The Foo Fighters have just released their new song “The Sky Is A Neighbourhood”. It’s the second single from the new album Concrete and Gold. And we reckon it’s going to be huge!

As you can hear in the video below, it sounds more like classic Foo Fighters - with its guitar, drums, and big-singalong chorus.

"This song is a belter... kinda feels like going back to their anthemic best," said Triple M's Head of Rock. Watch it below.

Described by Dave Grohl as "the biggest thing sonically that we’ve ever done,” “The Sky Is A Neighbourhood” is also the piece de resistance that effectively completed Foo Fighters’ album, Concrete and Gold.

“One night I was lying out looking up at stars,” Grohl recalls.

“Just imagining all of these stars as places that have life on them as well, and I decided that the sky is a neighbourhood, that we need to keep our shit together in order to survive in this universe full of life. But I had no music yet. I just had the title. So everyday I would walk around, kind of humming this thing in my head.”

The melody of the song came to Grohl without even touching a guitar, so it follows that “The Sky Is A Neighbourhood” would come just as naturally to the band: the song was recorded in a single afternoon by Grohl and fellow Foo Fighters Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Chris Shiflett, Pat Smear and Rami Jaffee.

"And once we were finished,” Grohl says. "I thought 'OK now we have an album. This is it and we’re done’… as we were mixing, I realized that we'd actually done what we set out do: to make this gigantic Foo Fighters record but with Greg Kurstin’s sense of jazz and melody and arrangement, something that we’d never done before.”
