Red Hot Chili Peppers – Otherside (album: Californication 2000)

This song is by Red Hot Chili Peppers, when they have released their Blood Sugar Sex Magik album back in 1991I was amazed by it. It is such a great album. I’ve started listening to their music again when they have released their Stadium Arcadium album in 2006. I totally forgot all about them until I’ve met a Canadian girl that was travelling in Australia and working part time in my team, she gave me this album and it just blew my mind! BTW in 2004 their lead singer Anthony Kiedis released an autobiography book about the band called Scar Tissue and it’s a best seller. I haven’t read it as yet but I’m definitely planning to do so soon.
This song is such a wonderful song from their album Californication which is very good as well. This song again talks about drug abuse and the tough reality after rehab. I don’t know why I always have this weird attraction to songs about drugs, is it me or the bands that I choose to listen to? I read someone else’s interpretation to this song which was quite funny; he thought it was about Anal Sex “take it on the other side”. He could be right, you never know...Check out this awesome song...
