Violet Grohl has released “What’s Heaven Without You,” a song inspired by surrealist filmmaker David Lynch. The release marks Lynch’s birthday, who passed away last year at 78, just a few days ahead of his birthday.
“This song was written in his memory alongside two of my favorite collaborators in the world, Persia Numan and Justin Raisen,” Grohl says. “A few days after the chaos and devastation of the LA fires, we came together in our sadness and grief and let it pour out into this song. We hope you can find some resonance in it. The impact he left on art is truly magical. We miss you, David.”

Written in the aftermath of the LA fires early last year, “What’s Heaven Without You” shows Grohl’s voice drifting over an enigmatic instrumental as she grapples with an internal monologue, feeling trapped between devotion and self-protection.
“What’s Heaven Without You” follows the release of “THUM” and “Applefish,” both of which are available to purchase on seven-inch vinyl on Grohl’s Bandcamp. Listen to “What’s Heaven Without You” below.
