Inspiration truly comes from anywhere – read where Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters found it for “Of All People”

A lyric video for Foo Fighters‘ fourth “Your Favourite Toy” single, “Of All People“, has touched down online, as per theprp. This song was inspired by frontman Dave Grohl’s interaction with a recovered heroin dealer some 30 years later and the conflicting emotions it caused in him. Grohl claimed to have written the song in an interview with The Guardian in March.

After bumping into a drug dealer from the 90s that was getting everyone fucked up on heroin. I hadn’t seen them in 30 years, and they’re alive, healthy and sober. I was so happy that this person survived, while at the same time, I was devastated, because of all of the people I know that we’ve lost to exactly that drug.

I was so fucking angry, but at the same time so grateful to see them alive and well. Again, a conversation within myself, feeling so conflicted and divided. When I read the lyrics back, I mentioned them to my therapist: is this survivor’s guilt?
