Song of the Moment CVII: Foo Fighters’ “Asking for a Friend”

If you’re going to ask me what my favorite song of 2025 is, it’s definitely the second Foo Fighters song they released that year, “Asking for a Friend”. I love the music so much that I wrote a love letter about it, and I have heard it 700+ times as I type this entry. (Thank you for keeping track, Last.fm.) I also assigned it as one of my alarm clock tunes along with “Run” (my favorite track from the album Concrete and Gold) and “The Pretender” (my all-time favorite song). Those are good reasons already for it to be my Song of the Moment.

Foo Fighters’ “Asking for a Friend”.

Notes to Self XXIII

Tonight is New Year’s Eve, and as I welcome 2026 with open arms and a worried yet excited heart in a few hours, I would like to close 2025 with a new Notes to Self that tackles about remembering… well, choosing what to remember.

Notes to Self XXII

Recently, I have been receiving so much light in the form of good deeds and happy moments (e.g., the recent Foo Fighters show, meeting my new friend, and my happiest birthday yet), and that generous amount of light makes me feel good.

But what’s better than receiving? It’s giving, especially the altruistic kind.

This is my 22nd Notes to Self.
