Red Hot Chili Peppers - Wet Sand, this song is fucking amazing

reeferchief · May 2006

My shadow side so amplified
keeps coming back dissatisfied
Elementary son but it's so...

My love affair with everywhere
was innocent why do you care
someone start the car
time to go... your the best I know

My sunny side has up and died
I'm betting that when we collide
the universe will shift into a low

The travesties that we have seen
are treating me like benzedrine
automatic laughter from a pro

My what a good day
for a walk outside
I'd like to get to know
you a little better baby
god knows that I really tried

My what a good day
for a walk out bride
I'd like to say we
did it for the better of

I saw you there so unaware
those hummingbirds all in your hair
elementary son but it's so

The disrepair of Norma Jean
could not compare to your routine
balarama beauty
going toe to toe

My what a good day
just to let it slide
I'd like to say we did it for the better of

I thought about it
and I brought it out
I'm motivated by the lack of doubt
I'm consecrated but I'm not devout
the mother, the father, the daughter

Right on the verge just one more dose
I'm traveling from coast to coast
my theory isnt perfect but it's close

I'm almost there why should I care
my heart is hurting when I share
someone open up
and let it show

My what a good day
for a walk outside
I'd like to think we did it for the better of

You dont form in the wet sand
you dont form at all
you dont form in the wet sand
I do yeah
you dont form in the wet sand
you dont form at all
you dont form in the wet sand
I do

yeah its a good song. i prefer Animal Bar though. That bit in the middle is sweet!

"The travesties that we have seen are treating me like Benzadrine"...I love that lyric. Wet Sand is an incredible song and probably my favorite off of Jupiter. Frusciante is amazing and this song proves why he is hands down the best lead guitarist in any band around right now.

"Wet Sand, this song is ....ing amazing" - amen to that. so is the whole album.

South of Seattle · May 2006

My Favorite Song out of 28

RVM1245 · May 2006

I hope they don't make it a single ('come back' by pj as well)...some things are best kept on the album...best song i have ever heard by them

Wet Sand is awesome awesome. My overall fav on the album, although I love the whole album for the most part. I also agree I don't want it to become a single.

AxlUlrich · May 2006

One of the better tracks on Jupiter but not one of me faves overall and yes definitely not a single.

For me this song is to Stadium Arcadium what Venice Queen is to By The Way.

very very true...
i feel both the last tracks on Stadium Arcadium dont feel like album closers.
Wet Sand should have been the last track

Yeah Death Of A Martian is the one song on this album I actually dont like, it seems(pardon the pun) to die.
Where as Wet Sand just builds beautifully to an excellent finish.

I like that song slightly more than "Hey"
apparently it's aboot Flea's dog Martian who passed away.

Yeah isnt Martian in the Road Trippin video?

chris01 · May 2006

Ive been playing the album in my car so i dont really know the song names cause i dont look at the cover. But as soon as i read the lyrics i recognized what song it was.
Great song, one of many on the album that i love. Frusciante's work on this album is first class.

There are tons better guitarists than John Frusciante.

Mike
Trey Anastasio
Warren Haynes
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez
Marc Ford
Kirk Hammet
Chuck Garvey
Al Schnier
Mikael Akerfeldt-I think the guitarist in Opeth(Got into them recently)
Zakk Wylde
Alex Lifeson
Slash
Daron Malakian
Jack White

The guy in Wolfmother has impressed me a bit, with the little I have heard.

Chili Peppers are a good band. Not my cup of tea, and seemingly really repetitive(dunno if thats the right word). Alotta their songs have the same production qualities.

I havent heard much of John's solo, so if that makes a difference then.........

It's all subjective to taste but I'd throw Josh Homme and Troy Van Leuween up there too but for me McCready and Frusciante stand above all those not by a whole load but certainly by some.:)
