About three minutes into the song Foo Fighters song “Everlong,” everything drops down quiet again — and you can hear a whispering voice. So, what exactly is Dave Grohl saying?
Radio X isolated the vocals and says this is what you are hearing:
“So Dad would take the Sundays off,
And that’s the only time he could ever get any rest,
And so, because we were loud on Sundays,
He d make us hold his construction boots over our head, till he’d sleep
And they were really heavy boots
And I d used to say dad come on please
And like start crying, cause they’re too heavy.”
However, that’s probably only 33% correct.
According to music folklore, there are actually THREE whisper tracks. One for the left channel, one for the center channel, and one for the right channel. They are reportedly of Dave reading out of technical manual, Dave reading a love letter, and finally, Dave reading a story about a studio technician’s father.
It appears the video above would be the last example.
So…any other fellow music nerds up for figuring out what the other two tracks are? — [eric]
