Everlong by Foo Fighters. What's it about?

[iheartruby]

Hi guys, just wondered if anyone had any interpretations of what this song is about?

[Katie~77]

Hi, love Everlong, one of my favourite songs ever! I've copied and pasted the following from Wikipedia -

Dave Grohl has stated in Kerrang! Magazine (May 2005) that one-time girlfriend and Veruca Salt vocalist Louise Post is mainly the inspiration for the song and wrote it about their "...crazy, retarded, passionate, freak-out relationship" at the time. Grohl also stated that he thought it was a Sonic Youth rip off.

Hope this helps.x

hi katie, i adore the song too but never worked out what he was meaning. the accoustic version off the david letterman show is my fav. x

I think its about how he was sooooo in love and you got that real lovey dovey feeling and you dont want it to stop.

Yes I agree. The bit that I'm wondering over is "you've got to promise not to stop when i say when" when i say when?
