Foo Fighters Guitarist Chris Shiflett Shares New Catchy Solo Single “Long, Long Year”

Chris Shiflett, guitarist for the Foo Fighters, has shared a new solo single titled “Long, Long Year”. The song, which combines Shiflett’s California roots with a Nashville sound, also has an accompanying lyrical music video:

The song is Shiflett’s first solo effort since his 2019 album Hard Lessons. Sung with an uplifting, forward-looking tone, Shiflett’s ballad is a love song that’s meant to serve as a hopeful look at the future. Its metatextual meaning is also meant to serve as a yearning desire for a better future following the constrictions of the pandemic that has lasted these last few years. It’s easy listening – soothing music for a troubled time.

Last year, Shiflett and the rest of the Foo Fighters were nominated for Best Rock Song at the Grammy Awards. Their song, “Waiting on War”, went on to win the award. Shiflett was last seen performing on stage earlier this year at the Foo Fighters’ tribute concert for their late drummer, Taylor Hawkins.
