![]() ![]() I love wheels, this is a call, Monkey wrench and the pretender as well” “Great song… this was when Foo Fighters still had some Nirvana in them (Dave wrote this song while drumming for the grunge band) and when their music was a lot louder and rockier. I am so glad they were my first album!”ġ3. The lyrics speak to me more then any other song they have, hell maybe, it speaks to me more than any song I’ve heard. At the time I was about 12, so to successfully buy my first CD by myself was special… Little did I know that they were to become my favorite band of all time and this song to stay with me until even today. “Their Greatest Hits album was the first I bought. #Foo fighter long road to ruin full“This song is just perfect, it has a very powerful meaning, “I just kinda died for you, you just kinda stared at me, we will always have the chance, We can do this one more time” it is so perfect… The guitar is so calm and relaxing and in the chorus is full of power but is still calm… By far my favourite song, and I have heard all of their albums including Wasting Light… This song is epic” ![]() Aurora (There Is Nothing Left to Lose, 1999) Underneath this tree I imagine me and my sweetheart parking our car and making love between the wheat ears with the stars looking down on us.”ġ5. A single giant willow tree growing in one of the fields breaks the uniformity of the land. Wide and endless fields stretch for miles on it’s right and left-hand side. There is no civilisation around so the only light comes from millions of sparkling stars and a couple of old-fashioned street lights lining the road. I always picture a beautiful scenery: an actual paved road, old and dusty, above it the night sky. Listening to it makes me feel like being someplace else, someplace magical. Long Road to Ruin (Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, 2007) Easily the most underrated song in their catalog.”ġ6. The pause before “EASY FOR YOU TO SAY” sends chills down my spine every listen of this masterpiece. Yet in These Days, his emotion translates into the music more than in any other song of theirs. Live in the moment, but before you know it, the moment will be gone.“Dave Grohl is one of the most genuine musicians ever, and he is so transparent in every one of the Foo’s songs. "No turning back, don't turn that page" - This means the person doesn't want to look back at their past or think ahead to their future. "Is that the price you pay/running through hell/heaven can wait" - This is talking about what the consequences you suffer when you live a bad life and just figure you can fix your life later heaven can wait. "No dead end in sight" - this continues off of the "Long Road" metaphor: you don't see the dead end coming, and you only think about the present (living in the moment). "Long Road to Ruin" means you are driving down a long road that will lead to your own demise (think the car-crash scene at the end of the music video). "No stranger singing in your name" means nobody is standing behind you or with you you are an idol to no one. When it says "One flag was taken down/to raise another in its place" it makes me think of the popular trends that come and go how one trend is thrown out to make room for a new one. I think "Long Road to Ruin" is about living in the moment and trying to be someone you aren't. ![]()
