"Walk" is a song by Americanrock bandFoo Fighters, released as the third single from their seventh studio albumWasting Light. It was written byDave Grohl and co-produced byButch Vig.

Release and reception

[edit]

The song was released on June 6, 2011, to rock radio. No physical CD single was released; it is only a digital downloadable single. The song reached number one on theBillboardRock Songs chart on July 20, 2011, dethroning the album's previous single "Rope", giving the band their third number one single on the chart - the most on the chart so far. On February 12, 2012, the song won two awards at the54th Grammy Awards forBest Rock Performance andBest Rock Song. They also performed the song live at the Grammys.

Song information

[edit]

According to Dave Grohl, he came up with the verse about "having a trial" after the time he was helping his first daughterViolet Maye on "learning to walk", and eventually she was able to walk on her own. The song was supposed to be on the previous studio albumEchoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, but Dave decided to put the final version as the last track ofWasting Light because it "sort of makes sense to the album's theme of time and second chances" and to "end the record on a positive note".^[1] Grohl added that the optimistic tone was a reminiscence on how bad he felt afterKurt Cobain killed himself and wanting others to realize "in life, you get trapped in crisis, where you imagine there’s no way out. When really, if you dare to consider that crisis a blip on the radar, it’s easier to push through. And, yeah, I was just like, ‘I don’t want anyone to have that feeling that I had that morning.’ ”Pat Smear, who played with Grohl and Cobain inNirvana, considers "Walk" and its lyrics about enjoying life an antithesis to the Nirvana song "I Hate Myself and Want to Die".^[2]
