#FooFighters #Everlong
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.
Beautiful, thank you so much sharing. What a special moment in time!
He is truly a wonderful human being. What a great memory, thanks for sharing!
This is amazing. Glad to see he is the kind of person I hoped he would be.
Pretty cool he was reassuring you because Dave loves to fly but is also afraid to fly.
@@FooCards88 He learned to fly too.
Dave is so good he plays the drums on a guitar.
yes
Such a wickedly accurate, honest statement from him!!
Not that it's important for the song, but James Hetfield (rhythm guitarist from Metallica) actually said the same. In a commercial for Yousician, he said: "I basically play drums on guitar."
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic ” by SLT 🤘🐺
He's the best guitarist drummer
Played this version at my brothers funeral yesterday. The perfect song for the perfect brother. ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss and pain. I hope the music can be a little bit of balm for your heart.
I'm sorry❤
My condolences honey ❤️ let the music take u back to good memories
I’m sorry 😢
I hope you find peace and his memory lives on brother.
I really appreciate how Dave speaks about the process of writing a song.
Agreed 100%
Late to this but listen to him narrate his autobiography if you haven’t - whole book is just like this
“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! I gotta admit guys, I never thought my comment would get this kind of response. I’m just happy to know everybody is such a fan. Here’s to many more years of Foo!
Makes me feel better as a musically illiterate guitarist of 20+ years lol.
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.
@@BornIn1500 that's a great way to put it
I've played with a young man who doesn't know the difference between F# and Dm but can write kick ass songs! He plays all instruments and sings.. Check him out here on UA-cam or Spotify. Diamond Nugget
IIRC same story with Van Halen. Taught on the piano but never learned guitar via a formal setting.
Dave Grohl is probably the most sincere and authentic rock star around. My Hero.
kudos
i see what you did there
I don’t even like his music that much but I’ll agree. He’s down to earth.
Watch him as he goes!
"Watch him as he goes"
It’s funny how we can take a song and it can mean something so different in our lives. The first time I heard this was on the hour long drive to Toronto’s Sick Kids Hospital, after 3.5 years our daughter was having her final chemo. “Could anything ever be this good again” … hubby and I smiled while our daughter and our son (10 months younger than our girl) sang the Do do do's in the backseat. It was our victory song! That same little girl is a beautiful and brilliant 31 year old who's getting married in October (to a drummer 🤷🏼♀️😂), we'll have a family dance to “our song… Everlong 😊 thanks Dave ❤️!
How was the wedding day?
@@EdgarHammer847 it was just the best😊 thanks so much for asking! We consider ourselves very blessed.
Music is such an incredibly powerful human creation. It unites us. It transports us. It elevates us. Your story is a special one that embodies all of that. Thank you.
@@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable you nailed it. Nothing can unite us like music can. So many Foo songs happened at the right time for me.
So its 5 months later I have the flu and Im sobbing at this comment.
Went to a mental institution for like a month when I was 15. I’d spend all my time in the main room hovering over the little radio they had. I wouldn’t let anyone change the station 103.9. I’d wait each day for em to play this beautiful song and I’d feel way better than all the meds they ever gave me ever did. This was right when it came out. And the acoustic version is the best!
“Im not a trained musician” says the legend who played drums and lead/guitar for two of the most influential bands of the 90s and 00s. Dave kills it
Dave is just fucking around and finding out.
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.
@@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.
He is awesome, but not the lead Guitarist of the Foo Fighters.
@@Grasshoppa65 lead singer + guitarist. Clearly i need to be more elaborate for keyboard warriors
This song is like depression and happiness at the same time
Those are the best songs I've realized, because you get the whole entirety of life in one. Both the good and the bad. Sad that it's over but also happy for what was, and for the future to come.
Yes that’s it exactly!
I believe the term is ‘bittersweet’.
Definitely is
its melancholic
That song is like wine, the more you hear it the better it gets.
The acoustic version gave us chills hearing it on the stern show way back then we included it in my daughter's funeral, because at this tone it really felt like a sad but beautiful description of our brief trip here together in the physical ❤we were planning to take her to see Dave that same year but she didn't stay long enough. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful song with the world
Sorry for your loss
So sorry mate
Your story is more sad than the song.😢
I'm sorry that's so sad
💔 🙏🏿 🖤 🤍
“I’m not a trained musician”

@Your Dad
Just deal with it, there are people that really think Dave Grohl is a great drummer. And you comparing to lists in general as a point isnt a statement to be taken seriously.
Of course - you can have your own opinion.
This guy is really good, he should be in a band or something.
bro it's Dave Grohl
@@kharnegreylhada6559 You missed his joke there

@@pradeepkumarsingh6024noo, are you lying to me??
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
there’s something about this song that just doesn’t compare to any other song out there, it is such a special song
As a self trained guitarist the chords are: sounds good, sounds good, and sounds good.
As someone currently self training (Still terrible I may add) I appreciate this. Its exactly my thought process when just playing each chord to this song. Plays 1 chord "sounds good" the next "sounds good" and the rest "sounds good." Okay, now with the strumming pattern...."sounds nothing like everlong" RIP
@@fullbeans983 Try it with more mushrooms next time
What key is this song in? B cool? Got it...
Can confirm. Source: I asked my ears.
OOOOOHHHHHHHHH. I knew that was it. I just couldn't remember the names lmao
It’s bonkers to me that he’s this incredible and successful musician and yet doesn’t know what chords are which. It’s pretty damn inspiring, really.
Learning what chords you play is definitely helpful, but you still know what sounds good.
That's why the best songs seem to come from untrained musicians I personally think 🤘
@@MultiMeg101
Ever listen to the Kinks
@@bryanluntz1603 Yes mate
It's inspiring really. I've been playing guitar for a little over a year now, and I think that I should learn all the notes ans scales so that I can play good, but then I step back for a bit, find a random chord that I have no idea what it is called and roll with it, and it sounds great.
David Grohl is the most talented UNTRAINED MULTI-INSTRUMENT player that there has been in a long long time.
A story of everlong, a story of a man who persevered through a pain beyond all pain. To keep going after most would think its all lost. He could have quit after Kurt died, but he powered through and drove forward into an amazing force that is the Foo Fighters. Props to you Dave, love ya man
"Don't know anything about guitar"

Lead singer, guitarist and drummer in over two of the most successful and iconic bands in the world
Still rocks that guitar!
Three bands
@@juderichards6588 It's four...
@@benedekgabor. what’s the fourth? i know that he’s been in nirvana, queens of the stone age, and foo fighters.
@@danielg0606 a hardcore punk band called scream
one of the best songs ever written
Solid... But slow down it's not like a Lennon McCartney tune or something.
@Hayden nah man this song's a gem
@@antonioval3035 Why did Lennon McCartney write the Golden Slumbers Medley? When a drummer is just gonna knock em out in 30 years with a couple chords he can't even name cause he thinks the high strings are cymbals and the low strings are drums... That by his own admission he ripped off from Sonic Youth. Yeah you really got us there!
Definitely plus it’s my favorite song by them.
@Hayden music is completely subjective. To this person, it’s one of the best songs ever written. There’s no way to prove that it’s not. No need to argue over it
That song actually saved my life. I was in a dark place.. I still struggle and I stilllisten to it everyday
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic ” by SLT 🤘🔥🎸
this might actually be the best song ever, in the history of humankind
My wife's song to me before she passed unexpectedly at a young age. Hard to listen to , yet I still do every day. I miss you more than I can bare.
❤️💔
sorry for your loss
so sorry for your loss. God bless you
Sorry for your loss
I'm so sorry for your loss, man
I'm so glad that Dave didn't end his music career after Kurt's death.
Like Novoselic
@@juanbautistamaciel6767 it’s a damn shame novoselic never picked the bass back up. One of the best bass players of all time
@@cannonkelly5079 I wouldn't say he "never "
@@cannonkelly5079 He's not the best lmao. Man just played the root notes all his career
@@juanbautistamaciel6767 Noveselic’s actually gone on to play a brief stint with Flipper, has also recorded vocals, bass and accordion on a few Foo songs. I think he has a band currently going called Giants in the Trees.
I'm sitting here, listening to this as tears are streaming down my face. You truly have a way of moving people Dave Grohl, and I thank you for doing all that you do. 🤟
Nothing or no one that’s any better !!!
My dad passed recently and he always would play you guys music in the car with me when I was young. We'd ride around blaring various songs of yours while he yelled the words and drummed on his steering wheel. With the loss of him I have come back to your music and it has helped me a lot. This song really makes me remember the good times I had with my dad. Thank you Dave and the rest.
Dave casually being like “oh yeah i just saw the chords like a drum kit” is so fucking incredible
Before Foo Fighters, he drummed for Nirvana. 🙏🏻
@@luna_belle5029 Really? 😏
@@andrewmontague9682 yes. he also played every instrument on the foo fighters eponymous first album
It's funny because this strumming pattern sound like it should be easy but it's kinda not
@@joroshiba funny enough i was a kid that liked to drum on everything. And when I was learning guitar, I couldn't basic chord strumming patterns felt odd for me but this song came very naturally to me for some reason and I had no idea why. But it makes so much more sense now lmao
This song will always bring me back to a better time in life
Like clockwork. I mentioned in another comment that I can't think of a single bad time in my life that I was listening to this song. It's always been a highlight of the highlights, if you will.
💯
I couldn’t have said it any better.
Yeah. The 90's and early 2000's was a good time to be alive.
I know for me it just reminds me of being a teenager with all this inner turnmoil for the first time.
Just having like a first real awakening to life in general and not knowing how to handle it, but being able to take comfort and solace on songs like these, if only for a moment.
SAME!!! 💘
words cannot describe how much I love this song
i started playing drums when i was seven or so, i don’t play any other instrument. when dave explained how he perceives the lower strings as drums and the higher strings as cymbals, i realized that i would think of it the same way. i’m simply used to drum grooves and if i knew a few chords on the guitar, i’d probably played them like drum grooves. i think that’s why i feel oddly special especially about this song. damn, this man and his music is so inspiring
I always love hearing a story behind the song. A bit hard to say, but that breakup might have been the best breakup ever when it resulted in a song like this.
You right!
Sometimes you need adversity and bad times to create more.
She dumped him?
@@904PinballZine they got divorced. But Everlong was actually written about the girl he dated right after the divorce
Dear Mr. Fantasy, please don’t be sad. If it was a straight life you had we wouldn’t have known you all these years.
“I’m not a trained musician” means “everything I do is just because of raw talent and inspiration.”
It’s really inspiring. I mean most of the greats aren’t trained musicians, just people who were inspired and picked up a guitar.
He is trained, just not in the traditional sense of going to a school and being taught music theory. At the end of the day though, every great musician and composer uses the same things: their ears and their heart
Sometimes being trained makes you just think like everyone else.
Gotta respect his honesty. That really means that his songs have somethig special. I've been trying for so long to learn reading music, believing that i would be somehow better. Now, this video, almost gives me an excuse to skip learning intervals, modes, arpeggios. Even though I enjoy watching Adam Neely and Rick Beato explaining what appears to be rocket science :) anyone agrees?
Yeah dude, now i see it's not a problem as longs i can have fun and use my talent
Love this version ...
best line!
I walked down the aisle to this song on Halloween 2020. My husband knew this was my favorite song, so he learned to play it on the guitar in one night and surprised me with a "concert" when I got home from work one night. Tomorrow, I have to make his funeral arrangements.I've been putting off listening to this particular song since he was put on hospice two weeks ago. It was painful but cathartic. I'm glad I decided to watch this particular video instead of the original video❤
Fuck cancer
I'm sorry for your loss. What a great guy to learn and play that for you! I hope listening to Everlong again (and you must), brings out the sweet memories of him after the tears fade.
I’m so sorry. 💔
Damn girl, I am so sorry!
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
@@amynanocchio5808 God bless you Amy....lots of love and thoughts coming your way...

Bro this was one of my favorite songs to play on acoustic before my stroke stole use of my left arm. I'm grateful that I got to play it when I was able, so thanks for the music :)
"I'm not a trained musician".....goes and do the first album by himself!!! Maybe he doesn't know the chord...but he knows everything else. One of the greatest artist ever.
So true. Dave Grohl is incredible.
dude just said greatest artist ever lmao
@@matthewrodgers8205 one of the best
@@matthewrodgers8205 he play all the instruments
Doesn't matter if you know what you're doing as long as you can do it intuitively
Being the drummer in one of the most iconic bands ever and then starting your own band and writing an iconic song like Everlong is on another level.
Everyone’s made for greatness just a few choose to make it.
If Kurt never killed himself this moment in the booth probably would have never happened....
Kurt never killed him self booth happened not both
Dave we love you. This is the best song ever and is t he only thing in the world that I can say that this is 100% true without thinking about it.
Dave you're a modern rock and roll legend. My wife and I saw your show at the Austin drum many years ago. Wheezer opened for you. Amazing show!! I was distracted while trying to talk to my wife and she started screaming "turn around, turn around!!" I looked over my left shoulder and you walked out to the opposite side of the venue. Blew my feeble mind!! I can't thank you enough for 30+ years of AWESOME rock and roll!!
This band accompanied me when I was studying in high school, when i received my diploma, when I went out with friends, when I became a boyfriend for the first time seriously, when we started living together, when she left me and we sold the house, when I talked to my mother long and hard until dawn, when I met the woman of my life, when my parents died, and today with more years, more experience I listen to their songs and sometimes I cry recounting what I experienced, this band is my soul, my life, thanks Dave
Stay strong king
Well said.
Fair winds and following seas.
Wow man. Thank you for sharing.
A man that exploded with a band at a young age, watched the lead guy die and still made an impact on the world after rather then burn out or die. Makes you think where the dead rockstars would be if they were alive.
Bro don't use periods if you can't use Commas
Makes you wonder where the people inspired by these people's talent and personality would be too. Do you think that this masterpiece would have been written if Kurt hadn't died?
@@rhettdonnelly7756 my thoughts exactly. We lost Kurt, but gained a Dave and...well, that's fair-ish.
Always looked up to that exact fact about Dave - such a diverse musical being
I wonder that about Layne
I love to hear you not just singing but also like this, just talking… I feel like I’m actually having a conversation with you in your home with friends… just love your personality, emotions and how you deal with hard feelings. Keep bringing Day , Dave ☀️
Every once in awhile i put this video on and try my best to play with him i never really had a relationship with my dad but what little time i got to spend with him was us playing guitar and ine of the few memories i still have of him is him showing me this song its been a little less than a year since he passed and i never really told anyone how its crushed me but this song still gives me a little flicker of a memory every time i hear that beat
My dad does not undestand a single word of english.
I just played this song for him on my acoustic guitar.
He loved it.
He barely show his emotions.
This means the world to me.
Im glad this song exist.
Thank you so much Dave.
So why don't you teach him English?
@@myphilippineamericanjourne4731 I think you have missed the point dude :)
So sweet
@@Octomusprime that’s a point none the less if he taught him English he’d understand the fucking song
Wow that is beautiful and amazing. Great song choice. Sometimes you don’t have to understand the language to feel the emotion that follows the music. His father was proud to hear his talented son. And son was proud to share something he loves with his father. Sounds like a bonding moment to me ♥️ so congrats my friend. Keep doing what you love.
Take note kids. This musical genius can play the drums from cords he created on a guitar without being able to comprehend writing music....THEN he matched lyrics on command......this is what REAL talent looks like.
he was a drummer first lol
@@SpiderGames420 listen to the story, he created the guitar stuff first and added the drum track later
@@Dave_ja_vu he played the guitar chords off what the drums sound like
@@Dave_ja_vu He’s saying dave grohl was a drummer before he was a guitarist. not about how the song was made.
Same as Eddie Van Halen
After 20 years I still love the song and the emotions that go with it
This song is one of the best songs in my lifetime. Grateful I was around for it.
This narrative is absolutely amazing. I would pay money to watch Dave explain his thoughts behind every song he’s written.
Check out the documentary “Back and Forth”. It’s good. Chock full of Groovy Grohl stuff.
Sonic Highways is a cool documentary as well
I think in a sense @obscurity we have.

Me, too! Just hearing him explain every song!
Dave “ So I was eating breakfast and I started tapping my spoon on the milk carton..and next thing I won 3 Grammies.”
Lmao! Great comment and totally true!
Sounds legit
Pretty sure this is how Chris Cornell wrote spoon man.
@@andrewalvarez4975 Chris Cornell s music still influences me today just as much as it did when I was a teen
What kind of cereal? I want a Grammy.
i discovered the foo fighters when I was in sixth grade. My brother listened to their greatest hits album on repeat when he drove me to school and we jammed out to that music. I grew up with them, I distinctly remember listening to Sonic Highways before my eighth grade football games, and Concrete and Gold before my HS football games. I take them with me everywhere. I'm almost done with college now, stressed out of my mind and overwhelmed on all four corners. This music takes me back to simpler times.
It’s so beautiful watching him get emotional over his own song. It’s like the same kind of passion we as fans feel about it.
It’s unbelievable, he’s a fantastic guitarist, one of the best drummers to ever touch this Earth no matter what anyone says, and his singing is like an angel’s. He’s my hero.
Yeah, and it seems to be so rare to get to watch this kind of videos. I love when the artists are passionate about their stuff
DONG!!!
Imagine being the girl that inspired such an iconic song.
Her name is Louise Post. She’s a musician and was in 1/2 of the lead Vocals & guitar for Veruca Salt
Spoiler alert... The Seether's Louise
I heard a rumor that the girl "Hey There Delilah" is based on sued the band over it

I'll never forget the story Pat Smear shared about him and Kurt walking by Dave as he was doodling on the guitar and they were like "holy crap, he's better on guitar than both of us!"

Everlong is one of my all time favourite songs.
"I'm not a trained musician" some of the best to ever do it couldn't read music, or were formally trained musicians. I thank God for guys like Dave Grohl, Chris Cornell & Layne Staley. Our generation needed them!
**Still needs them...
I think about Chris too. I sorta thought I was the only one.

needs them more than ever...
Yes definitely. It's so cool to see the next generation appreciation true
Rock music.
The chances of anyone from Foo Fighters actually seeing this comments are slim to none but I wanted to write it anyway. My mom passed away about five years ago at this point and Foo Fighters were her favorite band in the world and this was her favorite song in the world, hearing the story and hearing this rendition of the song brought me completely to tears and made me feel so incredibly close to her and maybe wish I could just share this video with her too, thank you

A must listen!!
Mom loves you so much, always has, always will. This song is your relation to one another now.
I've seen this video so many times and it is bloody amazing! Thanks for bringing this song into my life Dave, I will never forget it.
This song is so Beautiful, it gives me chills whenever I hear that quiet first few chords ❤
The fact that he has written whole ALBUMS of legendary songs, can play just about all the instruments, and he’s all self taught. The man is more than just an icon, a legend. He’s absolutely brilliant.
Complete genius.
100% agree. They have become my favorite band. Dave Grohl is a genius!
But would you like his fingers on you're drink
500th
i know 11 people just around me that can do the same
the fact that dave grohl doesn't know music theory at all makes me feel alright about it myself.
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".
@@fabio4085 “sing” is a strong word 😂
Kurt Cobain didn’t know theory either
John Lennon was similarly clueless in a classical sense
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
One of my top 3 favorite songs of all times. Hearing it acoustically with his explanation of the meaning of this song just made it that much more beautiful and special to me love❤
Sincere and most incredible song, it tears me in half every time I hear it.
Never get tired of this song
I love atom heart mother
Def not ! #everlongforever #foofighters #acoustic #loveeverlongacoustic
This is one of the things I love about Dave. He’s not a “trained” musician, he just plays things that sound cool to him. Literally plays how he’s feeling in the moment.
It's awesome for sure how real he is
its his drumming background carrying over to guitar
Tis my fav version of this song ❤
This song always and ever long brings tears, goosebumps. Favorite song of all time.
Is it just me, or is "Breathe out so I can breathe you in" one of the best lyrics ever? Slays me
My favorite line!
Hold u in...
It's not just you.
Yes, exactly that.
it sounds gross to me lol
Everlong will always be one of my most favorite songs ever, the shit it makes me feel is unparalleled
Me too buddy, me too. It feels like a warm hug on a rainy cloudy day, when you feel like that’s the best weather ever.
I used to sweat my butt off on drums in the garage with my best friend. Then he wanted to play drums, and we swapped instruments. I literally knew how to play it on both instruments at 20yrs old, because I love this song so much. One of my first experiences with drop D.
Same here ❤
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “The Wave Acoustic ” by SLT 🤘🐺🎸
Yes, I love quite a few of Foo Fighters songs but when I knew this was one of the bands I needed to see live at least once was when I heard this song. Somehow it always reminds me of a past relationships. After hearing how he came up with the song... It makes perfect sense.
outstanding , no other words could describe this performance ✌
This is definitely one of my favorite videos on youtube. I must re-watch it once a month & love it every time.
This is my favorite song ever. It gives me a melancholy feeling, reminds me of being happy, and in that is a bittersweet feeling.
Agreed. It's a very nostalgic feeling
Same.
Bittersweet - no song is more so❤
Same here.
This is so good but you must hear “Whispering Wolf” or “Live Not Survive” by SLT 🤘🎸🎧🤘🎸🎧🤘🎸🎧
"If everything could ever feel this real forever. If anything could ever be this good again" those lyrics right there hits me hard
Yes me also. And sadly I don't think it will ever be very real for me anymore. It's more like going through the motions until it's over with.
Love those lines
Absolutely

JESUS KNOCKS ON YOUR HEART AND LONGS FOR YOU TO ANSWER! HE DOESN'T WANT TO SEE ANYONE PERISH INTO HELL. GOD LOVES YOU SO HE GIVES YOU FREE WILL AND A CHOICE TO ACCEPT HIM OR REJECT HIM. TO LOVE HIM OR TO LOVE SIN/THIS WORLD. CALL UPON JESUS & ASK HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS! SURRENDER YOUR WILL & YOUR LIFE TO HIM AND HE WILL GIVE YOU ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN! PICTURE YOUR BEST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HEAVEN! NOW PICTURE YOUR WORST DAY ON EARTH TIMES A BILLION FOR ETERNITY, THAT'S HELL! HE WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU WANT IF YOU REJECT HIM, TOTAL SEPARATION FROM HIM & HIS BLESSINGS (LOVE, PEACE, JOY, HOPE, REST, ETC). IN HELL YOU WILL BE ALONE, YOU WILL BE HOPELESS, YOU WILL BE IN DESPAIR & AGONY FOREVER!
GOD'S STANDARD FOR HEAVEN IS PERFECTION AND ONLY JESUS (THE SON OF GOD, GOD IN THE FLESH) LIVED THAT PERFECT LIFE AND LAID DOWN HIS LIFE AS AN OFFERING FOR ALL PEOPLE'S SINS! YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT JESUS' GIFT & PAY FOR YOUR OWN SIN WITH DEATH (HELL) BUT THAT SEEMS PRETTY FOOLISH! GOD SEES & HEARS EVERYTHING YOU HAVE SAID & DONE. YOU WONT WIN AN ARGUMENT ON JUDGEMENT DAY & YOU CANT DEFEND ANY OF YOUR SINS. WE'RE ALL GUILTY WITHOUT ACCEPTING JESUS' SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS!
MUHAMMAD DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, BUDDHA DIDN'T DIE FOR YOUR SINS, NO PASTOR/PRIEST/MARY OR SAINT DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO IDOLS OR FALSE GODS DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ACTOR OR CELEBRITY DIED FOR YOUR SINS, NO ATHLETE OR POLITICIAN DIED FOR YOUR SINS!
JESUS CHRIST ALONE DIED FOR YOUR SINS & WAS RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE! HE IS ALIVE & COMING BACK SOON WITH JUDGEMENT! PREPARE YOURSELVES! IT'S NOT ABOUT RELIGION, TITHING, CHURCH... IT STARTS WITH ASKING HIM TO FORGIVE YOUR SINS & INVITING HIM INTO YOUR HEART/LIFE, SURRENDER ALL TO HIM! IT'S ABOUT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR CREATOR, DONT WAIT TO CRY OUT! NO ONE IS PROMISED TOMORROW! HE LONGS FOR YOU TO INVITE HIM IN, HE LOVES YOU MORE THAN ANY PERSON EVER COULD, HE CREATED YOU!

“For the wages of sin is death (hell), but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord”-Romans 6:23
Absolute legend. Thank you for creating this awesome emotional song from your inner core ✌️
What an amazing singer. Your inspiring to me , thankyou. I listen to your songs frequently. Western Australia. 👍
This is why I love Dave Grohl. For him its all about the music and not the bullshit. He's genuine. Unfortunately musicians like him are getting harder to come by. Love the Foo
Same here a true troubadour !
I’m not a huge foo fighters fan but Dave grohls lovability is undeniable
Nah those musicians are still out there they're just not being promoted
There are even more Grohl type musicians today than in the past.
The mainstream music industry ignores them.
Look around - you will find them
Going to a Foo concert is high on my bucket list.
“I’m not a trained musician....however I am an absolute god.”
11:13
Absolutely! Lol
He’s not a trained musician, so true. You cant train what he has.

@@mammontustado9680 jahahha
It's so amazing i just love this song your amazing singing it this way absolutely amazing
Dave is such an inspiration im so thankful he does this he makes songs and helps people in need there will be no one like dave
Breathe out, so I can breathe you in.
Hold you in.
Most beautiful words written in any song.
Same
I think the most beautiful lyrics are “If everything could ever feel this real forever, if anything could be this good again.”
Literally never gets old
Good music has no sell by date
You're not wrong, Poo.
Literally
@@dan003 🙏🏻
Such a gorgeous song-acoustic amplifies.
What a legend
People don’t realize the depth of making music. It’s so much more than the end product. It’s the journey
You're absolutely right, Basically that is what Art in genereal is all about. It's the process. It's painful and it's beautiful. Sometimes incredibly hard, other times feels like you can walk on water. Worst part is. When you come to the end of the journey. You only get to enjoy it one time. Then you grow tired of it and start from the beginning on a new project. Good times.
But I imagine that especially with songs. You get to enjoy them multiple times because every performance is going to be a journey in itself.
sry for talking so much.
Music just doesn't have the same feel anymore. I remember just sitting in my room listening to music. The younger generation has so many distractions now. Internet, video games and cell phones. If only people could just listen, really listen there would be more appreciation for music.
@@dannahinojosa1934 every generation says this. Welcome to being old.
Making and listening to music is such a magical universal experience. It’s a love language in my experience across dimensions. Makes me feel connected to myself, nature, others and possibilities around the corner (for me and many) = transcendental💖🌸💝🦄
@@race38dirt nah it's not because you're old, it's true. I'm 16 and I think that music today is just mostly bad. The most famous rappers and pop stars can make a song in an hour and it could be a hit. Music isn't made the way it used to be and it honestly sucks.
This song saved me from myself when my best friend was murdered a few years ago. I know Dave will never see this. But thank you so much.
Edit. Thanks for the kind words from everyone. You guys rock. 🤟🤟
Let’s make this this number one comment so Dave’s does see it.
Yes check this out Dave ... You are so awesome! Thanks
I'm sorry for your tragic loss. Glad you found your strength in music. Many lives are saved by sound and words that come in the right moment . we're lucky to have that to hold us up .
Dam bro. I'm sorry. Music is for the soul my dude you gotta rock out to heal.
@@NK-bz9wb great comment
