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.

Song Stories

“Piano Man”

Billy Joel | 1973

Billy Joel’s first hit, “Piano Man,” was – ironically – an autobiographical lament about how his first album wasn’t a hit. When Cold Spring Harbor didn’t take off, Joel briefly became a lounge pianist in Los Angeles, and this song, about that experience, expressed his frustrations and fears at the time: “And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar/And say, ‘Man, what are you doing here?’” “It was all right,” Joel said later, about the gig. “I got free drinks and union scale, which was the first steady money I’d made in a long time.”
