Everlong

This is my all-time most favorite Foo Fighters song. For a few months earlier this year, this was what I listened to in the morning to wake myself up. I just wanted to share it.

Check out the studio track of the song and its accompanying prose below. I couldn't find the music video of the song on YouTube that allowed me to embed the song in my blog so the studio track will have to do.



Everlong
by the Foo Fighters

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 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

Breathe out
So I could 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

And I wonder
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 went looking for the acoustic version of the song on YouTube. I have the Skin and Bones acoustic live DVD, so I figured this would be a good compliment for this post.



Such a feel-good song. I'm usually drawn to songs of a more somber note. But this is definitely an exception. I wanna be like David Grohl. Oh how I wish.

END OF LINE....

This is my favorite also, "somber" and "feel good" at the same time. Thanks for sharing.
