More From Dave Grohl

I always try to write a song, i never just want to write a record. originally i was not writing songs for myself. ....and i can say this, most of the people who have recorded my songs are songwriters themselves. ... even if i don't release it myself, somebody else might hear it and want to record it. when you write a song, it gives it that potential. when you write a song, a song has longevity. ... so i wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how i approached it-only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with god. songwriting is my gift from god.

But it's clear to me that us slow-poke writers are a dying breed. it's amazing how thoroughly my young writing students have internalized the new machine rhythm, the rush many of my young writers are in to publish. the majority don't want to sit on a book for four, five years. the majority don't want to listen to the silence inside and outside for their artistic imprimatur. the majority want to publish fast, publish now.

The song that i will sing is an old song, so old that none knows who made it. it has been handed down through generations and was taught to me when i was but a little lad. it is now my own song. it belongs to me. this is a holy song (medicine-song), and great is its power. the song tells how, as i sing, i go through the air to a holy place where yusun (the supreme being) will give me power to do wonderful things. i am surrounded by little clouds, and as i go through the air i change, becoming spirit only.
