but I needed to say it anyway.

[@Tradewindrain]

This is my life almost precisely, only I lost my father a week ago when he was 62 (here i am back to this masterpiece of a song). I'm sorry for your loss but I am happy for what we both had.

It's about the death (2009) of Brendan Mullen - founder of the legendary Hollywood punk rock dive The Masque on Cherokee Avenue. Early home to countless first wave LA punks - X, The Nerves, Zeros, The Weirdos, The Bags, The Dickies. Brendan was an early booster of RHCP - after he'd become a booker at Club Lingerie in the wake of the Masque's closing in 1978.

Kateri cried, the day her lover died, she recognized. Because ya gave her, a life of real love, it's no surprise. The night's are long, but the years are short, When you're alive. Way back when, will never be again, it was a time. It's gonna catch you, so glad I met you, to walk a line. Chorus Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone. And when the drummer drums, he's gonna play my song, to carry me along. Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone. And when the boatman comes to fairy me away, to where we all belong. Come get me! Hey! Hey! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Like I said you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone. And when the drummer drums, its gonna play my song, to carry me along. Like I said you know I'm almost dead, You know I'm almost gone. And when the boatman comes to fairy me away, to where we all belong. Then we live, so every time you die, he's in the revert sky. Lay me down, so when it's time to leave, another sun will rise.

Just Wonderful💞 The Lyrics Is Very Moving...The Video Is Just Incredible And Anthony’s Voice Is Perfect✨

[@De_La_Evo]

Thanks for this song, this helps with it all

[@stanmoroncini8825]

One of the RHCP’s most beautiful and most underrated songs. And this setting for it, New Orleans, just, wow....

[@peteberg3640]

So pumped for John coming back to the band, but I will miss Josh. Amazing guitar player.

[@Seanmmvi]

I looked up the lyrics and sang along and really paid attention to the words, i wept half way through. Only the second song to ever make me cry. The first was " Dont take the girl " by Tim McGraw.

[@Luka.Harutyunyan]

Thank you Josh

[@radovanbendjo431]

This song is just so soothing to listen to. I love it ! This song is for anyone dealing with a hard time in life or deppression, to anyone dealing with depression, there is always someone there for you, youre not alone!🤙🤙🤘

[@J0eyG23]

such a great song

[@danikim119]

This is too perfect. What an amazing song.

[@carloslegorburu]

"Let me live so when it's time to die even the reaper cries Let me die so when it's time to live another sun will rise" I'm crying my eyes out. Love you RHCP, thanks for so much.

[@thatoneguy3332]

I listened to this and a few other songs almost everyday when my very ill grandfather was in hospital with a big chance he probably won't come out. I didn't know what to do so I turned to music to help. And it did. I was still really sad but this helped me get through and words can not describe how happy I am to say my grandad got through and is well again

[@avilacosta815]

Me seguro pra não chorar toda vez que escuto, música linda, a história dela, é por isso que eu amo essa banda. ❤️❤️❤️

[@rafaelmatoso8562]

Foda é não chorar sabendo que o Josh saiu... Mas estamos em ótimas mãos.

[@jackiiiih]

Essa música e a Police Station são as minhas preferidas do álbum. Lindas demais !!! Nunca irei esquecer do Josh, tenho um carinho especial por ele ♥️❤️😍

[@viiii481]

Lindo dms mesmo

[@Thiago-Schembri]

qual a historia dela?

[@washing_machine_guy]

Such an underrated song! Probably my favourite song on the 'I'm With You' album!

[@ChirodipBasu25021994]

Amazing how a band dont change their music despite the years, and core members leaving, and not sound one bit less amazing from the last time you heard them..

[@ArcticSounds]

Go listen to Get Up and Jump by them. They've changed a lot, multiple times.

[@ZoeF.O]

they've change a lot!!!

[@maartencrousen1088]

They've changed but they are still great

[@turdferguson3803]

nice try shlomo this album has like two good songs on it

[@turdferguson3803]

***** this song and the adventures of rain dance maggie, look around is awful this band won't make another good album ever again without john frusciante

[@turdferguson3803]

***** No, Josh has only been on I'm With You and The Getaway.

[@joshjanda4454]

You need to expand your horizon if you think this album is trash. Just really sit down and listen to it and I promise you'll enjoy it.

[@stev0h_]

I love this song, it makes me feel sad, makes me reflect on life, but then at the same time makes me feel happy, positive and at peace in the universe. an amazing tribute, an unbelievably amazing work of art, and the video is truly amazing.

[@luciadolour7339]

One of my all time favorite music videos. I love everything about it - the setting, the music, the direction, the performance.

[@AllSportFan20]

one of their deepest songs. so powerful

First time that I heard this joint, I was blown away. I'm still blown away. The Chili Peppers are amazing. Them and Fishbone, their long-time buddies.

[@arthursantos448]

Thank you josh ❤

If I die before I get it done Will you decide Take my words and turn them into sounds That will survive Because a long time ago I knew not to deprive It's safe out there and now you're everywhere Just like the sky And you are love, you are the love supreme You are the rise And when you hear this, you know it's your jam It's your goodbye Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums He's gonna play my song To carry me along Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes To ferry me away To where we all belong We all crossed when we were feeling lost It's just the time Kateri cried the day her lover died She recognized Because you gave her a life of real love It's no surprise The night's are long, but the years are short When you're alive Way back when we'll never be again It was a time It's gonna catch you so glad I met you To walk a line Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums He's gonna play my song To carry me along Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes To ferry me away To where we all belong Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums He's gonna play my song To carry me along Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes To ferry me away To where we all belong Let me live so when it's time to die Even the reaper cries Let me die so when it's time to live Another sun will rise I said yeah Yeah yeah, yeah yeah I said yeah Yeah yeah, yeah yeah Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone And when the drummer drums He's gonna play my song To carry me along Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone And when the boatman comes To ferry me away To where we all belong Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone Like I said you know I'm almost dead You know I'm almost gone

[@JayPlays792]

By far my favorite band ever the style and melodies are endless RHCP forever.

[@jasoncrestik638]

Rest In Peace

[@sonicyouth7177]

Es increíble que una melodia te recuerde a una persona que partió. Escuche esta canción justo el día en el cual falleció una tía de diferente sangre en mi familia, no saben cuánto la extrañamos, un beso al cielo donde quieras que estés.

[@dianamari8332]

RHCP will forever be my favorite band their music is magical 🥰❤️🌶😎🎤🎶💃🏻

[@AnthonyKiedis-ev6py]

Hello, how are you doing today? Nice meeting you here.

[@venomau5speedz]

so while my poor feet get numb walking home this bands music and also this particular song aswell helped me so much and brought happiness and light to my life because without music like this i know my somewhat pathetic little life would cease to exsist.

[@Richard__Cranium]

In recent years, we would often talk about how it kinda crazy it was how us, and ALL of our friend group, could pick up right where we left off regardless of how long it had been since we last spoke or saw each other. Neither of us really knew why that was, but today I came to that realization -- it's because we never actually left one another. No matter how many miles away, no matter how much time we spent apart, we always carried a piece of each other with us. You didn't leave me then, you certainly haven't left me now. Dan, I don't have a fucking clue where life's about to take me, but I do know a couple things: 1. I'm gonna carry a piece of you with me and do my best to ensure this world never forgets who Daniel Thomas McWilliams is. 2. Somewhere, somehow, someway, I'll see you again. And when that time comes, I can't wait to pick up right where we left off. My friend for life. My brother forever. I love you, Dan.

[@LadyBloodyWrists]

Makes me cry everytime. Best thank you song for a funeral

[@caimanaraujo479]

This is probably the song that means the most to me. It reminds me of the days my relationship with my mom was simple and the closest it ever had been. She wanted thia song to play at her funeral, I think she still does, and I think the lyrics fit perfectly to her personality. After 2012, I started going through a bad moment in my life, everything went ugly, and specially my friendship with her got really damaged. It was mostly my fault, and I will never forgive myself. We are at way better terms, and she is my best friend again, the best moments of my day are when I'm with her. But things will never be the same. It will never be that simple, innocent and happy, ever again. Still, I will enjoy the most of the time I'm close to her, so when the time comes for us to part, even the reaper cries.

[@solaris70]

😢 i am broke~n down falling apart , töö far gone completely shred apart for many years now i understand how what you are saying . . 👁️ 💧

[@ChefClary60]

First time I heard it, when first came out, knowing nothing about song; affected me greatly. That's powerful What an amazing band.

Never cease to be incredible.

One of the most beautiful songs in the world. RHCP has been a part of my life for over 30 years. RIP Brendan
