  • Ac from UkThis song was great when I was made redundant unexpectedly. I played it a lot when I was working my last few weeks. And I went on to get a better job with better support.
  • Jane from FloridaThis song is the story of my life. I had a bad marriage and ended up divorcing. I swore to never have another relationship. I guess the wheels came down. I am in a new relationship and I am so thankful for what we have. This is now my favorite song.
  • Bianca from Batesville, MsI believe that you could perceive this song as a “rehab” song! “When you feel like it’s all over, there’s another round for you”
  • Joe from Virginia reminds me of the euphoric feeling when we returned from dangerous overseas duty with USMC
    AWESOME SONG@
  • Geoff from Adelaide, AustraliaAlso... I heard somewhere that Dave isnt a very keen on airplanes and that the song is in relief of touching down and the flight being over with.
  • Geoff from Adelaide, AustraliaI don't know why all the hardcore fans dont like it. Similar to Fredi in Chile said, at the Adelaide concert in Dec 2011 he announced the song as a song that is only popular in Germany. I never figured why. I like pretty much all their songs - new and old.
  • Fredi from Santiago, ChileWhen Foo Fighters played at Lollapalooza here in Chile, Dave referred to this song as "the one song that nobody in the world likes"
  • Al from Hollister, CaA great song for sure and my favorite from the Foo.
    Lots of meaning to me personally and gets me through rough times.
  • Donna from New Jersey, NyI love this song. I think it's very meaningful and uses flight in an airplane as a metaphor for life and relationships and growing as a person.
  • Timothy from Aston, PaI've always thought of this song as a reference to an airplane coming in for landing and the landing gear being deployed..."When the wheels come down...When the wheels touch ground".
  • Layton from Paris, TxI didn't like this at first but it grows on you. The videoio
    is hilarious
  • Jon from Enumclaw , WaI love this song it's awesome!
