Foo Fighters – My Hero (Official HD Video)

After Kurt Cobain passed away in 1994, Dave Grohl, who had played drums in Nirvana, completed the songs he had been secretly working on almost entirely by himself and returned to the scene the following year as Foo Fighters.

They went on to become one of the defining American rock bands, and here we introduce a classic track from their breakthrough second album, The Colour and the Shape, released in 1997.

It opens with tight drumming and explodes into a dramatic, emotional melody—an affecting song that, interestingly, has been a favorite cover choice for emo bands since the 2000s.

As for who the “hero” in question refers to… if you’re curious, be sure to look into it!

WalkFoo Fighters5rank/position

Foo Fighters. Walk.

It’s a cool song about how, despite everything life throws at you, you decide to be honest with yourself, try doing what you love, and start walking forward on your own two feet again.

The shouted parts in the chorus feel incredibly cathartic and are just wonderful.

It’s one of the greatest of the greats among Foo Fighters’ songs.
