- 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 - Zábava
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. 🤘🤘
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! 😊
Beautiful version!! Thank you both.❤
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.
You guys sound great doing this cover. I love how the guitars sound like there singing to you!! I love that you gave this song your own sound The harmony from you guys is beautiful!! Once again a great performance!
Thank you Penny!

Great song and cover. I love songs with a story. Tom Petty was amazing 🥲
He sure was!
One of my fave Tom Petty songs! Excellent harmonizing!❤
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!
He is blindly brilliant. I would walk barefoot on broken glass to see him in concert.
Great version of this song, well done." Winners never quit, and quitters never win.”
Amen!
Lovely cover! It looks like an awesome jamsession, both relaxed and in tune with each other 😊 great job!
One with nature

Mr. Petty is definitely smiling, wherever he is ❤ Well balanced, specially considering Erik's vocal capacity. Job well done, as the saying goes 😊👌🏻🇸🇪
Amazing cover & well done
Very great cover !👌 Thank you Erik !
Thanks for watching
I keep coming back to this excellent cover. Great job Erik and crew, this is awesome 👍

Thank you Melissa!
Thank you, Melissa!
😊 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". 😎
I was just watching the show on Q&A. I didn’t realise that you had the big C mate I am so sorry to hear that. I am so glad that you recovered well and you are fit and healthy mate. That is so good to see you and so good to hear I hope that it never comes back and I hope you’re completely cured for the rest of your life mate beyond that I was just wondering could you please try to sing or you could I’m saying try you can I’m sure stairway to heaven that would be absolutely brilliant matewould be fantastic thank you❤🇦🇺👍
Thank you very much for saying that. I pretty much have already decided the covers for this year but I will keep it in mind for the future :)
Erik I love everything you do.
Thank you!
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. 😆
wow - this is the next perfect cover. im realy impressed from your voice and talent!!! maybe you can make a cover from fleetwood mac - go your own way - i love that song and i wish i could see/hear what your impression is ..... plz 🥰😍
This backyard session are amazing! You guys did such a cool versions, that guitar solo es everything, and Erik your voice sounds splendid amazing as usual 😉
Thank you 🍺
Thanks for your kind words 🤘❤
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!
Beautiful
I enjoyed the interpretation of the lyrics and the feeling of the song, it felt deep.
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...;-)
😊 Mr. Gronwall, i'm not sure if you'll ever read this comment - there are so many of them 👀 - but i'd like you to know i appreciate you as great artist, with cool voice and true passion for music.
Keep up the fine work! Respect! 😎👍
I did read the comment and I appreciate it 😎 Thanks so much!
🤩🤝 Thank you! 💫
Hihi, I know this one from your Songs of the Week, quite useful thing 😉 Great job, E & P, the killing duo ❤
Thank you Ivana. Yes decided to do one from song of the week
Awesome! Thank you so much! That's one of my all time favorite songs!
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!

I love this song! And your performance was absolutely amazing 👏👏👏
Appreciate it, thank you!
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!
I didn't know this song.Thanks for telling me lovely song!I can image you're singing this song in your late 10's.Your dream came true!😉

Tom Petty...I never missed a concert...even if I had to drive a few hrs.
The last time he came to the Carolinas was a RALEIGH show.
I live in SC....
I miss this humble man so bad! #1ROW
#AWESOMESHOWS
Amazing!
@ I cried for days when Tom passed.
I need you to do me some Shinedown. LOL
These clips are da BOMB! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
Thanks!!
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.
That was so good 💫
Thank you!
Another great cover Erik looking forward to the next so great u do these videos on a Friday afternoon when I’m on my lunch break
Thanks for watching Amanda!

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 💡

@ 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 😄😉
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 👍!!
Hörde ditt sommarprat nyss med min fru när vi körde genom hennes norrländska hemmaplan. Det var starkt. Denna cover på en fantastisk låt från min barndom var också stark men på ett annnat sätt. Erik, du är grym, kör hårt. Älskade ditt framförande på Sweden rock i år. Hoppas att jag får se dig igen. ❤
Stort tack. Härlig kommentar att vakna till. Hälsa frugan! 🙏🏻
❤❤❤❤
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!
Johnny Depp is missing 🤟 awesome cover ❤
