A lyric video for Foo Fighters‘ fourth “Your Favorite Toy” single, “Of All People“, has touched down online. This song drew inspiration from a person from frontman Dave Grohl‘s running into a reformed heroin dealer some 30 years later and the conflicted feelings that encounter stirred within him.
Speaking to The Guardian this past March, Grohl said he wrote the song:
“…After bumping into a drug dealer from the 90s that was getting everyone fucked up on heroin. I hadn’t seen them in 30 years, and they’re alive, healthy and sober. I was so happy that this person survived, while at the same time, I was devastated, because of all of the people I know that we’ve lost to exactly that drug.
I was so fucking angry, but at the same time so grateful to see them alive and well. Again, a conversation within myself, feeling so conflicted and divided. When I read the lyrics back, I mentioned them to my therapist: is this survivor’s guilt?”
If you were wondering about Grohl mention of his therapist in that quote, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Famer has previously mentioned that he’s partaken in in an intense regiment of therapy in the wake of his late 2024 infidelity scandal. “Your Favorite Toy” will be out before the month’s end, with the Foo Fighters‘ Roswell Records having scheduled it for an April 24th release.
