Because in life, you just can\u2019t go it alone,\u201d Grohl said.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Foo Fighters 2025 by Dave Grohl\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/FHEk_D9zOos?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cIt should go without saying that without the boundless energy of William Goldsmith, the seasoned wisdom of Franz Stahl, and the thunderous wizardry of Josh Freese, this story would be incomplete, so we extend our heartfelt gratitude for the time, music, and memories that we shared with each of them over the years. Thank you, gentlemen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tGrohl\u2019s lengthy statement reminisces about encountering Nate Mendel for the first time on Thanksgiving in 1994, and how that chance meeting resulted in the birth of the Foo Fighters. \u201cA few heaping plates of food, a few bottles of wine, one thing leading to another, and before long we had started a new band with other dear friends, Pat Smear and William Goldsmith,\u201d Grohl said. \u201cWe called it Foo Fighters.\u201d The band\u2019s self-titled debut album arrived on June 26, 1995.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tLater in the note, Grohl paid tribute to his late friend and band mate Hawkins. \u201cAnd\u2026 Taylor. Your name is spoken every day, sometimes with tears, sometimes with a smile, but you are still in everything we do, everywhere we go, forever,\u201d Grohl added. \u201cThe enormity of your beautiful soul is only rivaled by the infinite longing we feel in your absence. We all miss you beyond words. Foo Fighters will forever include Taylor Hawkins in every note that we play, until we do finally reach our destination.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Foo Fighters - Today&#039;s Song\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3R-zrySoHNk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cToday\u2019s Song\u201d itself echoes many of the themes in Grohl\u2019s note, namely the passage of time. \u201cTwo sides to a river \/ Too troubled to cross \/ It might take you under \/ Today\u2019s song,\u201d Grohl sings on the track. \u201cWe\u2019ll drown in the middle \/ Which side are you on \/ One way or another \/ Today\u2019s song.\u201d<\/p>\n<section class=\"brands-most-popular \/\/ recirculation-modules trending-in-article lrv-u-margin-tb-2 lrv-u-border-a-2 u-box-shadow-5-5 lrv-u-padding-lr-1 a-span1 u-padding-b-1@tablet u-overflow-hidden\">\n<h2 id=\"section-heading\" class=\"c-heading larva  lrv-u-text-align-center u-border-color-black a-font-theme-primary-xxs lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-text-transform-uppercase u-letter-spacing-0063 lrv-u-padding-t-050 u-padding-b-0375@tablet lrv-u-padding-b-050@mobile-max lrv-u-border-b-2\">\n<p>\t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tThe track marks the Foo Fighters\u2019 first new original music since their 2023 album <em>But Here We Are<\/em>; the band quietly resurfaced for the first time <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/dave-grohl-fathered-child-outside-marriage-1235099262\/\">amid all the domestic drama<\/a> recently to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/foo-fighters-minor-threat-cover-30th-anniversary-1235375718\/\">release a Minor Threat cover<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tIt appears Grohl and company are revving up for their grand return as the band has announced October concerts in Indonesia, Singapore, and Japan, their first shows together in over a year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/foo-fighters-return-30th-anniversary-todays-song-1235377515\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To coincide with the band\u2019s 30th anniversary, Foo Fighters returned Wednesday with \u201cToday\u2019s Song,\u201d their first new music in two years.
