Foo Fighters - Aurora

[PanophobiaOnFire]

This song makes me so nostalgic.

[easyshakespeare]

I love this band. I thank my parents for raising me listening to this.

[Wilco362]

Yeah, but it's also a great song in the dog days of humid flat Florida, circa 2000.

[TheJonyGD]

my mum's name is Aurora =)

[Coldplayistheshiot09]

i love this song. childhood track

[jbredewa]

I just kind of died for you.... You just kind of stared at me...

[Rapidfire8]

why can't my friends want to chill with some beers and listen to this song. last half of this album is truely special.

[ThePjlion44]

The best time to listen to this album is after there is a big snow storm and everything in sight is covered in snow and its a beautiful scene around you. Get in your car and listen to full cd. drive around and look at the beautiful scenery around you with this beautiful record. Particularly Aurora, Headwires, Next Year, M.I.A and Aint It The Life. They blend perfectly together and its something special that you will never forget

[weezerfootie]

@ThePjlion44 id thumbs up twice if i could, feeling that mate! :)

[negativewierdo]

@ThePjlion44 I smiled reading this comment. thanks for the image :)

[Covosi77]

@ThePjlion44

Sadly in Perú it doesn't snow, the best time to listen this album is always.

[Volyu]

I bought this album when I was 14 years old, it was one of my first purchases. I bought it for the hits I'd heard on the radio but as time wore on I gravitated toward Generator, Ain't it the Life and Aurora. I used to turn on my CD player, put on headphones and play this song in the dark, daydreaming to the crescendo. Aurora will always be my favorite Foo Fighters song.

[TheDarkAngelsCry]

wow they made a song with my name:D

[ilan134]

@TheDarkAngelsCry

no , your parents choose that name after they heard that song

[negativewierdo]

@TheDarkAngelsCry what? I thought Aurora was a place

[ouremoghettolife]

hehe Aurora's my name :3

[TopHatTRex]

@ouremoghettolife Nice name.

[killaurora]

@swedish89 It's just something i put ;)

[tmtibimate]

Perfect song with the greatist ending I ever heard!

[killaurora]

@swedish89 What are you asking? what's my First Name?

[killaurora]

i love my middle name :)

[DieHardGardenFan]

This is one of those songs I'll be listening to when I'm older, remembering the awesome years of my life that I'm living now :)

[nadezhda730]

i listen to this at night to fall asleep :) it's so pretty, like TheHedgehogss said, both lyrically and musically, I can't help but love it

[NoNoteMusician]

love this song i saw FF back in 1999 in concert they rocked !

[seaniekay]

had cobain not blew his head we would never probably have had this and all the other foo classics. thats pretty fucked up

[arturocruz09]

dave grohl said this is probably the best song they have wriitten up till today.

[rjohanlibra]

FF is the best still!!!! i grew up in the early 80s and start listening to FF since i was way younger... for those who are in line with the generation that i was bred in... this is the song that reminds us of our teenage glories!!!!! Gen X rocks!!!!!

[alexander84rugg]

sooth this hangover foo fighters, ahhhhhhhh thank you..

[Moniles]

This is no normal song, it´s a cosmic melody!

[tomwasko]

Dave once said that this is his favorite Foo's song. Read that in a interview somewhere.

[ImPureRockk]

Someone told me Fall out Boy better than Foo Fighters

I said Are you Human or Just a Complete Dumbass! lol

[sweetsound551]

@ImPureRockk that fucktard needs to check into an insane asylum. 

[shalomshushan]

this album came out when i was a freshman in high school and that year i went to my first real concert- the foo fighters and red hot chili peppers (went to see the foos mainly) and this was one of my favorites...haven't heard it in a while..beautiful

[gdub19777]

THE FOO MUST GO ON

[lalaloveproductions]

This is definitely one of my favorite albums of all time.

[MrBobault360]

Must be the best from FF

[historybowler]

@MrBobault360 For it's a tie between this and TCATS

[RoaRii]

yay :)

this is my name!

[bbusl]

Ultra Talented in all four corners........ an awsome sense of melody without ever being cheesy....!!.. Bands like this get overlooked, kind of....."Not edgy enough"...!!!!! but bands like this dont come along that often..!!!

[seq43]

love this song, my daughter's name is Aurora

[1023bry]

Hands down, my favorite Foo Fighters song ever!

[OctavariousArts]

This album and Ghosts I-IV by Nine Inch Nails are the only ones I can listen to with nothing else, just sitting in a dark room, and have a pure emotional experience unlike any other I've ever had. I do it every week.

[csnj909]

I remember being a little kid and first hearing this song. Its what got me into them more then I had already been and its funny cuz this song isnt really known by almost anyone I know. I get a nastalgic feeling hearing this and remembering all the better times Ive had hearing this song surrounded by friends or just anyone I care about Foo Fighters are one of the best in my book

[Kperson123]

This is their best song and not enough people realise it sadly.

[DieHardGardenFan]

Just for a second, sit down, turn everything in the room off, close your eyes and play this song. I guarantee you'll never forget that moment.

[OctavariousArts]

@DieHardGardenFan I know, it's an incredible experience, the first time, I cried.

[wonderandwhisper]

@DieHardGardenFan you can do that with a thousand songs!

[coolkazza888]

lol the other day, my freind said to me "hey, do you remember that foo song "aurora"?". i replied with "Heeeeelllll yeeaaaah i remember auroraaaa!!!" lol absolutely beutiful song

[TRuudern]

One of my favorite songs at the moment :) Really love Dave's work in all his projects. Scream, Nirvana, Foo, TCV :) He is really one of the greatest modern rock musicians!

[csnj909]

@TRuudern you should check out his other older bands like probot and when he played for queens of the stoneage

[TRuudern]

@csnj909 Yeah! Really love Songs for the Deaf. Great album! :)

I'll be sure to check out probot too! Thanks for the tip! :)

[samprobear]

@TRuudern HELL YES. LISTEN TO PROBOT. they're really awesome.

[hawknasty1001]

@jackster975 i understand exactly what you mean, their music helps me sleep at night

[lelo04]

this song is epic, love it always

[rndmfreAk]

now this is music!! Foo Fighters at their best! songwise i mean...and my opinion of course...

[bullitt92]

I'm starting to think this song might be one of the best they've ever wrote..

[SkylinexBleedsxRed]

Great guitars. <3

[dablues76]

I was going through some old cds and found this album. I forgot how good it was! Been playing it for the last week. Definately one of my favourate foo fighters songs.love it!!

[auroral]

lol gosh, reminds me of how I was in the 90's. My name is Aurora too!

[Thearmsman]

@auroral I love you:P wanna get married?

[Accipigna]

one of the best foo songs. I will always love it.

[ToshiBecca]

Found this in a random google search. Wanted to know if anyone had a song called aurora. I saw the lyrics and just had to listen. I love Everlong to pieces and now this. I want to get married to a foo fighters' song, it's settled.

[argbarb8]

when i discovered this song i could not believe i hadnt heard it before.. more ppl need to know this song!!!

so good :D

[roxizel]

Love this song :D so pretty and happy sounding

[jesviagelvis]

Excelente pieza!!!

[FOOFlGHTERS]

Amazing song :)

[ICantComeUpWithAName]

Beautiful song.

[dragoniguana]

This and MIA are my favorite songs. Foo Fighters \m/

[quiksilverlad]

This song is my summer time nostalgia. Love it.

[cantwait4payday]

This track is so under rated.Love it.

[rasputin33]

he's talking about Aurora Avenue in Seattle.

[3dgun]

I don't bother trying to figure out what the meanings are behind songs because it's dave who writes the lyrics and so only he knows what they are. they could be a blend of meanings. and people who listen to them get their own interpretations on what he's trying to say. I just listen to them because i find the songs sound cool.

[lebarbon]

Amaaaaaazing song!!!!!!!!!!

[TheAspergerman]

Maybe it is the most beautiful song(s) of the foo....About dreaming,about life and hope.Anyway........Take care all of you tube guys and girls.

[LightRosk]

About his grand mother.

[auro2890k]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!! BECAUSE MY NAME IS AURORA and my bf told me that this song relates to me in every way ^_^

[Masha013]

Totally love this song to peices it brings a tear to my eye nothing can describe the feeling it can give you. I think if I ever have a little girl i'd love to call her Aurora.

[nightshade322]

agreed =''')

[DeathRebel369]

love the opening

[AndyMan2006P]

happy birthday dave!

[paxfiat]

favorite foo fighters song... it truly is underrated. =|

[Austere4]

Dave Grohl called this song his favorite too, without hesitation. Pretty cool.

[TheIncuFooZelin]

the lyrics are so meaningful, I wonder why it isn't one of their hit.....hmmm....its so underrated.

[BinkyStalls]

I've introduced this song to family and friends...They all love it. Funny how this song is not more popular.

[chenalos]

I can't get over the lyric "I just kind of died for you. You just kind of stared at me."

[Sparta257]

Same here.

[bongripz541]

one of my favorites

[TheHedgehogss]

such a great song, and totally underrated.

its so pretty, lyrically and musically.

[paulsebastianTV]

@TheHedgehogss totally agree.

[skaler99]

Me and my girlfriends song. Wish they played this more on the radio.

[bjsc1991]

@skaler99

Request it to her. =)

[irishroverX]

A great song indeed. I always wondered if some of the lyrics in it are about kurt cobain.

[Wolfy808]

@irishroverX Dave actually wrote this song about the street he lived on with Kurt. When they lived together, they lived in an apartment on Aurora st. So it does relate to Kurt in a way.

[talflick]

most of his songs relate to Kurt somehow. it really screwed him up... it'd really screw anyone up.

[NinjaAssassinX5]

actually you're wrong there. Only 1, yes 1, Foo Fighter song is about Kurt Cobain, and that's "Friend of a Friend"

This song is both: A) a love song and B) about nostalgia, because Dave Grohl used to live on a street called Aurora. Some people think its about the good times he had there. Personally, this song is definitely in the top 10 and to tell the truth, It relates to my life right now in so many ways

[Mclenz]

lol they really don't he talks about it in an interview, he sites Friend of a Friend about Kurt but when on saying "I'm 40! I've had other people die in my life!"

[hhhseanhbk]

One of the Foo Fighters most underrated songs.

[ericmeloman86]

finally i found this song!! ive been looking for this for a long time but didnt realize it was on this album!! Love it!!

[TheLukeMaxfield]

i love this song. it reminds me of rise against this by seether

[bbphobia134]

dood, its rise above this by seether.

and dont even compare foo fighters to seether, they're not even in the same playing field. Foo Forever

[Plagueridden]

Completely disagreed.

[Virtue7]

damm right

[cashmunskies182]

dude fucking agreed haha just dave grohl has more talent than all of seether put together i dont see any of the dudes from seether playing in a band with John Paul Jones! need i say more?

[viperx68]

it is rise above this and I love that song. I will agree that foo fighters are way above them but Im warming up to this song

[dor1t0m4n]

i think you mean rise above this by seether

[RiCh123xD]

@TheLukeMaxfield what did it say?

[bongomatix]

like...

nevermind

[TheComickguy]

this song blows my mind.

[kpanneton1]

First song I listen to whenever I am feeling remotely down. It's just so beautiful. Foo Fighters are amazing.

[duct54]

seen the foo's twice and still not heard this live,need this to happen...

[the1qfactor]

Amazing song....

[aconbr]

I just became the ultimate FF fan!! They sang a song to me and as a musician-I loved it!!!W/Love~Aurora;)

[0121ryanh117]

try foo fightters song still and how i miss you, also, razor. davbe grohls music is beautifull

[TangalangaOficial]

Awsome!!! Great Band !!

[courtneylovely94]

I would like to have the FF tattoo done,but I think my parents were against it :(

(sry for my bad english)

[Apemopo]

i think this song is absolutely great! It's not exactly "Bohemian Rhapsody good" or anything like that but magnificient still.

[dbvideoinc]

@Apemopo Its hard to beat the greatest song ever written. This is a very good song though.

[bbusl]

Ultra Talented in all four corners........ an awsome sense of melody without ever being cheesy....!!.. Bands like this get overlooked, kind of....."Not edgy enough"...!!!!! but bands like this dont come along that often..!!!

[flockofseguls]

Godamn, that'sbeautiful..

[WGMDelko]

Years back,listening to this late night/week night. chilling old school with no internet and no care in the world. Just me, Foos and my room.

[agolakchub]

@WGMDelko Fantastic comment, definitely did the same back in the day

[jackster975]

@WGMDelko im only 17 and ever since i was born Foo Fighters have been my favorite band my parents used to only be able to put me to sleep with Foos, i know those nights your talking about, i also enjoy the sitting at a bon fire listening to the whole Skin and Bones album over and over, or even disk two of In Your Honor, so i feel ya man

[Nd179]

@WGMDelko Those were the days!!!

[giudicegustavo]

simply the best....the best band ever...awsome !!!1

[Chiboy00]

I think this is their best album!

[bigdipper000]

5:00 untill the end is the best musical correlation ever.. if you have a system with bass and treble turn it up

[Thearmsman]

@bigdipper000 I am going to do that today.. going to test my new system with Aurora:P

[noreeneeron]

@bigdipper000 i agree!

[aurolemus]

i've never heard this song..

my name is aurora by the way..

i think this is now my favorite =D

[teake711]

haha so is mine(:

[iloveaidanheinz]

My favorite son by them. When they came to Pittsburgh, the last song they played they said "this is for our real fans that have been us from the beginning" and they played THIS SONG....i had a heart attack. it was the best!

[derekd11]

I think this is their best song and epitomizes their sound as a band. In additon I think this is by far the Foo Fighters best album and I never cease to find something new and spectacular about it each timeI listen to it.........

[kaoruthescenekid]

"i just kinda died for you, you just kinda started right through" love that line. reminds me of the girl ive had a crush on for about 4 years now, she knows i like her, but just wants to be my freinds. lol and kinda ignores the romanitc stuff i do for her. hehehe i kinda make it a game now inside joke between us

[monthesheep]

Just get another one kaoruthescenekid! Life's too short for waiting for one girl! Life is not a dress rehearsal!!

[kaoruthescenekid]

hehe, ive heard that some where life is not a dress rehearsal, i wanna say a coldplay song. hehe im sorry if im wrong and you came up with it

[monthesheep]

lol na i plagiarised it! michael caine said it first! ha ha!! wise words tho!! don't you worry mate, it will all work out in the end!

[xXxkimmyjxXx]

Life is not a dress rehearsal....sounds familiar.

[rufusdisturbed]

The line is, "I just kinda died for you, you just kinda stared at me"

And yes, this is one of the best songs ever. Regardless of the band.

[bigdipper000]

what because the best band and the best song together isnt good enough..... dont say anything about disturbed there in it for money now not the art.

[rufusdisturbed]

Not what I meant. I am a massive FF fan. I'm just saying that even non FF fans should be able to appreciate this song.

[Redd094]

Um, no, they aren't in it just for the money. Why? Because their first album was just as popular as their latest and sold just as much. They didn't need to change a thing to make money. They changed because they became more skilled and also artists like to try new things.

[daJodge]

I'm pretty sure that's not right. The Foo Fighters are more popular now than they've ever been, and are certainly selling more records than they did in '95. I would say part of their change has come from becoming more adept musicians, but the other part is from a lack of creative originality that plagues most bands that last as long as they have.

[mikey9003]

one of my fav ff song and one of their best songs of their band's career i think!!

[CarlosPerseverante]

Así es no eres el único en escribir en español, Foo Fighters es mi banda favorita, y estoy totalmente de acuerdo respecto a las bandas de hoy, a mi en lo personal me gusta más la música Noventera creo que ha sido una de las mejores décadas para la música

[zwans1979]

loooooooooooooooove dis song.....

[TheGreatDukey]

to think that the drummer from nirvana became something more to me than nirvana itself.......crazy i cant believe that Dave Grohl has such an amazing talent for playing and writing music i wish i had that.......

[pleasetypehereplease]

Amen

[LoKKENDALen]

i love the ''on 'n' on'' part of this song

[Sleepgarden]

I'm not much of a singer but I can't do the entire thing without running out of breath, wonder how he did it

[LoKKENDALen]

yep.same with me :)

[punkrockfan182]

just think about the verse in monkeywrench.... thats even more full on too!

[bigdipper000]

i hate monkey wrench idk why

[punkrockfan182]

i dont know why i got 3 down's for my comment! have people not heard monkeywrench? that verse that starts "one last thing before i quit i never wanted any more than i could fit into my head"

[StacktActor]

Probablly my fav Foo song.

[svenska2000]

oohh pretty son , die for you ...we can do heyy ya aurora yo are my sweetsky take me now!

[BinkyStalls]

I hope she still listens to this song!

[ace0821]

[LOTDASC]

[YoakeNoUsagi]

My name is Aurora too, and my mum calls me Rory too. X.x It gets on my nerves though.

Rory means red-haired king. xD

[SweetaRoxious]

FF is my fave Rock band!! Or can I say legendary rock band? Anyways they ROCK!!

[hexumnick]

[spamthewow]
