Song #226

Into The Great Wide Open by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

It was the title track of that album and released in 1990

Fun fact: The music video for the single, directed by Julien Temple, stars Johnny Depp as the protagonist, Eddie Rebel, as well as Gabrielle Anwar as Eddie's girlfriend and Faye Dunaway as his manager, and features cameos by Terence Trent D'Arby, Chynna Phillips, and Matt LeBlanc. The video was shot during the filming of Arizona Dream, in which both Depp and Dunaway starred, which was on hiatus as its director Emir Kusturica had suffered a nervous breakdown. The song was extended in order to include more of the 18 minutes of footage Temple had created.

Song #239

100 Bad Days by AJR

Released on January 29, 2019.

Fun Fact: The trio told Billboard: As a band, and as guys in their twenties, most of our experiences end in rejection, failure, and bad days. We wanted to write a realistic look at that… what doesn’t kill you doesn’t always make you stronger. But what doesn’t kill you always makes you more interesting.”

Song #241

Still feel. by half•alive

Released on August 3, 2018.

Fun fact: “still feel.” was born from a 50 song project. Three years ago I had challenged myself to in hopes of improving my skill as a songwriter; those sessions and songs would eventually become the foundation of half•alive. I wrote this track during a period of my life when I felt very removed from myself. I started getting used to this ‘floaty’ feeling, not being grounded in anything and consequently not being the person I was meant to be at that time. The ‘floaty-ness’ lent itself to the concept of being without gravity and the metaphors of outer space. Through the lyrics of the song we explore the theme of hope inside hopelessness and finding purpose and passion despite feeling unrooted." –Joshua Taylor (lead singer of half•alive)

Song #224

Metal Guru by T. Rex

It was released in 1972 in their album The Slider

Fun fact:

Bolan himself described the song's apparent religious references as this:

Is a festival of life song. I relate 'Metal Guru' to all gods around. I believe in a god, but I have no religion. With 'Metal Guru', it's like someone special, it must be a godhead. I thought how god would be, he'd be all alone without a telephone. I don't answer the phone any more. I have codes where people ring me at certain times.
