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.

Virginia Moon
Foo Fighters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stay there, soft and blue
Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
Sweetest invitation, breaking the day in two
Feelin' like I do
Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
And now our shades become shadows in your light
I will say goodnight
Secret fascination, whisper a quiet tune
Hear me callin' you
Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
And now our shapes become shadows in your light
In the morning, when we're through and tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight
Virginia moon, I'll wait for you tonight
And now our shades become shadows in your light
In the morning, when we're through and tomorrow rescues you
I will say goodnight
I will say goodnight
I will say goodnight
The lyrics to Foo Fighters' song Virginia Moon paint a beautiful, dreamy picture of a night sky with a constellation and a soft blue Virginia moon. The first stanza talks about staying in the peaceful and calming presence of the heavens above. The second stanza talks about a sweet invitation that separates the day in two and how the singer is feeling. The singer expresses their longing to wait for the Virginia moon tonight, while also acknowledging that their shades become shadows in the light of the moon. The following stanza talks about a secret fascination and a quiet whisper that the singer hopes can be heard, once again expressing their desire to wait for the Virginia moon tonight.
The chorus repeats the same lines, emphasising the singer's longing and their acknowledgement that they will say goodnight in the morning when they part ways with the Virginia moon. The repetition of the chorus provides a sense of continuity and deepens the feelings of longing and romance in the song. The song touches on themes of waiting, fascination, longing, and separation, painting a romantic and dreamy image of the night sky.
