[Talking about a RHCP album] Next up is another long, free-form cut full of lush colors and stunning groove mutations. “It might be called ‘Transcending’,’’ says Flea. “I wrote it for River Phoenix - he was my best friend. I think it’s my favourite.”  

(…)

“Once River came to me and said, ‘Look, Flea, there’s something I really need to talk to you about. I think I should play rhythm guitar for you guys- it would really fill out the sound.’ He seemed really serious. I was just stammering, not knowing what to say, and then he just started laughing. He’d just wanted to see me sweat.”

(…)

“[River Phoenix] was someone that I was very close to and someone that I loved very much. And someone I was lucky to spend lots of great time with doing really cool things. I’ll always love him, I think about him all the time and he means a lot to me.”

- Flea on River in a 1994 interview for NME.

Flea and River were both in the cast of “My Own Private Idaho” and bonded during the shoot with long after-hours jam sessions. The night of River’s fatal overdose at the Viper Room nightclub in Hollywood, Flea rode in the ambulance to the hospital with him. “Transcending” by Red Hot Chili Peppers, found on the One Hot Minute album (1995), is the bassist’s tribute to his friend, with lyrics that include “Smartest fucker I ever met” and “I called you hippie, you said fuck off.”

QUESTION: Define ‘Best Friend’.

RIVER: “Someone you can tell all your secrets to. For me it’s a guy you enjoy being with, a guy you love and a guy you care about. Keanu is my buddy, dude.”

KEANU: “I’ve always loved you, River. River is my best friend and I don’t have many of them.”

RIVER: “That’s really sweet, Keany.”
