Click to listen to Waters' 'For the One'

After Van Pierszalowski's band, Port O'Brien, broke up last year, Pierszalowski moved to Oslo craving space – but he ultimately embarked on a world journey that culminated in the creation of his new project, Waters. During his travels, Pierszalowski wrote very raw and thought-out songs, which he recorded with a band upon his return to Oslo. Pierszalowski describes Waters' first track, the low-fi and incredibly catchy "For the One," as his "favorite song I've ever written. Usually I would feel bad for the other songs in saying that, but not with this one." Pierszalowski explains to Rolling Stone that "For the One" "sums up all of 'Out in the Light' and everything I've gone through over the last couple years."

Waters' debut "Out in the Light" hits stores on September 20th, but you can download "For the One" for free here.

“The Pretender”

Foo Fighters | 2007

This song wasn't part of the planned track listing for 2007's Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace, and was put together in a day. "It happened after we recorded a lot of stuff," said Dave Grohl. Yet it ended up as the album opener and the lead single. Grohl called it "a stomping Foo Fighters uptempo song with a little bit of Chuck Berry in it." The singer hinted at the lyrics' political overtones: "Everyone's been f---ed over before and I think a lot of people feel f---ed over right now and they're not getting what they were promised."
