Feel Good Friday: Fight That Foo
“Hey, Johnny Park!” doesn’t get a lot of respect since it landed on The Colour and the Shape. That’s “Everlong”‘s album. Also, “Monkey Wrench,” “Walking After You,” “My Hero,” and (to a lesser extent) “See You.” Still, it’s kind of grown on me lately and has become one of my favorite Foo tracks. When I stumbled across a Foo concert from 2000 on YouTube, this is the first song I sought out.
It’s not exactly a feel good song, but I really enjoy singing along with it while drumming along either on the table or in Rock Band 2. Catharsis, maybe. If I ever learn to play guitar, this is going to be on the list of things to learn.
Come and I’ll take you under
This beautiful bruise’s colours
Everything fades in time its true
Wish that I had another
Stab at the undercover
Was it a change in mind for you?
It’s impossible
I can’t let it out
You’ll never know
Am I selling you out?
Sit and watch your every mood
Your eyes still remind me of
Angels that hover above
Eyes that can change from blind to blue
It’s impossible
I can’t let it out
You’ll never know
Am I selling you out?
Sit and watch your every mood
Now that I’ve found my reward
I’d throw it away long before
I’d share a piece of mine with you
It’s impossible
I can’t let it out
You’ll never know
Am I selling you out?
Sit and watch your every mood

Stumbled upon your blog, and I just gotta say how much I love that song. It was definitely my favorite on the CD when it came out — I would just skip to it and put my CD player on repeat on the track. Good to see someone else loving it enough to write a whole blog about it!
Yeah, mine too, Samantha. I’m glad I’m not the only one who gives this track the respect it is due. Cheers!
