Felt out of sorts all day, then I stumbled over this while perusing stuff on YouTube. I've loved this song since I first heard it ...
It's a great tune in my book (though, as always, YMMV). Lately I've been a bit down on what was my favorite band for the last few years. Part of it is due to the loss of their drummer, Taylor Hawkins, four years ago. I saw the Foo Fighters for the first time before Taylor died, the energy was incredible. (The lead-in photo was before the show I saw them with Taylor on drums.)
I saw them with their new drummer, Josh Freese, back in 2024. The band was still great, but the energy was different. Not bad, just different. Then last year, they fired Josh. I haven't heard them with the new guy, Ilan Rubin. Drummers are an extremely critical piece of a band. Changing drummers sometimes changes everything.
Anyhoo, I'm starting to listen to their music again. I kind of missed them.
Who knows what the future holds, for now, I'll listen to the music, wherever it comes from ...
Wheels
Dave Grohl, Nate Mendel, Taylor Hawkins & Chris Shiflett
(One, two, three, four)
I know what you're thinkin'
We were goin' down
I can feel the sinkin'
But then I came around
And everyone I've loved before
Flashed before my eyes
And nothin' mattered anymore
I looked into the sky
Well, I wanted somethin' better, man
I wished for somethin' new
And I wanted somethin' beautiful
I wish for somethin' true
Been lookin' for a reason, man
Somethin' to lose
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
When the wheels touch ground (When the wheels touch ground)
And you feel like it's all over, there's another round for you
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
Know your head is spinnin'
Broken hearts will mend
This is our beginnin'
Comin' to an end
Well, you wanted somethin' better, man
You wished for somethin' new
Well, you wanted somethin' beautiful
You wished for somethin' true
Been lookin' for a reason, man
Somethin' to lose
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
When the wheels touch ground (When the wheels touch ground)
And you feel like it's all over, there's another round for you
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
[Instrumental Break]
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
When the wheels touch ground (When the wheels touch ground)
And you feel like it's all over, there's another round for you
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
When the wheels touch ground (When the wheels touch ground)
And you feel like it's all over, there's another round for you
When the wheels come down (When the wheels come down)
What do you Chanters like for music? Let me know in the comments.
I'm way too pensive to continue, so for the moment ...
Sarge, out.
