    General Comment:The sound of this song is heavily influenced by Led Zeppelin's 'White Summer, Black Mountain Side'. It's beautiful, so so beautiful.

    General Comment:Go Aussies!

    Yeah, one of the trapped miners was a giant Foo Fighters fan, so they sent down an iPod full of their tunes. Grohl heard about it and offered them tickets to their acoustic show in Sydney. After the show, they went and got plastered in a bar, where Grohl promised the guy he would put a song for them on the new album. I think he came up with this on the night, or soon after.

    General Comment:Great instrumental song. Its about these trapped minors who requested for an ipod full of foo fighters songs be sent down till they got out. I heard that Dave Grohl even gave them free tickets to a gig.
