• One of Rebelution's most popular songs, "Safe And Sound" was issued on their debut album, Courage to Grow. The reggae group was formed at the University of California Santa Barbara and fronted by Eric Rachmany, who told us that although inviting getaway he sings about here has a pretty obvious meaning, he did have something specific in mind when he wrote it. "That song is me kind of feeling the energy from being on stage and pitching myself to a young lady," he said. "And I definitely have one in mind from back in the day that I still can remember and think about." (Here's our full Eric Rachmany interview.)
• This song got a lot of heat on MySpace near the peak of its popularity. That platform helped launch Rebelution, who released the album independently and used the internet to find an audience.
