Dave Grohl said he never wanted to perform Foo Fighters’ 2007 song ‘Home’ live because its subject matter about separation from family while touring affects him too deeply. The piano-led ballad, from *Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace*, marked a notably gentler departure from the band’s usual stadium-rock sound and highlighted Grohl’s wish not to be seen as limited to one musical style.

Grohl described becoming emotional when considering time away from what matters to him, saying he could not imagine singing the song before a large audience because it would be “too much”. The article notes that ‘Home’ closes an album otherwise dominated by louder rock material, and suggests the band could now potentially perform it with keyboardist Rami Jaffee, although Grohl has not indicated that he plans to do so.
