Cover art for What If I Do? lyrics by Foo Fighters

this song is really growing on me.

the melody during the "Carolina" bit is so classically infectious in a way the only the foo can do to me. I love it.

I heard "What if I do, Lord?" from the start. I'm not gonna' go right out and say "Hey, look, it's a WORSHIP song!", 'cause that's not really what I think. I think it's just more of a prayer or hope for some kind of guidance or answer. The biblical reference is pretty obvious though.

kinda' reminds me of this little number:

Luke 9:24 - For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.

Dave the preacher. okay, I doubt that's what he was going for, but it's interesting to contemplate.

I love this song.

I completely agree! That one word/name makes a HUGE difference in who and what the song is about.
