+I've been wanting to record this for a while. This is my cover of "Aurora" by
+Foo Fighters. Recorded as a tribute to the amazing Taylor Hawkins.

+{{< youtube cq5FCdLD3Kc >}}
+
+"Aurora" was apparently Taylor's favourite Foo Fighters song.
+
+From [Classic Rock
+World](https://classicrockworld.org/taylor-hawkins-reveals-aurora-is-his-favorite-foo-fighters-song/):
+
+> “I’d say without a doubt, it would be ‘Aurora,” says Hawkins, adding, “I think
+> it’s really, I love that side of Dave. I love it when Dave gets into his voice
+> almost like a yacht rock and he doubles his voice very well. And that was the
+> first drum track I did for the Foo Fighters that I was very, very proud of
+> because I only played half the drums on the Nothing Left to Lose album because
+> it was my first time in the studio and I was … I didn’t know how to record.
+> Recording drums and playing live is very different and the errors are very
+> polarized, once you are under the scrutiny of the microphones. You had to get
+> it right.“
