If you're like me, you love the Foos. "Times Like These" is a great song in its own right but during... well... times like these, the lyrics really resonate:
I, I'm a new day rising
I'm a brand new sky
To hang the stars upon tonight
I am a little divided
Do I stay or run away
And leave it all behind?
It's times like these 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
To make this project even cooler, proceeds from the single go to charity. From the video description:
The BBC has released Times Like These (BBC Radio 1 Stay Home Live Lounge) as a single, with UK proceeds to be combined with any funds raised by The Big Night In. These funds will be split equally between BBC Children in Need and Comic Relief to provide essential support to vulnerable people of all ages and backgrounds across the UK who will be significantly impacted by the COVID-19 crisis.
International proceeds will go towards the WHO’s COVID-19-Solidarity Response Fund.
