Foo Fighters

I love to communicate with songs. Music is becoming a part more and more important of my life, and I like to find parts of myself inside my favourite tracks... That happen very very often with bands like Foo Fighers :-) I love them! They are so energetic, and I like the stories they tell, about life, society... and sometimes about love. They have a very cool band name too: do you know what does it means?
Today I chose two songs. The first one is about time of changing :-) If you already know me, you can understand what I am thinking about while listening this lyric... My life will change a lot in less then a month. Is already changing!
The second one is one of the best song they made, in my opinion. I just like it :-) What you you think they are talking about?
I think they are talking about a relationship. I think that was a kind of nonsense one, and they decided to split up. I think he knows that he is still under her influence, and he wants to get out. He knows it will happen. And he would like to know if the two of them are really giving the best of them, going on their own ways.
Reality, or just the way to adapt a wonderful song to a situation that is really familiar to me? Who knows :-)

You will notice that I choose two acoustic versions of the songs. I think Foo Fighters songs are particularly nice to play just with a guitar and the voice :-) I will go for...

Times like these




I am a one way motorway
I’m the one that drives away
Then follows you back home
I am a street light shining
I’m a wild light blinding bright
Burning off alone

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again

I am a new day rising
I’m a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?

It’s times like these you learn to live again
It’s times like these you give and give again
It’s times like these you learn to love again
It’s times like these time and time again



Best of you





I’ve got another confession to make
I’m your fool
Everyone’s got their chains to break
Holdin’ you

Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Are you gone and onto somewhere new?
I needed someone to hang my head
Without your noose
You gave me something that I didn’t have
But had no use
I was too weak to give in
Too strong to lose
My heart is under arrest again
But I break loose
My head is giving me life or death
But I can’t choose
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Has someone taken your faith?
It’s real, the pain you feel
Your trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

Has someone taken your faith?
It’s real, the pain you feel
The life, the love
You die to heal
The hope that starts
The broken hearts
Your trust, you must
Confess

Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?

I’ve got another confession my friend
I’m no fool
I’m getting tired of starting again
Somewhere new

Were you born to resist or be abused?
I swear I’ll never give in
I refuse
