Behind The Sun by Red Hot Chili Peppers

The song was released as part of the Uplift Mofo Party Plan album in 1987, but not released as a single until 1992, as a way of promoting the Chili Peppers What Hits? compilation. A video was also made in 1992 combining animation and footage from the "Higher Ground" video.
This was written by original Chili Peppers members Jack Irons, Hillel Slovak, Anthony Kiedis, and Flea.
Late Guitarist Hillel Slovak played the sitar in this song. >>

Liz from Sydney, AustraliaIf there ever was an epic 80's anthem, this is totally it. The peppers played from their hearts, its just that their hearts were totally drugged up. None the less, this is awesome.
Peter from Penistown, Ilthis song sounds like some sort of LSD trip
Don from San Antonio, TxGreat surf song!
