Foo Fighters - Let it die lyrics

[leftyrock85]

Man I love this song.

[JosephISTOOREAL]

I Hate Courtney Dum Bitch Killed My Role Model Kurt Cobain I Love Kurt Cobains Music I Will Always Hear All Nirvana Albums On Replay Thums Up If You Hate Courtney And Love Kurt Cobains Music

[ForeverZero221]

@RoseForMyLove4545 damn right, no doubt in my mind that bitch shot kurt cobain. and right now im using this song to describe my bandmates inner turmoil that if not corected will lead to its destruction.

[JosephISTOOREAL]

*the

[JosephISTOOREAL]

@DONtheevilsid yea I agree this is a beautifull song ive had it on replay for tbe past hour

[MydirtyRat1]

even if this was about Kurt and Courtney, why would Grohl ever confess that?? It's a great piece of music with great lyrics, we should all just enjoy it and not speculate who it's about. Thanks Dave, for making such a great song.

[wombat8784]

@RoseForMyLove4545

From Dave Grohl himself in 2007...

"[It's] a song that's written about feeling helpless to someone else's demise," he states. "I've seen people lose it all to drugs and heartbreak and death. It's happened more than once in my life, but the one that's most noted is Kurt. And there are a lot of people that I've been angry with in my life, but the one that's most noted is Courtney. So it's pretty obvious to me that those correlations are gonna pop up every now and again."

[Borgyboy1186]

This song speaks my soul.

[nbrbnk]

He said it's not about kurt.. I assumed it was, idk I didn't read all the comments but what is it about then? and like he didn't know it woul'd sound like it was about him?

[DONtheevilsid]

I swear,it got my heartbeat,sent me shivers,such a beautiful piece of music.

Sent chills to me,It's beautiful.

[RaaawrMyCookie]

@RoseForMyLove4545 FTW comment?

[StillwagonCuntt]

@RoseForMyLove4545 actually theres an interview where dave grohl himself states that he really dislike courtney & that this song refers to kurt letting her & their relationship destroying him...

[ShadowedHearts]

Lmfao, the picture at like, 2:39 made me laugh, their faces. xD

[TheFifilak]

Courtney Love made 15 accounts.

[TheFifilak]

RoseForMyLove4545 totally agree with you.. it was murder. That bitch killed him.

[sys434]

IT FUKIN IS BITCH

[wangster1016]

15 ppl let it die

[Damnedsoul53]

foo fighters is one of my favorite bands of all time. believe it or not the 00s were a good decade of music. and theyre still doing good! <3

[paulbrown89]

great song!!! im sure if this song was about kurt or courtney dave would be the first to say..... hes says its not so i take his work for it

[flinkelinks]

I have no need to say how great this song is... You all know already.

[billypokemon2day]

1;56 the rock part

[TheDevilsangel1313]

14 people let it die

[TheFillyPhan]

I hope my neighbors enjoy this song...JK there is no way my neighbors can here this even though it is loud

[waswuz22]

this is a ridiculously beautiful song

[WeedWagon420]

1 word - FOOFUCKINFIGHTERS!

[oklahomarocker80]

Why does someone always have to make some STUPID comment about the dislikes? "13 people let it die" Really? Yeah you are really cool. Nice job saying the same crap everyone else does

[xxdestroyerrxx]

@oklahomarocker80 make that 14 good sir

[futurecomic75]

13 people let it die

[slushygirl20]

this reminds me of my volleyball team, just dont ask lolz :D

[JenniferPHendrix]

I think this song is about addiction to a drug or a person... and how destructive that can be.

[kimleete]

@JenniferPHendrix courtney love thinks and i agree that its about her and kurt (daves old bandmate) and that he thinks she drove kurt to kill himself

[slushygirl20]

@JenniferPHendrix i think it is about Kurt Cobain and how Dave is still upset about his death.

[mether123]

@slushygirl20 oh its defiantly about Kurt Cobain.

[Goobian]

@slushygirl20 IT'S NOT ABOUT KURT COBAIN!!! It's about how relationships slowly die out. In general. Dave has said many many times it's not about Kurt. He has another song about Kurt I forgot what it's called. He didn't do songs about dying for a while because he didn't want to have to say it's not about Kurt it's about someone else all the time. Kurt isn't the only one in his life that has died you know.

[lebano1]

best part is at 2:41 and on...

amazing!!!

[emmythehockeygurl30]

idc if it's about kurt cobain or who it's about it's a f**king amazing song

[CedricFelix2009]

thats song its all about courtney love

[pierrot148]

angry at my sister *sssht* don't hit the wall, listen to the foo's, relax son

[AshKingMcbride93]

what a great song:)

[1jkellum]

Whats this song about?

[smileformenow82]

@1jkellum I'm pretty sure it's about Kurt Cobain

[pierrot148]

@smileformenow82 it's not.

[smileformenow82]

@pierrot148 I know Dave said it wasn't, but I think it's possible he just didn't really want people to know it was. This song sounds pretty much exactly like what someone would say to a friend who killed themselves. and the "simple man and his blushing bride" shows that it wasn't about one of his relationships, it was about another guy. This is just my theory

[Jambles3]

Everyone in my house just had an eargasm. I was wearing headphones.

[ashlovesgreenday]

I need a jorb. I haven't seen these guys since 2008, I need to see them. D: Fucking amazingness.

[Jambles3]

@fusion952 indeed good sir. I fell slightly deaf from the epicness.

[XxMissdarkfordxX]

wooooo!1

[223goossens]

2:39 is so awesome!

[pierrot148]

i lmao'd at the 'thankyouforwatching' after grohl yelled so hard xD

[MyArtisFadingDark]

epic

[saxophoney25]

By the time that you have reached 4:07, you have received an eargasm.

Urban Dictionary term of the day:

Eargasm:1. noun. The sensation one gets while hearing a dramatic climax in music.

2. noun. The climax of musical excitement.

3. verb. To have an eargasm.

1. I nearly had an eargasm while listening to his performance of Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto.

2. My favorite part of that piece is the eargasm.

3. When we listened to that music, did you eargasm?

[pierrot148]

12 people just don't like the song, hard to accept, but it's the way it is... this is certaintly one of the best songs i've ever heard...

[lolpeaceout101]

love da ending!!! why'd u have to go and LET IT DIE!!!!!!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HH!!!!

[madman9779]

To the very top comment, I wanna say that some people believe that I should have known was written about Kurt

[rolfvdhulst]

@madman9779 this is one of their ONLY songs that goes about Kurt

[Vaille32]

12 people had to go and let it die.

[assassian0601]

when there is a song like this why do you dislike it ?

[ridingpro101]

ear orgasm. o3o

i fricken love this song<3

[CKittles1]

@TheFreedomOfInsanity sorry for your loss... foo fighters-home will be played at my funeral thats the last song i want to hear before i get buried

[yaronbeery]

friend of a friend was not written about kurt. it was written about dave about living together with kurt in olimpia wash.

[234Assassin]

WHAT!?

12 DISLIKES WHAT THE FUCK!!!

OKAY THE 1,159 OF US HAVE TO FIND THESE 12 PEOPLE AND BEAT SOME FUCKING SENSE INTO THEM!!!!

assholes disliking the good stuff

[MaxwellThomas88]

Foo Fighters Rule! Find myself back at here again and again. This was my fav band all through high school! Seen them 5 times and now I am in my own band! Not quite the same sound, but serious influence. Way to pave the way for us rockers! I am the female singer in a pop/punk called HEY YOU! If any of you Used fans wanna give it a try, we recently put up a new music video, let us know what u think. LOVE THE FOO! xoxo

youtube search: Hey You Band Taking Over

[manadaperez]

Actually he meant why'd you have to die and let it go ...

Beautiful eyes and bloodshot veins ...

Hearts gone tied and hands were cold ...

[pivotnoobRB]

doesnt the last word sound like Kurt... like ALOT.

[Syns4Sympathy]

@MusicalGamer13 the did you ever think of me is kurt talking, hes saying did you ever think of how he felt, krist and Dave threatened to make nirvana break up if he didn't stop using and courtney threatened to leave him. he didnt want to stop using so he figured he might as well kill himself if he had no help from his family/bandmates. Dave even says in a interview it's not negative towards Kurt at all. get your facts straight

[EpicClipsMovie]

Foo Fighters - I should have known is about kurt.

[Vaille32]

12 people had to go and let it die.

[alexynere9]

12 people want die

[rolfvdhulst]

@alexynere9 no actually one does... And no it isn't Kurt, it is you (retarded spammer)

[BeetleJulesTV]

@TheBrahierbottom just google it.. and see what Dave Grohl said about it.

[BeetleJulesTV]

this song is about Kurt relationship with that fucker.. CourtneyLove

[Rapidfire8]

you're so considerate...

[weezer619]

haha this is how i feel after a break up

[maddmatt989]

@weezer619 oh u have no idea haha

[OAwArenAwAkeO]

poo fighters

[TheJbfan666]

@OAwArenAwAkeO thats pretty clever how did you think of that?

[666Masterflo]

wonderful music as any other

[supershedevil666]

@liquidstrawberries yeah ino the feeling xD

[liquidstrawberries]

This song is the worst to listen to when trying to sleep. At 1:55 I always jump and wake up. It's alright though, since the climax of the song is right afterwards. I wouldn't want to miss it.

[fusion952]

2:40 is, like, this epic, timeless moment we've all been waiting for. It is commonly described with one word: EARGASM!

[eshnic]

@fusion952 god yes, epic! but actually for me it already starts at 2.39 or actually right between 2.38 and 2.39, such a surprise :)))

[girlyhlewis]

@fusion952 exactly



[sexyyparty]

Why dont i have this song on my ipod?

[EvilVampireMushroom]

When I was 11, this was on in my dads car.

The car infront was driving painfully slow, so we started singing

"Why'd you have to go and slowly drive!" out loud. Was fun :P

[Manwithafan005]

2:38 Hits you like a boulder

[liefsezra]

lol i love the foo fighters

[giga0524]

@CanabisPaladin u gotta beast name, lol

[SweetBabyGirl1982]

I love this song..it's one of their best!

[KillerOtter918]

@CanabisPaladin That's like saying that there's no such thing as robbing a bank unless you claim responsibility. Musicians work hard to make a living, just like everyone else.

[Grimm124]

@KillerOtter918 Well thats an ignorant way of thinking. :)

[yourboyfriendsajerk]

Oh, so, considerate.....

[HuggingAfruitBat]

@yourboyfriendsajerk Haha Don't you just love the sarcasm? (:

[yourboyfriendsajerk]

@HuggingAfruitBat YES I JUST LOVE FOO FIGHTERS SO, SO MUCH.

Oh and the sarcasm? Oh yes when it's coming out of his mouth!

[HuggingAfruitBat]

@yourboyfriendsajerk HAHA! I know right! He's a GOD... I am completely obsessed with the Foo Fighters :D

[ALDERcomunication]

MUSE - FOO FIGHTERS - SYSTEM OF A DOWN - LINKIN PARK - SYSTEM OF A DOWN forever!!! :D

[rammsteinmegatron42]

my favorite foo fighter song.

[amberconfair]

I'm dedicating this to my Grandmother.

We all love you so much and you lived a very long life.

Tomorrow morning we will all say our goodbyes.

You will always be in my heart.

-Amber <3

[32hamburgler]

fucking love this song

[AugustRushmoreism]

Is this song about kurt cobain? cause it seems like it.

[XxxkenzaxxX]

@AugustRushmoreism Well, apparently Dave indirectly said it was about Courtney, so. Yeah.

[nacho01KR]

when i die i'd like to hear this song at least the last time ;)

[TheHippieManJoe]

rip kurt

[joedarealskater]

11 people let it die!

[TheBrianc2010]

this song is not about kurt its about a break up he said it on an interview

[oscardc555]

@TheBrianc2010 thank you. 

[Wowzot1]

I LOVE THIS SONG!

[cccxaaaxmmm]

foos are the best band ever. their first album holds my heart

[Ninjasupereye]

My friend pointed out a good theory. This might be about Kurt Cobain.

[BrussYoTeefNukka]

I THINK ITS ABOUT COURTNEY LOVE DUDES

[Jhosk95]

@BrussYoTeefNukka I think you're comment was ignorant.

[Riplak335]

@Jhosk95 yeah, Bruss. YOU'RE comment. So ignorant.

[Jhosk95]

@Jhosk95 You'll get over it.

[Lukitan15]

"A heart of gold but it lost it's pride"

oh god i love that phrase!

[SupportRock1]

Support Rock!

[stardate2856]

Another gem from the Foo Fighters.  A beautiful song, starting out soft and slow, and building to a wonderfully powerful finish.

[rhtko]

thanks courtney, because of you we ended up with the foo fighters... good job

[Armagon9177]

@rhtko are you another moronic conspiracy theorist? or am i misinterpreting your comment?

[8mikeySk]

R.I.P kurt cobain 

[bunkteish]

inlove



[ThePurplesocks11]

When I have writers block, I listen to Foo Fighters.

[trappedbymusic]

This song is freakin' amazing!!!!!!!! I love the way that it starts off soft and gradually get's heavier and heavier. It's a very musicaly deep song.

[phillips267]

simply amazing. wasting light is sooo good too

[rammsteinmegatron42]

11 people dont know what the fudge their talking about.

[iam0ny0utu8e]

look up the video dave grohl talks about nirvana... about 3:18 into you'll see.... dumbass

[iam0ny0utu8e]

hey mcrreat, dumbass... this song has nothing to do with kurt, im also a long life lover on nirvana and dave... youtube.com/watch?v=ykpPsdEXd8­w about 3:18 he explains the song about 2 people falling out of love, nothing to do with kurt, konw your facts before you go and post shit online for people to read.

[TheAddictsPerish78]

words cannot explain how much i love foo fighters.

[JCRdz82]

One of their best songs.

[MCRrgreat]

thanks for all the views, comments and likes guys : ) hope you all enjoy the video

[xxLem0nPl3dgeii]

@MCRrgreat thank YOU for uploading :)

[milliegilllol]

I love saying daves surname

GrohlGrohl

Im so immature

Good band beaut song

[CheaterFilms]

Why do people keep saying justin bieber at ALL in good music videos? his music sucks. Stop calling him gay too, freddy mercury was gay, besides, if justin bieber WAS homosexual, he`d be one rich ass gay guy...

[yumikokusho]

A little repetitive but I cant get enough of this track.

[LexaBree]

seriously stfu. just because he was in Nirvana (one of my favourite bands) dont automatically assume that his songs are always about Kurt.

these are the FOO FIGHTERS, not NIRVANA. and stop bringing up Kurt on every effing Foo song. lets enjoy the music from Dave Grohl and the rest of the band... PLEASE.

[MusicalGamer13]

@LexaBree Dave Grohl has written only two songs about Kurt Cobain - Friend of a Friend and Let it Die. Friend of a Friend was written before Kurt died, it was Dave's first impressions of Kurt; Let It Die is basically about Dave being dissappointed in Kurt giving up on himself without thinking of the consequences through Dave, Krist and Courtney. Research it if you dont believe me, Nirvana and Foo Fighters are two of my favourite bands and I'm glad Dave decided to carry on making records =) <3

[trappedbymusic]

@MusicalGamer13 That actually makes sense now that I've seen the lyrics.

[bunkteish]

@MusicalGamer13

friend of a friend was about krist aswell..." he thinks he drinks to much" is about krist. he drank alot more than dave and kurt and he seen it was becoming a problem. its not just about kurt.

[Hindoushett]

@MusicalGamer13 watch?v=6CemduXpSYo

[MegaMysteryboy]

@MusicalGamer13 It's not about Kurt

[KyleSchoneman]

@MusicalGamer13 i literaly just saw an interview with dave and he said let it die wasnt about kurt

[Numb771]

@MusicalGamer13 That's possible, your probally right. Although, I thought Dave didn't want people to think he was talking about Kurt in his songs.

[Byreka]

@MusicalGamer13

Let it Die was not written for Kurt, go have a look at some of the interviews online.

[wassupdam]

So are you guys ready for wasting light?

[9loco9loco9]

@wassupdam No one will ever be ready for Wasting Light. Tears of excitement come to my eyes everytime i think about it...

[redfishradical]

An eclectic rock band able to go from laugh out loud funny to intelligent & insightful to blowing off anger. Their melody lines go from mellow ambient drifting ballads to balls out straight ahead hard rocking tunes with hooks you can listen to forever & ever get tired of them. Another monumental achievment w/this tune. God bless this band of true artists who'll always be relevant & don't follow the MTV Corporate dictate of easiest route to make a buck & be a "star".

Peace real rock/music fans

[yumikokusho]

@redfishradical

word.

[MsLovelybones12]

ive forgotten how amazing this song is....for that i am sorry Foo Fighters....please forgive me for i am not worthy of loving this song anymore.

[hun64597]

Dave Grohl..... WHAT A BEAST!!

[jb0archer]

best of the best

[Zeron1c]

the MOST EPIC part of the song is at 2:37 :D

[wedzeee]

stop giving thumbs up to comments that contain that fucking kids name, im sick of it.... AWESOME SONG! FOREVER MISSED, KURT

[NarcoticMelody]

<3.

[luchinnn77]

this is like i'm singing this song to somebody... who left me die.. incredible song i must say go the FOOS!

[alexynere9]

Nirvana and Foo Fighters 4EVER

[danielscanlan34]

@alexynere9 hell YES

[Naruke0]

@alexynere9 :DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[irisvumi]

I STILL LOVE you

[newgolddream]

@Betito1991

Well said

[ThalesII]

@Betito1991 I'll sure do, if it is available in Brazil by then

[trappedbymusic]

@Betito1991 Not just to Rock but to Metal, Punk, Alternative, Prog-Rock, and all the other forms of rock and metal.

[scribbles822]

@Betito1991 really? supporting the corporations brings back music? they all sell out. try buying a guitar....

[va1903wb]

@Betito1991  I wish evry one coud aford to do that but face the facts most of us are all broke...

[nason232004]

@Betito1991 haha dude... nobody buys cd's anymore.. its a harsh reality but why would you pay when you can get it for free?

[Dartspluck11]

@nason232004 Except by not buying the bands lose sales.

[MCRrgreat]

@nason232004 I did buy this album, I never download because I support the idea of actually owning the CDs, you can't say you love a band when you steal their songs, a band can't really tour or record without the money so by downloading you're kind of screwing the band over a little. I have very little money but whenever I can I'll buy an album , I just prefer to actually own it, plus you're guarantied a high quality copy, instead of some distorted shit that cuts out :L but yeah

[nason232004]

@MCRrgreat i agree with you 100%.. ppl have to realize how much work a band puts into making an album.. hours and hours of work... I personally will download an album to see if I like it because too many times have i gone to a record store and spend 20 bucks or so on an album only to find out that i only like 2 or 3 songs.. this way i can preview it and then if i like i will go buy it.

[MCRrgreat]

@nason232004 oh yeah I completely agree with that, CDs or records just cost to much when new to waste money on, and I'll just use YouTube :L same kind of thing

[nason232004]

@MCRrgreat Rock on dude!

[animeholiic]

@MCRrgreat yeah but thats the reason why alot of music and film industries are dying .. 

[futuremusician728]

@MCRrgreat fuck yeah, support the artists =D

[bchurchill1000]

@MCRrgreat rite on man thats how it should be.

[E1SUNZ]

@MCRrgreat wow thats good man well done

[chasedrewpiano]

@MCRrgreat Actually the band is already payed for there album, it's the record company that looses money.
