Coming across a YouTube post of her own isolated backup vocals on
Foo Fighters’ classic “Everlong” has sent
Veruca Salt‘s
Louise Post down a rabbit hole — leading her to reminisce about the recording of the song, which
Dave Grohl wrote about their then-romance.
Posting a snippet of that isolated recording on Instagram, Post wrote, “I sang these back-ups over the phone at 2am after being woken up from a deep sleep in Chicago by [Dave Grohl] who was tracking the vocals for ‘Everlong’ in LA.”
