My Hero


The song "My Hero" by the Foo Fighters is originally in the key of D major. It was released as a single in 1998 and is featured on their second studio album, "The Colour and the Shape." The song was written by the band's frontman, Dave Grohl, who is also the lead vocalist and guitarist. An interesting tidbit about the track is that the main guitar riff was inspired by the opening theme of the television show The Saint. "My Hero" showcases a catchy and energetic melody with powerful and heartfelt lyrics, capturing the theme of idolizing someone as a hero.
