during a recording session break,flea started playing a cool bass line,then chad joined in,then john,and then I started repeatedly saying "give it away give it away give it away now" we knew we had a song in the midst
or something like that
the story of what give it away comes from is something too long to fit
uhhhh, i go by SOUND not TABS. to me, the ending sounded similar to sweet leaf. i guess i kind went overboard calling them unoriginal and stuff. i just hate when people steal from other great bands
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
fuck these guys! they stole the ending from Sweet Leaf by Black Sabbath. The guitar riff is played note for note from that song. way to steal from a phenominal song, you dochebags. come up with something creative next time. then i won't hate you anymore.
when anthony is saying give it away it is from when this girl he was hanging with gave him her best jacket that he liked and she said that you have to give things away because it gives energy so kiedis always tries to remember to literally give it away.
Hot song, and it is about a lot of things, mostly givin away love, and love can be sex, but can also have nothing to do with sex... also, stuff, who needs it!. I love this song, always will.
Idk dude...thats some pretty kinky shit if it is a sex song, think im going with the "friends give it away theory"
I just now realized copy pasting those original three lines and changing the last word woulda been a lot faster...guess explaining it makes this comment even longer to write. w/e
i love this song
i love this sounds
