Music definitely has an effect on people. Different songs can mean a variety of things to different people. For me, a lot of Red Hot Chili Pepper's songs make me feel tons of emotions with every track. I have great memories with song songs, then worst memories with others. That doesn't stop me from listening though, because music is supposed to make you feel something! Now, we might not have the same feelings for each song, so I suggest (before you even read my comments on the song) taking some time just to sit down and really listen to these. These songs are truly good for the soul.
So, here are my top five RHCP songs that should be listened to by everyone!
1. By The Way
Personally, the best to this song just makes a "Trouble Randomly Appears!" scene in my head. You know, like when you're going through your daily routine when, BAM! Something occurs that you weren't expecting to happen. I don't know about you, but the unexpected happens a lot to me. So, this one reminds me that no matter what's ahead, I know I can beat it! I hope this reminds you that, you too, can beat whatever is ahead of you.
2. Hump De Bump
This is one of the more popular songs from RHCP. For this one, I know I always get down in the car and jam to this track. My friends and I have done that time and time again. Maybe it'll bring back some fun, wild memories for you; cause I know it does for me.
3. Hey
Whenever this song plays, I'm always taken back to the times where I had amazing friends that, in different ways, left my life. It brings back memories we shared and honestly makes me wonder where they are now. It makes me regret the things that happened, although I know where I am now and where they are now is where we all are supposed to be. I hope you feel the same way.
4. Minor Thing
A friend of mine told me that this song reminded her of our friend group we have. She said she felt all kinds of emotions when thinking about how far we've come to get to where we are now in college. Once I took a listen to the song, I completely agreed with her. Hopefully this track gets you thinking about the good times and the bad, but most importantly, how far you've come.
5. Porcelain
This quiet and calming song reminds me of the times I've felt really down and out. I actually can remember crying to this once, specifically when college first started and I really was, "missing my kin." Maybe there's some emotion inside of you that you've been hiding in your heart that just needs to come out. Maybe you're at a high point in your life, where you're looking back at the low points you were at. Maybe you just need to cry. Whatever the case is, this track is definitely heartfelt and needs to be heard.
