“This Is a Call” is the lead single from the Foo Fighters self-titled debut album. It was released in 1995.[3]
“This Is a Call” is one of the few songs on the Foo Fighters’ debut album that does not date from Dave Grohl’s days with Nirvana. It was a new song written in the summer of 1994, months after Kurt Cobain‘s death. Grohl married his long-time girlfriend Jennifer Youngblood and wrote the song while on honeymoon in Ireland, “In that summer of 1994 I’d travelled a lot; I think I wrote ‘This Is A Call’ in Ireland. When I got back I booked five days in a recording studio, which seemed like an eternity, and I did the whole first Foo Fighters album in five days”.[4]
