Australian duo Canyons are set to release their long-awaited album Keep Your Dreams next month. Their debut single "My Rescue" infuses the electronic dance music the group is known for with heavy guitars and live drums. "We actually wrote 'My Rescue' about the feeling you get when inspiration strikes and the power it has to momentarily make all your worries disappear," Canyons' Leo Thomson tells Rolling Stone. "In essence, the song is kind of about itself because the music for it came about when we were feeling a little uninspired and just tinkering with a couple of sounds. The lyrics ended up being about that process."

Canyons' Keep Your Dreams will hit stores on November 15th, but you can download "My Rescue" for free here.

“Let My Love Open the Door”

Pete Townshend | 1980

A peppy, hopeful love song, "Let My Love Open the Door" became a U. S. Top Ten hit for Pete Townshend in 1980, anchored by the kind of repeating synthesizer figures that he'd used in some of the Who's recordings in the previous decade. Although Townshend brushed the song off as "just a ditty" in Rolling Stone shortly after its release, in 1996 he revealed it was about love of the holiest sort. "It's supposed to be about the power of God's love," he remarked. "That when you're in difficulty, whether it's major or minor, God's love is always there for you."
