| Knock Me down and Taste the Pain are the two most emontional songs the chilis ever wrote(o and Under the Bridge). This one makes me cry. The Chilis have been through alot of Shit but they still manage to make great music. If they didn't exsist their story would make a amazing book. I like the bass line of this song it sort of moves the song along. Didn't like this song at the start but it really grows on you. I agree with stringcheese eater this is the chilis best work. Keep on at it. | |

| Also, when you do alot of heroine or coke, it hurts the insides of your throat and mouth, and it fucks up your sense of taste (everything tastes like shit). When you feel terrible, the drugs multiply your emotions: You could taste the pain of losing Hillel. | |

| Tony wrote it after Hillel died. "Aren't you glad you wern't afraid" is about how he never thought he didnt really think of what could ahppen to him or his friends. "Funny how the price gets paid". The price that was paid is Hillel's life. He's walking away from drugs and feeling the pain of losing Hillel. He was off drugs for quite a while. In rehab the therapist guy or whoever said that only one person out of the whole thing would stay clean from then on, and Anthony swore hed be that one person. Too bad he was wrong. But he is off them now. I love this song. | |

| i love johns harmonizing in the chorus... and is it just me or is the cool little outro good enough to be a little "ditty" of its own? after i listened to this for the first time, i couldnt help playing the last 20 or so seconds over and over again cause its so groovy. | |
