The story behind the song

This song captures the essence of a road trip along the Pacific Coast Highway, a journey taken by Anthony Kiedis, John Frusciante, and Flea. It evokes the feeling of freedom and camaraderie found while surfing at Big Sur, especially significant after Frusciante's return to the band. The entirely acoustic nature of the track, featured on their 1999 album Californication, contributes to its reflective and open-road atmosphere. It plays like a musical postcard from a shared adventure, inviting you to feel the sun and the ocean spray.
