I'm 52 and I've heard almost everything I thought, old and new. I like the Chili Peppers a lot but was only aware of their studio CD's. Then my 16 year old son found all these awesome B-sides dozens of them. Smart kid

[jeb]

Why would the Chili's sit on such a fine song? This and Long Progression show what Josh Klinghoffer is really capable of doing.

[matguerra]

One of Josh's best tones. Himself yet RHCP, I have to imagine this is the Telecaster Chad gave to him... The riff's dope AF obvs

[Navelpluis]

The one's who doubted Josh; this is the perfect proof he is perfectly able to lay down a fantastic riff and provide some beautiful backing vocals

[Strangerstmaxi]

what a chorus, i love the guitar on it, josh is incredible!

[RoIIingStoned]

josh has got a style of his own, damn!

[mgstk]

Puedo considerar que Josh, en su mente y en todo su proyecto, se ha sentido más pepper que ninguno, se ha sentido que ha podido hacer algo que es propio de si y eso es importante que lo pueda contribuir, soy muy fan de los peppers, estos B-Sides ni que decirte, es una joya que solo pocos fans encontrarán.

[JMKQUEPONS]

the guitar in the chorus is like the second voice back to kiedis. Beautiful

[PabloMartinezDutra]

The bridge of this song is an eargasm of funk

[featheryfemme]

They should've pulled another Stadium and made IWY into a long record instead of splitting these songs away from the songs on the actual record. Absolutely adore IBY and IWY.

[VisionX]

this chorus is so kick ass... thank you rhcp for making my life better for the past 12 years, ive been listening to you guys since i was 4,

[agitsmanansal]

Josh deserves a higher portion of his sound on this band, at least now n B-sides, glad to have Josh done this on this single. Josh is really killing it on this track. On chorus, outstanding as if Josh clearly sings on his heart. Breathtaking!!!

[alienvolt]

you could hear how josh gave the band a more melodic ballad sound approach during the era he was with them, something that kept prevalent in the getaway.

[Verse 1]
All of my love and most of my fears
Been coming on strong for most of my years
Add up and end up in a song

[Verse 2]
Cellophane tweeds and revenue streams
Were blocking my shots and killin' my dreams
That showed me how to be the cause

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh ahh, yella
Ooh ahh, hey, ah, what now?

[Chorus]
It's the lifetime of a strange man, that's right
It's a long time for me, I see
She wants to belong and I want to be free
Excommunicated 'cause there ain't no guarantee

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh ahh, yella, ooh ahh, yeah

[Verse 3]
All of my friends and enemies
They were part of this dance that put me right
Here we go, so glad I got this chance

[Verse 4]
Better known plans and lesser known schemes
Were all about love and less about me
I'd have to say she wore the pants

[Pre-Chorus 2]
That's, oh!

[Chorus]
It's the lifetime of a strange man, that's right
It's a long time, for me, u-huh
She wants to belong and I want to be free
Excommunicated 'cause there ain't no guarantee

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
It's the lifetime of a strange man, that's right
It's a long time, for me, let's see
She wants to belong and I want to be free
Ex-communicated 'cause there ain't no guarantee

[Chorus]
It's the lifetime of a strange man, that's me
It's a long time, for me, uh uh
She wants to be rich and I want to be free
Keep your plans elastic 'cause there ain't no guarantee

[Luka.Harutyunyan]

I'm beside you - my favorite album

[Pinkycarruthers]

Easily the best song the I'm With You sessions produced. Pure insanity to not include it on the actual album!

[sympathythedevil]

I'm With You is such a great and underrated album. I'm glad to see that the Frusciante fanboys have seen that Klinghoffer is pretty awesome himself.

[goldenarmpit]

This is awesome! As soon as the chorus kicked in I got a smile as in *yep, this is awesome!*. It sort of reminds me a bit of Californication & By The Way plus, a whole new sound again! Love it!

[davidwantsahug]

This is the first song of the "I'm With You" era where I have been able to bob my head with the music, it's cool.

[CARNLOU]

I've only listened to 1:07 of this song and you can clearly hear Josh's contribution to this track. Well done!!!!
