Foo Fighters are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the band’s debut with the beginning of a new era, with their first new track since summer 2023’s But Here We Are out now. “Today’s Song” begins with Grohl singing over a bed of guitar and synth chords, joined by layers of subtle harmonies. “You know that nothing can prepare you / Don’t let this cruel world compare you,” he sings before some capital-R rock guitars enter the fold.
In a note to fans posted today, 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.”
