Red Hot Chili Peppers - Brendan’s Death Song [Official Music Video]

Watch the music video for “Brendan’s Death Song“ now! I’m With You available here: Video directed by Marc Klasfeld and shot in New Orleans, Louisiana in homage of longtime RHCP friend, Brendan Mullen. Mullen is best known as the founder of the Hollywood punk rock club The Masque that he set up and ran from 1977 until it was shut down in 1978 due to the city’s refusal to issue the necessary permits to run it as a legal nightclub. After it’s closure, Mullen spent many years booking shows for Club Lingerie. It was during this time he met Anthony Kiedis and Flea and after hearing their demo, Mullen offered them an opening slot on a Bad Brains show. The Red Hot Chili Peppers credit him as one of their first major supports and giving them their start. Through his support and the many nightclubs he worked out the scene gave birth to not only the Red Hot Chili Peppers but bands like The Go-Go’s, X, The Weirdos and The Germs. © 2012 WMG -- “Brendan’s Death Song“ Lyrics: If I die before I get it done will you decide? Take my words and turn them into signs they will survive, Because a long time ago I knew not to deprive. It’s safe out there now your every where just like the sky, And you are love, you are the lucid dream you are the ride And when you hear this you know it’s your jam it’s your good bye 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 cross when when 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 nights are long but the years are short when you’re alive, Way back when will never be again it was a time. It’s gonna catch you so glad I met you to walk the 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. 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
