Not a lot of people know that DG wrote this when TH was recovering from an overdose years and years ago. Today, having known of Taylor's passing, listening to this just hits so much harder. A truly sad day, where I carry a heavy heart. Rest easy, legend 🖤

[@regianemartins2795]

He overdosed on heroin in 2001 wich left him in a coma for 2 weeks. Dave was by him side all the time. I can't even imagine how devasted he is right now. This song of loyalty sounded with sadness for me today. I wish peace for Taylor and STRENGHT for Dave, with all my heart.

It’s so heart breaking that Taylor lost his battle with addiction. RIP Taylor along with all the others that have lost their battle to addiction. We know Taylor’s story I hope others who are battling will reach out for help . Maybe the lose of Taylor can help others in some way . We need to make changes in our society to help people get clean and prevent ours from falling into this path of destruction.

This is a song Dave wrote for Taylor when he almost died. They were soulmates, twins... When one had short hair, the other had too. When long, both. When beard or shaved, too. I can´t imagine what´s Dave going through right now. Part of him just died forever. Maybe Taylor is free now. Who knows what awaits us after... It´s always harder for those who stay though. Taylor was always symbol of fullfiled dreams for me. If you imagine that kid growing up, worshipping his favourite bands. And every one of those dreams came true. He played with everybody. Hope he´s living his biggest dream right now. Forever.

Hearing the story behind this song, I know Dave says it's "about Taylor" but I really think it's about how Dave himself was "On The Mend, My Friend" after hearing that Taylor would recover when he was in that coma. It shows what they mean to eachother, what the whole band mean to each other in the Foo Family and what the band means to us, their fans. Music won't be the same for me again. RIP Taylor

[@Glesga_lassie]

I'm still here, crying, hanging around the comments on these videos... But I decided to do something today that I should have done a long time ago but kept putting it off. I got an electric guitar which for some reason has never worked with any amp or lead I've tried, I can't play, I tried teaching myself acoustic but it was too hard on my hands, so... I'm getting it repaired and I'm going to learn. I taught myself how to play Smells Like Teen Spirit on my daughters ukulele today and really enjoyed it. Life's too damn short to keep putting stuff off. I play piano, but guitar and drums are my jam, I could steal my dads drum kit but I don't think my neighbours would be too happy so the guitar it is. If it's not fixable I've already chosen which one I'm going to buy. I'll come back to this comment in six months. That's how long I'm giving myself to learn the basics.

[@maricciar]

I'm 54 years old, and did exactly wha you said, about 5 years ago .... I've allways like music, but only listening, now I´'m learning to play guitar and drums, and sing. It changed my life ...... I was there in the last Foo Fighters show in Buenos Aires, and next day I bougth an electroacustic guitar .... and five days later Taylor passed away.... I'm still sad, but I decided to learn this song, and Everlong acoustic version. Perhaps I'll too come back to your comment in six months.

[@Glesga_lassie]

@@maricciar OK so I got TWO new guitars, both Yamaha Pacifica's, ones a 112V and the other a 120H, I've played every single day since I left the comment above and I've also began lessons, so far I can play quite a few bits and pieces of different songs but I've learned to play this pretty much in full. I'm still hanging around these comments sections, still heartbroken, still with tears, but every time I pick up a guitar I think of Taylor and the Foo's. How are you getting on? Have you been learning?

[@ExploreTheMind-kg8je]

The StoryTeller Audiobook. Written and read by Dave Grohl. You can thank me later. Thank you Foo Fighters for all the years of helping me On The Mend, physically, mentally, and emotionally, finding My Hero at home, abroad, and inside, trying to never be The Pretender and Never Surrender. You were there as I grew up, you were there for the happy times, the sad times, and the bad times. You lifted me up and helped me Resist and Grow, despite someone always trying to wring the last drop from me. But most of all, I thank Dave Grohl's Mom. Without her support and love for Dave and her family, there would be no Nirvana, no Foo Fighters, no inspirational shows, dreams and aspirations, due to the unending love and care from a mother for her son, supporting him in all his endeavors, no matter what life threw at them. Born into a challenging life, to working his way through the punk rock scene, all the way to rocking and inspiring the whole fucking world in the largest stadiums, in a maelstrom of drums, guitars and vocals that will live in infamy. ~ Thank You, from the bottom of my heart, You Are The Best ~
