Howard : so is this about Kurt?

[@joevsfood]

I think he actually said that about "My Hero," but yeah, it still applies.

[@Vitorferro1]

hahahahahahahaha

[@U2Jaime1317]

Its actually about when Dave's wife divorced him. He says it in an interview

[@susanclayton7566]

You know, that popped in my head just a minute ago. I agree-I think it could apply, even though it’s apparently about the ex.

I had a T.B.I., Doctors gave me No chance, Moved to 3 hospitals, They told my family to just let me die, Well I did, I died 4 times but only remember the 1st one, This was the last song i got to hear as i died, I woke up 18 days later on life support with this song in my head, Thank you Mr Grohl, You gave me a song and I used it to fight for life.

Dave Grohl played that electric accoustic guitar and sings as if he is one with the instrument. A truly gifted and talented man.

[@jamiehouk6965]

Dave Grohl is the real deal, singing, playing guitar, writing music and playing drums and the piano! There is really no one to compare. The world is a better place for his presence!

He is our John Lennon..

[@Robertgio]

F#^*% yea!

[@krystennawomack9724]

I completely agree

[@rikkifknrobin]

@@drewrbunnI would give that credit to Kurt, not just because John was his favorite beatle. Beautiful music, powerful vocals, taken too soon by tragedy. Dave seems more akin to Paul

he doesn't play piano he even said so

If everything could ever feel this real forever.. Dave Grohl, Legend.

DRUMS, GUITAR, VOICE ... FUCKING ROCK GOD.

[@Wachugi]

I attended the Chris Cornell tribute concert in L.A. back in Jan '19, and after the Foo Fighters did their set, Dave remained onstage by himself and performed this version in Chris' honor. It was magical.

[@raidthanfl]

This is my 1 year old son’s fav song. after the first couple notes he gets so excited and starts rocking out. He cant get enough of it. Hopefully a little of Grohl’s musical magic rubs off on him

[@Thunder_War_]

Update?

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 be this real forever If anything could ever be this good again The only thing I'll ever ask of you You've 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've 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've got to promise not to stop when I say when

[@wolfhaddad7677]

If Dave Grohl was honest “It’s a long story of how I got here but it has something to do with this song” Starts playing smells like teen spirit

[@2cana542]

I think it was got his independent band started and not nirvana cuz he was pretty stuck after kurt died

[@michaelmc2587]

Was his song writing capabilities that took the foo's to where they are bro he means that this song changed things for him from the drummer of nirvana to the front man of a globally recognized rock band

[@sludgerat666]

Damn

[@DEM0NBABY]

I love this

[@wyomingptt]

How do you figure? I mean i get what your saying, that there would be no FF without the success of Nirvana... but I wholeheartedly disagree. He made that first album practically by himself and it's so good I think it would have gotten radio play regardless of the artist. I mean sure did those connections from Nirvana help? Probably.

[@08rbatdorf]

Every time I hear Dave Grohl perform acoustic it almost makes me cry. It's just pure artistic expression and its so genuine. Thanks for existing Dave and for being brave enough to just stand up there and fully be yourself!

Dave is just a great person and I am so happy for his success, he had to be lost when Kurt died... he fought his way back making his own music and now when it's said and done he will be a two time member of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame for Nirvana and The Foo Fighters... Good for you my Brother...
