Lifted from the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ tenth studio album, this song is a tribute to Brendan Mullen, founder of a seminal LA punk club called The Masque. While it retains the deftly orchestrated funk style that has defined the Chili Peppers for 20 long years, Brendan’s Death Song is a very sweet tune featuring a collection of simple but affecting lyrics. You can tell they really cared about him.
