Watch Foo Fighters reel back the years and revisit old haunts in the trippy video for emotional epic The Teacher

Foo Fighters will release their much anticipated 11th album, But Here We Are, on June 2, and Dave Grohl’s band have offered another preview of what’s to come with the release of a trippy video for one of the album’s most emotional tracks, The Teacher.

Dedicated to the memory of the band’s late, much-loved drummer Taylor Hawkins, and Dave Grohl’s mother Virginia, But Here We Are is described as «a defiant, emotional roar in the face of loss» by Metal Hammer, and «a cathartic tribute to a fallen friend» by Classic Rock.

Featuring lyrics such as «You showed me how to breathe, but never showed me how to say goodbye«, The Teacher is arguably the album’s most emotional tribute to Virginia Grohl, and the video for the song offers an impressionistic documentation of her beloved son’s musical journey from Virginia youth centres and the streets of Georgetown, Washington DC to the stages of the world’s biggest music festivals.

Foo Fighters have previously shared videos for Rescued, Under You and Show Me How, which features Violet Grohl. They also debuted new song Nothing At All at their first headline show since Taylor Hawkins‘ passing, at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, NH last week, May 24.
