}} "Soul to Squeeze" is a song by the American rock band Red Hot Chili Peppers that was originally recorded during the production of their fifth studio album, ''Blood Sugar Sex Magik'' (1991). Although it was not featured on the record—and compiled as a b-side to "Give It Away" and "Under the Bridge"—"Soul to Squeeze" was later released as a single in 1993 to coincide with its inclusion on the ''Coneheads'' film soundtrack, a soundtrack which predominantly contained previously released B Sides from Warner artists, and was eventually re released for the 2003 ''Greatest Hits'' album. It can also be found on the band's ''Live Rare Remix Box'' and ''The Plasma Shaft''. The song became an unexpected success when it peaked at number one on the U.S. Modern Rock Tracks, where it remained for 5 non-consecutive weeks making it only the second number one for the band following Give It Away. The single also peaked at number twenty-two on the Hot 100 and number seven on the Mainstream Rock chart. "Soul to Squeeze" remains one of the band's most popular songs. It made its live debut in 1998 when John Frusciante returned to the band and has been heavily played on every tour since then. ==Composition== The song's intro is played in A major. The verse then shifts into F major following the progression F, C, Dm, Bb maj7, Dm, F, C, Gm(9). The solo has a melody similar to that of the vocals of the song. The chorus follows a similar progression of F, C, Dm, B-flat but with a bass-line melody that evokes an Am in the second half of the bar containing C. This allows the vocal melody over the words "know" and "mind" to contain a pentamerous supertonic note. This note over the dominant chord in the guitar is a rare combination, giving the chorus its distinctly mournful sound. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Soul to Squeeze」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
