The lyrics to My Friends by the Red Hot Chili Peppers
Album: One Hot Minute (1995)
I do not own this song, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Warner bros. do
All songs written by Anthony Kiedis, Flea, Dave Navarro and Chad Smith
LYRICS:
My friends are so depressed
I feel the question of your loneliness
Confide...'cause I'll be on your side
You know I will, you know I will
Ex-girlfriend called me up
Alone and desperate on the prison phone
They want to give her seven years
For being sad
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
My friends are so distressed
And standing on the brink of emptiness
No words I know of to express
This emptiness
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself
Imagine me, taught by tragedy
Release is peace
I heard a little girl
And what she said was something beautiful
To give your love no matter what
Is what she said
I love all of you
Hurt by the cold
So hard and lonely too
When you don't know yourself

I was crushed when a good friend of mine committed suicide, but a family member? That hits so much closer to home. I can’t even imagine how that must feel. I am so incredibly sorry for you and your family’s loss 😞😞🙏🏻🙏🏻. I pray for continued healing for you and yours.

You and me both. I’m willing to bet we are so not alone in this thinking. “So hard and lonely too when you don’t know yourself”. If you replace the word “know” with “love” and learn how to- that’s when you will get what you ask for.

294 comments and no one quoted what the little girl said. It was something beautiful, and that was "to give your love no matter what". Im sure people would disagree but i dont think he did. Such simplicit beauty from the mouths of babes. And she is right. I believe love is the basis to fix all these problems, and not the lusty type of love but the actual core of what it means to love, the self giving, believing, encouraging and inspiring source of goodness we all have deep inside of us. If we all turned to that before we turned to each other the world would indeed be a different place.

The Navarro era doesn't get much love but this a great effing song. and he filled in admirably without trying to be a cardboard cutout. He shows restraint here when that first octave riff culminates, you know he could go off but he plays for the song. All in all, this was a great album, sorry superfans.

...SONG OF THE DAY!!! RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS - MY FRIENDS (1995) Una de las bellas canciones que está grandiosa bNd ha interpretado, siendo honestos el guitarrista DAVE NAVARRO fue lo que más aportó en su período mientras suplía a JOHN FRUSCIANTE mientras se rehabilitaba por el consumo de drogas. La letra habla sobre la lucha mental y física cuando alguien pasa estados DEPRESIVOS y que cuando tienes personas en tu vida que te "CUIDAN" y están ahí cuando los necesitas SERÁN FUNDAMENTALES para salir ADELANTE. Todo el mundo necesita un hombro sobre el que llorar. 🤘🏿ULTRAMEGAROLOTA🤘🏿03/01/2021
