INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN - Erik Grönwall (Tom Petty Cover).
My guitar teacher introduced me to this song in high school and made it my homework. I still love the chord progression, the song and the story. It felt full circle recording this one with my high school buddy Philip.

Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
The future was wide open

They moved into a place they both could afford
He found a nightclub, he could work at the door
She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
The sky was the limit

Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

The papers said Ed always played from the heart
He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
They made a record, and it went in the charts
The sky was the limit

His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single"
The future was wide open

Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Out in the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

Into the great wide open
Under them skies of blue
Into the great wide open
A rebel without a clue

This dude will never have to worry about money/making a living. He could take an acoustic and set up anywhere and make more in a day than most people make in a month. What a HUGE talent.

Erik beat cancer, became a successful musician, is a good hearted person who gives back to others, never made excuses, and truly enjoys life. I'm so happy to see someone who actually earned all the happiness and success that he worked so hard for. A fucking incredible human being. Not too many good hearted people left in the world as it has gone crazy. Just a great person who deserves nothing but the best. Nothing but love from the US to Sweden. 💖

That guy can sing each and every song. What a talent. I have witnessed his great talent and capability of performing on a high level, when Skid Row played in Oberhausen/Germany last November. They were on fire and Eric blasted everyone away. Every song was well interpreted and sounded like the real deal. I’ll never his performance of Quicksand Jesus and In a Darkened Room. Eric…go ahead.

Great job Erik!! You were my first guitar student more than 20 years ago. I guess I'm better at teaching now than I was back then ;)

Damn Erik, I really misjudged you.
I am absolutely blown away by your voice man. I hope one day I can sing like you and Bach combined. Looking forward to the next Skid Row album!

Erik sounds amazing as usual, so talented. But I jumped in to give some love to the high harmonies provided by the other guy (sorry, I don't know Other Guy's name). Very slick and sooo well integrated, you can't pick out his consonants at all. Harmonies that good are such an underrated skill!
