Brendan's Death Song
MICHAEL BALZARY, ANTHONY KIEDIS, JOSH ADAM KLINGHOFFER, CHAD SMITH
If I die before I get it done
Will you decide
Take my words and turn them into sounds
That will survive
Because a long time ago
I knew not to deprive
It's safe out there and now you're everywhere
Just like the sky
And you are love, you are the love supreme
You are the rise
And when you hear this, you know it's your jam
It's your goodbye
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes
To ferry me away
To where we all belong
We all crossed when we were feeling lost
It's just the time
Kateri cried the day her lover died
She recognized
Because you gave her a life of real love
It's no surprise
The night's are long, but the years are short
When you're alive
Way back when we'll never be again
It was a time
It's gonna catch you so glad I met you
To walk a line
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes
To ferry me away
To where we all belong
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes
To ferry me away
To where we all belong
Let me live so when it's time to die
Even the reaper cries
Let me die so when it's time to live
Another sun will rise
I said yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
I said yeah
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the drummer drums
He's gonna play my song
To carry me along
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
And when the boatman comes
To ferry me away
To where we all belong
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
Like I said you know I'm almost dead
You know I'm almost gone
A Despedida em Melodia: Brendans Death Song' dos Red Hot Chili Peppers
A música Brendan's Death Song dos Red Hot Chili Peppers é uma homenagem póstuma a Brendan Mullen, amigo da banda e figura influente na cena musical de Los Angeles. Mullen foi responsável por dar aos Chili Peppers uma de suas primeiras oportunidades de show no clube que ele gerenciava, o lendário The Masque. A letra da música reflete sobre a mortalidade, a perda e a celebração da vida, elementos frequentemente explorados pela banda em suas composições.
A canção começa com uma reflexão sobre a morte e o legado, questionando se as palavras do narrador sobreviverão após sua partida. A menção ao 'drummer' (baterista) e ao 'boatman' (barqueiro) são metáforas para o fim da vida e a passagem para o além, respectivamente. O baterista tocando a canção simboliza a celebração da vida do narrador, enquanto o barqueiro remete à figura mitológica de Caronte, que na mitologia grega, transporta as almas dos recém-falecidos através do rio que separa o mundo dos vivos do dos mortos.
A música também aborda a ideia de que a vida é efêmera e que os momentos de alegria e amor são preciosos. A história de Katari e seu amor perdido serve como um lembrete da dor que acompanha a perda, mas também da beleza do amor verdadeiro. A repetição do refrão 'Like I said, you know I'm almost dead, you know I'm almost gone' funciona como um mantra de aceitação da mortalidade. A banda, conhecida por seu estilo de rock alternativo com influências de funk, punk e psicodélico, utiliza a música para expressar sentimentos universais de despedida e memória, criando uma obra que toca profundamente aqueles que já enfrentaram a perda.
