I think I can spend all my time just watching all the different versions of this on RU-vid. What an anthem it has become. An ode to life as we know it nowadays!
This is the first time I have seen this version. I'm a UK citizen that has lived in Australia for the last 15 years. I used to love listening to the Live Lounge on BBC Radio 1 when I lived in the UK. Because I now live in Australia, I was about 2 years late in first hearing the Live Lounge Allstars version of this. I loved it! When I saw the Foo Fighters play live here a few months ago, they played the slow acoustic version for the first couple of verses. I'm nearly 60 years old and I was in tears! As you say, it is both an anthem and an "ode to life as we know it nowadays".
You're legendary when you can carry a song along, just an acoustic guitar, a microphone, nothing more. Very few artists today could do what Dave Grohl makes look easy.
This Man has the unique ability to "Get you" with both an amazing acoustic version ..... and a huge arena version of the same song! Dave Grohl I love you!!!
A truly great song can be sung in many different ways and this is a perfect example of how to do it. The guitar sound is superb and Dave's voice carries the words and makes them hang in the air. A great song.
I loved this song the first time I heard it in 2003. I bought this cd overseas in the Navy exchange in Crete, Greece naval base! Played the cd a million times at sea! Great memories!
My god, his voice has this quality about it that just give me butterflies. I don't know WHY but it just does. I don't care if he is crooning or screaming, it just does something to my brain, and my feelings. I LOVE this guy!!!🥰🥰😍😘😆😘💓
daves the man. i reckon from what iv seen with interviews etc. he takes his time out of his day to talk to a radio station in little old nz just seem like a good genuine guy
8:a m in iowa! Dave, you have brought me through some very troubled times as well as lifted my spirits to the heavens. But this... this is something beyond words. I'm not a poet . I will say thank you. For these times! I am learning to live and love again.
I think this version of the song is probably one of the best,the acoustic version gives so much more meaning and depth to the song. I think this is pure poetry and my favourite line is "I, I'm a new day rising I'm a brand new sky to hang the stars upon tonight" that's what I think anyway. THANK YOU DAVE
Makes me emotional knowing Taylor has gone RIP thanks for the gig in London won’t ever forget you seeing under pressure!!!! And the mental drum solo that went on for about 8 minutes mega!!!!
Sick from drug use currently thinking about horrible things... I have Kept it a secret from everyone in my life, family, work and friends except my wife and currently she is about to leave. But somehow for some reason she is still here trying to help after 8 years. 8 years of horrible things and she is still here. 8 years of moving, 8 years of, starting over again, 8 years of lies. 8 years of hell....... we moved from jersey to Florida because I didn't want to come up positive for a drug test for heroin. words can't explain the guilt I feel. Putting someone I love threw so much pain. So glad that music like this exsist. Trying to find a rehab for really cheap or even better....free and fix my life. I just had to tell somebody, trying my hardest to do the right thing. I love you ashley
A doctor saved my life last week as i nearly ended up making a fatal decision due to an increase in meds which sent ne crackers. I went through a difficult time and i'm not there yet but i'm learning how to live again, give and give again and love again.
