Foo Fighters just dropped their first new original music since 2023. Here’s “Today’s Song”
The Foo Fighters haven’t released anything new since 2023. Not surprising, given Dave’s baby mama situation and the lack of a permanent drummer now that Josh Freese is no longer part of the picture. But with the band’s 30th anniversary upon us, they had to do something. So they did.
The new track is called “Today’s Song.” Dave introduces the track this way:
“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.”
The band is going to have to find a new drummer soon. They’ve got some gigs coming up.
