A truly haunting and profound composition, knowing the story behind this song really makes you buckle. Something about the perils of addiction when they come under the cross hairs of mortality that can strike you into an existential collapse. We're all doomed anyways.
@RHCPFreaklol you know i used to think that, melodically (and lyrically) there wasn't song most sadest than scar tissue, then i heard soul to squeeze and i was like ok this is very depresing but in a melancholy way.....but this one i don't know how to describe this one xd...it just kills you, know what i mean? one of the RHCP 's best song , great queality ....great post!! thank you!!
NoONE plays like the RHCP! so much emotion and thought put into each song. songs like these show their talent, simple lines but maximum musical effect.
This is probably gonna sound really geeky, but I always pictured John sort of...singing this to himself along with Anthony. I've read Scar Tissue, so I know what this song is ACTUALLY about, but parts of it are so appropriate to his story, like the "are you wasting away in your skin" line. And when he comes in at 1:38 with that gorgeous harmony, I always picture Frusciante singing like he's trying to reassure himself...crazy and geeky, I know.
@twardy90 i dont use firefox anymore, i use chrome. and i just type "endless" before the word youtube in the web address. it takes you to a site that just repeats the song. way easier.
"Porcelain" resulted after Kiedis met a young mother at the YMCA, who was attempting to battle her alcohol addiction whilst living with her infant daughter
@wojtek0000 what's a "pocher"? did you mean "poacher"? DUMBASS! HAHAHAHH AHAHAHHA LEARN TO SPELL YOU RETARD! GEEZ WHAT A TOOL! YOU CAN'T EVEN SPELL POACHER! LMAO WOW! Seriously though, kill yourself... you contribute nothing to society with your 2nd grade spelling skills and bad attitude.
Ok so i left out the 'a'. I must die for being human. And calm down. Didn't know you get a hard-on when you see typos. And that was a joke you fucking ignoramus.
@wojtek0000 You also forgot to add a comma after "pochers in Africa". It should have been, "it's about poachers in Africa, you dumb-ass."
Also, to correct what you just said. "Okay, So i left out the "a". I should die for being human. Calm down, I didn't know you get a hard-on when you see a typo. It was a joke, you fucking ignoramus."
Which, also, is stupid... do the world a favor, and don't reproduce.
@letsallmove2canada same here im 13 and this is the first time ive listened to this. i feel like i am floating on air when i listen to this song because its so calm. i kno wat its about but still... RHCP you guys are geniuses
the first time i heard this i was wit my best friend chillin, smokin a joint, relaxed as fuck. now everytime i hear this it brings back memories of that time. love this song 5/5
@emoxxtaco How could you think that??? This song is so beutifuly sad, and in someways happy. The bottom line, this song is so soft and delicate. and you think they were high when they made this. No offence, but I find that rather insulting.
I already know that if I have a girl when I get older, I am naming her Porcelain, then later tell her about what she was named after. Although I still have I while to go, I am only 12 years old. I would also name my second girl Violet.
A Dreamy Sleep anthem... It's soft and hush like a midnight whisper...it carries a subtle beauty to it as the words caress your sleeping thoughts... Poetic...
definitely my favorite soft RHCP song. This is amazing, the lyrics are the greatest. I love RHCP with everything they do. Just... awesome. Thanks for posting!
