<P> The original album version was created in December 1996 at WGNS Studios in Washington, D.C., in between recording sessions for The Colour and the Shape . It was performed by Grohl on vocals (in one take) and all instrument parts (except bass, which was performed by the band's bassist Nate Mendel), and was recorded by Geoff Turner . </P> <P> The soundtrack / single version was performed by the full band, including then - recent additions Taylor Hawkins and Franz Stahl, with guest backing vocals from Shudder to Think's Craig Wedren . It was recorded in early 1998 at Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood, and was produced by Talking Heads member Jerry Harrison . As a result of trying to muster as much emotion as possible, Grohl broke down during the recording of the vocal take which ended up being used in the final mix . This version also utilizes the addition of a piano part during the bridge, performed by Harrison . Stylistically, it employs more intricate drumming and guitar work than the original - which is much more sparse - and runs about a minute shorter . </P> <P> The song's music video features a nattily - attired Grohl interacting with a woman (played by Spanish actress Arly Jover) in what appears to be an asylum or prison, where the two are separated by plate - glass windows . A stack of vintage television sets displays clips of retro fare such as Bela Lugosi films and Betty Boop cartoons . </P> <P> It was directed by fashion photographer Matthew Rolston, who had also done videos for artists such as Janet Jackson, Madonna, and Lenny Kravitz . Grohl, the only band member to appear in the video, has since described it as "one of the best videos i've done". </P>
