Foo Fighters are marking the 30th anniversary of their classic 1995 debut by unveiling “Today’s Song,” the first new music from the band since their universally acclaimed 2023 album, But Here We Are. Available now across digital platforms, “Today’s Song” serves as the opening salvo of their next creative chapter.
In true Foo Fighters fashion, “Today’s Song” is an indelible anthem radiating unbridled optimism. From its subtle melodic intro to its soaring crescendos, the three-minute-fifteen-second epic explores lyrical themes of personal evolution and perseverance amidst life’s uncertainties and the relentless march of time.
In a note posted online to fans, Dave Grohl wrote,
Over the years, we’ve had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak. Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat. We have mended broken bones and broken hearts. But we have followed this road together, with each other, for each other, no matter what. Because in life, you just can’t go it alone.
It 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.
And… 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. The 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.
