Red Hot Chili Peppers - Rivers Of Avalon Lyrics






Deep inside these sleeping shallows
Far away where no one goes, now
Take my place in golden space
Of TV star that no one knows, now
Deep, deep mystery is talking to me
She's a giver of constant animation
All around and ready to make a new formation
You're the reason I'm in this world

I don't believe in everything I see
Rivers Of Avalon
Your supernatural energy
Part of my scenery
What I belong to is your ecstasy
Rivers Of Avalon
Your faith unwavering is key

The clone of my own loneliness has got to fade
What am I known to?
Little garland and in your starling
Loving waves that I've succumbed to
Deep, deep mystery is talking to me
She's a giver of constant adulation
All around and ready to make a new formation
You're the reason I'm in this world

I don't believe in everything I see
Rivers Of Avalon
Your supernatural enegy
Part of my scenery
What I belong to is your ecstasy
Rivers Of Avalon
Your faith unwavering is key
What do you see in me?

Deep, deep mystery is talking to me
She's a giver of constant animation
All around and ready to make a new formation
You're the reason I'm in this world

I don't believe in everything I see
Rivers Of Avalon
Your supernatural enegy
Part of my scenery
What I belong to is your ecstasy
Rivers Of Avalon
Your fathom wavering is key

I don't believe in everything I see
Rivers Of Avalon
Your supernatural enegy
All that it means

    What happen if...?
    This Is The Place and Save The Population have a son.

  3. J.... A....

    welcome back John!

    INTERNET PRAISES

  5. L.... V....

    Dentro de um buraco
    Me afundei nas profundezas do oceano
    E todos que falavam sobre a morte
    Estavam errados
    Eu vi, e tudo o que eles disseram
    Foi como tomar ectasy no frio
    Você sente seus pés descalços
    E sua mente voa tão longe como se estivesse fazendo bang jump
    Você tenta me matar com tantas informações
    E eu escolho não acreditar que há vida correndo nesse rio de solidão
    Nós somos jovens demais para morrer
    Sem acreditar, que aja uma esperança,
    Um lugar bom para se morar

  6. D.... W....

    So many gems.

  7. G.... G....

    Caralho pq essa obra prima ficou de B-Side?

  8. M.... C....

    I’ve been a fan for since 2016 and it’s only today that I discovered this masterpiece

  9. a.... ....

    Rivers of RHCP songs 💓

  10. f.... ....

    in my opinion one of the best bsides

  11. M.... L....

    this song is good to drink milk to

    M.... L....

    I agree

  12. b.... ....

    I wish they’d release a b sides album, so sick of having to go on YouTube instead of Spotify

  13. B.... ....

    holy shit this is the first time i am hearing this. i thought i knew them all.

  14. y.... m....

    I specialy come to youtube for this song owwhhh god why is it not on spotify

  15. S.... ....

    When he says the title of the song it’s straight out of this is the place

    S.... ....

    Yes it is. That's why they didn't include it on the album.
    "rivers of avalon" is the exact same melody as
    "caught in a flashing ray" bridge part to "this is the place"

  16. S.... S....

    Hi John. Thanks for the upload and for loving me. 🙏✌😇😇❤☀✨✨✨✨✨

  17. L.... f....

    perfectos ♥ es la primera vez que escucho esta música de los red hot y eso que soy fan de la banda desde años jamás dejan de soprenderme los amo infinitamenteeeeeeeeeeeeeee♥

  18. M.... S....

    I don't care what anyone says to me. Give me any name of any band in the world. Red Hot Chili Peppers are in a league of their own.

  19. J.... G....

    FunkyBlackCat video da MOAB 🐱🇧🇷

  20. r.... p....

    The guitar riff sounds like the bassline of lovesong

  21. F.... ....

    So, are the RHCP ashamed of their B-Sides or something, because I can’t find like 98.8% of them anywhere.

    F.... ....

    They're on YouTube. Type them in the search bar.

  22. N.... S....

    I reaaally dont need any "new era pepper songs" just give me all the previously unreleased music, the greatest hits session and well... just everything else from johns time with the band :)

  23. J.... V....

    2019!??

  24. A.... a....

    Fuck yeah the by the way B sides. Should have been disc 2.

  25. L.... R....

    the intro to this is on repeat in my head

  26. N.... S....

    I think the reason this amazing song wasn’t included on BTW is because the chorus is too similar to the bridge of this is the place.... listen to the melodies of the two

    “I don’t believe in everything I see, rivers of Avalon”
    “I saw you out there yesterday, what did you wanna say”

  27. L.... A....

    Is this some kind of cover ?

  28. Z.... ....

    WHY IT'S NOT IN BY THE WAY !!!???

  29. S.... S....

    Rhcp has better bsides than album tracks

  30. A.... A....

    If this is a B side I can't imagine what songs was deleted :(

  31. B.... J....

    This sounds like it could be one of frusciantes solo songs from 2004, but with Anthony’s voice. A lot of By the Way was like that

    B.... J....

    Because John wrote most of it. Including bass. That's why all the bass parts (except for can't stop) don't sound like Flea wrote them, because he didn't.

    B.... J....

    Also, By The Way wasn't released in 2004.

  32. R.... S....

    Funky pegando M.O.AB. o/

  33. a.... g....

    Anthony's voice is just incredible 😍

  34. k.... ....

    should of been on by the way

  35. L.... A....

    The vocal performance by Anthony in BTW era is formidable! so softly like in I could die for you, so intense like Don't Forget Me or so rough like in "Nothing to lose"

  36. G.... G....

    FUNKYBLACKCAT!

    RHCP B-Sides are better than most bands popular songs.

    Bitchin' tune indeed.

  41. H.... R....

    This is the B-side of "This is the place" ?

    H.... R....

    The Zephyr Song

  42. A.... S....

    probably is because frusciante is more than all an incredible and productive songwriter

  43. A.... S....

    crazy how many songs, all actually good, those guys wrote (with john, sorry josh!)...

  44. S.... G....

    Guitar reminds me of The Cure.

  45. R.... ....

    so dope its crazy how many things there are to discover about them

  46. M.... R....

    Most underrated RHCP song ever.

  47. b.... ....

    One of their best b-sides. If they release a b-side compilation album I'm gabbing it the second I can

    I found the bsides when I needed them love the chilli's

  50. J.... A....

    There's Josh on the keyboard in the beginning

    J.... A....

    Nop, look it up :)

    J.... A....

    Josh was only on tour as a backup guitarist, he had no actual part in the studio recordings like this song. Also I'm pretty sure he didn't even join until the stadium Arcadium tour as a backup guitarist.

    J.... A....

    Vojin Jovanovic
    I'm fairly certain you're wrong man. Wherever you got that information is false. I actually believe you'd be hard pressed to find a pre-2007 video with Josh onstage with them. MAYBE 2006, but certainly no earlier. He's hung out with the band since at least 99', but didn't join them onstage until 07'. There may have been once or twice (though not to my knowledge), but certainly not a steady thing like you seem to think it was.

    J.... A....

    Doesn't matter. John did most of the keyboards for this album.

    J.... A....

    Yeah I’m pretty sure that John did most of the keyboard on this Album.

    E claro

    S.... L....

    Só eu de br q não tô aqui pelo Funky e sim por Red Hot?

    S.... L....

    conheço por ambos

  54. L.... A....

    los Red Hot Chili Peppers le dieron un nuevo significado a la palabra "B-side"

    L.... A....

    Y Bowie?

    L.... A....

    Los dos :v

    L.... A....

    Totalmente

    L.... A....

    So true

  55. G.... O....

    Why B-sides (like this one) are better than the album songs? I think they don't know how to choose them and pick the less good ones...

    G.... O....

    It isn't the Chili's fault. The management choose the songs that go on the album and this is why songs like Quixoticelixer don't end up on the album, rather as iTunes exclusives or Singles B-sides.

  56. L.... M....

    B-sides are only in vinyl?

    L.... M....

    No, I bought "The Zephyr Song" single in CD form when I was a kid and it came on that too. :)

  57. F.... A....

    Great Song

  58. H.... H....

    The chilis are me heroine

  59. W.... ....

    I don't believe in everything I see on the internet! This song's supernatural energy comes from B-Side?! Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope

  60. A.... M....

    their b-side compilation is probably as good as mast bands greatest hits album

    A.... M....

    Wrong! Rhcp b-side compilation is much better :)

  61. G.... H....

    still my favorite

    J.... K....

    Have you ever heard Quixoticelixer? Same story dude!

    J.... K....

    scott gossett yes i have there are a ton like "over funk" and "leverage of space" and " mini epic" that imo should have made it to an A side

    J.... K....

    'cause the word "B" means Brillant!!! so..this & the others B-sides is brillant sides!

    J.... K....

    @scott gossett have you ever heard Bunker Hill? same case

  68. T.... ....

    Once you hear the B-sides,
    You're hooked

    Then John's backing vocals combined with Anthony's ;( ;) ♡

  71. E.... ....

    This is da song.

  72. A.... ....

    @funkyblackcat

  73. A.... ....

    While it is a great song (one of my favorites by them actually), I can see why this didn't make the album. It just doesn't have the right feel for By the Way, it doesn't match the fast-paced funk of the title track, Can't Stop, and Throw Away Your Television, and it doesn't go with the slower style of songs like Tear or Midnight. The only thing on the album I can think of that fits with this stylistically is On Mercury (which honestly shouldn't be on the album either), and even then it's only marginally similar. Still a great song, though.

    A.... ....

    Upon reading this, I understand exactly what you're saying. I love 'On Mercury', incidentally!

    A.... ....

    AlmostHuman102 that may be right but, why hold anything back.. after all, they're the chillies .. give us more

  74. B.... B....

    This is probably their most underrated By the Way era song along with Body of Water.

    B.... B....

    @*****
    Great minds think alike I suppose.....

    B.... B....

    @*****
    Great choice. For me it's between Rivers of Avalon, Time, and Quixoticelicer.

    B.... B....

    @*****
    Yup. They should just release a B-Side compilation already to be honest.....

    B.... B....

    @*****
    Yup classic stuff lol.

  75. M.... T....

    o how can one fucking band provide me with incredible songs to discover for years on end I started listening to these guys in second grade here I am discovering this at 18. thought I knew it all.

    M.... T....

    Major Tom ever gave John's solo albums a try? the best stuff too man, especially his songs that aren't on his albums like dying song

    M.... T....

    all 18 years think they know everything

    M.... T....

    I'm 18 and I'm well aware I don't know shit

    M.... T....

    @Southern Fried Funky Monk JOHN IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!

    M.... T....

    @Akhil Nambiar I KNOW!!!! I feel like a little school girl I'm so excited.

  76. F.... M....

    Damn... I thought I knew all their songs, and then I find this. Awesome!

  77. J.... I....

    I can't believe this didn't make the album :o ...Just can't believe it.....

    J.... I....

    2 years later... but leverage of space was going to be part of an album that never got released

    J.... I....

    Gonzalo Aranda any more info on that album that was never released? Like more songs from it and the year it was being worked on etc? Thanks!

    J.... I....

    @I crush Snowflakes I think it was called The Organic Soundball.

    J.... I....

    By the way is a masterpiece and already has 16 songs...guess they could've made it a double album!

    J.... I....

    I think is not about how good a song is, but the concept of the album. About the by the way songs..

    A.... ....

    quando ele disse isso?

    A.... ....

    ?? me explica a relação do funky com isso

    A.... ....

    é um video de cod daqueles antigos q ele terminava com uma musica diferente (uma delas é essa)

    A.... ....

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhr_qhxOhG0 nesse vídeo

    A.... ....

    Bicho, que saudade dessa época

  81. P.... J....

    Reminds me of 'This is the place"

    P.... J....

    Maybe that’s why they didn’t add it to the album because it sounded familiar to this is the place? Heck they did that to soul to squeeze because it sound similar to under the bridge

    P.... J....

    @xAWAMx True

    P.... J....

    Far more upbeat and better.

    P.... J....

    @Shane Cheung
    It sounds nothing like Under The Bridge.

    P.... J....

    @jjwp 1988 the tempo is fairly the same.

  82. J.... M....

    A LP has 2 sides, Side A & Side B, the therm is used for the songs that are at a single, and those songs can be a remix or a new song

  83. J.... K....

    that would be amazing!

  84. l.... f....

    how the hell this song was not on the album?

  85. t.... ....

    Sounds a little bit like "This is the place" by them too :)

    t.... ....

    Could be why they didn't put it on the album??

    t.... ....

    I think the same

  86. G.... ....

    this one sounds so 90s for me =)

  87. F.... ....

    some one disliked this song? I don't believe in everything I see

  88. W.... 1....

    It would have like 53 songs

  89. L.... ....

    That one dislike was probably a directioner.

  90. o.... ....

    This riff is so awesome.

  91. C.... ....

    It comes from the old days when an album was recorded on vinyl, and the artist would put their best work on the top or "A-side" and they would record their work that they didn't consider as good (or in some cases just an instrumental) to fill the space on the opposite, or "B-side". The term is just used as slang now for songs that aren't on the official album. Protip: google youtube converter and get your B-sides that way

    C.... ....

    protip!

  92. M.... S....

    watch?v=amgP8SJJdG8 there is the link just copy it from the comment and delete everything after the / after dot com.

  93. M.... S....

    A b-side is the opposiute side of a hit on a 45 record the hit is the a-side and the b-side is the unreleased music deemed unfit for the charts. It wasn't released officially but it is rare sometimes to find one actually. Having the original B-side on a single can be rare in other words. It's not just a RHCP thing but their B-sides are really good actually some like gong li, this song, million miles of water, dosed, funny face, lately. I have a link to a b-side compilation of 23 of their b-sides

  94. J.... D....

    yes you are right about that, there are 2 versions of the song but are still the same song

  95. O.... ....

    Desecration Smile was on Stadium wasn't it?

  96. J.... D....

    You know there that good of a band when they produce songs like joe, gong li, and desecration smile (just my favs) and they'er the unused songs on there albums

    J.... D....

    Joe D.oreo Desecration Smile is on Stadium.

  97. J.... D....

    lol its not a RHCP thing

  98. B.... ....

    how did this not qualify for by the way?!

  99. f.... ....

    you spelled ALL wrong.

  100. A.... T....

    I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS SONG, LOVE LOVE LOVE *-*
