Played acoustic and live here, "Everlong" goes back to The Colour and the Shape, the Foo Fighters' second album. Dave Grohl wrote the words, Gil Norton produced the original, and Capitol sent it out as the album's second single in August 1997, when it reached number 3 on the US alternative chart.
It's often called the band's signature song, and in 2021 Rolling Stone ranked it 409th among the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It carries extra weight now: "Everlong" was the last song drummer Taylor Hawkins played live before his death in March 2022, and the loss sent it back onto the charts, giving the band their first appearance on the Billboard Global 200, at 123.
