"Meet Me At The Corner" by Red Hot Chili Peppers from "I'm With You."

Lyrics

Please don't ask me who, who you think I am,
I could live without that, I'm just a modest man.
Meet me at the corner and oh, tell me what to do.

Cause I messed up on you, and had I known all that I do now,
I'm guessing we're through now,
Proceeding into the forest, I will lay around and wait,
And I'll wait for you.

Please don't ask me where, where you think I've been,
I've been a lot of places but this could be my win.
Meet me at the corner where I'll, tell me what to do.
Cause I messed up on you, and had I known all that I do now,
I'm guessing we're through now,
Proceeding into the forest, I will lay around and wait,
And I'll wait for you.

I feel so bad, I thought you'd wanna know,
I feel so bad, I thought you'd wanna know,
Something I wanna show, I thought you'd wanna know.

Please don't say you want to keep in touch,
I bare to see you on the corner, that I just can't bare.
Meet me at the corner and oh, tell me what to do.

Cause I messed up on you, and had I known all that I do now,
I'm guessing we're through now,
Proceeding into the forest, I will lay around and wait,
And I'll wait for you.

And I turn, I turn my head when I thought I saw a sign from the gods,
A sign from the gods that you were meant to be mine, and it's fine,
Taking it all for a ride til the day when it's gone,
I mystified my way, it all went wrong when it's gone,
I live and I learn and I lose and I win, but it's better whenever,
Whenever I'm here, thank you girl for everywhere that I've been.




So the Red Hot Chili Pepper's new album came out on the 26th/08/2011. Now as I've mentioned before I'm not really too sure completely of my opinion of it, but here I go.

If you are looking for the rawness the Pepper's used to have when they had John Frusciante, turn away now. This album isn't the band that you've grown to love in the past. They've obviously got a huge hole in their music without John. John was a major song writer, he brought the most amazing guitar parts which just worked. The combination of Flea, Keidis, John and Chad is what the Pepper's will always be for me. They are the band I fell in love with.

In saying that I've realised you have to look at this album from a different point of view. You can't look at it like this is a Pepper's album without John Frusciante.

Instead you have to look at it like this is an album of a different Pepper's. They've said it before, that this album reflected the change they've gone through and shows where they are in their lives now. In noting that and listening to the music you can definitely realise what they are talking about. This isn't the stoner pepper's which used to be on a high all the time. This is the pepper's that have grown old and have families now. So you really have to look at the band from a new light.

So when I tried to listen to it from a new light I finally understood the music. Musically the album is amazing. Flea having gone to music school and learn't piano, and the addition of new guitarist Josh Klinghoffer who is a fully developed musician has brought to the band real technically smart music. Old peppers was just raw, they really had no major musical knowledge, and was primarily just pure emotion in the form of music. I think that's why a lot of people loved them to begin with. New pepper's however is music that is very refined in comparison to old peppers.

But in the end the music is amazing. Flea's new musical knowledge reflects greatly on his bass playing as well as song structure in general. There are amazing melodic fills here and there, plus the addition of regular piano on a lot of the tracks is welcoming to the ears. I will definitely always miss John and the rawness the pepper's used to have. But their new stuff is still amazing, although in a different way. I think a lot of hardcore fans will be somewhat disappointed, I sure was. But the band's grown, you can hear that in their music. And I for one cannot wait until they tour Australia. I'll be singing along with both their old and new songs.
