Song of the Moment CI: Foo Fighters’ “Everlong (Acoustic)” (Again)

It’s been a few days since my family and I arrived home from the capital of South Korea. My body is waving the white flag, tired from all the constant walking. (But thank goodness the cold weather made the trek comforting. Also, for a day, I wore a cold-weather outfit inspired by John Reese’s winter attire from Person of Interest [long, black coat, gloves, the works], which made me feel spy-badass while walking around. For a day, I truly embody The Man in the Suit.)

And honestly, my heart and soul are still halfway from Seoul. (Hey, that rhymed.) Why? Well, exactly a month after experiencing a true happy point (the Foo Fighters show at the Singapore Grand Prix), I experienced another true happy point during the Seoul tour, and these two lines from Foo Fighters’ “Everlong” (the 11th song and second single from The Colour and the Shape) perfectly describe it.

If everything could ever feel this real forever
If anything could ever be this good again

My hero, Dave Grohl, performs the acoustic version of Foo Fighters’ “Everlong” at the Save Our Stages Fest (2020).

I will tell you the full story once I fully recover and finish the other drafts I’m working on. But for now, I’m glad I’m feeling this real and this good again.

See you in the next post.

Song of the Moment XCIX: Foo Fighters’ “My Hero”

I almost wrote a lengthy Song of the Moment post, but I ended up erasing it entirely. Honestly, tonight, I’d rather prepare myself for my second mind-blowing Foo Fighters show tomorrow night at the Singapore Grand Prix. And one of the things I’m looking forward to is singing along as the ferocious Dave Grohl shreds the guitar and screams these lines from my Song of the Moment, “My Hero”:

There goes my hero
Watch him as he goes
There goes my hero
He’s ordinary

Happiest weekend, everyone! See you in the next post!

Song of the Moment XCVIII: Foo Fighters’ “Enough Space”

My favorite band in the world, Foo Fighters, has played a few intimate shows recently in the US. And when I searched their three latest setlists from Setlist.fm, I found that they have one thing in common: they started the show with “Enough Space”, one of my favorite and heaviest tracks from their magnum opus, The Colour and the Shape.

The intro of “Enough Space” has this enchanting, bouncing rhythm that makes me want to jump for several seconds, and when the guitars, drums, and bass finally crash, the jumping and the headbanging turn up to eleven. If the Foos will open their Asia shows with “Enough Space”, I will absolutely go ape shit.

See you in the next post!

And as for the Foo Fighters, see you this coming week!
