New Foo Fighters Song “Rescued” Dropped This Morning And New Album Info

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

Foo Fighters: List of Festivals They’re Headlining in 2023

Foo Fighters will be headlining a number of festivals in 2023, which will be the first shows since their tribute concerts in honor of late drummer Taylor Hawkins.

The announcement of these headlining festival dates will likely show what the Foo Fighters will be like following the sudden passing of Hawkins in March 2022. On New Year’s Eve, the band shared a statement with fans confirming they would continue but that they were “going to be a different band going forward.”

The band’s full statement is as follows:

“As we say goodbye to the most difficult and tragic year that our band has ever known, we are reminded of how thankful we are for the people that we love and cherish most, and for the loved ones who are no longer with us.

Foo Fighters were formed 27 years ago to represent the healing power of music and a continuation of life. And for the past 27 years, our fans have built a worldwide community, a devoted support system that has helped us all get through the darkest of times together. A place to share our joy and our pain, our hopes and fears, and to join in a chorus of life together through music. Without Taylor, we never would have become the band that we were – and without Taylor, we know that we’re going to be a different band going forward.

We also know that you, the fans, meant as much to Taylor as he meant to you. And we know that when we see you again – and we will soon – he’ll be there in spirit with all of us every night.”
