Quizás la primera palabra que viene a la mente cuando piensas en Dave Grohl no sea la de “cantautor”, pero esas canciones deben de tener una letra que transmita un mensaje acentuado por el ritmo establecido por la música. Las canciones de los Foo Fighters suelen darle voz a las inseguridades y resentimientos de su autor. A 23 días del concierto de los Foo en el Foro Sol (todavía hay boletos para la primera fecha), te presentamos 23 de sus mejores versos en orden cronológico. ¿Cuáles son tus favoritos?
1. “I’ll Stick Around”
How could it be
I’m the only one who sees
Your rehearsed insanity
2. “Exhausted”
What if the day had stayed in bed
3. “Monkey Wrench”
All this time to make amends
What do you do when all your enemies are friends
4. “My Poor Brain”
Sometimes I feel I’m getting stuck
Between the handshake and the fuck
5. “Everlong”
The only thing I’ll ever ask of you
You got to promise not to stop when I say when
6. “New Way Home”
I’ll never tell you the secrets I’m holding
I love this leash that holds me when
I try to run away
7. “Learn to Fly”
Hook me up a new revolution
‘Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die
8. “Generator”
Lately I’m getting better
Wish I could stay sick with you
9. “Next Year”
Catch me if I get too high
When I come down
10. “All My Life”
All my life I’ve been searching for something
Something never comes never leads to nothing
11. “Times Like These”
I, I’m a street light shining,
I’m a white light blinding bright, burning off alone.
12. “Lonely As You”
Blame it on you, thought these years I’ve been losing
Blame it on the past, it’s the last place I know you
Blame all the children, they’re raging and ruined
Blame it on the black and the blue
13. “The Last Song”
I made my peace
And now I’m through
This is the last song
That I will dedicate to you
14. “Free Me”
All of the words that we damn never speak
All of our ghosts and secrets do keep
Gather them all we’ll bury them deep
15. “Resolve”
One more tear that you won’t hear
That’s gone and passed you by
16. “Virginia Moon”
And now our shades become shadows in your light
17. “The Pretender”
I’m what’s left
I’m what’s right
I’m the enemy
I’m the hand that took you down
Bring you to your knees
18. “Cheer Up, Boys (Your Make Up Is Running)”
Still I get this feeling
No one will believe me
When I let these ghosts outside my head
19. “Summer’s End”
I had that dream again
That the sun was dead
20. “Statues”
You and I were two old and tortured souls
Repaired by a love of broken things
21. “Dear Rosemary”
I couldn’t grow just living in the shadow
Where do you go when no one’s following you
22. “Dear Rosemary” (otra vez)
Truth aint gonna change the way you lie
Youth aint gonna change the way you die
23. “I Should Have Known”
I should’ve known
There was that side of you
Came without a warning
Caught me unaware
