The reasons for the new version of “Walking After You” was that it had been licensed for use in the X-Files movie. Grohl had wanted to provide the track with more emotion, having been unhappy with the original vocal track. However, he also had high hopes that this love song about his separation from Jennifer Youngblood would be the catalyst for, and soundtrack to, Mulder and Scully finally getting together.
“Having watched the show so much for so many years, you fall in love with the characters,” he says. "And I guess you sorta expect them to fall in love with each other. 'Walking After You’ is basically an intimate sort of love song where you’re so dependent on someone else that you know, if they walk out on you, then… then you’re walking after them. Because you need them. So I guess my dream was to give this to the X-Files and have them use it in a scene where Mulder and Scully finally get together (laughs). The love scene! It would be amazing to see that happen with a song that meant a lot to me playing in the background. That would be pretty beautiful.“
