Snippets from the mind of an American hero. Random observations about life, love, fishing, dementia, music, sports, and yodeling. General strangeness. Intellectual badassery.
A million miles away
Your signal in the distance
To whom it may concern
I think I lost my way
Getting good at starting over
Every time that I return
I’m learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days
We built these paper mountains
And sat and watched them burn?
I’m learning to talk again
Can’t you see I’ve waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
Do you remember the days
We built these paper mountains
And sat and watched them burn?
I think I found my place
Can’t you feel it growing stronger?
Little conquerors
I’m learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I’m learning to talk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
Now
For the very first time
Don’t you pay no mind?
Set me free again
You keep alive a moment at a time
But still inside a whisper to a riot
To sacrifice but knowing to survive
The first decline another state of mind
I’m on my knees, I’m praying for a sign
Forever, whenever
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I never wanna die
I’m on my knees
I never wanna die
I’m dancing on my grave
I’m running through the fire
Forever, whatever
I never wanna die
I never wanna leave
I’ll never say goodbye
Forever, whatever
Forever, whatever
I’m learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
Where do I begin?
I’m learning to talk again
Can’t you see I’ve waited long enough?
Where do I begin?
I’m learning to walk again
I believe I’ve waited long enough
I’m learning to talk again
Can’t you see I’ve waited long enough?
There’s really not a lot that I can say about the Foo Fighters that hasn’t already been said other than to echo the sentiment that they’re the greatest modern rock n’ roll band on the planet today. Not only do they produce spectacular music, they are exceptionally altruistic and they have a marvelous sense of humor. Seriously, can we elect Dave Grohl to public office?
The video for Walk is hilarious. The Foos have a history of producing first-rate videos with a strong humor bent, but I think this is the best of the bunch. Grohl has a future in acting if so chooses.
Note that I’ve also included a couple of other videos below. The first is their Saturday Night Live Christmas performance. The second is a live in-studio cover of AC/DC’s Let There Be Rock.
Enjoy, friends. May the spirit of Grohl amuse you on this random Tuesday.
