Best of You





I chose this song called “Best of You” from Foo Fighters. This is an American rock band formed in Seattle in 1994. This song is the first single released from the band's fifth studio album.
This song caught my attention thanks to the power, strength, character and energy of the singer in this interpretation. The contrasting images of well-being and disaster, pain and peace, hate and love. etc. Also, the singer questioning and reflecting a lot about our actions. He invites us to do an introspection.
This song can be interpreted in different ways because in the choir
"Were you born to resist or be abused?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you?
Is someone getting the best, the best, the best, the best of you? "
each person can think of a "someone" different from another, one can think of a friend or relative, or even yourself, who is on the situation of being repressed for something.
"Best of You" shows the ability that we have within us to resurface in the face of adversity, to express our anger, pain and suffering for free from the chains that bind us. Also shows the courage, determination and strength to withstand all that comes to us.
Foo Fighters, with this song, tell us that we always have the power and the strength to move on and don’t give up.
I love this song, listen to it :D
