The Last Song - Live at Walker Air Force Base, Roswell, NM - June 2005

This song is often interpreted to be about Dave Grohl letting go of Kurt Cobain, being the last song he writes about him. Cobain has been dead for a while, and he's spoken out about his feelings in songs about Kurt, but it's getting sort of old now. Grohl would try to write new songs, but everyone keeps relating them to Kurt Cobain no matter what he writes them about. He's made peace with Kurt's spirit and won't dwell on Kurt's death any more.

Drummer Taylor Hawkins: "It's what Breakout should have sounded like. A lot of things on this record to me are what a lot of old past songs should have sounded like. With this record we worked on everything without beating the hell out of it; just getting the best, most intense, energetic performances."

The Foo Fighters often play on The Late Show with David Letterman, and the band played this song on Letterman the night before the new album came out.
