During the By the Way tour, the song was played extensively at virtually all live concerts. Since the release of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' newest album, Stadium Arcadium (and its subsequent tour), however, "The Zephyr Song" has since been completely removed and detached from any set lists. However the song was included as part of a set list on the 22nd of April 2007 in New Zealand at the Vector Arena. The band began the song with John Frusciante playing the opening riff, but didn't continue to play the rest of the song after Anthony Kiedis said into the microphone "Nah, not this one". It was stated in reviews and the press that Anthony Kiedis was suffering from throat problems and that it affected some of his performances, which may have been a factor in why "The Zephyr Song" was not played.

Just a piece of leg to bite on
What a night to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash your light on?
Take a look, it's on display for you
Coming down, no, not today
Did you meet your fortune teller
Get it off with no propeller
Do it up, it's on with Stella
What a way to finally smell her
Pick it up, but not too strong for you
Take a piece and pass it on
Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
Fly on my wind
Rebel and a liberator
Find a way to be a skater
Rev it up to levitate her
Super friendly aviator
Take a look, it's on display for you
Coming down, no, not today
Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
In the water, where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We'll find a place together
(Whoa) whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, do you
(Yeah) yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Whoa) whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, want to?
(Yeah) yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Fly away on my zephyr
I feel it more than ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
In the water where I center my emotion
All the world can pass me by
Fly away on my zephyr
We're gonna live forever
Forever
The Zephyr Song by Red Hot Chili Peppers is a complex song that talks about various things, but it seems to revolve around the idea of finding and expressing freedom through different means.

This song was playing in the car when friends & I got in an accident many years ago. A truck slammed our car on the passenger side where I was sitting. I'll never forget that surreal feeling during the moment of impact, whirling around in the car with glass breaking, bracing myself for the worst (my door was caved in). And then the car finally stops moving, and all I remember was that this song was still playing... and it was the most eerily - beautiful reminder that I was still alive......Long live RHCP<3
