30-Day Song Challenge 2: Day 4 - A song for a sunny day: Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Californication

It was the summer of 2000, I'd just broken up with my first proper girlfriend and was feeling rather glum about it. Taking a bit of cash into town in an effort to cheer myself up, and came home with Red Hot Chilli Pepper's 1999 album, Californication.

It did the trick too, and after several repeated listens, Anthony Keidis & co. had put the smile back on my face and suddenly the summer seems a lot brighter.

Fast forward over a decade later, and I'm still reminded of bright summers whenever I listen to this.

Please enjoy.
