Not a lot of people know that DG wrote this when TH was recovering from an overdose years and years ago. Today, having known of Taylor's passing, listening to this just hits so much harder. A truly sad day, where I carry a heavy heart. Rest easy, legend 🖤

This is a song Dave wrote for Taylor when he almost died. They were soulmates, twins... When one had short hair, the other had too. When long, both. When beard or shaved, too. I can´t imagine what´s Dave going through right now. Part of him just died forever. Maybe Taylor is free now. Who knows what awaits us after... It´s always harder for those who stay though. Taylor was always symbol of fullfiled dreams for me. If you imagine that kid growing up, worshipping his favourite bands. And every one of those dreams came true. He played with everybody. Hope he´s living his biggest dream right now. Forever.

This hits harder knowing the passing of Taylor Hawkins today. Rest In Peace forever.

Hearing the story behind this song, I know Dave says it's "about Taylor" but I really think it's about how Dave himself was "On The Mend, My Friend" after hearing that Taylor would recover when he was in that coma. It shows what they mean to eachother, what the whole band mean to each other in the Foo Family and what the band means to us, their fans. Music won't be the same for me again. RIP Taylor

this song has a different meaning now. thank you taylor for everything, too soon, too young.

Descanse en paz Taylor Hawkins, el mejor baterista de los últimos años sin duda.

This song hits differently when you know it's about Taylor. I've loved Foo Fighters since I was a child.This is definitely hurting. Rest in Peace, Taylor.

One more day that I've survived Another night alone Pay no mind I'm doing fine I'm breathing on my own I'm here And I'm on the mend I'm here And I'm on the mend my friend Wake me when the hour arrives Wake me with my name See you somewhere down the line We're tethered once again I'm here And I'm on the mend I'm here And I'm on the mend my friend I'm here And I'm on the mend I'm here And I'm on the mend my friend Was it you? Sat alone Here we go Close and stay a while To take me where you go Single file we walk the mile Who's wandering back home I'm here And I'm on the mend I'm here And I'm on the mend my friend I'm here And I'm on the mend I'm here And I'm on the mend my friend Was it you? Sat alone Here we go Here we go Here we go Here we go

On the Mend was always a beautiful song, but this live version is simply gorgeous. I found this version while I was on the recovery from something that nearly destroyed me, and it was apropos that I send it and its first verse and chorus to a friend who came running worried.

Absolutely one of my favorite bands of all time

One of my favorite songs ever, and this version is absolutely stunning. It's always made me tear up, but listening to it now after finding out about an hour ago that Taylor Hawkins has died... Rest in peace, Taylor.

That outro, wow

A month later and I can’t watch this without crying. Dave is really physically moving while playing this and I have to think he’s trying not to become emotional. This song means so much and always will.

On repeat today just sobbing 😭😭😭 RIP TAYLOR don't think you realized how many lives you touched hope you and Neil are already drumming it out together

at 1:30 it can be seen that Dave smiles when he says we're tethered once again Thinking that I would not lose Taylor who was in the process of recovery beautiful and emotional love song😙❤😢

I don't know how all of these guys are going to play a tribute show. 25 years of being on stage with Taylor. I think it is going to be heartbreaking, as a fan, to watch. To know that an era has ended and he will never be behind the drums again.

I wonder if Taylor ever considered how many lives he has touched and how deeply he was loved❤

I heard this song for the first time today. Yeah, it's the first time I've ever found this song in my life. About 15 years late. No matter how long it's been, I could tell right away what this song was about. He is anxious for the recovery of his beloved friend. I'm glad Dave got his friend back and was able to play this song with him. They're still making music together and I'm glad I can hear it in this far country.

I turn to the foo for my lowest points in life. Now. More than ever, their music heals our broken hearts. Someday we will be on the mend, my friends. 😭

Top 5 Foo's track. The acoustic portion of "In Your Honor" is so next level. Just brilliant

I love the album version, but this version is stunning. The emotion in Dave’s voice. Dave really can nail ballads as well as rock

Dave wrote this song when Taylor was in a coma many years ago... so heartfelt. I feel for everyone impacted by the loss of Taylor. Taken too early. But with us forever.

You will always be missed, Taylor. What a human being we all had the chance to know through these years. Forever in our hearts.

The trio acoustic solo all playing within each other at the end with Dave, Pat and Chris is superb. Very talented guys. I just wonder if we will ever see the Foos again after the untimely death of Taylor. Half of days yes I hope so the other half says nows the time to end ❤

I was at this concert! It was awesome!

To every person close to Taylor (Family, Friends, Band, close people), I want to send you all my strength to face such a hard moment. I am so sorry for your loss, which is also ours. I was lucky enough to see him last week at the Lollapalloza- Argentina, and listen to him sing Somebody to Love and enjoy with us, his fans. A big hug.

This song always makes me cry. Now more than ever. Fly away in peace, grunge Hawk...

I think this is my favourite one among all the Foo Fighters' songs... it makes me fly

Beautiful and underrated song

New acoustic record. How fast time passes

Rest In Peace Taylor. I am truly honored that I got too see you three times live. As a drummer you where one of my favorite drummers of all time right alongside your frontman. You where the definition of a hard hitting drummer and its so sad to know we will never get to see or hear you wack the skins again.

The way Dave watches Taylor just before start playing... R.I.P Ty 🖤

I can’t imagine what Dave is going through. He’s such a loving guy and to lose another best friend is just unspeakable! He’s in my prayers daily🙏

Im having a really hard time with Taylor's passing, the fact that his heart was so enlarged, that the Foo Family will never be the same without Tay. I cant possibly imagine how Dave is doing. I found out when i was in the hospital for a month & a half. Thank God i could listen to my music. I keep saying Im gutted. I am. Theres just so, so much more. But thats enough. We, I, miss you SO badly Taylor, my son is named Taylor & I m as prpud of you as i am of my Tay. RIP you beautiful earthling.

I keep coming back to this since the news of Taylor’s death. I really hope the Foos, especially Dave will eventually be On the Mend after this loss 💔

Gorgeous song. One of the best Foo songs there is.

Pat at 4:33 is pure joy. RIP Hawk ❤️

Miss you Taylor 🖤 Sending love to Dave and Taylor's loved ones, and everybody here celebrating the amazing guy Taylor was.

Man, Taylor...I've never wished so hard that something wasn't true. 🥺💔 fly high legend.

R.I.P. Taylor thank you for the music

I JUST wantta know WHY?!!!!!!!!😢😢😢😢 Such a beautiful soul💔💔😔 DON'T think I'll ever get over this!!!

Rest in beats, Taylor 😥

I always loved "Cold day in the Sun" as well.

Ontem dormi ouvindo essa música, ainda não tinha recebido a notícia, que dia triste. Descanse em paz Taylor, que Deus possa te receber na alegria do céu

I love this song even though it hurts my heart. I don’t think it will ever mend . RIP Taylor

This song is a masterpiece. It means everything about love in friendships. I cry every time I listen -with tears of gratitude and bittersweet memories. ❤

Best song on the album.

Fly Taylor! We Love u

11/24/14 I awoke from a coma alone in the icu after my heart stopped from an accidental hospital overdose two blood clots snd an embolism . My husband came back to the hospital after getting the kids off to school with the expectation that I would be taken off life support. I was sitting up and awake . I was way out of it and struggling but I was on the mend . He didn’t write me as song but he certainly is my best friend and I’m glad I was able to learn to walk and eat again so I could start over one more time . This song reminds me of that very moment 💜

one of FF's best for sure.

Man, what a good song

1:40 dave playing virtual hi-hat

La canción más bonita jamás tocada en vivo por los Foo Fighters en Skin & Bones, para el mejor baterista de todos los tiempos.. Taylor Hawkins... Descansa en paz hermanito, te vamos a extrañar con toda nuestra alma y corazón... Te amamos todos y te damos las gracias por ayudarnos a estrenar tu Live Debut de Love Dies Young que Dave Grohl nos obsequió este 15 de Marzo... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

The most beautiful heart wrenching song ever written.

I'm so sorry. This is so tragic! RIP Taylor, your incredible spirit can never die!

So beautiful. This is my favorite song of the whole DVD. But I love it all so much. Best concert film I know of.

Rest in peace! Legend! Everlong Taylor! 🙏🖤🔥🤘🫀

Not a lot of people know, but Dave wrote this song for Taylor when he had an overdose in 2001. Such a beautiful love long to his friend. So sad he’s gone! 😢

Honestly never heard this song before, but found myself here after Taylor's death. Can only imagine how Dave is feeling after losing his best friend, also feel for his family and the rest of the band of course. Man this sucks. RIP Taylor 💔

Descansa en paz leyenda... 💔

This is my favorite Foo Fighters song. Rest in heaven, Taylor! 🙏❤

#RIPTaylorHawkins!! Too bad we couldn't get this song to #1 on Spotify to show our love to the Foos!! Anyone?

loved it then love it now. but seeing it live, damn. taylor showing his appreciation on skins. what a great friendship.

Special song, about Taylor ❤️

I've seen this so many times 💔😢🖤 . Cry every fkn time.

R.i.p. Taylor... you broke my heart ❤️

R.I.P. Taylor, we miss you with us !

RIP Taylor. We lost a good one tonight.

Taylor … my God … thank you. Thank you for what you brought to the music of my life🙏🏼 safe passage

La cara de Pat en el minuto 4:33 cuando mira a Dave es todo lo que está bien 👏

I'm still here, crying, hanging around the comments on these videos... But I decided to do something today that I should have done a long time ago but kept putting it off. I got an electric guitar which for some reason has never worked with any amp or lead I've tried, I can't play, I tried teaching myself acoustic but it was too hard on my hands, so... I'm getting it repaired and I'm going to learn. I taught myself how to play Smells Like Teen Spirit on my daughters ukulele today and really enjoyed it. Life's too damn short to keep putting stuff off. I play piano, but guitar and drums are my jam, I could steal my dads drum kit but I don't think my neighbours would be too happy so the guitar it is. If it's not fixable I've already chosen which one I'm going to buy. I'll come back to this comment in six months. That's how long I'm giving myself to learn the basics.

Definitely a song you can listen to over and over again

Taylor... rest in peace now beautiful angel

THAT ENDING THO🔥

My God this song is one of my favorites. It's so good Dave's voice. I really love. ❤🖤🥰

That ending was inspiring. So good.

The guitar arrangements in this song will always be my favourites. holy fuck

To me this is the most beautiful song from this session. Was so lucky to have been present for 2 of the 3 nights when this magic happened. Just so sad that this track didn't make it to the CD release and only DVD release.

First time hearing this. Pulled it up after hearing Dave speak about it on the documentary. Fly High, Taylor ❤️ Love you, Dave.

Rest in Peace, Taylor, you'll be greatly missed 💔

We all love you Taylor. Rest in peace brother.

RIP legend

I am in love with this video, and the song!

Hits so hard now. I feel for the whole band and their family. Dave and Pat went through this with Kurt and you never want to go through that crap again and here they are. Constant prayers for all of them. Like Kurt Taylor had so much left to do….

It's lush seeing Taylor on the drums again, and what a beautiful song, I can relate to this song as I too am morning someone close. God bless you guys

Demais, esse dueto de violões do Dave com o pat smear no final ficou épico demais

RIP (Rock In Peace) Taylor.

R.I.P Taylor Hawkins you’ll be forever missed.Energy doesn’t cease to exist it transforms.

RIP Taylor, this song was for you

questa canzone mi fa molto piangere, perché Dave l'ha scritta quando Taylor aveva avuto l'overdose che lo aveva quasi ucciso, diversi anni fa. Non oso immaginare cosa provi Dave ora, come tutte le persone che volevano bene a Taylor, del resto. Riposa in pace, amico.

Brasil ❤ como eu esperei postarem essa versão de on the mend !

please make this version available on music streams, it is sensational!!!

Gorgeous song.

We all are on the mend aren’t we? Just keep pushing forward. RIP Taylor you and Neil can play together again.

This one really hurts now. RIP Taylor :(

It really tear me up 🥺😢😭

Aun no entiendo, no caigo... tengo un nudo en la garganta y el corazón partido. Me puedo quedar en loop en ese día domingo mientras los volvía a ver en el LollaArg. Los Foo son la banda de mi vida y Taylor era su alma por tantas cosas. Voy a estar agradecida siempre por haberlos encontrado, porque su música me llegara y disfrutarlos en vivo siempre que pude. Los días que siguen serán peores hoy solo abrazo a cada fan y mando fuerzas para Dave y el grupo resista tanto dolor.

I’m here every night. I love this. 🥰

I love to hear David’s voice like this. So emotional

One of the best performance in live concert!!! Forever Foo Fighter
