Prior to the release of Foo Fighters' 1995 debut album Foo Fighters, which featured Grohl as the only official member, Grohl recruited bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, both formerly of Sunny Day Real Estate, as well as Nirvana touring guitarist Pat Smear. The band began with performances in Portland, Oregon. Goldsmith quit during the recording of their second album, The Colour and the Shape (1997); most of the drum parts were re-recorded by Grohl. Smear departed soon afterward but appeared as a guest with the band frequently from 2005; he rejoined in 2010.
Smear and Goldsmith were replaced by Franz Stahl and Taylor Hawkins; Stahl was fired before the recording of the group's third album, There Is Nothing Left to Lose (1999). The band briefly continued as a trio until Chris Shiflett joined on guitar after the completion of There Is Nothing Left to Lose. Foo Fighters released their fourth album, One by One, in 2002. It was followed with the two-disc In Your Honor (2005), which was split between acoustic songs and heavier material. Foo Fighters released their sixth album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, in 2007.
For Foo Fighters' seventh studio album, Wasting Light (2011), produced by Butch Vig, Smear returned as a full member. Sonic Highways (2014) was released as the soundtrack to the television miniseries directed by Grohl. Concrete and Gold (2017) was the second Foo Fighters album to reach number one in the United States and their first studio album to feature longtime session and touring keyboardist Rami Jaffee as a full member. The band's tenth album, Medicine at Midnight (2021), was the last to feature Hawkins, who died in March 2022.
Produced by Greg Kurstin and Foo Fighters, "But Here We Are" (the band's 11th) would release on June 2nd, 2023.
On May 21, 2023, some days before the album's release, Foo Fighters would officially announce that Josh Freese would be the new drummer.
Over the course of their career, Foo Fighters have won 15 Grammy Awards, including Best Rock Album five times, making them among the most successful rock acts in Grammy history. In 2021, the band was announced as recipients of the first-ever "Global Icon" award at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2021, their first year of eligibility.

Walking After You
Foo Fighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
I'm on your back
I'm on your back
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you'd accept surrender, give up some more
Weren't you adored?
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
I'm on your back
I'm on your back
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
I'm on your back
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked
In two
I'm on your back, ooh-ooh-ooh
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
Oh-whoa-oh-oh
I'm on your back
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked
In two
I'm on your back, ooh-oh-oh
Ooh-oh-oh
The lyrics to Foo Fighters' "Walking After You" touch on the themes of love, obsession, and desperation. The first verse creates a dreamy atmosphere with the singer imagining himself tangled up in a blanket of clouds and dreaming aloud. The second verse is where the desperation kicks in as the singer expresses that things just won't do without the object of his affection. He feels a sense of dependency and attachment to this person, hence the repetition of "I'm on your back". The chorus reveals the extent of his devotion and desperation by stating that if the person walks out on him, he will be walking after them.
The third verse has a hint of bitterness as the singer asks the person to give up some more and suggests that they were adored at one point but now seem less willing to commit. However, his need for this person remains unbroken, and he repeats "I'm on your back" once again. The bridge of the song introduces the idea that another heart besides his own has been cracked in two, implying that there is more to the story than just his own desperate love.
Overall, "Walking After You" portrays the intense desire to hold onto someone who may not reciprocate the feelings. It highlights the painful truth that some people become so integral to our lives that we find ourselves unable to let go, even if it leads to our own suffering.

My girlfriend use to think this was called I'm on your back......
She loved this song either way....
I now cry every single time I hear it.....because she passed away last year.....
My heart is cracked in two and she was adored
I can't even walk after her to get her back....

My 11 year old cat passed away last sunday. This was the song (this exactly version) I had in my head during her last hours, for sure influenced by having purchased the 7" vinyl the day before. Now this song is her for me. Love you Pepi.
