He plays an old guitar
With a coin found by the phone
It was his friend's guitar
That he played

Dave still plays this song like its his first time writing it. He never loses the meaning when he sings it with his soul.

"He says nevermind And no one speaks".

[@JayZombie1216]

I really like how Dave painted a picture with the lyrics in this song. First line in the first verse, Kurt. Second line in the song, Dave playing in the room. Next line is Kurt again. I drink too much...when he tells his two best friends is Krist. What a great picture of that time. Dave is a really great songwriter. Hence why Foos are still here.

[@ultimaIXultima]

Miss you Kurt. And thanks Dave. You da man!

[@deadmansswitch2748]

I miss Kurt everyday. Pulled me though the 90s as a teenager going through a very tough and troubled time since the 80s. You and Krist are legends. I went to Seattle for my 21st birthday back in 2001 (from London) and met Mark Arm in the Crocodile Cafe. I miss that whole grunge / punk rock scene.

[@TheBorwig]

This is one of the greatest songs ever written IMO. Simple chord progression, simple to understand lyrics yet super heavy on both fronts.

[@dustypan83]

I’ve been in a spiraling depression. Recently quit drinking and trying to find some kind of clarity in life. Been so hyper fixated on life and death. I’ve been thinking about if I’m doing a good enough job for my kids. Am I providing good enough. Are we going to have another Christmas where I feel like a failed father? Probably. Been thinking about what happens after death. Been very afraid lately. This song gave me a relaxed feeling I’ve needed for a long time now. Came out of no where I didn’t know where to look for the comfort I’ve needed lately. Basically felt so lost. Have all these weird ideas and feelings going on in my head. Thanks Dave for this I truly needed this. ❤

[@83thechaz]

If the line “He’s never been in love, but he knows just what love is” does concern Kurt then it breaks my heart because those are the best people who can give and deserve 💯 pure love. Godbless you Kurt. Your fans; admirers of your art have nothing but pure love for your music and you as a person

[@joanneott1689]

Dave was Kurt's room mate for quite a while. I could be wrong, but I believe Dave was pretty in tune with Kurt's strengths and weaknesses. Definitely a rough time and an AMAZING time for Nirvana. Rest In Peace, beautiful man. You left us much too soon. We play your music to honor you and enjoy it so much

[@Tomnedreb]

In memory of his time in Nirvana. Beautiful song and performance. Still miss Kurt!

[@msminmichigan]

Not quite. He wrote this song in 1990 a few months after joining Nirvana.

[@83thechaz]

This song still hits me after all these years, and I can still remember where I was and what I was doing when I heard the news. They say some artists relive the happiness or pain, like a unique ptsd, each time they sing their music or a writer when he/she rereads their work for others etc etc. I believe Dave Grohl is one of them. I mean look at his face :52-1:00The pain is stamped in the eyes, face almost a helpless mask to peal back and show the fans his sadness and love for Kurt. God bless art, God bless Dave and Foo Fighters, God Bless Kurt and Nirvana, God bless all artists

This is a song by Dave that I can’t really relate to and it’s really weird because mostly all his songs I can but this one is so unique. It’s his own specific song that he sings to us through his experience with his best friend. All I can show is empathy and it makes me sad. :(( RIP Kurt

[@kevenrowe2958]

Yeah he was in a band with one of the greatest songwriters of all time certainly his generation, so yeah you he was certainly influenced by Cobain in his earlier years specifically the first foo fighters album

[@angelogleason6242]

He got his melodic lulluby-like songwriting from Kurt Cobain and you can tell. I think Kurt was beginning to make music like this more towards the end of his life... But at least Dave carried that beautiful songwriting into his own music

[@detroit-vi4iw]

Intro reminds me of "Nei Proyojon" by Indalo oh wait !

[@oiulti6900]

This observation was beautiful… I really wish I could have experienced not speaking while he played.

[@kaamos79]

There's a purity to this early stuff, all the way through the color and the shape, which is sort of missing in the newer material he writes. He traded some of that spirit, and weirdness, and melancholy, and oftentimes just dumb fun for big stadium rock songs which might be technically better and more mature, but are missing what I loved about his work in the first place.

People always ask which Dave grohl songs are about Kurt Cobain I don't know if grohl ever admitted it but this song and let it die are clearly inspired by Kurt...

[@kafkaseyebrows]

I think the "and no one speaks" has to do with butch having to trick kurt into singing and having to turn off everything in the studio in order to record it; that's how they got the audio for "you know you're right" kurt was laying down on the couch singing quietly and butch recorded it
