Hello, I've waited here for you
Everlong
Tonight, I throw myself into
And out of the red, out of her head she sang
Come down and waste away with me
Down with me
Slow how you wanted it to be
I'm over my head, out of her head she sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
Breathe out so I can breathe you in
Hold you in
And now I know you've always been
Out of your head, out of my head I sang
And I wonder
When I sing along with you
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You got to promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
And I wonder
If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I'll ever ask of you
You got to promise not to stop when I say when

Drummers William Goldsmith and Taylor Hawkins, along with guitarist Franz Stahl, are former members of the band. 
Come down and waste away with me? No thanks, Dave, but good luck with that.
such a beautiful song.

It felt like being punched in the gut when I heard about Taylor.
Although Dave plays drums on the studio version, it was Taylor's last ever song he played live. It does hit hard that "if anything could ever be this good again" RIP Taylor Hawkins, certainly the best drummer I've ever seen live.
Rest in peace Taylor Hawkins. You are dearly missed.
It's a couple weeks after Taylor's death and this song just hits different now...and not in a good way.

Completely wrecked over Tyler. If you haven't read Dave's book, The Storyteller, I highly recommend it if you're a fan. He goes in to detail about his incredibly close friendship with Tyler descriptively telling of their world-wide shenanigans over the past 2 decades of touring.

I'm a huge fan of Dave Grohl. Highly recommend his book "The Storyteller". He's a great writer.

must have been feeling a little cranky when i gave this a six. the drumming alone adds a point.
Great tune!, in spite of the fact that it was severely overplayed on the radio!

Hey Montreal,
You better watch it. It's not politically correct to criticize this band.
You are 100% correct (see my previous posts).
This band is immensely boring. They follow same PAAD formula (every song must contain one or more of Pain, Angst, Anger, or Despair). You can predict when it comes in each and every song.
But there is such a HUGE lack of RnR talent, that these guys stuck around and now are anointed as a great band.
Gawd - all their songs sound so f’ing similar. Not that they are they only band about which that is said …. But on top of all of it just sounding like a Dave crescendo … BORING

I had a vaccine. It was not without side effects but nothing to keep me off my feet. Of course, I wasn't asked to put on a 1:45 minute set twice a week.

This song fills me with a profound and intense feeling of mortality... and i love it.

Ahhhh, relief.

This song is on my into infinity soundtrack. <3
It's one of those songs that you just sorta find yourself drumming along to...without even knowing it.

I'm the fantasy drummer.
Grunge does seem to be a particularly apt name for the genre and this in particular... The 'Godfather of Grunge' is more music to my ears.
10 + 10 = 20!
Another overplayed song

have you seen the video of the 10 year old british girl absolutely killing this song? I wish I could post a link- but look up Nandi Bushnell v. Dave Grohl on Everlong. It's awesome.

Clearly, Foo Fighters has put out tons of top notch music. It's a lot more pop than Nirvana wanted to be, and maybe that's part of the angst too?
Great track - and a very good rock album too. I don't understand any Nirvana fans not digging early Foo Fighters. Not as into their newest stuff, but this is raw and full of power!

Foo Fighters music proves that Kurt was the true RnR outsider in Nirvana.
You can really hear the Sunny Day Real Estate chops in the compositions on this album!
No wonder Kurt killed himself... Well, that and Courtney Love...
I just noticed their 'Also known as' name. I don't care who you are, that's funny!

To those that don't "get" this song or the Foo Fighters in general picture this scene...
As a father of 2 teenage sons (15 and 13) sitting up the the balcony with the 13 year old one waiting for the concert to start "dad please can I go into the mosh pit with my brother please?".
"But your mum said that you could only go to the concert if you stayed with me in the balcony."
"Please dad please?".
"Oh alright... but if it starts to get rough I am going down to get you out of there - OK".
The house lights dim then a red floodlight shines on a giant FF logo backdrop behind which Everlong starts quietly in Dave Grohl style, the tension builds, his singing voice gets harsher and the tempo increases, I break out in a cold sweat, then suddenly full white arc lights light the whole place like daylight and the young ones in the mosh pit get supercharged into a seething frenzied mass.
It never ended up as a full scale riot and everything settled down eventually but just for that one moment I thought "what have I done?".
You had to be there and be part of it I suppose.
Happy memories.

Two guys from DC in a row. Intentional?
What Sonic Youth would sound like if a pop band.

Saw them here in Dallas last year. It was one of the the most entertaining, high energy, exiciting shows I've ever been to. Taylor Hawkins, man or machine is what we were asking as we left.

For some reason the chorus of this song totally takes away the magic of the track for me. Probably the chord progression. This seems to work better in the acoustic version, probably because the vocals are way less screamy.

When a band and a song really come together perfectly, you can tell it right away. FFs are a decent band, but this is an example where they really nailed it with great songwriting (music and lyrics) and great performance. First rate track, even if you think this band is overrated.
I forget. On this song are singing about Pain? Or is it Angst? Or is it Anger? Or is it Despair? It's called the PAAD formula and they've been milking it for 20+ years.

It's also puzzling how often he uses the word "hook" in relation to music and apparently doesn't have any idea what the term means. Whether or not one likes this song, it's got more hooks than a tackle box. It doesn't seem he's aware of the definition of "truncated" either, even though he frequently uses that word as well.

They tore old RFK stadium apart on the 4th of July and did to that house the same level of justice that the very first Rock band that played there did nearly 50 years ago.

Chatted briefly with Dave, nice guy and certainly one of the hardest working guys in the music business.

They tore old RFK stadium apart on the 4th of July and did to that house the same level of justice that the very first Rock band that played there did nearly 50 years ago.
Not necessarily a Foo Fighters fan, but RFK was a great show. I'm a bit more of a fan after that. Great song for driving with the radio at 11.
Chatted briefly with Dave, nice guy and certainly one of the hardest working guys in the music business.
EVERY time I think (hope) the opening chords are Sonic Youth...but alas No. They took those chords just about verbatim from SY!
dropped D tuning
quite a lot of fun CRUNCHY

If you feel that this song is too loud, then maybe finnish blackmetal is more your thing? 
Hmmm... success seems to breed contempt for the H8r crowd.

Uh oh...boring, predicable, non-hooky, formulaic,repetitive, truncated, music from the band that somehow gets anointed as the leading RnR band in recent years.
I guess when a huge void exists (good RnR), any thing that enters the space can assume the title.
RnR in 2015...is it dead?

How does sonic wallpaper like this get confused with music? Have our collective ears been beaten to a pulp? This is absolutely banal and I have no idea how an otherwise at least kind of savvy audience can give this a 7.6.

I remember borrowing this album from the library when it came out. It costed me about 2 euro but it was cheaper than buying. Mind you I was 15 back then.
There was a big mister motorgang with tattoos and stuff working at the place at that moment. He stoot out against all the other employees looking like grandmothers and other boring characters. I suspected him to have a social service job after sitting out some jail time. I was a little afraid for him.
He followed me to the exit of the library and I was getting nervous. What does he want from me? I tried to ignore him and just casually look forwards, until his hand touched my shoulder. I turned around and he said: "You have a good taste sir" and we both smiled.
