while my past few saturday throwbacks have not been under the radar tunes, they have all been songs that bring me back to some place of being young and naive and just discovering that i liked this music thing that i had been hearing about, and today is no different. in fact, this was perhaps among my favorite songs in high school for so many reasons. and while flipping through the television today, i caught a live performance by the foo fighters (are they still around making new music?) at wembley stadium performing this very song, and it brought back a flurry of memories. not specific memories, moreso just how this used to be my go-to pump you up song. i also think this song is responsible for my desire to become a drummer, because i would always find myself finger-drumming the pre-chorus on any table or surface i could find. and its another michel gondry directed video, complete with giant hands (which were later seen in his excellent film “the science of sleep”). and now that ive remembered this 90s rock gem, i would say that i still consider it among my favorite songs. a true alternative rock classic, i think this is one of those songs that will always make me smile. and it sounds even better as i listen to it right now, as youre reading this, poolside in palm springs.
