Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Song: Bicycle Song
Album: By The Way (2005)
To highlight particular moments of quiet and reflection, you can get around by bike some big rock band, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, for example. Their "Bicycle Song" is published in the album "By The Way" (but it’s a bonus track of the i-tunes version, out in 2005). The song is a nostalgic ballad in the typical style of the californian quartet, where the pleasant refrain emphasizes that " How could I forget to mention the bicycle is a good invention ". We agree!
I think that only the melody of the song is upbeat, and happy. If you listen to the lyrics I think that the song is about a girl that he truly respects and cares about, but he keeps messing up the way he treats her. “I’d hop this fence to make amends I hope this movie never ends” I think that in the song he cares about the girl but doesn’t know how to communicate he feels and gets frustrated, because the bicycle is a symbol showing it’s a cycle of many similar relationships. That is what I thing, but maybe I am being too pessimistic.
Here she comes in a suit and tie
Shepard’s bush and a leopard’s pie
She marching to the funky beat of
James Brown and his dancing feet
Gonna set your fish on fire
Pistol whipping of desire
So please do not resist your fate
I’ll pick you up yes it’s a date How could I forget to mention the bicycle is a good invention
Sitting there in a silent movie
Beside the only girl who really ever moved me
Happy days but sad I’m facin
Heaven knows that I’m on the case
How could I forget to mention the bicycle?
Somebody told the world
The beauty of your verse
My girl I heard it first
The beauty of your verse
A sticky finger and a wicked taste
Gotta a lot of love and a lyrical case
Be sure to write it in your book
I promise not to look
Wanna smell your sunny face
Funny place but it’s never a waste
I’d hop this fence to make amends
I hope this movie never ends
How could I forget to mention the bicycle is a good invention
Make it up makin you my business
A funny buttercup but I let her forgiveness
Happy days but sad I’m facin
Heaven knows that I’m on the case
How could I forget to mention the bicycle?
Somebody told the world
The beauty of your verse
My girl I heard it first
The beauty of your verse
