"Stranger Things Have Happened" - Foo Fighters

Dave Grohl
I can always appreciate when a hard rock artist like Dave Grohl, (Lead singer of the Foo Fighters) slows it down for a ballad.  Who would have ever thought that the punk-ass drummer kid from Nirvana would go on to become such a talented and respected musician. 

Relationships Suck
In "Stranger Things Have Happened" Grohl sings about something everyone has experienced - a bad relationship.  The funny thing about a bad relationship is that it can make you feel lonelier than if you were by yourself.  I've always thought it's better to be alone than to be with someone that doesn't understand, or tries to change you, "I can change, I can change, I can change, But who do you want me to be? I'm reminded of lyrics from Arcade Fire's - "Ready to Start", "I would rather be alone, Than pretend I feel alright."
