"'These Days'" is the fourth single, (fifth in the United Kingdom), from the American rock band Foo Fighters' seventh studio album 'Wasting Light'. It was written by Dave Grohl and co-produced by Butch Vig. Dave Grohl has stated that it is his favorite song that he has ever written. On August 18, 2012, the Foo Fighters performed "These Days" at Pukkelpop, as a tribute to the people who either died or were injured there a year earlier, due to a violent thunderstorm that raged over the festival grounds.
