No clue im guessing it just sounded good in the song life will be over before you know it and what did you do work your life away for things you really didn’t need in the end. And how much better life would be if we could just stop and again a beautiful day, a river, maybe just the sun. I believe these lyrics are just used to paint a picture of a purer time like I stated before a empty town where no one could interfere with their love. so dave grohl paints a picture of what their relationship would be like if only this world was, how it should be, much more simpler.if only her and him could be together without the complexity of everyday life. i believe somehow life has gotten in the way of their relationship. The song is a love song no doubt, but i believe it goes way in more dept then that. Definitely one of the last good rock bands. Reason:įirst off let me say this is a wonderful song the foo fighters are simply amazing. if i listen to this song more often, i could connect to this song, which is what it could be about, a guy who feels strong love to another woman but they don't feel the same way about them. the groovy video clip doesn't make me feel any hurt when i listen to this song, but i have felt before that i feel i love someone and they don't feel the same way about me, which has hurt me. this song seems like to be about someone who cannot get what he wants and is prepared to pay any price to get it. also ambitious because the song and the film clip is so different to the foo fighters usual style, but this song just shows you how much of a talent and how versatile dave grohl is with his songwriting skills. this seemed like a very ambitious thing to release as their 2nd song considering it was released behind 1 of their most successful tracks ever, in 'the pretender' (probably their 2nd most successful song behind the immortal 'best of you'). if i listen to this song more often, i could connect to this song, which is what it could be about, a guy who feels strong love to another woman but they don't feel the same way about them.Īlthough from a personal point of view it's not the greatest foo fighters song of all time, it's still alright.

Although from a personal point of view it's not the greatest foo fighters song of all time, it's still alright.
