4. “Dark Necessities” by Red Hot Chili Peppers

“Dark Necessities” is also featured on the 2016 album “The Getaway.” It was the first single for the album. It topped Billboard’s Rock Airplay, Alternative, Mainstream Rock, and Adult Alternative charts. On the Hot 100, the song peaked at 67.

Anthony Kiedis, a member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, wrote this song about the darkness that is inside his head, including his struggles with addiction.

This song is probably my favorite tune on “The Getaway.” It has funky basslines and extremely catchy verses. The track lasts just over five minutes, and every second is enjoyable. It’s a fantastic song.
