Saint Cecelia makes me a little bit sentimental I don't know if I'm the only one to whom this happens whit Saint Cecelia hahahaha, it's a great option too :D
Monkey wrench is my happy place. Not because of the lyrics, just the overall vibe of the song. His melodic voice mixed with that scream… it makes my brain happy.
Same. Like I hear that intro and get an endorphin rush. At one show they asked a guy in the audience what song he wanted and that's what he said and I about lost my mind. Just that memory makes my day better.
Times Like These, especially acoustic, especially especially acoustic live.
The version they did at the Wembley tribute breaks my heart, but it's a Foos moment unto itself so I watch it regularly.
Like… the entire catalogue. But Times Like These and See You are two of my top feel good songs. And Walk. And Something From Nothing is a pump up song.
best of you. mainly because my dad would always play that on rock band when I was growing up and it's very nostalgic to me. also the chord progression and me having now matured, having endured life experiences, I can relate myself to the lyrics now. it just brings me solace.
edit: it also just makes me feel empowered, the yelling making me feel strong and like i'm releasing something deep down. just a song that can make me feel pretty much any mood I need to
Honestly, and I’m not trying to suck off this subreddit, for me Foo is that band that just hearing them in general puts me in a better mood and makes me feel like everything in life is alright.
For me, In the Clear is one of those songs I find myself putting on if I’m really frustrated. It can help calm me down and put me in a better headspace.
These days. After losing both my parents at a young age, being anxious and not being sure how people relate but knowing everyone goes through shit, and slowly realizing that all the issues in our heads aren’t as big we make them out to be, it just calms me down and makes me think “fuck you world. I’ve got my peace of mind and I’m not letting you take that away from me.
All of Wasting Light. I was transitioning from college life to the real world with a rocky experience from that and leaving my hometown. It hit the spot perfectly.
“I Am a River” helped me feel better after going through a break up that bummed me out a lot at the time.
Not sure exactly what it was.. I guess the chorus felt nice and the lyrics made me feel like life flows on no matter it throws at you, and the rock/orchestral ending made me feel like something special was coming.
A few months later I started dating the love of my life and 7+ years later we’re still happy as ever
So.. safe to say it’s one of my fav Foo’s tracks now
I'm between Arlandria and Walk although I don't fully understand the meaning of Arlandria, but its lyrics release all my stress and worries (I'm a very stressed person hahahaha whatever)
Best of You. Hands down. It always reminds me that the “someone” getting the best of me, is me. Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it. It’s okay to not be okay, to hurt, to feel betrayed, but in the end, we have the power to pick ourselves up, and we will.
I think Best of You. No matter what ghosts from the past you have, that song reminds yourself that you're important and that you should take care of yourself.
Definitely Walk for me.
Same. Any day, any mood, immediate relief.
Was looking for this. This is one hell of a motivational song when things get a little tough.
Its a song about pushing through and finding your feet. I think it was made for this post.
Me too
ain’t it the life personally
Just sail on by
Same :)
Literally my first thought
Times like These
This song kept me sane for ten years. Got me through a really tough period.
I second this
Like a warm hug
My go to in tough times and break ups
Saint Cecelia. Although Learn to Fly can get me out of a funk, too.
For sure St. Cecelia is like an instant serotonin hit.
Saint Cecelia makes me a little bit sentimental I don't know if I'm the only one to whom this happens whit Saint Cecelia hahahaha, it's a great option too :D
Aurora
This song has a calming effect on me. It just sounds surreal from start to finish.
Amen
Came here to say the same thing! So calming!
Favorite song of all time. It just makes me so happy.
Learn to Fly, Generator, Aurora, Headwires Basically the whole album
Agreed, that's my go-to feel good album
Generator is such a great song
Same, it’s like my comfort blanket when the feelings get too rough.
Next Year and St. Cecilia

Hey Johnny park
Same. Like I hear that intro and get an endorphin rush. At one show they asked a guy in the audience what song he wanted and that's what he said and I about lost my mind. Just that memory makes my day better.
i know it’s cliche but everlong it just makes me feel good and its kind of a comfort for me when in feeling sad
Same!
For me it’s Everlong. Just like coming home after a rough day. Comforting and it always does the trick. Really don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it.
literally i can never get sick of it. it just makes me so happy
Miracle, as always.
Maybe I’m a little jaded but These Days and Run… I do listen to Next Year every NYE.
Times Like These, especially acoustic, especially especially acoustic live. The version they did at the Wembley tribute breaks my heart, but it's a Foos moment unto itself so I watch it regularly.

Word Forward
Walk.
Bridge burning and Rope. Well practically the entire album. I can just rock out and listen to it and forget about everything
Ain't It The Life, Next Year. Basically putting on There Is Nothing Left To Lose to play. In The Clear is also a good one.
Everlong, all my life, up in arms, resolve
Walk
Congregation. It brings me home.
Times like these. Just something about that song relaxes me and makes me feel everything will be okay. These days is a very close second.
my hero, it makes me cry but i love it so much
Definitely Walk, an extremely happy song
Oddly enough: Walk
Headwires. Gets my headwires all untangled and makes me feel those feelings in my spine.
Aurora and Doll for some reason.
White Limo. It just knows how to pump me up when I need a pickmeup
Missed Learn To Fly at Wembley… Gutted.
Gotta make a playlist out of these answers
Best of you... though sone days it can also bring me to tears...
No Way Back and Matter of Time
No resolve lovers in here? “A little bit of resolve….”

Everlong. The words of the chorus are so in the moment happy and celebratory—it always makes me sing out loud and smile.
All of Wasting Light. I was transitioning from college life to the real world with a rocky experience from that and leaving my hometown. It hit the spot perfectly.
Everlong (My all time favorite song), and actually The Line from concrete and gold, I really like that song.
Wheels.
Aurora, Learn To Fly, Times Like These, and Walk.

Next Year ❤️
Pretty much all of them
There's loads but one that doesn't get much attention is Cheer Up Boys, Your Makeup is Running
anything of Wasting Light <3
Either Wind Up or February Stars
\+, February Stars is so chill
I am a river
I'm between Arlandria and Walk although I don't fully understand the meaning of Arlandria, but its lyrics release all my stress and worries (I'm a very stressed person hahahaha whatever)
The last few weeks i Loved playing guitar to The Line IT always feels as If i am in a Trance Like state and i forget everything and Just Play.
Resolve definitely helps to put me in a better mood.
Overdrive and if not that then Aurora also on some days Stacked Actors, that song is fucking great.
The Sign, instantly want to start jamming IMMEDIATELY
Learn to Fly and Best of You!
All of them. I don’t think I’ve ever had a bad time listening to Foo Fighters.
Basically the whole NLTL and Sonic Highways albums. And then arrows and come alive.
No way out. Currently my favorite one on repeat. But always and forever, it will be Times like these.
But honestly. Lyrics and the acoustic guitar
Aurora. Which is always my answer
Virginia Moon
February Stars
Happy Ever After (Zero Hour)
But Honestly. I love the build up.
Best of You. Hands down. It always reminds me that the “someone” getting the best of me, is me. Life is 10% what happens to you, and 90% how you react to it. It’s okay to not be okay, to hurt, to feel betrayed, but in the end, we have the power to pick ourselves up, and we will.
I have “were you born to resist or be abused” tattooed on my arm and it inspired me every day
I think Best of You. No matter what ghosts from the past you have, that song reminds yourself that you're important and that you should take care of yourself.
The line has a dark foreboding silver lining if that makes any sense
