Dave Grohl, architect of the Foo Fighters, has released their latest track, “Today’s Song”. The track is the band’s first release since 2023’s But Here We Are, which featured the likes of “Under You” and “Rescued”. On “Today’s Song”, Grohl writes:

I woke today screaming for change
I knew that I must
So, here lies a shadow
Ashes to ashes
Dust into dust

You know that nothing can prepare you
Don’t let this cruel world compare you
Waiting for someone to repair you

Two sides to a river
Too troubled to cross
It might take you under
Today’s song
We’ll drown in the middle
Which side are you on
One Way or Another
Today’s song

It may take a lifetime to find you
It may take a lifetime to unwind you
Praying there’s some way to remind you

In a letter on the Foo Fighters website, Grohl wrote extensively about the band’s 30th anniversary and the meaning behind Today’s Song, writing, “For anyone who has ever glanced behind our tattered, flannel curtain, you will surely find the same familiar faces that have been driving this convoy for decades. These are relationships that go far beyond the stage, with the music being only one element of our bond. Friendships that predate the inception of this little experiment we embarked upon starting at that Thanksgiving dinner in my haunted house, back when wheatgrass shots were cool and before television became an overcrowded buffet of streaming services. Without their support and guidance over the years, we surely would not be celebrating this milestone anniversary with you today. We have been blessed with this little tribe, bound by love. We thank every single one of them, and they know who they are.”

Grohl closed his letter on the website by writing, “It has been 30 years since I sat beside Nate Mendel with my hands on that Ouija board (and the last time I ever touched one) but I now realize that there was no way to predict what was to become of our lives that night. And just as I was that stormy Thanksgiving evening in 1994, I am still grateful for life, love, music, and the mystery of where this path may lead us next.”
