Times Like These - BBC Radio 1 Stay Home Live Lounge

The Live Lounge is a BBC Radio 1 segment where well-known artists perform one song of their own and one by another artist in an acoustic format. In April 2020, BBC Radio 1 organized "the biggest ever Live Lounge," with a multitude of artists gathered in their homes to cover The Foo's Fighters' 2002 song "Times Like These" in support of the global effort to stay safe and stay home during 2020 coronavirus crisis.

It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again The BBC chose the song as the lyrics fit how people reached out to others more in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. "It's a funny feeling for me because it's a song I wrote at a strange time in my life where I was scared but hopeful and I think it applies to today," Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl told the BBC's Zoe Ball.

The artists that took part were: AJ Tracey, Anne-Marie, Bastille, Biffy Clyro, Celeste, Chris Martin, Dermot Kennedy, Dua Lipa, Ellie Goulding, Five Seconds of Summer, Grace Carter, Hailee Steinfeld, Jess Glynne, Mabel, Paloma Faith, Rag N Bone Man, Rita Ora, Royal Blood, Sam Fender, Sean Paul, Sigrid, Yungblud and Zara Larsson. Dave Grohl and Foo drummer Taylor Hawkins also participated in the fun.
