Weekend Song - Foo Fighters

Every so often I feel a song that make me hear all kinds of things.

This is onesuch - listen all the way through and you’ll get a whole set of emotions wanting to stay with you.

We knew they could do it all; funny, melodic, hard, brave, defiant, in a variety of styles. Just another day at the office for the Foos.

But when the new album came out - sorry: dropped - this week, this song stunned me damned cold.

Wish I were with you, I couldn’t stay.
Every direction leads me away.
Pray for tomorrow, but for today
all I want is to be home.

    Snap.

    Took this album on holiday with me last week and rarely listened to anything else. I think the mess of the last (double) album focussed them as this is there best stuff by far.

    And that song.

    He’s come a long way that Grohl bloke..

    Thanks Ed - I’m with Gordon on this one. It’s a great album. Not so sure about all the acoustic moments, but then I like the second part of the last one actually better than the first.
