"Behind the Sun" is a song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their 1987 album, The Uplift Mofo Party Plan although was not released as a single until 1992 when it was used to promote the band's What Hits!?
During March 2012, The Weather Channel began using an instrumental demo version of the song as background music for its Local on the 8s segments.
John Frusciante and Chad Smith appear in the video even though they didn't play on the song and were not with the band at the time it was recorded.
In 1987, the band gave a lip-synched performance of "Behind the Sun" at the United Cerebral Palsy Telethon.
Flea explained in an interview that the band wasn't pleased with how the song sounded live.
