Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
Song: Turn It Again
Album: Stadium Arcadium
Mood: Motivated
Life always seems to get the best of us; no matter how hard we work or how much we care, the grass will always seem to be greener on the other side. Consumerism has created a “blind leading the blind” sort of social scheme and so in a brief lapse of vulnerability we mechanically condoned a system which ultimately ended up consuming us and eating us up right from the root instead. It is materialism that has gotten both you and I confused. It is the need to consistently acquire more and more that has made us lose focus. It is time for us to take control again and this song, quite conveniently, urges you to turn stuff around now!
The funky syncopation, combined with a punk rock motif played by the lead guitar, make this song a great motivator. The drums are as crisp as always and the bass, oh that bass — well, let’s just say that the bass line well get you on your feet no questions asked. The lyrics, however, are the decisive factor in this song for clearly within their abstract power lies the prowess of a truth that will make one yearn for self-improvement and self-possession. This song tells you to take control. This song tells you that no matter how bad you have it you can always bring it back around. Turn it again, folks. Trip, fall, get up, repeat. Turn it again, and again, and again, and… you get the point.
