Dave Grohl is just an awesome guy. Years ago, in Tasmania Australia, some miners got trapped in the mine they were working in and requested an iPod with just Foo Fighters songs on it to pass the time. When Dave Grohl heard that, he sent them a message saying "When you guys get out of that mine, there will be free tickets for any show in the world waiting for you!"

The abusers know how to get the best of you, to hook you in, and then they get the best of you when they smash you to pieces. Ironically, I was in a narcissistic, abusive relationship. During the love bombing stage, he got the best. I shared Everlong with him. My favorite love song that doesn't even say love. The Foo Fighters have this song, too, for how things can turn out. On a brighter note, they are David Letterman's favorite band. After his heart surgery, they canceled their short tour in South America to play on his first show after surgery. They also played Everlong, Letterman's favorite FF song, on his final show. ❤

He is now 22 years old and I sent him this song and told him I hope it gives him strength, because in my time of need it strengthened me.

Look up Dave's PBS Newshour interview from 2018, there's greatness in it. He doesn't care what anyone believes, has faith in, this side or that.....he just wants people to have fun and forget all the sh!t that's waiting outside that concert venue. The lyrics in this song to me are definitely doubles, he wants people to interpret the music how they see it, not how he thinks it should be. He is a unique human, his speech at Lemmy's funeral was one of the best ways I've ever seen someone Memorialize a friend/loved one. *My Hero & Walking After You* are two of my favorites that you haven't reacted to yet.

Wikipedia-"Best Of You" was one of the first compositions for In Your Honor, written by Dave Grohl in his garage following his involvement on the campaign trail for John Kerry. Once the Foo Fighters recorded a demo, they shelved it feeling they could do better. It was only brought back for further production by manager John Silva, who felt "Best of You"'s absence while listening to what they had recorded that far. Taylor Hawkins declared that it was the only song from the rock disc of that album that remained from the original sessions along with "No Way Back". Grohl stated that while many of his songs start with the music and lyrics come last, the words for "Best of You" were fast to write. Given the Kerry rallies inspired him to do "all these songs about breaking away from the things that confine you", thus came "a song of resistance. It’s about the refusal to be taken advantage of by something that’s bigger than you, or someone you’re in love with. It’s the fight in the face of adversity." Grohl added that "Most people think it's a love song but it's meant to be more universal, which I think is one of the reasons so many people sing along when we play it." The composition had no interest in "an interesting melody", instead featuring "a rhythm that we'd never really used on any of the other albums." The focus was on a strong performance, where Grohl could "scream the whole way through". During the first rehearsals, Grohl came close to injuring his throat and felt afraid of being unable to perform live, but eventually considered he could pull it off as "when you go out and sing words from the heart, you scream twice as hard.”

Thank you for posting that. Fits well with BP's interpretation. Wasn't really feeling the angst of the music with all the upheavals in my life recently, but the intellectual side of it makes for a really good all-around song. Just a matter of what I prefer to focus my attention on at the time - a much needed reminder.

The Foo Fighters have many hits, and there's a reason why they are in the Rock n Roll Hall of fame and for Dave Grohl a 2 time Rock n Roll HOF . You should listen to Them Crooked Vultures which was another band he was in and was basically a supergroup. With John Paul Jones on bass ( Led Zeppelin) and Josh Homme vocals and guitar ( Queens of the Stone age) Dave Grohl on drums ( Nirvana and Foo Fighters). You could pick any song from that album, and you couldn't go wrong. Dave Grohl drumming is amazing in that whole album. Thanks for the content.

I have a really great story about this song. I went to a Foo Fighters concert in 2017. During this song, the crowd was doing the vocalization. We got to a point where the vocalizations were supposed to be over, but we kept doing it. Dave stopped the band and said "What the fuck are you doing? That's not how the song ends. I want to finish the song. Do you want to finish the song?" It was so much fun! Foo Fighter Recommendation: "Times Like These" From the Taylor Hawkins Memorial Concert, "Rescued", "No Son of Mine", "But Here We Are", "Waiting on a War", ""Long Road to Ruin", "Hey Johnny Park!", and "Saint Cecilia."
