Hello, music lovers! 🎵
On #threetunestuesday, I reflect on the music I listened to growing up and the music I had access to. And when something reminds me of moments from my youth, I try to relive those memories through music.
I’ve been following this band for almost 40 years.

It's a music initiative started by 
Every Tuesday I'm going to share 3 songs that I like to listen to, and I invite your feedback in the comments below. Better still, why not have a blast of your own Three Tune Tuesday and mention me in the post and I'll come and find the post and upvote it. If you could also use #threetunetuesday tag that would be great, as that is what I use when sifting through all the entries every Wednesday. It'll be a sweet way for us all to discover new music.

Of all the bands I’ve mentioned in #ttt, this is probably the most famous worldwide. The Red Hot Chili Peppers—or RHCP for short—have been playing since 1982; they’ve released 13 studio albums, won 3 Grammys, and racked up many AMA, MTV Awards, and Brit Awards, among others.
They’ve had their ups and downs—initial struggles with drugs, issues with record labels, members coming and going—but after their global breakthrough in 1991 with their fifth album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, their popularity has only increased.

Some of their songs that I used to listen to (and still do).
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication
The song is from their seventh studio album of the same name, released in 1999. It became a global hit and remains their most-played track today; on Spotify, it has surpassed 2.18 billion streams, and on YouTube, it was their first song to exceed 1 billion views.
The melody is light and catchy, yet also deep, melancholic, and quite critical of Hollywood as the center of pop culture and contemporary (at the time) consumer society.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under The Bridge
“Under The Bridge” is a song from their fifth album, Blood Sugar Sex Magik, released in 1991. It was through this song that I got to know—or rather, discovered—the RHCP. Through this ballad, they went from a local Los Angeles funk-punk band to a global sensation, even though it wasn’t originally intended for the album—it was just a diary entry.
The story is personal and very emotional, and it deals with loneliness and addiction.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Give It Away
“Give It Away” is also on their fifth album. I listened to that album a lot—I still do—and I think they truly deserve their place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
It’s energetic, explosive funk rock with an aggressive, rhythmic bass line and a positive message (by Nina Hagen): “If you have something beautiful, you have to pass it on, because that creates space for new positive energy.”

And as a bonus, a single from the eleventh album, The Getaway, from 2016.
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dark Necessities

That's all for now — keep enjoying the music and prepare yourself for winter!
