One man. Seven instruments. 23 minutes.
What’s better than one Dave Grohl?
Seven of them, apparently.
The Foo Fighters frontman has unveiled the most ambitious undertaking of his career to date, boasting a brand new 23-minute song.
As previously noted, Play is a short film in two parts, celebrating the rewards and challenges that come along with dedicating one’s life to playing and mastering a musical instrument.
Part one opens with narrated behind the scenes footage featuring discussion of the love of playing music, while detailing the process of capturing a unique performance.
Part two, meanwhile, boasts the titular ‘Play’, an epic one-man-band instrumental track on which Grohl plays seven instruments, all live.
“Even now, as a 49-year-old man, I’m still trying to figure it out,” notes Grohl.
“It’s not something that you ever truly master. You’re always chasing the next challenge, and you’re always trying to find a way to improve on what you’ve learned.”
