My Hero

My Hero was written by Dave Grohl as a tribute to his musical heroes and the ordinary people he admired. It was partly inspired by Grohls admiration for his friend and former bandmate Kurt Cobain but also addresses everyday heroes. The song was a significant hit and has been seen as an anthem by fans.
