My iPod #375: Foo Fighters – Floaty

“Floaty” is a track placed right in the middle of Foo Fighters’ self-titled debut album – the one where Dave Grohl plays everything you hear bar one guitar part in a song.

The track consists of only three lines which are repeated throughout for verses and chorus, and the loud guitars and thrashing drums to the rest of the work. I think “Floaty” could pass for some shoegazing-esque type song, just because the guitars bury Dave Grohl’s (phased/flanged?) vocal right into the mix. Plus, the track is very pleasant to listen to no matter how loud and raucous it is. Its 6/8 time signature does add a floaty, swirling element to it. You’ll know what I mean if you listen to it.
