Posted to the Foo Fighters’ YouTube page this morning, a brand new song called “Rescued”.
It’s the first single from the new album, But Here We Are, which will be available on June 2nd. Fans can pre-order the album here.
From the press release: Following a year of staggering losses, personal introspection and bittersweet remembrances, Foo Fighters return with But Here We Are, out June 2 on Roswell Records/RCA Records.
A brutally honest and emotionally raw response to everything Foo Fighters endured over the last year, But Here We Are is a testament to the healing powers of music, friendship and family. Courageous, damaged and unflinchingly authentic, But Here We Are opens with newly released lead single “Rescued,” the first of 10 songs that run the emotional gamut from rage and sorrow to serenity and acceptance, and myriad points in between.
Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, But Here We Are is in nearly equal measure the 11th Foo Fighters album and the first chapter of the band’s new life. Sonically channeling the naiveté of Foo Fighters’ 1995 debut, informed by decades of maturity and depth, But Here We Are is the sound of brothers finding refuge in the music that brought them together in the first place 28 years ago, a process that was as therapeutic as it was about a continuation of life.
The lyrics:
It came in a flash It came out of nowhere It happened so fast And then it was over Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Is this happening now? Are you feeling what I’m feeling? This is happening now. We’re all free to some degree To dance under the lights I’m just waiting to be rescued Bring me back to life Kings and queens and in-betweens We all deserve the right I’m just waiting to be rescued I’m just waiting to be rescued We’re all just waiting to be rescued tonight I fell in a trap My heart’s getting colder It’s coming on fast It’s over my shoulder Are you thinking what I’m thinking? Is this happening now? Are you feeling what I’m feeling? This is happening now. We’re all free to some degree To dance under the lights I’m just waiting to be rescued Bring me back to life Kings and queens and in-betweens We all deserve the right I’m just waiting to be rescued I’m just waiting to be rescued We’re all just waiting to be rescued tonight To be rescued tonight Rescue me tonight
