It’s the moment we have all been waiting for.

The notorious Red Hot Chili Peppers are back and better than ever.

The world is being #blessed with another album after five years of waiting.

On Thursday, "Dark Necessities," the second track on the album, was gifted to the public.

With Flea’s mesmerizing bass and Kiedis’ smooth vocals, the track is everything we could have hoped for.

With the ever wavering sound of this guiding group, the sound of this album in its entirety could be anywhere from "Mother’s Milk" to "Stadium Arcadium." Honestly, who knows?

The LP was produced by Danger Mouse and mixed by Radiohead producer and long-time collaborator, Nigel Godrich.

It’s gonna be golden.

"The Getaway" Track List:

1. "The Getaway"

2. "Dark Necessities"

3. "We Turn Red"

4. "The Longest Wave"

5. "Goodbye Angels"

6. "Sick Love"

7. "Go Robot"

8. "Feasting on the Flower"

9. "Detroit"

10. "This Ticonderoga"

11. "Encore"

12. "The Hunter"

13. "Dreams of a Samurai"

It has been ages since this group released a studio album and we have been getting anxious. One reason for this delay had to do with the fact that bassist, Flea, went snowboarding and broke his arm when they were supposed to start recording. Ballers gonna ball and Flea went and did just that. Hoop number one: one-armed bassist.

Hoop number two emerged shortly thereafter. Though the group wrote 20-30 songs pre-recording time, Brian Burton of Danger Mouse, told them to scrap it and start fresh. Burton, being the producer, had the final say in the matter, though it caused some distress among the group.

Though there was some initial pushback, trust in the producer was the most important, so Kiedis & Co. caved and tried it out. We will just have to wait and see what the combination of artists comes up with.

The group will be touring in Europe for the summer along with a few dates in the U.S. in California and Ohio, you lucky Buckeyes, you.

The album is expected to be released on June 17.

Stay tuned.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
