Foo Fighters’ "Waiting On A War" l ‘Medicine At Midnight’ l – Alternative Press

As promised, Foo Fighters unveiled their timely new song Waiting On A War on Thursday.

The new track is off of their forthcoming 10th studio album Medicine At Midnight.

2021 has already been a big year for Foo Fighters. Along with ringing in the New Year with their recent song No Son Of Mine, Foo Fighters just announced a limited edition collab with Vans in celebration of their 25th anniversary as a band.

However, next month, things are going to get even more exciting for Foo Fighters. On Feb. 5, they are releasing their 10th studio album Medicine At Midnightwhich includes the lead singleShame Shame and its nightmarish video.

Now, Foo Fighters are giving fans another taste of their forthcoming album with Waiting On A War. The song, which the band teased earlier this week, is an autobiographical piece from Dave Grohl.

As a child growing up in the suburbs of Washington DC, I was always afraid of war, he says. I had nightmares of missiles in the sky and soldiers in my backyard, most likely brought upon by the political tension of the early 1980s and my proximity to the Nations Capitol. My youth was spent under the dark cloud of a hopeless future.

After having a very difficult, yet timely, conversation with his daughter, Grohl went on to write Waiting On A War.

Last fall, as I was driving my daughter to school, she turned to me and asked, Daddy, is there going to be a war? My heart sank as I realized that she was now living under the same dark cloud that I had felt 40 years ago, he says. I wrote Waiting on a War that day. Everyday waiting for the sky to fall. Is there more to this than that? Is there more to this than just waiting on a war? Because I need more. We all do. This song was written for my daughter, Harper, who deserves a future, just as every child does.

Previously, GrohlrevealedthatMedicine At Midnightis a critical release in Foo Fighters decades-spanning career.

Its filled with anthemic, huge, sing-along rock songs, he said. [Its] kind of like a dance record, but not an EDM, disco, modern dance record. Its got groove. To me, its ourDavid BowiesLets Dancerecord. Thats what we wanted to make, we wanted to make this really up, fun record.

ProducerAndrew Wattrecently shared that Hawkins isamong the musicians workingonOzzy Osbournes new album.MetallicasRobert Trujilloandthe Red Chili PeppersChad Smithare also part of Ozzys studio band.
