Waiting on a War - Foo Fighters - MP3 instrumental karaoke

After 25 years and 10 albums of music bridging the worlds of hard rock, punk, grunge, and soft-rock balladry, the Foo Fighters remain one of the most reliable names in contemporary rock music. "Waiting on a War", the third single from their 2021 album Medicine at Midnight, is a testament to Dave Grohl’s almost preternatural ability to craft a hook. An anti-war song at heart, described by the band as a modern attempt at a "Give Peace a Chance" type protest song, the lyrics depict a protagonist who ponders the possibility of a bleak future for himself and humanity as the song builds in intensity, matching the increasing restlessness and anxiety of the sentiment expressed therein. Starting as a stark acoustic lament that ramps into a power chord-driven rave-up, "Waiting on a War" serves as a showcase of how the band’s expanded sonic palette comes at no cost to their emotional intensity.
