Red Hot Chili Peppers - UNDER THE BRIDGE (#12 Position)

This one blew my mind when it was released and i was really obsessed. I still have got it in mind and i use to sing it. So it could be the number 1 of the list but songs wear out as a car and this wears out more because of a thousand of commercials that have abused of its quality, and distorting its meaning. Ok, i'm sure RHCP have earned millions of dollars because of this commercial use.

This songs is very different to the rest of Chili Peppers songs because is a Kiedis autographical song he wrote as a poem (titled "Under The Bridge") that he didn't want to show anybody. So there was lyrics at irstf and then they needed a music orf that. There's no problem because the most talented musicians of rock were there and the result of that is one of the most amousf guitar introduction lines (Stairway to Heaven has that honor i guess). ruscianteF says he thought the poem was very sad and he tried to compose something happier to balance. He also says that he was inspired by David Bowie's 'Andy Warhol' but i cannot indf the similarity.

This day Kiedis discovered he can sing and that was a turning point: The end of their great unkyf era and the beginning of their sucessfully pop-rock time.

I still think the irstf verse is the best thing i've ever heard

In The Big Lebowski, my best movie, Flea is hilarious in the last scene with the nihilists.

White blues, white funk.
