One By One es un álbum de Foo Fighters, publicado en 2002 por RCA. El disco incluye 11 canciones, entre ellas «All My Life», «Low», «Have It All» y «Times Like These».
Introducción: renacimiento a través del Rock
"One by One" es el cuarto álbum de estudio de Foo Fighters y su trabajo más pesado y directo hasta ese momento. Lanzado en 2002, el álbum nació de un período de gran tensión interna, con la banda al borde de la separación. Después de desechar una primera versión del disco que costó un millón de dólares, la banda se reagrupó y regrabó el álbum completo en solo dos semanas en el estudio de Dave Grohl en Virginia. El resultado es un sonido de hard rock crudo y sin adornos, con un enfoque en los riffs potentes y la energía del directo.
Pese a que el propio Grohl lo ha descrito como uno de sus trabajos menos favoritos, "One by One" contiene dos de las canciones más importantes y queridas de la banda: "All My Life" y "Times Like These". El álbum ganó el Grammy al Mejor Álbum de Rock, el segundo consecutivo para la banda.
Cómo se grabó
Las sesiones iniciales para el álbum, conocidas como las "Million Dollar Demos", fueron frustrantes y carentes de inspiración. La banda se tomó un descanso, durante el cual Dave Grohl se unió a Queens of the Stone Age para grabar el álbum "Songs for the Deaf". Esta experiencia revitalizó a Grohl y, tras una tensa reunión en el festival de Coachella, la banda decidió darse una última oportunidad, regrabando el álbum desde cero con un sonido mucho más crudo y enérgico.
Análisis de canciones
"All My Life": Un tema de hard rock explosivo y sexualmente cargado que se convirtió en un himno de rock moderno y un pilar de sus conciertos. Ganó el Grammy a la Mejor Interpretación de Hard Rock.
"Times Like These": Escrita durante el período de incertidumbre de la banda, es una de sus canciones más emotivas y poderosas. La letra sobre el aprendizaje y el renacimiento en tiempos difíciles ha resonado con millones de personas, convirtiéndose en un himno de resiliencia.
Resultados comerciales y críticos
"One by One" fue un gran éxito comercial. Debutó en el número 1 en el Reino Unido y en el puesto 3 en Estados Unidos. A pesar del éxito y el Grammy, la recepción crítica fue más mixta, con algunos elogiando su energía y otros criticando su falta de la variedad melódica de sus trabajos anteriores.

Letra
You're my size I need to try you on Someone in between the right and wrong Through everything you kept your wings apart Through everything you stayed the same old art And when I've had enough She drains me When I'm empty She fills herself She takes it all In too deep She's spilling over me In too deep She's spilling over me Go on and have it all Winding through this maze you hold me in Searching all these days to find the end You're everything, you're everything I'm not I'm anything I'm anyone you want And when I've had enough She drains me When I'm empty She fills herself She takes it all In too deep She's spilling over me In too deep She's spilling over me Go on and have it all Have it all (x2) You're everything you're everything I'm not I'm anything I'm anyone you want She drains me When I'm empty She fills herself She takes it all In too deep She's spilling over me In too deep She's spilling over me In too deep She's spilling over me In too deep She's spilling over me Have it all - Times Like These4:26I am a one way motorway I'm the one that drives away Then follows you back home I am a street light shining I'm a wild light blinding bright Burning off alone It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again I am a new day rising I'm a brand new sky To hang the stars upon tonight I am a little divided Do I stay or run away And leave it all behind? It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again

Letra
Sing me yours, I'll sing you mine Sing with me now what's a boy to do? What's a boy to do? Sing along for yesterday Sing along my soul today Sing along another song for you What's a boy to do? Chorus: I may be scattered A little shattered What does it matter No one has a fit like I do I may be scattered A little shattered What does it matter? No one has a fit like I do I'm the only one that's fits you Whispering to pass the time Whisper for the days gone by Whisper with the voice inside of you With this ring you will be mine With this ring I'll multiply With this ring surrendering to you What's a boy to do? - Tired Of You5:11

Letra
Good and bad I swear I've had them both They're overrated But is it fun When you get hold of one Some grow bad And some grow back Good ones all get taken I'm calling blood You ain't strong enough Wait and pray You'll pick on me The day I raise my hand Guess that I've been blessed But I'll be damned Halo God only knows Right behind me everywhere I go Halo God only knows Right behind me everywhere I go Say your prayers when you get scared Pray you're gonna make it And then when you're done You keep fucking up One day soon I'll disappear And if you'll come I'll take you somewhere to go To keep from growing old Wait and pray You'll pick on me The day I raise my hand Guess that I've been blessed But I'll be damned Halo God only knows Right behind me everywhere I go Halo God only knows Right behind me everywhere I go Oh Oh Oh Disappear The light is fading Disappear Outside their range Disappear I'm tired of waiting Disappear Before we fade away Halo God only knows Right behind me everywhere I go Halo God only knows Right behind me everywhere I go Oh Oh Oh - Lonely As You4:37

Coming down I'm coming round This time I think I'm waking up Give me loud to drown it out Before the world starts breaking up You change and then you change again Turning like a wheel inside your head Yours and mine and left and right There's still two sides to everyone You and I get on with life And pray we'll find a better one You change and then you change again Turning like a wheel inside your head Overdrive we're going life or death Overdrive we're going life or death Overdrive we're going life or death Two strangers on the mend Hurry now we're getting out This time there's nothing stopping us Leave behind this vacant town Tonight and let it turn to rust You change and then you change again Turning like a wheel inside your head Overdrive we're going life or death Overdrive we're going life or death Overdrive we're going life or death Two strangers, no relation, on the mend You change and then you change again Turning like a wheel inside your head Coming down I'm coming round This time I think I'm waking up Give me loud to drown it out Before the world starts breaking up You change and then you change again Turning like a wheel inside your head Overdrive we're going life or death Overdrive we're going life or death Overdrive we're going life or death Two strangers on the mend Overdrive we're going life or death (Overdrive we're going life or death) Overdrive we're going life or death (Overdrive we're going life or death) Overdrive we're going life or death Two strangers, no relation Two strangers, no relation, on the mend - Burn Away4:58
Letra
I have spent a lifetime Waiting for the chance To save you my confession Save the one last dance The same old superstition Haunt us now and then I'm begging for ignition To start it all again We'll burn away Burn away, burn away my pride We'll burn away Burn away, burn away my pride We'll burn away from all the other flames that burn tonight We'll burn away Burn away, burn away my pride Breathe for me from now on Breathe for me when I'm gone Burn out beyond Out beyond the sun Will you still remember There behind the skies Walking on the embers Standing in their light The hardest part is knowing Everything must die The hardest part is waiting here Waiting to collide We'll burn away Burn away, burn away my pride We'll burn away Burn away, burn away my pride We'll burn away from all the other flames that burn tonight We'll burn away Burn away, burn away my pride Breathe for me from now on Breathe for me when I'm gone Burn out beyond Out beyond the sun Burn on, burn on Calling to you Burn on, burn on Calling to you Burn on, burn on... I'll never burn again Never burn again [x3] We'll never burn again Never burn again [x3] - Come Back7:51
