Middled aged man here huge dave grohl fan. But dang i need to listen to the radio more. Never realized how much new unique voices/talent is out there. Super cool.
Yeah, honestly, the amount of great singers who have come out in the last year or 2 is astonishing. I probably gave up listening to "pop" about 5-10 years ago but really getting back into listening to Radio 1 again. I think they had a wake up call a few years ago when Radio 2 audience beat them. They seem to have put more effort into finding and encouraging British talent. Really cool :)
Sometimes it takes listening to the tracks that aren't singles. Haven't fallen in love with any new rock bands in the past 10 years other than Royal Blood, but after initially dismissing them out of hand I've found a lot of the pop singers my kids listen to are influenced a lot by the rock music I love and have some great songs. That being said, I am really hoping for a rock and roll resurgence. Are there any great new rock bands over the past 10 years that I have been missing?
Don’t listen to the radio. Explore Spotify, pandora, music radio, look up similar artists, dive into the back catalogue. You’ll find much more music that way, without as many ads :)
WOW..I'm almost 75, Forces Vet, been there, done that, and I sat there listening to this fantastic piece with tears in my eyes! Magical. Thank you folks.
dear sir I am a 39 yr old aussie. it doesn't matter what our age is music can heal. I am sitting here listening to it aswell with tears in my eyes. I am assuming you where in the Vietnam war so thankyou for your sacrifices in service.
Whether it’s 2020 or 2023, this recording was and will always be an epic one. Thank you to Dave Grohl and all the artists that lent their talents to soothe our hearts/minds; you gave us hope. I listen to this when I've had a rough day. It reminds me to hit the reset button and get back in touch with what is real; our humanity. Community, love, and a great song. It doesn't get better than that. 🥰
I’m my opinion, this cover was one of the worst. Most of there voices aren’t made for this. Some actually sounded really good like Jess Glynne but others sounded god awful
Came back to this video after hearing the news of Taylor’s passing. It’s almost unreal. Foo Fighters has inspired me more than any another band to play music. I started in 07. They were on top of world and remained there ever since. Thank you Taylor for all the great memories and tough times the music brought me through. May you Rest In Peace all time great 🦅

@@GaryFujiokaSr As a really old git (73) I still listen to Radio 1, so recognise some or most of the voices, however I really appreciated the names to faces.... Thanks Gary Much appreciated. T CAKES...... (My acronym for Take Care and Keep Extra Safe)!!!
Great song. Really done well. I heard on radio 1 that each artist sang the whole song and pieces were selected to make this track. That means there are 20 plus versions of this song and to be honest I'd love to listen to each one.. Hope they release them all one day
I love this song. 6 years ago I had a mini-stroke and I lost my ability to talk, read, spell & comprehend. It was a big pain in the ass. I never lost my ability to play the guitar but expression that I used to have when I play the guitar was gone. Going through speech therapy and getting back to talk it again and reading and spelling again was pretty hard but wanting to play the guitar again was even harder. One of my speech therapist forced me to pic a song learn it on the guitar and sing it. And this was the song I picked. Thank you Foo Fighters. Speech therapist are God sends!
Awesome story my friend. I play guitar, have done for 30 years, absolutely love it, although lately, I do not get enough time to do so. I recently learned My Hero and Learn To Fly, both by the Foos (obviously). Good luck to you in the future.
If anyone must cheat, cheat death . If anyone must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away every single precious moment you have together . What a precious privilege it is to love , to have someone in this world you do trust, and a real privilege to be able to grow old . No pain no gain) .
Nice! Glad to hear you're on the path to recovery. You're right, therapists, RNs, PNPs, and docs are great - my wife is a Pediatrician. She wears a splash guard, mask, and hazmat suit for 14 hours a day - her only complaint is that if she gets COVID she is worried that she might still give it to her little patients.... so when I see people complaining about wearing a mask for 15 minutes - I tend to get a little unhinged. But Im glad you're doing better. Edit: Sorry for ranting
I'm a man in his early 60s, and I loved this version, the mixing, the harmonies so very, very much. I spent a few minutes drying my eyes afterwards. Awesome work, and an awesome song. Thanks.
I'm 60 and I also had to dry the tears, all three times that I've listened to it. This version is so loving and hopeful. God bless all involved in creating this and a big thank you to Dave for writing this beautiful song.
42 here, lifelong metal fan. This was beautiful stuff, I'll hold this video near and dear forever. We are the world song for 2020..all genres coming together for one thing, and yes expertly shot and edited. Fantastic gift.
I'm a 46 year-old Canadian who grew up during the Grunge era and still worship Dave Grohl. I didn't know who any of these younger singers were, but now I love them all. Absolutely fucking brilliant.
Majority are British. Dermot Kennedy has a fantastic voice and he's from Dublin, Luke Hemmings is Australian, Mabel .. Swedish? (I think) and Sean Paul is Jamaican, and of course, Mr. Grohl is American.
This song was legendary when I first heard it, but now, now it is immortalised in history. With eyes filled with tears, thank you sincerely. Music really is the modern world magic.

The way this song has evolved over the years is something that I have never witnessed in 40 plus years of listening to music and following artists. A gift to all music lovers.
Just watching and listening to this brings up so much of my memories of uncertainty. Those were some weird times. Even now I feel like we aren’t quite back to normal pre pandemic.
@@Suitedup1111. The stunned look on Dave's face when Sean Paul starts singing gets me every time. They've taken it up to another level for me.. ATB Steve
Daves face through this is priceless! THIS is why Dave writes songs. So all the people will SING his songs with him. Dave wrote this song at a crossroads, and credits it for FOO FIGHTERS staying together. AND for that I Am GREATFUL
Especially when the rap portion starts. That little smile. I'm a dad. I know that look. And I really feel like it's the look of a dad who sees his kid grow up to be something totally unexpected, but totally beautiful. He's not a fan of HIS music. He just loves music in general and it obviously gave him a lot of joy to see where this thing went and what a huge departure it was from the original.
@@jimvoigt8354 You are so right! I caught that look as well. These are some incredibly great, younger artists that I have discovered through this video. Thank you Dave.
This song is an example of how everyone came together no matter the difference in their style of music, their race, beliefs, etc and made the world a better place during the pandemic. It gave me hope and still does.The vocal and instrument arrangement is amazing and this video production broke through many barriers for upcoming independent artists. Thank you to the artists that made this song come to life.
No kind sir you are not, I genuinely had tears running down my face driving during work tonight when I heard this on Steve Wright for the first time today, sensational song and amazing feel good vibe. Totally overcome with emotion listening to it, it's good to cry, enjoy it mate, peace.
Sadie Starts Again Yah such a lovely thought... but I dunno that this kind of magic can ever be recreated- is special and unique and impactful because of the beauty of everyone’s individual isolation all intertwined and brought together with magnificent engineering and editing. But totally get the sentiment ✌🏼💜☮️

Crazy huh? I have no idea who most of these artists are but going by comments they have legions of fans, all of them. But even if you don't know them, you don't really have to. Their voices are beautiful, the arrangement that the video and audio guys made is absolutely perfect and yes I watch this every few days for sure. It's a treasure, a gift to the world deff.
This hits different these days. Every now & then I come back to listen & remember. Feel these lyrics, whoever mixed this did an incredible job, a whole bunch of extremely talented singers/musicians, what a mixture of styles too. It's beautiful that Daves voice is still right there every time he's in the mix. Something that always sticks with me. To anyone that's having a hard time. Pressure makes diamonds ❤ RIP Taylor
What a fantastic track, so refreshing and uplifting in these difficult times. I am 60 years old and it is great to see young talented people like you come together a give joy with your amazing diverse voices. Power to you all, stay safe and push through.
I am really enjoying singing along with all the talented artists here and am discovering new ones to check out on UA-cam while we are in lockdown. I tend to stick with my favourite prog rock of the 1970s, but this has opened up a whole new world to me. Thanks to all of you.
The sound engineer(s) that dealt with this are sick! working with all that variation and bringing it together had to be the hardest part of this project ! congrats
I’m a musician and not a producer. I imagine it takes a lot of skill to mix all these vocal and instrument parts from so many different people and make it sound as good as it does. Shoutout to the producer, Fraser T Smith!
Dave Grohl: what a fearless, talented, humble, and true human being. A person who knows himself and has used his gifts to better this world. “What one can be one must be” Abraham Maslow.
This song is what kept me going during the pandemic as a nurse before I became too sick myself to work. I worked right through COVID. Dave Grohl you and all you amazing artists need to receive an award for best artist. Amazing, healing, sending out waves of love and strength. Thank you.
Hiya Jeanne, I love your comment, I do agree with it, as a key worker it was songs like this what kept people going. Would be amazing to speak with you. Would you be up for talking.
Here I am in November and I cannot listen to this song without tears in my eyes. Such a wonderous beautiful composition of a true classic song. Salute to the sound engineer and the video editor. - this is top notch, truly professional work.
Same as that. Listening to the murdered Oasis song and comparing to this, there is no comparison. This song really feels like they are all in it for the greater good. The Oasis song sounds like vocal gymnastics competing against each other. All for worthy causes and that is the main thing, just disappointed my favourite Oasis song was ruined. This cover though, just wow, I can't stop crying my heart out when I hear it 😊🥰
Dave's collaboration to gift us this song at the beginning of covid was a lifeline when the fear was so high.. May it again be a comfort to us now. Much love to the Foos and their families. Special prayers for Taylor's wife, son and daughters. ❤️🙏
Who doesn't get tired of listening to this ? Came at a time when the world was in turmoil and we didn't know what was going to happen to us all. We , the lucky ones , survived and this song will forever be a reminder that things do get better. Thank you Dave Grohl.
I’ve had the pleasure of practicing front line emergency medicine for 17 years for the NHS. I don’t cry. I’ve come close a few times. Sometimes I wish I could. Watching this brought me close, in an extremely heart felt, positive way. Thanks very much!
Made me cry but in the way you said ~ extremely heart felt & positive way. Thansk you for all that you do. We have always respected you guys but we are grateful beyond words. Aroha , Kia Kaha
David Brennan my little sister is working the frontline in London. We’re from Australia and she’s over in London doing her thing for your country. She’s a paramedic and ambulance driver. We are terribly worried being so far away from her. She, along with her boyfriend and flat mates are all frontline workers and they did catch COVID, but were A symptomatic due to being so fit. They knocked the virus on the head after quarantining for the mandatory 14 days and as soon as they got their third negative test, they went straight back out on the frontline. As I said we are extremely worried, but even more so than if it were me, as she only has one kidney and in some cases, even if you beat the virus, you may end up with 20-30% permanent vital organ damage. Luckily she walked away unscathed from her brush with it. I’m a man without faith, so I just keep my metaphorical fingers crossed that she keeps on kicking arse like she is and stays healthy and safe. ♥️
Just came back again for a visit and my god, it still holds up as an epic gathering of talent for an exceptional choon. Just pure class all round. 10/10 would go into lockdown again to get it!!!! hahaha!!
I cried tears of joy for the first time in a long time. Dave Grohl, you wrote an absolutely beautiful song and I am so glad that this collaboration exists. To all artists that contributed, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
I LOVE LOVE this performance. Even now, listening to it now in 2023, I recall discovering this in the beginning of 2020, and tear up. SUCH a fantastic song.... I was TERRIFIED and didn't know what to do with myself like most of us. Thank you to all involved who put a shape on such an undefinable raw REAL visceral scared emotion. The arts truly keep humanity alive.
Idk how you didn't know of thisbefore unless you just mean the performance, but glad you found it. Ps another amazing one is Florence performing it at Glastonbury after they covered for foo after gave broke his leg being a dumb as crazy rock star, real chills
Completely agree, you said it perfectly. I still tear up now at the power of the emotions and whilst my mind has largely blocked out 2020 this brings me right back to the fear, uncertainty and dread. But equally the hope and happiness that music gave us and still does!
I love how positive Dave Grohl is. When the rap starts he's just smiling. He's like what a interesting change. He always smiles and gives a lot of energy during a concert. In my humble opinion he is just the most likeable artist in the world. You can hate his music, but you can't hate Grohl. Grohl always puts a smile on my face at least.
You can easily do this in a home studio lol. Times have changed, you do t need a professional studio anymore to sound like a star. Everyone can do it with a bit of practice and the right software.
16 months later, this still makes me cry. I will forever remember this version of the song as the theme song of the pandemic. I’m an old lady, so the only faces I recognize are Dave & Taylor, but it still means so much to me.
The greatness of it all is one thing - seeing all these amazing artists singing this amazing song with this humble kind of joy. The reactions from Dave (especially during the rap parts) - are another thing. Priceless
@KnoxTheBox So, just to clarify. You as a star seed come from a star that is not a star but is just a light that is stuck to a dome that covers the flat earth?
@@robertmills6497 I'm wondering if I should be paying more attention to the gnats congregating in the light fixture above the dining room table. I mean, I don't know exactly where they come from, but it seems like a pretty popular destination. Have they all come to deliver a message? If so, it must be of some importance, as it appears to be a suicide mission 100% of the time.
For a period of a few months in 2020 I would watch this video almost daily... sometimes it was the only thing that helped me keep going. I still think it is one of the most beautiful collaborations ever made, up there with "Do they know it's Christmas" from 1984.
Regardless of singer, this is one of the most heartfelt, sincere, uplifting, beautiful, and inspiring rock songs ever written. THANK YOU to all these artists, and especially FOO FIGHTERS.
I also feel it translated in to quite a nice warm uplifting house track too: soundcloud.com/send-and-return/foo-fighters-times-like-these-send-returns-live-lounge-love
I'm a fan of Coldplay and even I think the Chris should've done a piano finisher (no singing) to accompany Dave on vocals to cap off the song's ending. Ohh well, what's done is done. Still damn good multi talented arrangement.
@@1987thedrums I think it's because Chris is very much about charity these days and hence I suspect that he's the one behind the entire montage in the first place. It was Chris who organised the Ariana Manchester concert, Chris who organised the #TogetherAtHome instagram COVID movement and he's headlined many Amnesty International events. He still supports the "love button" movement hence why he wears it publically at the time (even here). He's become a big figure amongst musicians due to these charity endeavours (think about all the connections needed to organise the Manchester One Love concert) and hence why he gets gigs such as the 50th superbowl halftime show. Given his repertoire with organising feel-good events in times of strife as well as his insane network with musicians, especially British musicians, it makes me believe he was the one who organised the piece of art you just enjoyed and THAT is why he's in the video. Just like Manchester, he doesn't do it to seek fame (he didn't perform much at Manchester even though he organised the event) and hence, it'd be just like him to sneak himself onto the very end of the montage. Also, hate him or like him, you can't deny he's one of Britains most awarded and successful musicians and hence he deserves his place here just like everyone else.
This is one of my favorite Foo songs and omg it's never made me this emotional 😭 something about it done this way wow the Foo and the lot of you will never cease to amaze!! Good day thats all for now. #I'm not crying you are
I was like: "Oh look, Foo Fighters singing together with all these young unknown talented people, so cute!" . . . Then I saw Chris Martin and realized they're all famous and I'm just old.
It's not often I cry at the beauty of a video...but times like these bring tears of joy and hope to my eyes. Thank you all for sharing the beauty of your craft.
Just listened to the cover of this on BBC Radio 1. Although I absolutely love the Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl is a music mastermind!), you can really hear what the lyrics are saying in a new way in this cover. This song & lyrics have just been elevated for me on a whole other level!
This will always be my Covid song. During the isolation, fear, mourning the loss of loved ones, this version of this song was my go-to. Thanks Dave for writing it, thanks to this wonderful group of artists for adding your soul and care in this version. Done April 23, 2020 - we had no idea how long it would last or how much it would change each of our lives and alter our global culture - but, together, we found out - It’s times like this you learn to live again. It’s times like these you give and give again. It’s times like these you learn to love again. It’s times like these, time and time again. We make it better together.
This is such an awesome version, I’ve heard the acoustic version of this song in the past, but in this version the finger style arpeggios (instead of the straight strumming) really add depth to the song’s vibe. Kudos to all the performers, the producer, and sound engineer. David Grohl willingness to share the spotlight is legend. Sean Paul’s contribution to a new middle eight was perfect. The whole collaborative result is brilliant.
I totally agree, too. I discovered it last week, and I can't stop watching it. The song's message is always an important one, and especially during the worldwide coronavirus shut-in (check the premier date). I hadn't heard of many of the young British artists, but they're all very good. In addition to the performers, the producer, the sound engineer, and Dave Grohl, I would like to add kudos to the arranger. He / she did a masterful job of assigning who sang what. As Tony Ronco said, this is just brilliant!
I've just watched this for the first time in 2024 !!!!! - Great and Awesome
Right?!
I listen 👂 to it everyday it's awesome
Came at a time in Britain when people were dying in their thousands due to Covid and govt ineptitude.People on the bottom of the ladder really suffered.THIS gave some Hope !

Thank you very much for doing this. Great job.

Thanks man you the man,, 😭😭
thank you!
Wow! Thanks
Thanks. I'm old and I don't know half of these people ;-)
legend! thank you for making this!
Middled aged man here huge dave grohl fan. But dang i need to listen to the radio more. Never realized how much new unique voices/talent is out there. Super cool.
Yeah, honestly, the amount of great singers who have come out in the last year or 2 is astonishing. I probably gave up listening to "pop" about 5-10 years ago but really getting back into listening to Radio 1 again. I think they had a wake up call a few years ago when Radio 2 audience beat them. They seem to have put more effort into finding and encouraging British talent. Really cool :)
The problem is these artists have great voices but waste them in generic, shitty pop songs with a fuck ton of autotune.
Sometimes it takes listening to the tracks that aren't singles. Haven't fallen in love with any new rock bands in the past 10 years other than Royal Blood, but after initially dismissing them out of hand I've found a lot of the pop singers my kids listen to are influenced a lot by the rock music I love and have some great songs.
That being said, I am really hoping for a rock and roll resurgence. Are there any great new rock bands over the past 10 years that I have been missing?
Don’t listen to the radio. Explore Spotify, pandora, music radio, look up similar artists, dive into the back catalogue. You’ll find much more music that way, without as many ads :)
No middle aged man would say that he is a middle-aged man.
WOW..I'm almost 75, Forces Vet, been there, done that, and I sat there listening to this fantastic piece with tears in my eyes! Magical. Thank you folks.
dear sir I am a 39 yr old aussie. it doesn't matter what our age is music can heal. I am sitting here listening to it aswell with tears in my eyes. I am assuming you where in the Vietnam war so thankyou for your sacrifices in service.
Thank you for your service sir
Thank you for your service Sir

Whether it’s 2020 or 2023, this recording was and will always be an epic one. Thank you to Dave Grohl and all the artists that lent their talents to soothe our hearts/minds; you gave us hope. I listen to this when I've had a rough day. It reminds me to hit the reset button and get back in touch with what is real; our humanity. Community, love, and a great song. It doesn't get better than that. 🥰
Agreed! Cheers to you 🙂
Believe it or not, a behind the scenes We Are The World video led me here
me too. on the dark days and there are many; this is hope
just amazing what we all dealt with. we should be proud. cant believe idiots watched matt hancock on tv justify it all.

This has to be one of the greatest covers of one of the greatest songs ever. Love love love.
Is it a cover if the Foo Fighters are involved?
@@MW-rn8eu Good question lol, then greatest collaboration of all time?
So true
I’m my opinion, this cover was one of the worst. Most of there voices aren’t made for this. Some actually sounded really good like Jess Glynne but others sounded god awful
Maybe you'll learn to love again! The best cover ever is Heart Stairway to Heaven at Kennedy Center Honors by far
Im here for EVERYONE of those wonderful artists
God bless them all and thank you.
They are extraordinary for making this song

Goosebumps. Every single time
Came back to this video after hearing the news of Taylor’s passing. It’s almost unreal. Foo Fighters has inspired me more than any another band to play music. I started in 07. They were on top of world and remained there ever since. Thank you Taylor for all the great memories and tough times the music brought me through. May you Rest In Peace all time great 🦅
I'm giving you a hug man. FF for life 🤘

Gary Fujioka Sr. Brilliant Thank you✌🏼
This song represents the feeling, fear and sadness of COVID times. Nice and beautiful song
Great song. Really done well. I heard on radio 1 that each artist sang the whole song and pieces were selected to make this track.
That means there are 20 plus versions of this song and to be honest I'd love to listen to each one.. Hope they release them all one day
I NEED Dermots version
Really? Yeahhh please 😍😍
Really want to hear Rag ‘n’ Bone Man’s version
To hear them all would be amazing.
Please do this BBC!
I love this song. 6 years ago I had a mini-stroke and I lost my ability to talk, read, spell & comprehend. It was a big pain in the ass. I never lost my ability to play the guitar but expression that I used to have when I play the guitar was gone. Going through speech therapy and getting back to talk it again and reading and spelling again was pretty hard but wanting to play the guitar again was even harder. One of my speech therapist forced me to pic a song learn it on the guitar and sing it. And this was the song I picked. Thank you Foo Fighters. Speech therapist are God sends!
Hope your doing better man ! Yes your so lucky 🍀. I hope you’ve found your groove again! ❤️❤️❤️🇨🇦
Awesome.
Awesome story my friend. I play guitar, have done for 30 years, absolutely love it, although lately, I do not get enough time to do so. I recently learned My Hero and Learn To Fly, both by the Foos (obviously). Good luck to you in the future.
If anyone must cheat, cheat death . If anyone must lie, lie in the arms of the one you love. If you must steal, steal away every single precious moment you have together .
What a precious privilege it is to love , to have someone in this world you do trust, and a real privilege to be able to grow old . No pain no gain) .
Nice! Glad to hear you're on the path to recovery. You're right, therapists, RNs, PNPs, and docs are great - my wife is a Pediatrician. She wears a splash guard, mask, and hazmat suit for 14 hours a day - her only complaint is that if she gets COVID she is worried that she might still give it to her little patients.... so when I see people complaining about wearing a mask for 15 minutes - I tend to get a little unhinged. But Im glad you're doing better.
Edit: Sorry for ranting
I'm a man in his early 60s, and I loved this version, the mixing, the harmonies so very, very much. I spent a few minutes drying my eyes afterwards. Awesome work, and an awesome song. Thanks.
I'm 60 and I also had to dry the tears, all three times that I've listened to it. This version is so loving and hopeful. God bless all involved in creating this and a big thank you to Dave for writing this beautiful song.
At 50 and a Foo Fighters fan, this is one of my all time favourite songs, and I, too, had to wipe away a tear.
42 here, lifelong metal fan. This was beautiful stuff, I'll hold this video near and dear forever. We are the world song for 2020..all genres coming together for one thing, and yes expertly shot and edited. Fantastic gift.
I just keep watching this over and over again.
go take a long walk off a short pier will ya.
I LOVE this version soooooooooo much! I listen to it often even three years later. Thank you.
I'm a 46 year-old Canadian who grew up during the Grunge era and still worship Dave Grohl. I didn't know who any of these younger singers were, but now I love them all. Absolutely fucking brilliant.
Majority are British. Dermot Kennedy has a fantastic voice and he's from Dublin, Luke Hemmings is Australian, Mabel .. Swedish? (I think) and Sean Paul is Jamaican, and of course, Mr. Grohl is American.
@@adamk2353 Yes, fair enough. Good point.
I'm in the same boat and could not agree more @portpass1974. I got chills watching it the first time, and chills the 100th time.
Me too...they all have beautiful voices.
Sam Fender is amazing!! You should give him a listen.
This song was legendary when I first heard it, but now, now it is immortalised in history. With eyes filled with tears, thank you sincerely. Music really is the modern world magic.
It really is 💖

Thank you ... old(er) people like me appreciate that ;0)
Thank you 🙏
The way this song has evolved over the years is something that I have never witnessed in 40 plus years of listening to music and following artists. A gift to all music lovers.
Just watching and listening to this brings up so much of my memories of uncertainty. Those were some weird times. Even now I feel like we aren’t quite back to normal pre pandemic.
Dave Grohl = the most amazing man of all time. His song, used to unite the world man... immense. Absolutely immense.
Agreed. An amazing soul, sublime songwriter, rock god, legend.
Yeah, yeah! & Dave’s reactions to the other singers & their gifts to the song - the whole thing - really, really cool.

Indra Karmawan Only he can get away with that.
Dave's face when AJ and Sean Paul start singing. The man's an absolute genius and a legend!
@To Be Honest this.
I laughed so hard, lol! He's the best! The Best! The beessttt.....
Totally agree.
That stamp of approval from Mr Grohl himself... yeah...
Truly truly grateful for this masterpiece.
Wonderful ❤
Daves face through this is priceless! THIS is why Dave writes songs. So all the people will SING his songs with him. Dave wrote this song at a crossroads, and credits it for FOO FIGHTERS staying together. AND for that I Am GREATFUL
Especially when the rap portion starts. That little smile. I'm a dad. I know that look. And I really feel like it's the look of a dad who sees his kid grow up to be something totally unexpected, but totally beautiful. He's not a fan of HIS music. He just loves music in general and it obviously gave him a lot of joy to see where this thing went and what a huge departure it was from the original.
@@jimvoigt8354 thank you for your kind response. Yea being a dad is the Shizz
@@jimvoigt8354 You are so right! I caught that look as well. These are some incredibly great, younger artists that I have discovered through this video. Thank you Dave.
This song is an example of how everyone came together no matter the difference in their style of music, their race, beliefs, etc and made the world a better place during the pandemic. It gave me hope and still does.The vocal and instrument arrangement is amazing and this video production broke through many barriers for upcoming independent artists. Thank you to the artists that made this song come to life.
So true I get goosebumps even now.
I swear I hope I'm not the only sap that almost had a tear listening to this. Damn.
No kind sir you are not, I genuinely had tears running down my face driving during work tonight when I heard this on Steve Wright for the first time today, sensational song and amazing feel good vibe.
Totally overcome with emotion listening to it, it's good to cry, enjoy it mate, peace.
No, I'm full blown bawling
It bought me to tears...
Darrell Belk definitely not the only one. It’s very emotional to see the world coming together and doing their bit
Emotional song man
They need to recreate this in person once the world has fought this virus.

THANK YOU, I ALWAYS SEARCHED FOR THIS COMMRENT
2024 already 😢... this is my favorite song ever, amazing artists, thank you for this ❤ miss you Taylor.
Don’t know the Taylor reference?
@@nancymartin7523Taylor Hawkins, Foo Fighters drummer for 25 years , who passed away suddenly in March 2022😢
Can we all appreciate the fact that one of the greatest Drummer's of all time is playing a Lava Lamp!?! Good improv
What a shame he no longer with us, We were robbed of talent, Rock hard in the next level Taylor.
With a screwdriver of course 😆
look at ben thatcher as well, perhaps the best new drummer out there hahah
He does move on to drums, same as the guy from royal blood playing the wine glasses
I watch this every day. I love these artists, many of whom I’d never heard of before this. One song can change the world.
Crazy huh? I have no idea who most of these artists are but going by comments they have legions of fans, all of them. But even if you don't know them, you don't really have to. Their voices are beautiful, the arrangement that the video and audio guys made is absolutely perfect and yes I watch this every few days for sure. It's a treasure, a gift to the world deff.
Agree 100%, i do the same.
What a relief... so, not just me.... 😉
This hits different these days. Every now & then I come back to listen & remember. Feel these lyrics, whoever mixed this did an incredible job, a whole bunch of extremely talented singers/musicians, what a mixture of styles too. It's beautiful that Daves voice is still right there every time he's in the mix.
Something that always sticks with me. To anyone that's having a hard time. Pressure makes diamonds ❤
RIP Taylor
Spot on, I too keep coming back and this version got me then and gets me now still...
This song made that awful year way better
The more I listen to this the prouder I feel. So much pure hope and togetherness.
Came here first thing this morning. The message rings true for Taylor's family today, as it did for all of us when this was first recorded.
Dan’s voice is just something beautiful and calm. Love him. ♥️♥️♥️♥️
Claudia Angélica. I love him too, his vocals are something else 😍😂
Probably have watched this10 times, I can't get enough of these types of mixes!!!!!
What a fantastic track, so refreshing and uplifting in these difficult times. I am 60 years old and it is great to see young talented people like you come together a give joy with your amazing diverse voices. Power to you all, stay safe and push through.
I am really enjoying singing along with all the talented artists here and am discovering new ones to check out on UA-cam while we are in lockdown. I tend to stick with my favourite prog rock of the 1970s, but this has opened up a whole new world to me. Thanks to all of you.
The sound engineer(s) that dealt with this are sick! working with all that variation and bringing it together had to be the hardest part of this project ! congrats
Shoutout to the audio engineer/s who put this together. Y’all the real MVP.
Edit: I’VE NEVER HAD THIS MANY LIKES, THX ILYSM 💕
Fraser T Smith is the producer
tru dat.
@@rogierguitar Seems, that Dave don't have a problem with it. ;)
I’m a musician and not a producer. I imagine it takes a lot of skill to mix all these vocal and instrument parts from so many different people and make it sound as good as it does. Shoutout to the producer, Fraser T Smith!
A whiz with the autotune no doubt!
I never get sick of listening to this song. ❤
Transcends it's own cliche. Very cheesy, but I still adore it.
THIS BECAME MY FAVORITE ALL TIME SONG SINCE THE FIRST TIME❤❤❤❤❤❤

Who is at 1:55? Amazing voice
Found the list. Peace

How's dua lipa with his all seeing eye
Who?
Dave Grohl: what a fearless, talented, humble, and true human being. A person who knows himself and has used his gifts to better this world. “What one can be one must be” Abraham Maslow.
The power of music to unite and build amazing memories. RIP Taylor Hawkins, what a star
Breaks my heart watching this. So good and now so sad.
Now thats Real dedication to the cause & we thankyou 4 it ✅
This song is what kept me going during the pandemic as a nurse before I became too sick myself to work. I worked right through COVID. Dave Grohl you and all you amazing artists need to receive an award for best artist. Amazing, healing, sending out waves of love and strength. Thank you.
Hiya Jeanne, I love your comment, I do agree with it, as a key worker it was songs like this what kept people going. Would be amazing to speak with you. Would you be up for talking.
Thank you soooo much - you wonderful person x
❤
that one screen of yungblud, dan smith, and luke hemmings gave me life, not even to mention Sam Fender was in this??? the power this video holds
Hahahaha it's fkn BRILLIANT
Here I am in November and I cannot listen to this song without tears in my eyes. Such a wonderous beautiful composition of a true classic song. Salute to the sound engineer and the video editor. - this is top notch, truly professional work.
Agreed
lets hope everyone follows the new lockdown so we can all go see live music again
when it happens i will go see any live music comedians art what ever it will just be good to get out and share
🙏❤️
Same as that. Listening to the murdered Oasis song and comparing to this, there is no comparison. This song really feels like they are all in it for the greater good. The Oasis song sounds like vocal gymnastics competing against each other. All for worthy causes and that is the main thing, just disappointed my favourite Oasis song was ruined. This cover though, just wow, I can't stop crying my heart out when I hear it 😊🥰
Dave's collaboration to gift us this song at the beginning of covid was a lifeline when the fear was so high.. May it again be a comfort to us now. Much love to the Foos and their families. Special prayers for Taylor's wife, son and daughters. ❤️🙏
Me encantó tu comentario. Saludos desde Argentina
This song saved my life.
Who doesn't get tired of listening to this ? Came at a time when the world was in turmoil and we didn't know what was going to happen to us all. We , the lucky ones , survived and this song will forever be a reminder that things do get better. Thank you Dave Grohl.
Dermot Kennedy...... never heard of him but had to look him up after his 5seconds on here. Amazing voice. Loved Sam Fender and Jess Glynne too
Unreal voice. So much power and expression in his vocals.
Tim Clarke the next big thing
His voice is fire! I stumbled upon him last year!
Thought it was David Grey
This has bought a tear to my eye many times but today, it's hard to imagine how fans, family and friends are coping with the news. So sad.
I’ve had the pleasure of practicing front line emergency medicine for 17 years for the NHS. I don’t cry. I’ve come close a few times. Sometimes I wish I could. Watching this brought me close, in an extremely heart felt, positive way. Thanks very much!
Made me cry but in the way you said ~ extremely heart felt & positive way. Thansk you for all that you do. We have always respected you guys but we are grateful beyond words. Aroha , Kia Kaha
It looks like Palouse Faith will be catching up with her ironing after the song, 😋. sorry Paloma Faith
Howard Haughton who??😆

David Brennan my little sister is working the frontline in London. We’re from Australia and she’s over in London doing her thing for your country. She’s a paramedic and ambulance driver. We are terribly worried being so far away from her. She, along with her boyfriend and flat mates are all frontline workers and they did catch COVID, but were A symptomatic due to being so fit. They knocked the virus on the head after quarantining for the mandatory 14 days and as soon as they got their third negative test, they went straight back out on the frontline. As I said we are extremely worried, but even more so than if it were me, as she only has one kidney and in some cases, even if you beat the virus, you may end up with 20-30% permanent vital organ damage. Luckily she walked away unscathed from her brush with it. I’m a man without faith, so I just keep my metaphorical fingers crossed that she keeps on kicking arse like she is and stays healthy and safe. ♥️
No words. Freaking incredible. What an incredible mix of artists.
Just came back again for a visit and my god, it still holds up as an epic gathering of talent for an exceptional choon. Just pure class all round. 10/10 would go into lockdown again to get it!!!! hahaha!!
Its times like these I realize how much of a national treasure Dave Grohl is.
mike adams a national treasure from a different country!
@@tomchapman5568 That's how much of a treasure he is. In the old days of the Empire we'd of nicked him ;)
*international
Shame Ellie Goulding couldn't be arsed to learn the words so had to read them from her phone
mike adams ain’t got nothing on contain though
"We make it better together we make a better life"
Amen.
Be safe everyone.
I cried tears of joy for the first time in a long time. Dave Grohl, you wrote an absolutely beautiful song and I am so glad that this collaboration exists. To all artists that contributed, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
Me too, im crying for this beatiful video, is amazing anh then to the end with chris martin i say i can die right now
I LOVE LOVE this performance. Even now, listening to it now in 2023, I recall discovering this in the beginning of 2020, and tear up. SUCH a fantastic song.... I was TERRIFIED and didn't know what to do with myself like most of us. Thank you to all involved who put a shape on such an undefinable raw REAL visceral scared emotion. The arts truly keep humanity alive.
Agreed. You've also said it much better than I ever could. ❤
I knew from the beginning it was a scam... I was fine being outside when the rest of the Disney world was locked
Idk how you didn't know of thisbefore unless you just mean the performance, but glad you found it. Ps another amazing one is Florence performing it at Glastonbury after they covered for foo after gave broke his leg being a dumb as crazy rock star, real chills
Completely agree, you said it perfectly. I still tear up now at the power of the emotions and whilst my mind has largely blocked out 2020 this brings me right back to the fear, uncertainty and dread. But equally the hope and happiness that music gave us and still does!
I do agree and so well said❤
I love how positive Dave Grohl is. When the rap starts he's just smiling. He's like what a interesting change. He always smiles and gives a lot of energy during a concert. In my humble opinion he is just the most likeable artist in the world. You can hate his music, but you can't hate Grohl. Grohl always puts a smile on my face at least.
I thought the smile was great also. Never expected it to be raped to.
I can't imagine anyone "hating" his music but your point is very well taken 🙂. The nicest guy in rock n roll!
i was thinking the same thing, when he started raping the smile was so huge. Also when Sean Paul part he gave that nod of approval
Dave Grohl definitely is one of the coolest men alive
@@shinigami146yea the rap was the only bad call, song better without.
This is proper raw music. As in as they’re all stuck at home it hasn’t been destroyed and overproduced in the studio.
There is no way some of there voices has not been recorded in a studio and edited this is not raw. Don't be silly
You can easily do this in a home studio lol. Times have changed, you do t need a professional studio anymore to sound like a star. Everyone can do it with a bit of practice and the right software.
I can't get enough of this song. So many brilliant artists, all different and so talented!!!! This has been THE SONG of 2020, by far.
I think it’s a good rendition of the song. It’s how one can manipulate songs that make this one of my favorite foo fighters songs
This is everything and I can’t hold back the tears.
16 months later, this still makes me cry. I will forever remember this version of the song as the theme song of the pandemic. I’m an old lady, so the only faces I recognize are Dave & Taylor, but it still means so much to me.
Me too... Just sensitive souls.
U meant plandemic.
Right there with you - reduced to tears over this one.
I'm old man too, the only faces i recognize after Dave & Taylor are Ellie Goulding, Biffy Clyro, Dua Lipa and Chris Martin for sure.
I'm old too, 61 and just discovered this. We can be proud of our young people. Absolutely beautiful!
The greatness of it all is one thing - seeing all these amazing artists singing this amazing song with this humble kind of joy.
The reactions from Dave (especially during the rap parts) - are another thing. Priceless
I loved watching Dave Grohl's reactions. This was awesome ❤️❤️
@KnoxTheBox So, just to clarify. You as a star seed come from a star that is not a star but is just a light that is stuck to a dome that covers the flat earth?
@@tenbestthings1855 I wonder if their imaginary friend tells them this?
Chris martin is a legend.
@@robertmills6497 I'm wondering if I should be paying more attention to the gnats congregating in the light fixture above the dining room table. I mean, I don't know exactly where they come from, but it seems like a pretty popular destination. Have they all come to deliver a message? If so, it must be of some importance, as it appears to be a suicide mission 100% of the time.
For a period of a few months in 2020 I would watch this video almost daily... sometimes it was the only thing that helped me keep going. I still think it is one of the most beautiful collaborations ever made, up there with "Do they know it's Christmas" from 1984.
Me too
WE didn’t.
The rest of the world did.
We have a lot of work ahead of us.
Simply stunning......even after 3 years
It's the ease of which some of these artists sing that gives away their true talent.
autotune
Michael Palmer there isn’t auto tune lol
@@musicby_levine ever heard sean paul actually sing live?😂
@@musicby_levine There is, pal. Listen to each singer one-by-one and hear the varying artificial smoothness as they move around different notes.
@@michaelpalmer5351 Absolutely autotuned to smithereens. Still, I like it.
Your spirit lives on through music...this is one of those touching moments... RIP Taylor 🌠💖
RIP
Regardless of singer, this is one of the most heartfelt, sincere, uplifting, beautiful, and inspiring rock songs ever written. THANK YOU to all these artists, and especially FOO FIGHTERS.
Oh shut up. This is cringe-inducing vomit.
I also feel it translated in to quite a nice warm uplifting house track too: soundcloud.com/send-and-return/foo-fighters-times-like-these-send-returns-live-lounge-love
Still here in 24 and still find this track so magical . Showing how humanity came together during those difficult and sad times 👍🏼
Seeing humans how obedient and blind can be... the lowest in the whole Univers
It was a scam, brainwashed shait
It's times like these you learn who can sing without autotune.
Explain that to all those kids screaming at autotune performers. I made a mistake to try it!
In fact it's no challenge to live-autotune.
Impossible... Even when shouting it at the top if your breath.
@@barrymantz6026 best comment here
Voice Fry )))
Chris at the end just makes the whole video👏🙌
He was soo amazing. Do you follow Coldplay too?!
The cheeky drop of Chris Martin at the end, well played editor, well played.
It should of been the foos at the end...
Laura R should have let Dave Grohl end his own song.
I'm a fan of Coldplay and even I think the Chris should've done a piano finisher (no singing) to accompany Dave on vocals to cap off the song's ending. Ohh well, what's done is done. Still damn good multi talented arrangement.
Dave openly hates Coldplay so much I don't get why Chris Martin was even involved
@@1987thedrums I think it's because Chris is very much about charity these days and hence I suspect that he's the one behind the entire montage in the first place. It was Chris who organised the Ariana Manchester concert, Chris who organised the #TogetherAtHome instagram COVID movement and he's headlined many Amnesty International events. He still supports the "love button" movement hence why he wears it publically at the time (even here). He's become a big figure amongst musicians due to these charity endeavours (think about all the connections needed to organise the Manchester One Love concert) and hence why he gets gigs such as the 50th superbowl halftime show. Given his repertoire with organising feel-good events in times of strife as well as his insane network with musicians, especially British musicians, it makes me believe he was the one who organised the piece of art you just enjoyed and THAT is why he's in the video. Just like Manchester, he doesn't do it to seek fame (he didn't perform much at Manchester even though he organised the event) and hence, it'd be just like him to sneak himself onto the very end of the montage. Also, hate him or like him, you can't deny he's one of Britains most awarded and successful musicians and hence he deserves his place here just like everyone else.
This is one of my favorite Foo songs and omg it's never made me this emotional 😭 something about it done this way wow the Foo and the lot of you will never cease to amaze!! Good day thats all for now. #I'm not crying you are
In my head I read your hashtag like SNL’s Sully & Denise😂
I was like: "Oh look, Foo Fighters singing together with all these young unknown talented people, so cute!"
.
.
.
Then I saw Chris Martin and realized they're all famous and I'm just old.
I know that feeling...
Yeah haha!!
Who are the Foo Fighters?
@@MrSitemaster2 haha ; I thought the same! It's their song.
Bytheway im here for CHRIS martin.
If you like foo fighters I’d recommend listening to royal blood and Sam Fender . They’re relatively new artists that you might enjoy
I wish I could like this a thousand-thousand times.
Chris Martin, what a classy touch.
You spelled 'what a fucking mess' wrong.
no. he ruined it
Such an emotional voice
I feel like Dave Grohl should have had the first and/or last line as the original singer but otherwise fair play to all concerned.
@@neiltemple4853 u mean ellie Goulding
It's not often I cry at the beauty of a video...but times like these bring tears of joy and hope to my eyes. Thank you all for sharing the beauty of your craft.
What a dream, watching my personal heroes Chris Martin, Foo Fighters, Biffy Clyro, Yungblud and Dua Lipa in just one beautiful FF song... T.T
I like Dua and Chris with a softer voice in the group, one to start and one to end the song beautifully.
Im here only for Chris and Dua. What about you?
@@Error-vc7ni chris martin is god
such a shame that they only put chris singing at the end but that was a grand finale

I always loved this song, but this slower, acoustic, group version is exquisite. What a brilliant effort. ❤️
what?!?!?! 3 years ago and I didn't see it until today. What a gift to the world people. Blessings
Absolute gold
didnt hear this gem till today. makes me a little sad
Chris Martin closing this collaboration was simply perfect 👌
for me, it was the reason why I heard the whole thing...
... there wouldn't happen to be a video with more of him singing said song would there?
@@Undraiks Same for me.
For me Chris Martin ruins this track (I'm glad there's not much of him on it)
Like cherry on top!
Just listened to the cover of this on BBC Radio 1. Although I absolutely love the Foo Fighters (Dave Grohl is a music mastermind!), you can really hear what the lyrics are saying in a new way in this cover. This song & lyrics have just been elevated for me on a whole other level!
I know and God bless them all.
Never heard something like this before. Damn it made me cry!!!
Let's not forget the brilliant work of those who assembled this wonderful video from its many parts. Beautiful!
Another perfect example of music bringing everyone together.
“People” or publicity obsessed wannabes ?
@@u9h99 Don't be so negative man!
im here for dave grohl, bastille and dermot kennedy this is incredible i cant stop re listening
This will always be my Covid song. During the isolation, fear, mourning the loss of loved ones, this version of this song was my go-to.
Thanks Dave for writing it, thanks to this wonderful group of artists for adding your soul and care in this version. Done April 23, 2020 - we had no idea how long it would last or how much it would change each of our lives and alter our global culture - but, together, we found out -
It’s times like this you learn to live again.
It’s times like these you give and give again.
It’s times like these you learn to love again.
It’s times like these, time and time again.
We make it better together.
That these performers were thinking about everyone stuck at home is so amazing. RIP Taylor
You really think they gave a fuck?
Did anyone else get shivers down their spine when Dave Ghrol came on?
A little bit, yeah.
He’s a great human! Simple.
Aaron Smith yessir
Yes Sir. A beautiful Boost in the song.

Yeah that’s fucken wild
Omg I didn’t realized it’s 9 months old!
this should be Corona's (the beer) new ad
This is such an awesome version, I’ve heard the acoustic version of this song in the past, but in this version the finger style arpeggios (instead of the straight strumming) really add depth to the song’s vibe. Kudos to all the performers, the producer, and sound engineer. David Grohl willingness to share the spotlight is legend. Sean Paul’s contribution to a new middle eight was perfect. The whole collaborative result is brilliant.
Totally agree! Does anyone know the notes to play this? Such an improvement to the straight d chord with alternate g string hammerings.
I totally agree, too. I discovered it last week, and I can't stop watching it. The song's message is always an important one, and especially during the worldwide coronavirus shut-in (check the premier date). I hadn't heard of many of the young British artists, but they're all very good. In addition to the performers, the producer, the sound engineer, and Dave Grohl, I would like to add kudos to the arranger. He / she did a masterful job of assigning who sang what. As Tony Ronco said, this is just brilliant!
This song will forever resonate in my mind, Absolutely Spiritual... God Bless You All!!!
Here for Sigrid, Dave Grohl, Dan and Chris Martin. That ending gives me goosebumps, sooo good ♡

The editor knew that noone could end it in a better than Chris Martin.
