"Everlong (Acoustic)" strips down the song many fans consider the Foo Fighters' signature, the one that followed "Monkey Wrench" off The Colour and the Shape back in August 1997. Dave Grohl wrote the words and the music, and Geoff Turner recorded this unplugged take.
In an acoustic setting the song's bones show through: the ache and the longing were always there under the noise, and here they sit right up front. It's also the song drummer Taylor Hawkins played live for the last time before he died in March 2022, which gives any quiet version of it a heavier weight now.
