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:

“Id say without a doubt, it would be Aurora,” says Hawkins, adding, “I think its 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 didnt 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.“
