Halo by Foo Fighters

The song is simple yet powerful, just like any power pop song by Foo Fighters. The bass line is surprisingly creative as well especially at the 0:26 - 0:29, that was a refreshing lick. This is one was released at the time when my interest in Foo Fighters have been waning and I have moved to other bands. Listening to it again though revitalized my love for Dave Grohl and his band.

Good and bad I swear I've had them
Both are overrated
But isn't it fun
when you get hold of one

Some go bad and some come back
The good ones all get taken
I'm calling your bluff
You ain’t strong enough

Wait and pray you'll pick on me
the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned

Halo god only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go

Say your prayers when you get scared
You pray you're gonna make it
and then when you're done
you keep fucking up

One day soon I'll disappear
and if you'll come I'll take you
somewhere to go
To keep from growing old

Wait and pray you'll pick on me the day I raise my hand
Guess that I've been blessed but I'll be damned

Halo god only knows
Right behind me everywhere I go

Disappear the light is fading
Disappear outside their range
Disappear I'm tired of waiting
Disappear before we fade away
