Birthdays are always a time to reminisce. With the Foo Fighters celebrating their 30th anniversary this year, is in a reflective mood on "Today's Song," the band's first new song since their 2023 album, But Here We Are.
"Today's Song" is woven with themes of personal evolution and endurance. Dave sings how life "might take you under" or "shatter you whole," but you must not wait for "someone to repair you." Instead, this song—a blend of classic Foo Fighters alternative rock with a big arena epic—aims to inspire you to persevere.
"Today's Song" on July 2 with artwork from Dave's daughter, Harper Grohl, and a message to fans (posted on foofighters.com). "Over the years, we've had moments of unbridled joy, and moments of devastating heartbreak. Moments of beautiful victory, and moments of painful defeat," wrote Dave.
"We have mended broken bones and broken hearts," he continued. "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."
Dave also acknowledged the former members of the Foo Fighters who helped the band along the way. "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," he added, before turning his attention to Taylor Hawkins, the band's founding drummer, who died in 2022.
"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," wrote Dave. "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."
"Today's Song" is the first piece of new Foo Fighters music since Dave went public with the news that he fathered a child out of his marriage. On the day of "Today's Song's release, Dave was spotted with his wife, Jordyn Blum, in London.Dave Grohl Reflects on Moments of 'Heartbreak' and 'Joy' in New Foo Fighters Song first appeared on Parade on Jul 2, 2025
