Foo Fighters | Everlong (Acoustic - March 20, 2021)

[@Jimbo7]

I sat next to Dave on a flight from Seattle to LA once. It was my first time flying alone, I was probably 12 or 13, and I was very nervous. At this point I had no clue who the Foo Fighters or Nirvana were, so I literally had no clue who he was. He could tell I was super uneasy, so he talked to me and was super reassuring, asking me my name and introducing himself, just generally being a really friendly guy. He talked about how he played music, but never mentioned the bands, and never really played up how famous he was. He helped me get my carryon out of the luggage compartment and told me to have a fun time as I was going to disneyland with my uncle who lived in irvine, and that was it. I saw a couple people ask him for a picture when we got off the plane, but I never realized who he was until a year or so later when I mentioned a "Dave" who played music and took some pictures with people to some friends who asked me if it was him, and it just blew my mind. Really, really genuine guy, and an experience I'll never forget.

“I don’t know anything about guitar, I’m not a trained musician, I can’t read music, I don’t know what these chords are” proceeds to write one of the most iconic songs of all time. Rock on Dave. Wow!

It usually takes fresh ears to come up with something very original. Trained musicians tend to stick to the classic chords they were taught. Dave basically created his own because he had no "rules" to follow.

Passion will always overcome adversity. Not to in any way minimize legit adversity, but more to say hang on to your passion. Formal training, proper connections, ideal physick, or whatever looks like it's holding you back, don't let it. Magic comes from so many unexpected places.

[@justinabajian1087]

@@haggleboggle most rock musicians I play with never had formal lessons either. Same for me. I had a guy show me a couple chords and just took over from there. Same with drums. I was shown how to ride the high hat while alternating bass and snare and the rest is just practice and discovery. My first entire band was like that. We figured out what we were doing as we went. It goes really fast too. You improve so fast as long as you put in the practice. It’s probably way more fun that way actually.

I walked down the aisle to this song on Halloween 2020.

Music has a way of helping us transcend the crap hand life gives us sometimes. The Foo Fighters (and Everlong) in particular is an incredible song and your husband loved you so much that he learned to play it for you. What an amazing gift. I too suffered a horrible loss to the love of my life - my high school sweetheart - my husband - the father of our 2 beautiful daughters - my best friend…to an illness. Time will pass and you might find that it hurts a little less, but this song will anchor you to him forever and your feelings will eventually become more melancholy than sad. It’s been nearly 6 years since our loss and I can finally listen to Hallelujah (Jeff Buckley’s version) without breaking down into a puddle of tears and find that feeling that bonded us to that song with a smile in my heart. I’m so sorry for your loss. And you’re right…Fv

We joked about marrying at his bedside but I didn't realise how ill he was and unfortunately he didn't make it out to meet me down the aisle. This song reminds me so much of the amazing time we spent together and how much we both unconditionally loved one another. He had cystic fibrosis which is a genetic lung condition he was born with, so we lived each day to the fullest knowing one day he would leave me far too young. 'Breathe out, so I can breathe you in. Hold you in' relates so much as I would have shared my breath with him to ease his pain when he breathed. He had to have oxygen by the end and was in so much pain, it was awful to watch. I held him while he took his final breath. This song I played on the road to the hospital on his final day and I will forever remember the feeling of helplessness on my way, hoping he could have more time with me. 'Gotta promise not to stop when I say when' well I will never stop loving him even though he has gone. I have 2 beautiful children with my now fiancé and I love my family so much, we live a wonderful, happy life. But my love for him will never cease to exist. There goes my hero, he's ordinary🌹

This made me cry. Life can be so cruel. I'm glad you have been able to move forward but retain those precious moments.

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

I wish I could tell Dave just how thankful I am for this song. He has no idea how much this song means to me. I’ve heard it thousands of times and it still chokes me up every single time. I love it so much. It’s etched into the very make up of my soul.

[@joshmion7943]

Hearing Dave's narrative was incredibly enlightening. I've been playing guitar since I was 17 and I never had lessons. Someone tells you to play a B-minor and I'm like, "uhhh." It always made me feel like I didn't belong here holding this instrument, that I wasn't a real musician, and that I was just pretending. However, when Dave Grohl says he can't read music... no one is challenging that he is a great musician. I'm 31 now and I've learned over many years that music doesn't have to be played skillfully to reach people. In a way, it means so much more knowing that any of us can do this without the need for years of music theory or lessons. As Dave himself said, "that's the great thing about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they'll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons." I've been playing for 14 years now and I still feel like I'm not qualified to play for people... maybe I'll finally start.

[@karen175]

Well said.

[@champanier]

Play on, Josh! You ARE a musician. It’s in your heart, not your brain.

[@blakejohnson6923]

I felt the same way after 15+ years of playing... Decided to get a couple gigs at the local bars. Mistakes were made, some notes were sung off key, but the reaction of the crowd after was reassuring

[@barefootbeachrunner9498]

Just do it Mate Ive been playing for 40 years and still feel like I dont belong Then every now and again I'll be playing a new song ive written for some friends and someone will say "wow that's awesome" Just play man and enjoy😊👍

It's so crazy how you can feel his soul and how genuine he is as a person. He is so content with life and knows he's given literally all he could hes lived a life some only dream, now singing this song he thinks about all the time that's passed and all the memories, now he's happy to live and have a family and throughout the process he's remained humble and still the same person he's always been. I strive to live a life like this, with or without the material items.

[@dogfart6140]

Very very different genre but that's exactly how I feel about this song kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHTJgquYnbJ5mLc it's like I'm in his shoes and I just wanna give this kid a hug

[@lawrenceklein3524]

This guy impresses the heck out of me. This is such a beautiful song.

[@ryan.craig816]

Despite the song's actual meaning, it's really made me think of my best friend. I lost him in late February of 2021. I've missed him every day since, and every time I hear "If everything could ever be this real forever / If anything could ever be this good again" I well up. If you've read this far, if there's someone in your life you care about, whether it be a parent, a bestie, whoever you'd be comfortable telling them that you love them, do it. You never know when you'll never get the chance to again. P.S. His name was Declan Gillgallon. He also made music, which can be heard on all streaming platforms.

[@emiliekeeton8995]

Amen- tell the people in your life who you love that you love them. I should do this more often with more people. One person who I practiced this with is no longer here; but it's the very last thing I said to him. He was my best friend. I had moved ½ way across the country a couple years prior but made it a point to hit him up every few weeks to couple months just to catch up & say hello. We were ending our conversation and I tried to catch him before he hung up: "Wait, wait! Hey are you still there? Wait!" He's like, "Dang, calm down, what? What's up?" I said, "I love you, man." Then he said: " I love you too you freak!" We laughed and hung up. He died a few weeks later from accidental carbon monoxide poisoning. You never know when you're having your last conversation with someone & people should know they're cared about.

[@bandiwase]

Bless you and Declan

lost my best friend of 12 years in June of 2019, & this comment really hit me hard. this feeling and longing every single day is one I would never wish for anyone else to have to feel. grief is weird and this comment made me feel a little better. thank you for sharing. love to you🤍

[@sebastiantu6212]

the fact that dave grohl doesn't know music theory at all makes me feel alright about it myself.

[@fabio4085]

I remember some months ago when Frusciante said that "Kiedis don´t know anything about music theory, but he write and sing with his heart and that´s even more important".

[@errorunknown667]

@@fabio4085 “sing” is a strong word 😂

[@errorunknown667]

Kurt Cobain didn’t know theory either

[@craigiliffe2845]

John Lennon was similarly clueless in a classical sense

[@akshatthakur6167]

They knew theory, but didn’t know the proper terminology for it. You don’t need to know what subjects predicates participals articles or conjunctions are to speak English, but you still need to know how to use them. That’s what these guys did, they didn’t know terminology, but they knew what they were doing
