This song used to make me think it was about Dave thinking about Kurt and now I think it’s about Dave thinking about Taylor and I’m thinking too much about thinking and I hate that there’s no T. One of the GOATs. RIP.
As our 32 year old son's hearse left his funeral, a guard of honour was formed, this song rang out loud and clear, he was our Hero, a 7 year battle with Brain Cancer, fought with dignity and grace.
To my adored son; Losing you took the roar out of my lion heart, the sun out of my sky...I am not capable of understanding why you were taken away so young, I cannot express to the universe enough how meaningful, amazing and good you were, now everyday is cruel...it’s brutal, your absence is like an elephant on my chest...I miss you, Oh god, I miss you so much! I have accepted life gets no better than the 20 amazing years, I was blessed with you. I promise to honor your life and one day sweet boy, I will hold you again...I know you are with me because I wouldn’t still be here if you weren’t. Lifetimes of Love...Mom💔 •Kyle David StrIckland• ~6/17/97~1/21/18~
lost my son, Ryan, 35 , a month ago. I had a fairly calm day today. I had a few wines tonight and listened to this… and it was all over but for the tears…love this song.
i'm reading through this comment section with tears in my eyes, its beautiful to see all of you share such emotional stories about your personal connections with this song.
To my three brothers and sister of the Houston Fire Department who gave the ultimate sacrifice. God bless and rest easy.. We got this!! 05/31/2013 last call
"There goes my hero, he's ordinary." Simple.. yet so powerful and profound. We all have heroes that are ordinary. This song will always mean so much to me. More than words could explain.
Yung Nic he did not, he wrote it about ordinary people like you and me, people out there who put their life on the line to save others. Paramedics... teachers... construction workers... rescue divers... etc.
@@BoxOfCurryos I believe it's about what you're saying. However, he did this scream live at Wembley, straight sounded like something Kurt would do. I think he wrote it with those intentions, but it kind of turned into a reminder of multiple different people in his life, such as Kurt.
Heard this song for the first time right after my dad passed away. I was on my way home from the hospice house where his body gave in to cancer. I lost him at a young age and he truly was my hero. I wouldn't be who I am today if not for him.
me to man my dad passes a month and a half ago at hospice from cancer but i used to play this song on guitar and sing all the time and he loved it i remember 1 time it was about a week before i was leaving to sam diego i played it one last time and it brought a tear to his eye... im 15 and man so many years are gonna go with out him... it sucks
+Paul Jamilkowski Man that hurt in the feelings! So sorry for your loss. Your comment felt like a knife stab through the fabric of my emotions. Hope you heal well.
HAWAIIRAMSFAN7 my sons name is chandler, he is 5 months old and will sometimes only fall asleep while listening to this song. So sorry for your loss ❤️
This was the song playing in the room when my son was born. I tear up every time I hear it. When I saw them perform it live I totally lost it. Beautiful.
I come here when I need to cry. There's nothing that can consistently make me shed big manly tears quite like this version of this song. Everybody be sure to appreciate your heroes while they are still here.
This song makes me think of all the truckers, nurses, retail workers, and others during these times working with low pay providing us the services and goods that are vital Im proud of all of them!
This song always makes me think of healthcare workers. The ones that saved my husbands life, changed my life that day. I don’t know their names, or all the faces involved, they were just doing their job that day. Ordinary people. This song makes me feel very emotional.
same here why is it always the good people in your lives have to go away. to my dad floyd rogers and my big brother barry rogers i love you and i know i will find you in heaven/ your daughter and little sister julie
Just saw a Kobe Bryant Tribute video with the song playing... now I’m going to think of him every time this plays. Thank you Foo Fighters for making heart touching memories like this. R.I.P. Kobe & Gianna Bryant.
I played this song on my sisters funeral. She died alone, and I found her, in her bed. I’ve been through hell in life but nothing was as hard as losing my sister. She was my big sister, my best friend, my rock, my hero. I miss her more than words can comprehend. She didn’t get to meet the love of my life, she won’t get to be there on my wedding day, she won’t get to be there for other milestones. It was a Muslim funeral so no songs or TV is allowed for 40 days during the period of mourning. But I kept listening to this song on my earphones when she died, it helped me get through the hardest and saddest days of my life. She will always be my hero. I love you Tan. Always do and always will❤️
My son's are my hero's. Going through a separation with my wife after almost 20 years, which has been the hardest situation I've had to deal with and if it wasn't for my son, I wouldn't be here today enjoying all of my children if it wasn't for my son's. When I as down, my middle son, he'd come over and hold on to me, telling me that he loves me and that I'll be ok, while trying to whole his tears because he knows how bad I've been hurting. What an amazing boy he is. All of them are. I'm not one who cries and I especially don't care for my son's to see there Dad cry but, I'd breakdown in front of them at times but I try to keep it together so they won't cry. Then my youngest son, he would do the same but, at night time, my 5 year old would ask me if i can have Mommy move back home so we can be a family again and it breaks my heart to see my son's hurting so much at there respective ages, let alone having them see there father hurting. My oldest son, he's my helper. He's about to start driving, soon, so we know what he'll be doing. Grocery shopping. He's been my buddy for almost 16 years now. He's growing up way too fast for my liking. He's the one who helps me deal with his younger brothers, by keeping them all together, while I'm not there because he knows how it's affected them and he knows what it means to me. I don't have to say anything to him, he just knows what to do He's amazing. He's one of those kids who people say, I wish my son would act like that. I'm so proud of him and all he's accomplished so far I'm life, with the difficulties he's endured. I couldn't ask for better son's, I already have them. They're my rocks to lean on. Again, my son's are my hero's. God knew what I needed in life and He blessed me with these amazing son's, just so I wouldn't do something stupid. What a song to recognize a hero and what a band to express the lyrics the way they do and how awesome are my son's God bless
Incredible story my man...truly comes from the heart,no doubt,reading those lines....Be proud of who you are,be proud of who they become - with you being the one who made them what they are! You can truly be proud of your boys - AND mostly of yourself! Hang in there man,I know this stuff all too well....
Such a positive take on a bad situation. I admire you and your sons. I am going through the same. My son is 5, and i was with my wife for 17 years. Watching him figuring it out is so difficult for me. But sometimes I think he is stronger than I am.
Mucha gente cuestiona el dolor ante la muerte de un ídolo o una estrella de la música que nunca te conoció, pero sabes? El si hizo parte de tu vida a través de su arte, de su talento, del inmenso amor por lo que hacía. Taylor, cada día extrañamos más tu presencia pero inmortalizamos más tu legado, gracias por tanto! Siempre estarás con nosotros! ❤️
Uno termina teniendo una conexión con sus ídolos, ellos terminan haciendo parte de nuestra vida y sentimos que los conocemos. Es una especie de "convivencia" invisible que tenemos con ellos a través de la música. Entiendo perfectamente porque me pasa lo mismo. Bueno, y ni decir que hay que sumar que los Foo Fighters se nota que son super buena onda, seres humanos normales a pesar de la fama tan brutal que tienen. ¡Salud por nuestros ídolos! Los que están y los que se han ido. 🍷💫
This song came up in a playlist on the 2nd anniversary of my dad passing away. As soon as the chorus kicked in I teared up big time. All while walking through Brisbane's CBD.
To all the firefighters and rescue crews fighting there asses off to control the countless fires!! I met 1 who is extremely special they all are !! My hero's 💯💞
I lost my big brother in february, my hero, my everything, we grew up together, tought me everything i know. Words cant explain what he means to me and forever will, he kept his head held high even in disease, this songs just hits in every single part of my soul, as we used to rock to it. There is no more pain man, rest now, see you down the road, i love you forever.
This song holds a place in my heart for my first dog that passed away. It was the first time I lost anything close to me and she's my hero, for teaching me that harsh reality of life! RIP Bocephus!!
mad122780 I hope this song gives you comfort. You will see her again over the Rainbow 🌈 Bridge. A dogs love is pure and unconditional That’s why we love them so much
This song makes me remember my oldest friend, he left 1 year ago, I miss him so much, he was so brave and fought until the end in his sickness... He was a hero
Dave can mix with politicians, brainiacs or dregs of the night. He is truely my hero. He also has his roots planted firmly on the ground. Not many musicians have his vision, humor and candor to let you into his personal space. Keep making music, Dave! Love and support from NJ!
This song and this version of it makes me think of my brother.. he’s still alive. But, he’s been there for me when I had absolutely nothing. He taught me what it means to be a good man and how to love others. And he inspires me to keep going, no matter what. The man I am today owes homage to him. He’s my big brother.. but he’s also my best friend. I love you brother💙
"My Hero" Too alarming now to talk about Take your pictures down and shake it out Truth or consequence, say it aloud Use that evidence, race it around There goes my hero Watch him as he goes There goes my hero He's ordinary Don't the best of them bleed it out While the rest of them peter out Truth or consequence, say it aloud Use that evidence, race it around There goes my hero Watch him as he goes There goes my hero He's ordinary Kudos, my hero Leaving all the best You know my hero The one that's on There goes my hero Watch him as he goes There goes my hero He's ordinary There goes my hero Watch him as he goes There goes my hero He's ordinary
Kurt and Dave are my heroes. They’re the ones who encouraged me to get into music. No music is so hugely important in my life. They have changed me and I just wanted to say thank you.
something about daves passion and this bands music that works so perfectly with an acoustic guitar... can not get enough. don't stop guys, don't ever stop. this song especially pulled me thru a lot of really rough years.
Often in my life I have seen troubles; I had turbulences and I thought I wouldn't find a way out of situation. But I listen to Foo Fighters Music especially more in those situations. And this acoustic version of My Hero, is my "life-song". So now I play it by myself every time I feel weak....every time I feel good and want to give someone else some power. This is a song that is played by heart and gives strength. I love it
As we mourn we have these gifts from Kurt and now Taylor.. Dave definitely loved and will now again share another song.. beautiful and legend at best! 🖤🎵☮️💔🤘
I was just messing around with RUclips, never really heard this song acoustic like this.. made me think of my dad... He's still living, 74 and living with me... And, I'm gonna give him the biggest hug in the morning..... He is my hero....
this I think could possibly be the best version of this beautiful piece of poetry. emotionally powerful with every word spoken every note played. if this was the last thing I hear before I died I'd go with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. God bless you dave grohl for this absolute masterpiece...
im doing this song in music with my band and reading the comment section nearly got me in tears as my grandma died before easter i wish i could still hug her she will always will be with me
I'm out to this at work rocking out and tears are swelling. Total goofball. Man, this rocks! Dave rocks his soul for ours and the world is a better place for it. A true artist. I wish more would be as brave to be so raw and honest in their art as he is. His music is truly a gift.
my dad, omg, he he was my hero, died on Christmas day 2014. We used to listen to this together. He would always say, "I was just an ordinary guy". Extraordinary dad. You worked 2 jobs to put food on the table and never complained. I miss you pop.
this song is hard for me to hear i to lost my dad last year. as i sat by his bed while his eyes slowly turned to gray. this sound just replayed in my head. love ya dad
My heroes are protected. I ask for protection to spread my wings & turn over new 🍂... Filled with love, kindness & happiness. I ask safe travels to my new home where this Proud momma can wake up next to her 🐾🐾🐾. 💍 Amen to God & The Foo.
Wow this version is awesome, so great, so heartfelt. The piano solo was sick too. Started soft and finished so powerful. Easily the best version I've heard.
This wonderful song makes us aware of family, friends and community, and those whose thoughts or actions, whether mental or physical, subtle or aggressive, made a significant impression in our lives.
When I first heard this song, I fell in love with it, it reminds me about all the people who have come and gone in my life and all those who have stayed. It reminds me of how much of a hero my father is, about all the love and affection he gave me throughout the years. I just hope he realizes that
I agree, so much emotion in this track, 100% genius track, Mr cobain would be proud. always wondered how much musical impact dave put into nirvana though.

He's still with you,I'd like to believe.
That’s a sad thing to hear :(
RIP Taylor, you were a true rock n’ roll Hero. 🤘🏻 💔
Yes he was...
Music is SUCH a powerful thing...read the comments and try to tell me otherwise
Music is the most powerful form of art but these comments are unbelievable
@@mikehoncho6489 literally its so sad
I agree They still play hard and in grace
Omg thanks now im crying reading these comments
why would anyone tell u otherwise?
"There goes my hero, he's ordinary." Simple.. yet so powerful and profound. We all have heroes that are ordinary. This song will always mean so much to me. More than words could explain.
This version, this song... I dont know how many times this have saved me.
So glad that it has helped you. Me too. I come back to this song and version often.
Tom Petty said it best: music is pure magic. It moves, it communicates, it heals. It's probably the only real magic that doesn't have any trick to it.
Same too ⚘
Dave move the world.
Always 💛🙏🏻
nirvana was great... but...
Dave Grohl is a fuckin legend... tears fall with this epic live performance...
Grohl Wrote This Song About Kurt Cobain #RandomFact
Yung Nic ha no is that a joke
Yung Nic he did not, he wrote it about ordinary people like you and me, people out there who put their life on the line to save others. Paramedics... teachers... construction workers... rescue divers... etc.
I think from the lyrics it is about kurt but Dave don't want to say it. Maybe we will never really know
@@BoxOfCurryos I believe it's about what you're saying. However, he did this scream live at Wembley, straight sounded like something Kurt would do. I think he wrote it with those intentions, but it kind of turned into a reminder of multiple different people in his life, such as Kurt.

I played this at my father's funeral... Still strikes a cord in my heart to this day.. There is no other band that can beat em..
Scott Ryan agreed!!
Just put my nephew to rest... I been listening to this song continuously. We love you Chandler
HAWAIIRAMSFAN7 my sons name is chandler, he is 5 months old and will sometimes only fall asleep while listening to this song. So sorry for your loss ❤️
If you shoot for perfection, you might just grasp excellence, and this is a prime example of what to shoot for.
This was the song playing in the room when my son was born. I tear up every time I hear it. When I saw them perform it live I totally lost it. Beautiful.
I come here when I need to cry. There's nothing that can consistently make me shed big manly tears quite like this version of this song. Everybody be sure to appreciate your heroes while they are still here.
This song makes me think of all the truckers, nurses, retail workers, and others during these times working with low pay providing us the services and goods that are vital Im proud of all of them!
This song always makes me think of healthcare workers. The ones that saved my husbands life, changed my life that day. I don’t know their names, or all the faces involved, they were just doing their job that day. Ordinary people. This song makes me feel very emotional.
My opinion, the best foo fighters performance ever.
It's definitely up there in my favorites of their live performances, this was fantastic

I think you all will need to watch more Foo Fighters performances, just to make sure. :-)
I had this at my Dads funeral today, it speaks so loud, its tough, Rest in Peace Dad, I will always miss you, gone and never forgotten
same here why is it always the good people in your lives have to go away. to my dad floyd rogers and my big brother barry rogers i love you and i know i will find you in heaven/ your daughter and little sister julie
Will you xxx
thats heavy...sorry bruh
Sorry man! God bless! X
Dante Voorhees played it following my dad's Hearst to the cemetery.. this song saved me in that moment 😍
I love how passionate they are every time this band performs this song live. It’s genuine.
Grohl is just amazing. This acoustic is beautiful.
Best version I have ever heard. Hits those emotional heart strings!!! Rip Taylor.. Your Son is the Hero and Did you proud 👏 ❤️
Just saw a Kobe Bryant Tribute video with the song playing... now I’m going to think of him every time this plays. Thank you Foo Fighters for making heart touching memories like this. R.I.P. Kobe & Gianna Bryant.
I played this song on my sisters funeral. She died alone, and I found her, in her bed. I’ve been through hell in life but nothing was as hard as losing my sister. She was my big sister, my best friend, my rock, my hero. I miss her more than words can comprehend. She didn’t get to meet the love of my life, she won’t get to be there on my wedding day, she won’t get to be there for other milestones. It was a Muslim funeral so no songs or TV is allowed for 40 days during the period of mourning. But I kept listening to this song on my earphones when she died, it helped me get through the hardest and saddest days of my life. She will always be my hero. I love you Tan. Always do and always will❤️
So sryy for your loss, God bless you and your family
That’s what happens when you put your soul into the music and every one is in harmony I get chills every time I listen you can feel the energy
Maybe the best version of the song
+Luke Jones absolutely
Luke Jones easily.
I agree, Luke
Luke Jones What is the concert name? I want to download full version.
It's from their live album titled Skin and Bones. Performed at the Pantages Theater in LA.
It’s Father’s Day today and I dedicate this song to my dad. Thank you for being a great dad! I miss you!
My son's are my hero's. Going through a separation with my wife after almost 20 years, which has been the hardest situation I've had to deal with and if it wasn't for my son, I wouldn't be here today enjoying all of my children if it wasn't for my son's. When I as down, my middle son, he'd come over and hold on to me, telling me that he loves me and that I'll be ok, while trying to whole his tears because he knows how bad I've been hurting. What an amazing boy he is. All of them are. I'm not one who cries and I especially don't care for my son's to see there Dad cry but, I'd breakdown in front of them at times but I try to keep it together so they won't cry. Then my youngest son, he would do the same but, at night time, my 5 year old would ask me if i can have Mommy move back home so we can be a family again and it breaks my heart to see my son's hurting so much at there respective ages, let alone having them see there father hurting. My oldest son, he's my helper. He's about to start driving, soon, so we know what he'll be doing. Grocery shopping. He's been my buddy for almost 16 years now. He's growing up way too fast for my liking. He's the one who helps me deal with his younger brothers, by keeping them all together, while I'm not there because he knows how it's affected them and he knows what it means to me. I don't have to say anything to him, he just knows what to do He's amazing. He's one of those kids who people say, I wish my son would act like that. I'm so proud of him and all he's accomplished so far I'm life, with the difficulties he's endured. I couldn't ask for better son's, I already have them. They're my rocks to lean on. Again, my son's are my hero's. God knew what I needed in life and He blessed me with these amazing son's, just so I wouldn't do something stupid. What a song to recognize a hero and what a band to express the lyrics the way they do and how awesome are my son's God bless

Such a positive take on a bad situation. I admire you and your sons. I am going through the same. My son is 5, and i was with my wife for 17 years. Watching him figuring it out is so difficult for me. But sometimes I think he is stronger than I am.
unlucky dude that sounds rough
Rest in power, Taylor Hawkins. We love you forever! My hero! ❤

I could listen to this like for hours and hours…. it is the most beautiful version of this song I have ever heard, Thank you Dave, you're the best….
This song came up in a playlist on the 2nd anniversary of my dad passing away. As soon as the chorus kicked in I teared up big time. All while walking through Brisbane's CBD.
There goes my hero, he's "extra ordinary"!!
R.🥀.P. Taylor Hawkins 💔 😭 🥁
Been a massive Foo Fighters fan for 10 years & I've yet to even come close to being bored of them.
Haha Pantera for me. But same thing. Every day I drive 45 minutes to work and guess what I listen to 90 percent of the time. Pantera.
It is weird how when you finally find that band you can listen to them always and never tire of them.
To all the firefighters and rescue crews fighting there asses off to control the countless fires!! I met 1 who is extremely special they all are !! My hero's 💯💞

There is no more pain man, rest now, see you down the road, i love you forever.
Discovered this in my late teens. Sent shivers down my spine... I still think its one of the greatest pieces of music that I have ever heard.
same thing is currently happening to me
Vicer Gaming one of the first songs I've ever heard my dad played it for me when I was young just thinking of it brings tears to my eyes

Our Spanish teacher sang this to us in the 8th grade at camp. There were too many tears from people.
Dave can mix with politicians, brainiacs or dregs of the night. He is truely my hero. He also has his roots planted firmly on the ground. Not many musicians have his vision, humor and candor to let you into his personal space. Keep making music, Dave! Love and support from NJ!
this is literally the best thing my ears have ever heard.. simply perfection..
If anyone ever asks what perfection of music sounds like. Play them this.
Love how Taylor plays the drums in this concert, and the way Dave sings...both are so so intense!
This song and this version of it makes me think of my brother.. he’s still alive. But, he’s been there for me when I had absolutely nothing. He taught me what it means to be a good man and how to love others. And he inspires me to keep going, no matter what. The man I am today owes homage to him. He’s my big brother.. but he’s also my best friend. I love you brother💙
2:55 can we take a moment and appreciate her playing, and that piano. Awesome. Thank you!

I love this version of this song! Every time I hear it I get goosebumps.

I was 21. Dad was 49. It was his time. This to me was his song!
"My Hero"
Too alarming now to talk about
Take your pictures down and shake it out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Don't the best of them bleed it out
While the rest of them peter out
Truth or consequence, say it aloud
Use that evidence, race it around
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
Kudos, my hero
Leaving all the best
You know my hero
The one that's on
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He's ordinary
dafuk does "race it around" mean?
Kris Marsel My thoughts are running around again and again.
ARNUGRAHA just beautiful.
Thank you.
Kurt and Dave are my heroes. They’re the ones who encouraged me to get into music. No music is so hugely important in my life. They have changed me and I just wanted to say thank you.
something about daves passion and this bands music that works so perfectly with an acoustic guitar... can not get enough. don't stop guys, don't ever stop. this song especially pulled me thru a lot of really rough years.
Watching Dave Grohl perform never fails to send chills down my spine, leave a smile on my face, and nod my head in approval.
I love you Dad, my hero.
Often in my life I have seen troubles; I had turbulences and I thought I wouldn't find a way out of situation. But I listen to Foo Fighters Music especially more in those situations. And this acoustic version of My Hero, is my "life-song". So now I play it by myself every time I feel weak....every time I feel good and want to give someone else some power.
This is a song that is played by heart and gives strength. I love it
Mel Caramba Amazing 🍀
never heard a version that spoke to me until this. Dave, Taylor, the group. Thank you. Passion in performance came thru on this show. I felt it.
As we mourn we have these gifts from Kurt and now Taylor.. Dave definitely loved and will now again share another song.. beautiful and legend at best! 🖤🎵☮️💔🤘
November 11th, 2019. Happy Veteran's Day to all who have served and is still serving for our great country. I miss you brother Rest easy.
To the regiment.
Respect.
I was just messing around with RUclips, never really heard this song acoustic like this.. made me think of my dad... He's still living, 74 and living with me... And, I'm gonna give him the biggest hug in the morning..... He is my hero....
This performance is what music and the love for it is all about . Thank you ❤
this I think could possibly be the best version of this beautiful piece of poetry. emotionally powerful with every word spoken every note played. if this was the last thing I hear before I died I'd go with a smile on my face and a tear in my eye. God bless you dave grohl for this absolute masterpiece...
Descansa en paz Taylor querido ya eres una leyenda 💔
2019...got my dearest uncle at intensive care.. I'm seeing how's he's struggling to survive and if he goes... He never gave up...
I miss you Daddy, you're my forever hero. ❤
I played this for my dad at his memorial. It was beautiful and perfect for him. Thank you ❤
im doing this song in music with my band and reading the comment section nearly got me in tears as my grandma died before easter i wish i could still hug her she will always will be with me
2016,still get goosebumps when I listen to this Live version.
I'm out to this at work rocking out and tears are swelling. Total goofball. Man, this rocks! Dave rocks his soul for ours and the world is a better place for it. A true artist. I wish more would be as brave to be so raw and honest in their art as he is. His music is truly a gift.
my dad, omg, he he was my hero, died on Christmas day 2014. We used to listen to this together. He would always say, "I was just an ordinary guy". Extraordinary dad. You worked 2 jobs to put food on the table and never complained. I miss you pop.
this song is hard for me to hear i to lost my dad last year. as i sat by his bed while his eyes slowly turned to gray. this sound just replayed in my head. love ya dad
Me encanta esta versión,es excelente! Grande Foo Fighters!! 😍
My heroes are protected. I ask for protection to spread my wings & turn over new 🍂... Filled with love, kindness & happiness. I ask safe travels to my new home where this Proud momma can wake up next to her 🐾🐾🐾. 💍
Amen to God & The Foo.
Wow. Just saw this live version. Taylor in my mind. Rest in Peace, you fucking rocked while you lived.
Taylor Hawkins must have attended the Dave Grohl School of Crazy Ass Energetic Amazing drumming
Shane Lucas
He clearly got straight a’s
Absolute champion
You're right. I totally agree with you
Still standing strong and alone.
My heroes have gone a long way.
The power in that song, yes, a different meaning every time you listen to it
Wow this version is awesome, so great, so heartfelt. The piano solo was sick too. Started soft and finished so powerful. Easily the best version I've heard.
Grohl is a modern day musical genius!
Cobain would be proud of him
100% agreed
He's following the aerosmith school of song writing. "Don't bore us, get to the chorus" :D
(his words in an interview some time :p )
Spine tingling masterclass .
This wonderful song makes us aware of family, friends and community, and those whose thoughts or actions, whether mental or physical, subtle or aggressive, made a significant impression in our lives.
When I first heard this song, I fell in love with it, it reminds me about all the people who have come and gone in my life and all those who have stayed. It reminds me of how much of a hero my father is, about all the love and affection he gave me throughout the years. I just hope he realizes that
I love you and miss you Kobe 😢😭😔💜💛
I agree, so much emotion in this track, 100% genius track, Mr cobain would be proud. always wondered how much musical impact dave put into nirvana though.
I am crying...Thanks Dave!Thanks Foo Fighters!
The best version of the song.
Deserves many more views! Dave grohl from drummer to front man! Pure class! Plays guitar with the gusto he played the drums! 👌
I'm speechless.
Look down the comments... Dave you inspired lot of people! 🤘2018 and im still watching this video over and over again
Played this video at the end of my husband's memorial. He was "My Hero". Thank you, Foo Fighters!
This is absolute perfection 👌🏻 2:20 onwards....just WOW..... I'm smiling but I want to cry..... So raw.....but those violins and keyboards ...🤤🤤
