27 years ago today, my favorite band of all time, Foo Fighters, released arguably their best album to date, The Colour and the Shape. And one of the songs on the album, “Everlong”, is not only one of the best Foos songs but also, in my opinion, one of the best love songs ever.
I already blogged about the acoustic version of “Everlong” in a previous Song of the Moment post, so tonight I will share a bit about the original version. Why is it a great Foos song and a great love song? I will give a few reasons: (1) the sweet, exciting rock instrumentals and (2) the chorus. Man. The chorus.
If everything could ever feel this real forever
Foo Fighters’ “Everlong”
If anything could ever be this good again
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
She sang
I will write more about this song soon as part of the Listen blogging series, but for now, I will keep listening to “Everlong” and the other amazing songs from The Colour and the Shape tonight. And I suggest you check out the Foos’ magnum opus as well.
That is all.
