Pretender - break out of it!

I used to not like this song so much....I thought Foo Fighters was going down a strange road of musicality that I could not appreciate. Then I listened to the lyrics, and watched the video and an interesting interview with their lead singer, Dave Grohl. I usually come back to the same songs in life when I'm needing a kick, or getting ready for some healthy, serious, break out of the mold changes.

Pretender is about the defeat in hiding from the skeletons in your closet, putting on the mask that everyone wears everyday, and having the conviction to not be wrapped up/ captured in your life by this. It speaks about how we all do it, they all do it, and how we are the faces we have to face.... and Dave Grohl pleadingly screams at us to figure out who we are in the cycle and to break it. It's fantastic if you are feeling stuck and need an upbeat powerful tune for kicking your own bum in the gym, and in life.

Yep. I'm a closet Foo Fighters fan ;)Give it a listen below.
