In ConclusionĪs has already been pointed out numerous times in this blog, such is a common device amongst popular singers, i.e. Or put more plainly, Aurora is the type who believes people should be accepted as are – specifically within the context of sexual preference in this case – no matter what. Apparently, as far as the lyrics go, she has decided to relay that argument for the most part in a romantic context. It is currently 2x platinum in Australia and gold in Japan.Īt the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2001, the album was honored with the “Best Rock Album” award.Based on the words of Aurora, what this track is speaking to is the need to belong, as well as stigmatization of gay people. And with that foreknowledge in mind, anyone familiar with her artistry and sexual orientation will probably figure out, putting those ideas together, that what the title alludes is the songstress asserting that she doesn’t “ need a cure for” herself (as if perhaps inspired by the X-Men film franchise). The album has been certified platinum in the US, UK as well as Canada. It ranked top-10 in a number of countries: ![]() 10 on both the Billboard 200 and the UK’s OCC. In support of the album, the band embarked on the “There Is Nothing Left to Lose” tour in 2000. Roswell Records, a record label established by the band’s founder, Dave Grohl and American record label, RCA Records were responsible for the official release of the album. Guitarist Franz Stahl was relieved of his duties for not being in sync with the rest of the band. Guitarist Chris Shiflett joined Foo Fighters after the album’s release.įoo Fighters joined hands with award winning American record producer, Adam Kasper to produce the album.

But as far as his formative years as a musician, those were in fact spent in Seattle, which the vocalist is apparently acknowledging. So it seems as if what Dave is saying is that even then, during an early Seattle days, he was a starving artist who strove towards, shall we say transcending the ‘hood. This is an idea we commonly come across in songs, especially from artists who grew up in what can be deemed small-town environments. But of course, Seattle is a major city.
