Friend of a Friend was an acoustic track penned by Grohl in 1990- just weeks after he’d moved to Seattle to join Nirvana.
Written in Kurt’s Olympia apartment on his acoustic guitar, the track describes Grohl’s first impressions of the frontman and bassist Krist Novelselic, and paints a pretty bleak...
He needs a quiet room
With a lock to keep him in
It's just a quiet room
And he's there
He plays an old guitar
With a coin found by the phone
It was his friend's guitar
That he played
He's never been in love
But he knows just what love is
He said never mind
No one speaks
He thinks he drinks too much
'Cause when he tells his two best friends
"I think I drink too much"
No one speaks
He plays an old guitar
With a coin found by the phone
It was his friend's guitar
That he played
When he plays
No one speaks
No one speaks
And he plays
No one speaks
Friend of a Friend was written by Dave Grohl.
