{"product_id":"the_glass","title":"The Glass","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Glass is a double A‑side single release featuring two versions of the same song: a reinterpretation by H.E.R. and the original by Foo Fighters. Foo Fighters first released “The Glass” on their 2023 album But Here We Are, a project written in the wake of drummer Taylor Hawkins’ death, with Dave Grohl handling drum duties; H.E.R. later performed the song with the band on Saturday Night Live and then recorded her own studio rendition. In November 2023, the two versions were issued together as a digital and 7‑inch double A‑side: H.E.R.’s delicate, guitar‑driven take appears as the A‑side, with Foo Fighters’ album version on the flip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThematically, both versions of “The Glass” revolve around grief, absence, and emotional distance, using the image of standing on one side of a pane of glass—seeing someone clearly but being unable to reach them—as a metaphor for lost love and loved ones. The Foo Fighters’ rendition frames these lyrics in a sweeping rock ballad with layered guitars and a soaring vocal from Grohl, echoing the broader cathartic tone of But Here We Are. H.E.R.’s version strips the song down to a more intimate R\u0026amp;B\/neo‑soul palette, emphasizing her vocals and guitar to “extract new sonic and emotional layers” from the original, as one press release put it. Together, the paired recordings function less like a traditional album and more like a focused collaborative project that highlights how a single song can shift meaning and feel when filtered through rock and R\u0026amp;B sensibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Record Store","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl \/ Album - Indie Excl. 7\" Vinyl Single","offer_id":53675375231290,"sku":"38855","price":14.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/2041\/0682\/files\/Screenshot_2026-07-02_at_7.42.39_PM.jpeg?v=1783035910","url":"https:\/\/recordstore.ca\/products\/the_glass","provider":"Record Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
