'The Line' pairs a signature FOO FIGHTERS propulsive melody with an urgent heartfelt lyric and rousing chorus described by composer Dave Grohl as "a search for hope in this day and age where you feel as if you're fighting for your life with every passing moment, and everything is on the line."

 

'The Line' is the third of 'Concrete And Gold''s eleven songs to be unveiled ahead of the album's impending arrival, the second being 'The Sky Is A Neighborhood', visually realized as a Grohl-directed kaleidoscopic sci-fi mini-epic as massive as the slow burning rock anthem that gave it life - one of the most striking entries of the FOO FIGHTERS' video canon, and the first one to score the band coverage on Space.com. The run-up to 'Concrete And Gold' began just as auspiciously, with the June 1 surprise release of the Billboard Mainstream Rock #1 smash 'Run'. With more than two million YouTube views in its first twenty-four hours, 'Run' rocketed into the Top 5 of the iTunes video chart and the top Top 15 iTunes singles chart — quickly amassing the highest first-day numbers of any single in the FOO FIGHTERS' career.

'Concrete And Gold' was written and performed by FOO FIGHTERS, produced by Greg Kurstin and FOO FIGHTERS, and mixed by Darrell Thorp.
