Foo Fighters – The Artist/s

Foo Fighters is an American rock band, formed in Seattle, Washington, in 1994. It was founded by Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl as a one-man project following the dissolution of Nirvana after the suicide of Kurt Cobain. The group got its name from “Foo fighter”, a nickname coined by Allied aircraft pilots for UFOs and other aerial phenomena they reported seeing. Prior to the release of Foo Fighters’ 1995 debut album Foo Fighters, which featured Grohl as the only official member, Grohl recruited bassist Nate Mendel and drummer William Goldsmith, both formerly of Sunny Day Real Estate, as well as Nirvana touring guitarist Pat Smear to complete the lineup.

Times Like These – The Song

‘Times Like These’ is  the second single released from the Foo Fighters’ fourth album One by One. The lyrics discuss how Dave Grohl felt “like I wasn’t entirely myself” during the three-month hiatus the band entered following the tense and unsatisfying first recording sessions for One by One, as well as his uncertainty about the future of the band. The lyric “I’m a new day rising” is a reference to the album New Day Rising by Hüsker Dü, one of Grohl’s favourite groups.

The Human Heart – The Shape

Modelled into the silhouette of a human heart, inspired by the heart on the records picture sleeve. The heart is a muscular organ in most animals, which pumps blood through the blood vessels of the circulatory system. The pumped blood carries oxygen and nutrients to the body, while carrying metabolic waste such as carbon dioxide to the lungs. In humans, the heart is approximately the size of a closed fist and is located between the lungs, in the middle compartment of the chest.
