“Saint Cecilia” by Foo Fighters

"Saint Cecilia" is the title track of the free EP Foo Fighters handed out in November 2015, dedicated to the victims of that month's Paris attacks. They cut it in a hotel, and its sweetest moment came by pure luck: Ben Kweller happened to be passing, walked into Dave Grohl's room while vocals and guitars were going down, heard the latest vocal take and fell straight into a harmony. That's him on the backing vocal.

All six players share the writing credit. Grohl sings lead and plays guitar and percussion, Chris Shiflett and Pat Smear add guitars, Nate Mendel plays bass, Taylor Hawkins drums and Rami Jaffee keys. Kevin Szymanski recorded it and James Brown mixed. Released as a single, it went on to reach number three on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart in 2016.
