Some songs are perfect when a big moment calls out for something. And right now, at a moment in American history, and the history of politics in the modern world, Foo Fighters‘ 2003 hit, Times Like These is one of those songs.
As a fan of the band I am already in love with this song at all times. But when they closed Saturday Night Live on November 7, 2020 (early into November 8), with a reworked version of Times Like These, it felt bigger and it gave me goosebumps. And then it gave me goosebumps again when I rewatched it. That’s the power of music and emotion. That’s the magic of art and life. That’s what a song can do.
Because I’m feeling all these feelings, and because Times Like These deserves to be heard and sang and felt right now, I’ve got a list of 10 videos of the song. We’ve got the SNL performance, the live performance on Letterman’s last show, the recent #SOSFEST acoustic performance, and more.
Hit play on any or all of them – but especially the Saturday Night Live performance if you want to get the goosebumps I got.
Enjoy!
