Foo fighters when do i begin

Or perhaps it is talking about how both of the people in the relationship have this past where they've had to destroy the memories of their relationships to get on and fall in love again, but I think it is more him asking himself the question "do you remember those days? They did it. They beat the memories of their old love, or whatever that made them so lonely before. Gives me goosebumps, man.

The last part is just the celebration of the love I think. There's other stuff in there about the relationship too. The first decline the first fight, or feeling it might not be right. There's a bunch of stuff you can pull from it.

I think a lot of people could relate to this. I also kind of took it as a recovery piece. Perhaps from alcoholism.

I know the guys in the band have had some troubles with drugs and what not. Living life while not on something could be like learning to do everything all over again. You're a completely different person sober. I like my first interpretation better, but I can see how there are a lot of things that can be pulled from this little song which in my opinion is the best on the new record, and probably the best Foo song since Best of You which has awesome personal meaning to me.

No Replies Log in to reply. Song Meaning A song about a man's spiritual walk with God. I believe the author is realizing that the things that we strive for on this earth aren't eternal He watched them burn XpiEtoE That's nice and all, music means what you want it to mean. That theory kind of falls flat though when you take into account that Dave Grohl doesn't believe in god.

Austin on August 26, My Interpretation Hi all. All the meanings I have read seem very realistic, but also very simplistic, i. To me, this song has a deeper meaning, not sure if you'll agree or not.

The best place for me to start explaining what this song means to me is in the chorus line 'learning to walk again'. When I first heard this, to me it sounded like a cry for the world over to start again, after we've successfully screwed it up with talks of depression, war, paranoia etc. This song could have a deep meaning as a cry for the world to go back to the way it was. The opening line 'a million miles away, your signal in the distance, "To whom it may concern"' to me is the way the world used to be, trying to send a signal trying to get the world out of this mess, hoping someone will hear it.

The next line 'I think I lost my way, getting good at starting over, every time that I return' then also makes sense if you think of him talking from "a person who's lost hope"'s perspective, who manages to hear the signal. The "paper mountains" reference here could show how we built such a great world from nothing, then destroyed it, i. In the next line "I think I found my place", this "person who's lost hope" is deciding where his loyalties in this world lie, and the line after "can't you feel it growing stronger, little conquerors" is him asking the powers that be, i.

Those are a few examples to back up my interpretation. Remember, it's only my opinion on its meaning, you don't have to agree, just another way of looking at it! My mind was blown when I heard the paper mountains burning part. He's singing about babylon and its many iterations, every senseless, heartless pointless empire in the history of humanity that was built on a paper mountain, or the vacuous commandments of men that bring in no effect or power into reality. Everytime that he returns, imo is the Christ-like figure, that comes and unbinds the oppressed.

The enlightened one that can see further. He's struggling to begin since every iteration of salvation is different. Totally agree on your take of the little conquerors, he's talking about the tyrants, the short minded, tha forceful mindsets that deny any inherent beauty in nature and ascribe their own empty meaning to make life worth the same as a bunch of ink and paper. General Comment I see this song as having two distinct meanings or what Dave was thinking about when writing it.

This has grown to be my favorite song on Wasting Light. Such a positive life loving song. Meaning one: About life on the road and being in a band, a song to your wife and kids about how it feels to be on the road, know they are at home living their life your signal in the distance , and then what it is like to be home.

You've been on the road for 6 months playing shows, seeing your family a few days a month, etc. Being at home, playing with your kids, loving your wife, "learning the walk again" and how great it feels. Meaning two: Just about the exact opposite. A song to the fans. Taking a break from music, then slowly writing and recording songs, knowing the fans are out there, getting with the band after having not recorded with them for 2 years, catching up, playing songs, writing lyrics Nickel II on May 06, Link.

Nickel II. General Comment I agree with a couple of the other posters in that this song is about falling down and getting back up again. The paper mountains could symbolize anything - goals, relationships, maybe even beliefs that were destroyed. But you can't let that destroy you, get your butt up and move on because life is short and there are plenty of other paths you can take.

General Comment If you look at this album and what it means for the Foo Fighters, the meaning of the song really shines through. FF have been making music, but one of the reasons I fell in love with FF was that you could hear their soul in the music. It seems like FF has strayed from that and are just now getting back. I think this is FF's best album and defines them as artists.

This song is about getting back to youby means of an artform theirs is music The one who you always were. MissChevy13 on December 14, Link. General Comment i thought eargasms were imaginary General Comment Great soundin' tune to close the record.

I'll take a bit of a different tack on this one, as Dave has said that he likes to right universal songs. It's about a new human life that's been reincarnated. Learnin' to walk and talk again. I especially dig the parts about down prayin' I never wanna die, another state of mind- It seems kinda like a realization of everything in cosmos is locked in me- but I'm startin' again. Good or bad- I dunno- just seems like a desire to not have to wait too long to never have to die again, you know.

I know, kinda a stretch. And don't ask me bout paper mountains- all I can think about is some Hindu cremation- don't they burn paper boats, or isn't the body wrapped in white atop a woodpile? General Comment I love this song and as with all songs, I think the interpretation of it is personal.

In mid, Foo Fighters headed into the studio to start work on their second album and their first as a real-life band. Although he toured with Foo Fighters and helped record a couple of songs for film soundtracks, he too departed in The '00s proved to be another stellar decade for the band. The first disc saw the band at their anthemic, hard-rocking best on songs including Best Of You, while the second disc boasted mellower acoustic numbers such as Friend Of A Friend, a solo performance by Grohl of a track he wrote in about his experiences joining Nirvana.

Following nearly two years of festival performances and extensive touring, Grohl planned to take a much-needed break. Sonic Highways arrived in , with every song recorded in a different American city. While touring the world in to support Sonic Highways , Grohl fell off stage in Gothenburg, Sweden and broke his leg — somehow managing to finish the concert in a seated position. After a dream induced by his pain medication, Grohl self-designed a guitar-themed throne so he could sit comfortably while shredding on stage, which allowed Foo Fighters to complete their tour as well as record the five-song Saint Cecilia EP in Austin, Texas.

While returning to the studio in to start recording another album, Foo Fighters also began releasing a series of EPs containing elusive live tracks under the umbrella name Foo Files. The band had elaborate plans to celebrate their 25th anniversary in by revisiting the same stops from their very first US tour in a Dodge van. Billed as The Van Tour, those shows had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

In April, Grohl premiered his latest film project, a documentary called What Drives Us, in which he interviewed rock stars about their early days on the road living out of vans. On their ensuing dates, the band trolled a protest by the Wellsboro Baptist Church by playing You Should Be Dancing from the back of a truck.

In August , the Foo Fighters announced their return to the UK with a tour consisting of four huge stadium shows set in June and July The Foo Fighters frontman has released a new book chronicling tales of life and music. Tickets go on sale from on Friday 20 August Platinum tickets and hotel packages will also be available.
