Veruca Salt's Louise Post is giving some background on the song written about her by her ex, Dave Grohl, on which she contributed backing vocals. The song is “Everlong,” one of the Foo Fighter's most iconic hits. She shared an old YouTube clip that isolates Post’s contributions, writing in part, “I sang these back-ups over the phone at 2am after being woken up from a deep sleep in Chicago by DG who was tracking the vocals for “Everlong” in LA . . . The whispered section of this song was originally the dream I was having when the phone rang . . .”
She explained that the whispered parts were “a dream about us. He later removed it and replaced with his own whispers, one which was a love letter to me. Maybe I’ll tell the full story…eventually…if I feel like it . . .”
Post explained that the “doo-doo” parts were inspired by Veruca Salt’s own song “Shimmer Like A Girl.”
Post and Grohl suffered a tough breakup when Grohl allegedly cheated on her with actress Winona Ryder.
