subscribed. Brilliant video. Thanks!
Holy. Wow. This kinda changed me man. I wanna say thank you
That opening riff...
that fucking opening riff
I don't really like the opening of the song. The guitar buildup is what makes this song so great if you ask me. The guitar riff progression is smooth af and the refrain truly feels like the strongest point of the song. Just a solid all around rock song
@@MatVyy TLDR. The opening is great.
@@Drunkenmallsanta yes better than most songs from the era, but it's still the refrain for me
@@MatVyy How can you not like the opening of the song yet like the song? The main riff and opening are almost the same.
I get goosebumps every time I listen to it that roof is just so fucking beautiful
Interesting...Everlong is a song that leaves me with nostalgia
Nostalgia is infectious
I agree. Lots of nostalgia with this song.
Nostalgia is one of my favorite emotional states, because it’s euphoric and painful at the same time. You have this memory etched deep inside you of some incredible moment, it’s like time stopped and you lived in this moment for an eternity, yet... there’s pain because that’s not where you are now. You will never actually be in that moment again. But you’re still glad to have had it. Nostalgia can be some deep life existential stuff
That's just how the song is, it's supposed to make you emotional and make you feel nostalgic, this song was made from pure emotion and holy jesus it's amazing.
Same, and the acoustic version was so heavy for me
One of the rare times the UA-cam algorithm has lead me to a gem of a channel instead of a 12 year old video about a cow falling down a ditch. Great videos, subbed and working back through your catalogue!
Don’t talk trash about that cow falling down that ditch that’s video gold buddy
The other videos he has are also great
What did the cow ever do to you, you monster!
Can I get a link to that cow video please
Yo, all I can think about now is the cow falling in a ditch.
Can you point me in the right direction?? Feel like I'm missing out on something epic.
Never was a Foo Fighters fan, not even Nirvana. But Everlong is one of my favorite songs ever.
Damn great song.
Those are both such awesome bands, how could you not like them??!
@@BlakeH..888_ I always liked both of them. "Never was a fan" like "never bought a record", "never had a poster on the wall", "never bleached my hair".
I concur
@@ThisIsWideAngle bleached your hair wtf are you talking about
@@jasonirwin2947 How do you not understand what he's saying?.. 😩
It's like "never shaved my pubes" or "ate sushi out of an old boot".
This song, please don't laugh, really reminded me to appreciate and keep in mind, to hold onto those little moments that makes memories so amazing. I was a teenaged mom. I knew my son's childhood would come to an end at some point so when we'd drive around listening to this song, I'd look at his little face and acknowledge the fact that some day he would be a man and I would still be his mom. It hurts but it's so worth it. Life is tough but it's worth it ❤️
That's a nice reflection. Acknowledging the inevitable passage of time can be such a bittersweet experience, especially when its projected into an uncertain future. Hope y'all are able to negotiate the upcoming rapids and appreciate the eddies.
Wow
People need to stop worrying about being cringe!!! These type of things are my favourite to talk about. I think this way of living is how you create happiness in your life. Truly be in the moment. Take in and appreciate other, their words, actions, literally everything they do. Pretty sure in psychology it’s called mindfulness.
I sang this to my daughter as I put her to bed every night. Partly because it's one of the few songs I know the words to and partly for the similar reasons you mentioned
Bwahahaha!
And the song gains an whole new meaning when you are going through some of the things he sings about it. Pain it's always real,just like love.
Love, Love is a verb, Love is a doing word.
This song holds a really sore place in my heart. I stopped listening to it for a long time because of it. Watching this is like ripping off a bandage.
@@jcmiguel2945 if u don’t mind me asking why does it hold a sore spot for y’all?
@@FreshGmB the conflicting feelings of piercing nostalgia
@@FreshGmB If you ask me, I will answer as follows, when I first heard this song, I felt a strange feeling mixed with sadness (maybe nostalgic) and every time I listen to it, I feel like something is breaking inside me. I never can't understand why. The lyrics and rhythm are scratching my brain man. I feel like crying when i listen to it
wow, I never realized that was her voice over a phone on the verse. Id always play those notes on guitar thinking they were some random lead guitar part, thats crazy!
That *is* lead guitar, they just blended her voice in with it to give it that little unique touch
This just got recommended to me today. In light of everything, it was actually really cool to take a deep dive into this song. Thank you for doing this video. RIP Taylor. We miss you, man.
Love this song, had it at my wedding. 2 of my friends played it acoustic while my bride to be was walking up the allée, made me cry. Thank you for a great video man.
Great move mate, play the "love never lasts" song at your wedding. ;-)
I have played guitar for 23 years, and im terrible at it. However, Everlong is the only song I can play, and play well. Absolutely love this song.
I just started and it's the second song I learned, the first was come as you are
@@jonnbrown93 lol yeah, I think I might have learned come as you are intro first too. Couldn't ever play the chorus part, but that intro is something I played a million times lol. Love everlong, happy to hear someone else loves to play it too! It's one of those songs that is easy to throw a lot of passion into and make it yours. Keep it up!
@@brianshissler3263 It’s definitely one of those songs, thanks you too man! 🤙🏾
That opening riff has always brought to my mind imagery of the woods at dusk, I can't explain why. It always takes me deep into the wilderness, mentally speaking.
I know what you mean, Into the Hollow by Queens of the Stone Age does the same to me
I’ve known this song for so long but it got me through my recent divorce. Now every time I hear it I can’t make it through the song without tearing up remembering how difficult it was getting through that period in my life. Something about the sincerity in the lyrics that gave my feelings a voice instead of letting it eat me up into depression.
Everlong is one of my fav driving songs. I always sing the fuck out of it and end up crying during it and singing through the teaars. Means alot too me moreso as life went on and things got hard.
The ending made me cry 😭. This was so beautiful ♥️ anything from Linkin park from your side would really be appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words!
Agreed with this!
Wow. Never been one to really pay much attention to lyrics but more to the melody and rhythm of a song. This song always connected with me. I could feel the emotion and intent of the song even without knowing the story of the lyrics. Now I have another level of appreciation.
This was one of my favorite songs as a kid. I was never a Foo Fighers fan, but I liked this one. Interesting, I went through something similar. Falling in love with another woman as my mariage reached it's end. It was going to end either way, and the new love was a complete surprise. Only this love was something more just another relationship doomed to fail. This new woman turned out to be my twin flame. Many people don't believe it's a real thing, but I assure you it is. This is a love that can never end, and exists as unconditional love in the spirit realm. No matter what your counterpart does, it is not possible for twin flames to ever fall out of love, and it is not possible for twin flames to cheat on each other, due to the underlying unconditional love. Love isn't a gift, and it's not something you can recieve. Love just is, and it's only a matter of tuning in or tuning out. We harmonize with it, the way he harmonized with his new love in the song.
This song always reminds me of this time when I was in seventh grade and I couldn't sleep and it came on the radio so I recorded it on a tape cassette and I played it over and over that night. It wasn't the first time I heard the song but for some reason that was like the most awesome night I've ever had in my life. I was just by myself listening to the song over and over again even though I had to go to school the next morning I don't know something magical I guess. The song just has a perfect vibe for that kind of thing. I know it's kind of a corny story but whatever.
That is so magical
Such an amazing song. I remember hearing Dave perform the acoustic on Howard Stern and being blown away. 17 years later, my wife and both attend a Foo Fighters concert at Fenway Park in separate seats 2 days before our first date. 2 years after that, we had our first dance to a different acoustic version from the 24 hours of Foo on MTV.
Everlong, acoustic, live... just Dave and his guitar, RIGHT UP THERE imo, one of the best songs ever written/performed
The song is clearly Taylor Hawkins. Look at the way Dave looks at his Drummer That's true love if it ever existed
based
Wait, are you guys slash/shipping this? Wow the internet really is a wonderful place
@@plasticwrapcharlie dawg it's a joke
@@ImEverythingYouCrave is it tho? I've seen slashfic even more bizarre
Well that’s bittersweet today :(
I sing this song 24/7 cause it feels so hopeful....no freakin wonder!!!!
one of the greatest rock songs ever written. that drum line, bro. lyrics and riff are so, so good, but the drums just blow me away.
The Howard Stern version is absolutely beautiful
Just watched the Pearl Jam video and now this one, Subscribed! Seriously, great work.
Exact same!
Yup
I hope you're still making podcast episodes - this is a hidden gem, and I'm really not an audiophile - just in my 30's and appreciate hearing the history of the music 'of my youth' haha. Keep up the good work - again - these short 'podcasts' - are perfect - don't want to hear 24 or 32 or 52 or 3h about this
there was always something unmistakingly beautiful and melancholic about this song for me
I always loved this song and it would give me goosebumps and make me tear up but I never truly understood why until now
This songs about Louise Post from Veruca Salt. They were having an affair toward the end of his marriage.
You should do a video on Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots.
This is one of those songs that I wish I could listen to for the first time again
And seeing Taylor in the back in the last shot… wow, so powerful. Great editing!
Damn got me in tears over here on a random-ass Thursday sitting on my couch in my underwear eating a microwaved burrito, shit. This is what life is really like huh
Being a hopeless romantic really intensifies the importance of this song for me
How do you channel the lowest point of your life into the greatest moment of your existence?
You write Everlong. 😎
Dave is the nicest man in rock and roll. Between him and Aaron Rodgers, I don't know who I'd want to meet more...
I met Dave. He's pretty much exactly what you expect.
When I first saw him in combination with Pat Smear as members of Nirvana, I thought that these jealous guys are going to kill Kurt Cobain.

I couldnt agree more with this comment
That last concert clip gave me fuckin chills. I grew up with this song. When I was younger i loved the melodies and payed no mind to the meaning behind the lyrics. As I got older and started to get into relationships, the lyrics finally started to hit me on an emotional level. To this day it’s still one of my favourite songs.
Favorite song of all time. 100%. Wish there were more vids like this for all my fav tracks
This just might be my favorite video on UA-cam. This song has stuck with my since I first heard it, and is also my most favorite song and the history of this song is beautiful. I had no idea there was a backing vocal under the verses
My tears welled up just by watching this. Everlong is absolutely one of my favorite alternative rock songs of all time.
Please do the chain my Fleetwood Mac I love the story behind it and I feel not enough people know the full details
never mentioned how he cheated on his missus on tour in australia around the time before this, and SHE'S the one doing the soft telephone backing vocals on this song (you can hear these vocals on the Produce Like a Pro Everlong video).
source: you don't have to believe me, i just think it's a cool piece of knowledge.
I just found your channel. Whether I gree or disagree (I haven't yet) with what you say; your research is impecable. And these stories are SOO interesting! GOOD JOB!
The greatest music video of all time.
This song, this band…it saved my life. I know that’s a pretty commonly heard phrase in the comment sections of UA-cam but it did. A time when I had nobody and nowhere to turn too. I was so alone and down that giving up my life seemed like the only option. But when nobody could understand my pain, Everlong did. My pain was being reflected back and I wasn’t alone. It taught me that nothing ever feels like this forever. The good, the bad, and everything in between. But it’s worth it, and I’m so glad this song was there for me. Thank you Dave and the Foo Fighters. R.I.P Taylor.
Grew up listening to this as a kid, I never knew it was a love song. But whenever I hear it, it brings me back to when I was a happy kid just being me. Loving life, not asking so many questions, not burdened by thought or responsibility. Not realizing I was alone and was happy alone. Not noticing the growing hole where a good friend, lover or even family member is supposed to be.
I know it's stupid, but I feel the lyrics translate so well to that.
The entire song makes me think of family, friends, pets I'll never see again, or relationships that just aren't the same as they were. It reminds me of when I felt I could go to anyone in my family for anything and be myself. Which is a far cry from reality today...
I apologize for the comment. But I really needed to get this out. I adore this song so much. This, the minecraft soundtrack and a few other amazing songs are the things that keep me happy in this world and keep me staying.
Have fun, stay safe. Thank you for reading.
This is the song that brought me n my ex together, she played it for me on her acoustic over FaceTime(and we quietly sang the lyrics together)and I asked her to be my girlfriend the next day. I’m just now getting to the point where I can listen to it without that feeling in my gut, 3 years later. Side note: the drums are her primary instrument and Dave Grohl is one of her favorite drummers and people, ever. So yea, our relationship was LITERALLY this song.
This is such an amazing song. I love monkey wrench even more because of the refrain at the end. It’s a grunge version of “you can go your own way”
I love music history. What a channel. Keep up the good work.
When I listen to this song now it fuckin brings me to tears. I still can’t believe Taylor is really gone…
Awesome content man, keep it up! Love peering behind the curtain like this, gives new meaning to the songs I'd never considered before.
Thanks for uploading this video. It’s an absolutely great song. Thanks for breaking down the whispering part. 👍🏾
Yesterday was rehersing with my band, a chick ive liked for years came to watch, when we played everlong she sang along, everlong has always been one of my favourite songs but the way she looked into my eyes for a good 10 seconds while singing it will stay with me forever
Thanks for clearing that up, the whispering in the middle. I never had an idea what was going on there. New sub!
literally cried watching this, that song means so much to me
the intro to everlong will always be my favorite, sets the tone for the song perfectly
Still one of my favourite tunes
Not really a Foo Fighters fan but since it came out I've probably heard this song 5200 times and each one felt special.
I always loved this song from the first day I heard it ( in the far past of 1997). It really struck a chord with me as I was going through and after my divorce from the love of my life and I couldn't put my finger on it. Now it all makes sense, and still brings a tear to my eye. Still one of my favorite songs
If anything could ever feel this real forever
I fucking love that he's reading an instruction manual during the song LOL
I love it. I love both versions so much. I can be sitting in the car driving to work and be almost in tears hearing this song.
Dude, I could watch your videos all day. Great work
RIP TAYLOR
AND KURT
Love this channel. And this song. It's been so long and this is still one of my favourites.
Pretty good. I am just learning this riff on my accoustic guitar as of this week. My guitar teacher and my self covered this song just yesterday.
2:46 Foo fighters when they see a Foo
Everlong is such a great song along with monkey wrench and a ton of early foo fighters music it just hits great
Still one of my Fave songs of all time.
I totally forgot how fucking awesome this song was when it dropped.
Always has been and always will be my favorite Foo Fighters song.
Great channel mate! Keep going with this and I am certain this will blow up. As much as I love my grunge bands I think away to help make you grow is going into popular songs of today. And I know that might be hard considering most have lost touch unlike the og bands. But people like Beyoncé, Adele and such will bring in a lot more eyes. And of course continue with grunge and the actual good music but I want to see this channel grow!! Love from Scotland ❤️
This song and Times like These I like way better live than the studio version. I'm not sure why
Wow just found this in the recommended. Instant subscribe! Great video! Can’t wait for more!
Loved this video but there's a big difference of volume between music and your voice, I'm subscribing right now :)
Walked down the aisle to this song..
Awesome podcast, awesome videos, I hope your stuff will find the audience it deserves. great stuff !
Yup, it's a great song.
This was one of their best songs ever! Sorry any one that gets offended, but for me, this song was at the right point in my life and I understood a song the way it was intended! I used it as my background music for a vert run in a comp back in the day too! It meant a lot to me from all aspects of my life! My riding career was ending and I was in the middle of a massive divorce and was trying to figure the new side of life out. Perfect life changing song
How would anyone be offended by that?
Omg!!!! That chorus riff is vocal 😵😵😵 Shut the front door, had no idea endaxie
Really fucking weird but I do t have really any sentimental memory to this song, yet everytime I hear it I’m damn near crying. The way this channel articulated threading that needle between being a ballad and a rock song is so accurate
How many people thought, "When i sing along with you" was about his time in Nirvana with Kurt? maybe it doesn't make sense so much with the rest of the song but it still feels powerful when listen to it in that mind frame.
same
This songs is about the singer from Veruca Salt.
This song was one of my fav songs and the video topped it off. Ah Middle School 97...jncos and heartbreak
Feeling that world peace is possible always believing this song to be about Louise Post.
Good vid. Not too long. No cringy jokes. Informative, stylistic and too-the-point.
i love how you only use the voice track for some parts adds another layer of understanding
I love this band so much and im so glad to see people talk about them.
These are awesome videos, really hope this podcast blows up like it should
Catching Taylor in the background of that final shot, knowing it's the last song he ever performed live, hits pretty hard right now.
🔥So many good Rock songs began on a pissed soaked mattress😎
Excellent!! Subbed!!
This song was the song they played on the Chandler Monica wedding in Friends. - I always thought that was really odd… love the song!
That last shot with Taylor. Gut punch.
I’m glad I found your page I was highly enjoying myself rn
How can you leave ht ebest line of the song out? "Breathe out, so I can breathe you in"
If only Foos could sound this good forever...
Can't help but BLAST this song when I go snowboarding.
Dave Grohl never wrote a better song. He’s come close a few times but this was his peak. And that’s fine because Everlong is simply amazing.
