Complicated Animals have released an intimate, acoustic take on "Times Like These" by Foo Fighters. The Brazilian American duo gravitated toward the track, because the lyrics are in line with the events of this year.


Monica and Chad had this to say about their new single. “This year sure has been crazy. We’ve all had to slow down, and focus on familial relationships, and close friendships. We believe that these challenging times are the times that shape us. The most important thing we can do right now, is just be there for each other. We hope to inspire people with some positivity. The world needs more of that. We're staying hopeful for the future. As Oscar Wilde said, ‘Behind every exquisite thing that existed, there was something tragic.’”






Monica and Chad are collaborating with a Miami based, Brazilian artist named Karla Caprali on this release. She has created the song art, and is now working on a powerful visual (animated video) to go with the track. Stay tuned for the video. In the meantime, check out some of Karla’s artwork.

What a heartfelt cover! I love how Complicated Animals captured the emotion of “Times Like These.” Music like this reminds us to cherish close relationships and positivity. On a lighter note, after enjoying such soulful tunes, nothing beats coming home to the joy of English Cream Retriever puppies they truly bring warmth and happiness to any household.

What a refreshing take on “Times Like These”! I love how Complicated Animals capture the emotion and intimacy of the original while adding their unique twist. Their collaboration with Karla Caprali really elevates the visual experience too. By the way, this reminds me of searching for a saltwater aquarium fish store near me both music and marine life have a way of bringing calm and inspiration.

I really enjoyed this acoustic take on “Times Like These.” It feels raw, honest, and perfectly suited to everything people have been processing lately. The collaboration with Karla Caprali adds such a thoughtful artistic touch as well. Music like this heals in quiet ways, much like guidance from a Psychic For Horse connects deeply and intuitively. Beautiful release.
