Dark Necessities

Hello,

My friend @uwelang, a music lover who also likes rock, has created a new tag #RockBest where people talk about their favourite rock songs. This should increase interaction on the platform, especially among music lovers.

I have many favourite songs. One of them is ‘Dark Necessities’ by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's different from the songs I've featured so far because it's a bit newer and has a different style. I like about six songs by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, including this one. I think the melody and the lyrics suit my personality, because I also have a dark side that sometimes pops up.

And now to the song. The band usually produce their songs themselves, but for this masterpiece they enlisted the help of Brian Burton, also known as Danger Mouse. He has already produced many good things and is a real artist.

What is your favourite rock song?

Hallo,

Mein Freund @uwelang, ein Musikliebhaber, der auch Rock mag, hat einen neuen Tag #RockBest kreiert, wo man über seine Lieblings-Rock-Songs spricht. Das sollte die Interaktion auf der Plattform erhöhen, vor allem unter Musikliebhabern.

Ich habe viele Lieblingslieder. Eines davon ist „Dark Necessities” von den Red Hot Chili Peppers. Es unterscheidet sich von den Liedern, die ich bisher vorgestellt habe, denn es ist etwas neuer und hat einen anderen Stil. Von den Red Hot Chili Peppers mag ich ungefähr sechs Lieder, dieses eingeschlossen. Ich finde, dass die Melodie und der Text zu meiner Person passen, denn ich habe auch eine dunkle Seite, die manchmal aufpopt.

Und nun zum Lied. Üblicherweise produziert die Band ihre Lieder selbst, für dieses Meisterwerk hat sie jedoch die Unterstützung von Brian Burton, auch bekannt als Danger Mouse, in Anspruch genommen. Er hat bereits viele gute Sachen produziert und ist ein richtiger Künstler.

Welches ist euer Lieblingsrocklied?

And now the lyrics to Dark Necessities

Comin′ out to the light of day we got
Many moons that are deep at play, so I
Keep an eye on the shadow's smile to see what it has to say
You and I both know
Everything must go away
A-what do you say?

Spinning off, head is on my heart
It′s like a bit of light in a touch of dark you got
Sneak attacked from the zodiac but I see your eyes spark
Keep the breeze and go
Blow by blow and go away
A-what do you say?

Yeah, you don't know my mind, you don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design and
Tell the world that I′m falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design

Stumble down to the parking lot, you got
No time for the afterthought, they′re like
Ice cream for an astronaut, well that's me looking for weed
Turn the corner and
Find the world and show command
Playing the hand

Yeah, you don′t know my mind, you don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
Tell the world that I′m falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design

Do you want this love of mine?
Darkness helps us all to shine
Do you want it, do you want it now?
Do you want it overtime?
But darkness helps us all to shine
Do you want it, do you want it now?

Pick you up like a paperback, with the
Track record of a maniac, so I
Moving in and we unpack, it's the same as yesterday
Honey, where we roll
Everything must go away
A-what do you say?

Yeah, you don′t know my mind, you don't know my kind
Dark necessities are part of my design
Tell the world that I'm falling from the sky
Dark necessities are part of my design
