Everlong is the second single released from the Foo Fighters second album The Colour and the Shape released in 1997.
The surreal, satirical video for the song was directed by Michel Gondry. The running time of the video exceeds that of the original version of the song, so in order to accommodate this, the final chorus is followed by a brief interlude consisting of the last few seconds of the song played backwards, then followed by a repeat of the chorus. This version is used only for the video.
The video has a very strong conceptual element, it relates to the ideas of dreams, the reality and the dream world. Gondry's love of mise-en-scene is prevalent in this video, the exaggerated theatrical set, drag costume and villains.
