Songfacts®:

• For this song, Taylor Hawkins and Dave Grohl switched roles. Dave went behind the drum kit, and Taylor plays guitar and sings. Taylor has also sang lead on the Foo's covers of Cream's "I Feel Free," Joe Walsh's "A Life Of Illusion" and Pink Floyd's "Have A Cigar."
• Taylor Hawkins on the song: "I actually wrote this track, so I sing and Dave plays drums on it. I've had a rough sketch of the song for a long time and Dave has always liked it. It's got a real Southern Californian feel and it was fun producing Dave on drums. Most of the tambourines that you hear are on the record are actually Dave - I hate playing tambourine! - but on this song it's me."
• Hawkins: "It's hard playing a demo for Dave because he's like my older brother - I know when he thinks something sucks. He says, "Hmm, yeah that's good," and then he'll say, "I really like how affected your vocals are." Anyway, it's a song Dave liked and it lightened up the acoustic record. Everyone says it sounds like the Eagles! When Dave was recording the drums I went from the control room into the live room and made a suggestion. He was like, "No. I like what I'm doing." I reminded him of this recently but for some reason he didn't remember that." (about quotes courtesy: Foo Archive)
• Though an acoustic song, an electric version of this song can be found on the CD/DVD Skin And Bones. >>>
