Everlong by Foo Fighters

I was first mystified by the Foo Fighters because of Dave Grohl. Famous for being the drummer of Nirvana, it's surprising to see him fronting his own band, singing and playing guitar. He was one my of 1st musical idols (the others being Noel Gallagher and later Rico Blanco) for the sheer fact that he wrote most of the songs for Foo Fighters.

In The Colour and the Shape, Grohl played guitar, sang the vocals and did the drum parts. I was amazed of how someone can do all of this things and how I wished I was the same. I remember reading in the Time Magazine (we had a subscription then) that the band even tried to be "intelligent" with the spelling of "colour" in the albums title. The Colour and the Shape was one of my favorite albums during HS.


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
