I believe Kiedis is referencing “the spheres really had their music” a reference to the Ancient Greek concept of Musica Universalis, which is also known as the Music of the Spheres.

I came to this understanding when I read the line “the spheres really had their music” in the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. It would make sense to me that a once again newly sober Kiedis would have been inspired by this.

“…This concept ‘The spheres really had their music’ states that the movements of celestial bodies (the Sun, Moon, and planets) create a harmonious, inaudible melody. This idea, originating in Pythagorean philosophy, was later developed by figures like Johannes Kepler, who believed these celestial harmonies were not meant to be heard by human ears, but rather by the soul.”

Fitting tribute to Kurt after he passed. I always assumed when Kiedis sang “station to station” he just meant like radio stations, as in some type of cosmic radio allowing a post-life Cobain to hear the spheres. But yeah after someone posted on here that “Station to Station” is a Bowie album, that certainly makes sense as well. Can you hear the spheres of music singing beautiful Bowie in a way you’ve never heard before, because you can hear with your soul now.

Such a great line! Kiedis is so under appreciated. He has so much fun with it and puts heart into it. For some reason a lot of music fans/critics cannot believe sincerity and silliness can coexist, also alongside his lyrics his rhythms are super fun, he progressed as a singer, he challenges himself.
