Hey I'm glad I caught you on the phone
Thirty hours until I'm back home
Been hallucinating, me and Sean
Time to turn his headlamp back on

A deep cut written about a roadie is suddenly one of the most broadly charting Foo Fighters tracks anywhere on the global charts. The driver is the band's 2026 US stadium tour, during which they have been excavating rarely played material — including songs from In Your Honor and There Is Nothing Left to Lose that have gone years without a live airing. Per Billboard, the band played a Manhattan club show as part of the run, logging some of these rarities in only their handful of live performances ever.

"Sean" itself is a portrait of Sean Cox, the band's longtime guitar tech, built around the bleary, dislocation-of-touring feeling that Grohl has always mined better than most arena rock songwriters. It appeared on Saint Cecilia, a five-track EP released in November 2015 as a free download, and never received a conventional promotional push. Today it is tracked across 140 country and platform charts — a 3x surge over its recent baseline — carried almost entirely by setlist curiosity from fans tracking what the band is playing each night.
