On June 14, 2005, The Foo Fighters released their 5th studio album In Your Honor. It’s a double album with heavy rock songs on the 1st disc and mellow acoustic tracks on the 2nd. And my favorite song on the acoustic side (and one of my top 20 favorite Foo Fighters songs ever) is “Another Round”.
I love “Another Round” for a few reasons. Firstly, the harmonica solo by Danny Clinch made the song stand out from the rest of disc 2. Secondly, Dave Grohl’s gentle guitar strumming while singing his heart out. And thirdly, I am in awe of the mellow lyrics. Here is a part of it:
Room full of photographs
Foo Fighters’ “Another Round”
Box full of letters
Come on make it last
Nothing else matters right now
But even if “Another Round” is one of my favorite Foos songs of all time, I have listened to it less in recent years. Maybe it’s because of some of the memories attached to the song when I listened to it almost nonstop. But now I’m older, I have been through a lot, and many things have changed, tonight I’m listening to it multiple times with a different understanding.
That is all.
