Song Facts  
Dave Grohl composed it as a tribute to two miners from the Beaconsfield mine collapse, who asked for an iPod with Foo Fighters songs to listen to while waiting for rescue. The song was played live for the first time in October 4, 2006 at Sydney Opera House. One of the two surviving miners attended the gig and joined Grohl for a beer afterwards, as promised by Grohl himself.

This is actually a duet with Dave and Kaki King. It's not as good as what I was hoping for, and I really wish they would have let Kaki let out more and show her true talents (trust me, this girl is a wizard on the guitar) but damn is this ever a sweet sounding melody. Quite a departure for the Foo's though, and I doubt if all fans will like it. If you do, please go and check out Kaki King though. I can't say enough how good she is.
