- 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 - Развлечения
Beautiful cover of a great classic! Thanks for playing and sharing it 👏👏👏🎼🎼🎼
Mr. Petty is definitely smiling, wherever he is ❤ Well balanced, specially considering Erik's vocal capacity. Job well done, as the saying goes 😊👌🏻🇸🇪
All Love Erik Grönwall very much alsow and Forever
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.
Thank you very much! I was offered a karaoke job at a pub in Spain a few days ago
What kind of 401k, benefits and retirement package they offering? 🙂@
@ Ha ha really. That would be so awesome to walk into a bar and see you singing bloody karaoke ha. I’m hoping you start writing music again. Something like H.E.A.T but maybe less European style power metal and more aimed towards an American / British style rock style.
@ What happens in Spain, stays in Spain!!! 😝 At least come here more often, please. 🤘🤘
When even the mosquitos is in awe and don't want to disturb the performance. I bet it started suck the blood from Erik's ear the moment they stopped. 😆
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. 💖
Thank you for this comment. It made me very happy reading it this morning. Appreciate you!
@ErikGronwallOfficial
Erik is my "therapist" (coming up on year 3!)-I was getting "in and out of trouble" (mentally and emotionally)...til I heard this amazing kid singing In And Out Of Trouble with a band called H.E.A.T. The rest for me, as they say, has been history. I'll never stop listening to this gifted young man.
And the Calgary show can't come soon enough! 😊
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!
Thanks dude!
Fantastic, wonderful. I love it. Liebe Grüße von Germany
Erik I love everything you do.
Thank you!
One of my fave Tom Petty songs! Excellent harmonizing!❤
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!
🔥 im your new fans from 🇵🇭
I keep coming back to this excellent cover. Great job Erik and crew, this is awesome 👍
Thanks man. This song was a bit of a wild card but it’s such a cool song
@ A wild card and gamble that turned out just right. Tom would be proud with this honour of yours
Keep up the great spirit 🤟
So so so lovely! ❤❤
Love this Tom Petty is one of my favorite singers and songwriters of all time!
He was amazing
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.
He is blindly brilliant. I would walk barefoot on broken glass to see him in concert.
Beautiful version!! Thank you both.❤
I love these Backyard Sessions! So nice to see you both together, perfect team if you ask me❤I really enjoyed this cover! Your voice is so soothing as well🫶🏻🩷

watching your channel is so nice. it's like you take us along on a summer trip through Sweden 2023. I have never heard anything of you a couple of days ago, just saw the 18 and live performances with Skid Row. I am a huge fan of that Band since 1990. you did great!
What a beautiful sweet song, I love it,I’m so glad to see you guys again,well done 🤘🤘❤️❤️🎸🎸
Beautiful version Erik 8 as always) and magic guitar solo Philip! "Godis för öronen!"
Tack Katarina!
@ Vad jag önskar du skulle göra Don't wanna miss a thing igen. Din röst är som gjord för den. Du gjorde den fantastiskt på slutaudition men det finns inga klipp med bra ljudkvalitet från den😪.
Tack så hemst mycket, Katarina!!
Very great cover !👌 Thank you Erik !
Thanks for watching
Ah, that it is😁 like it so much, your voice has this little dirty sound and Philips guitar sounds perfect as always. Btw your guitar sounds also good. Thanks for this great cover 💋💋
😊 Mr. Gronwall, i left a comment for this song already, but have to say how much you remind me of one friend of mine, while you sing and play the guitar.
It was many years ago, when we (as kids) played and singed at summer evenings - but i can hear it in your voice too. The saddest thing is, a friend i mentioned, few years ago took his own life (on purpose or not, we 'll never know)... 💔
I really like this song anyway, but it 's like listening this old friend again - each time. 🤝
And yeah, he really was "a rebel without a clue". 😎
Å, så fint !! Jättebra version av en bra låt!!👌🏻👏
Lovely cover! It looks like an awesome jamsession, both relaxed and in tune with each other 😊 great job!
One with nature
Great you guys!!!...:-)
Hey if we ever get that huge Standing Rock North Dakota concert off the ground, it would be a honor to have you sing Tom Pettys lyrics...;-)
Tom petty rip. Jeff Lynn is such a great song writer and producer.
So beautiful!😍 Thank you for a great new cover Erik & Phillip.🤘🏻 I love it!🖤

That is a beautiful acoustic guitar. It's funny how your guessing games get me thinking of new requests. Now I would love to hear your version of Ventura Highway.

Omg, another amazing cover, Erik! Great job-I wish I was sitting there in a lawn chair with a drink 🙂
Maybe we should do these with a small love audience in the future 😉
Awesome idea!
Thank you, again 👌❤️ 🎸🎤
Thank YOu
@ The landscape in the background of the video is very similar to here in Finland.
Did you get the message I sent as a discord private message? I dedicated a song to you.
It would be my turn for you to guess what the song is about 😄😉
Sounds great!!!!
Love the song..would never have guessed it though
A bit unexpected I guess
❤❤❤❤
I have to be honest, I’m not a huge fan of Tom Petty, or this song. For you to make me REALLY like this song just further proves how incredibly talented you are.
Wow, thank you for sayin that!
What a nice Chorus man!!! Regards from 🇧🇷
Cheers Brazil!
Awesome rendition!! I think the backyard sessions could become a thing. Look what you guys accomplished even through all the rain that day.🌦 I just advise you don't try doing it in the snow.!!!! 😂🙃👽
That would be a sight to see 😂
You’re giving me ideas 💡
@ ideas??? I grant thee a free license to do with as you please !! 🥸
Erik! Du är bland det finaste vi har i Sverige ❤️👏🏻 fantastisk cover som alltid 👌🏻 btw, du passar verkligen bra som sångare i Skid Row 🤘🏻🙌🏻🤘🏻
Wow. Tack Joel!
E.G 🇸🇪🔥😎
This is great guys!
A bit different. Thank you 🤘🏻
Me encanta Erik 😍🤩
Great performance, you made this song justice
Thanks Erik
@ But I`m still waiting to hear you sing wasted time.
Great cover. I love how you both play guitar together ❤. I'm not a big fan of the song though (strangely I still know the lyrics 🤔). Well done, Erik & Philip
It’s because the lyrics are the coolest ever!
@ That's true 🤘😁
Always loved your voice dude, as a singer myself, not famous by any means, but its been a life saver for me. !!!
Thank you for saying that Emmanuel. I wish you all the best
@ErikGronwallOfficial cheers dude, that means alot from you 👍!!
Well done guys. 😎👍
Cheers!
❤🎶 just love it
Thanks 🙏🏻
Grym version, avskalad, känslosam. Fan vet om jag inte gillar det där arret bättre än originalet, det blev mer fokus på sång och melodi. 🙂
Fan vad kul. Tack!
