Tom Petty - Free Fallin'

[1968mjh]

Summer 1989, just finished college, riding across Virginia in a Chevy Impala, this song on the radio, my whole future in front of me.

now i'm fat and losing my hair and I have a great future behind me.

[Nevusien]

I posted this on my facebook. Within one minute of posting, I get a comment saying 'John Meyer is better.' My faith in humanity has been shaken yet again.

[guitarplayer0007]

@Nevusien i don't like most modern music either, but i have to admit that like john mayers take on that song very much. but it's different in many ways.

[ProjectVIN]

I used to think hot pink was just a girls' colour. Now I think of it as a retro early '90s colour.

[natedoggydogg247]

2:44 I think I remember reading a comment a few years back that said her smile could stop a T-Rex in its tracks lol. She is beautiful.

[iJustWayne]

@natedoggydogg247 yea i have never seen a girl that beautiful, i honestly have not.

[kja427]

Someone tried telling me that Belinda Carlisle was the female equivalent of Tom Petty; Please, Spareth Thou Me! For one thing, she's pop not rock; For another thing, Tom Petty plays a guitar, she doesn't. Nice tune, by the way.

[thekat16]

3:22 I love this song amazing!!!

[disturbed12345666]

okay nobody buy that album on the advertisement that was the most pathetic shit ive ever heard. thats part of the reason the music industry sucks today.

[stalls17]

The Voice

[SonicridersZGfan13]

[Oddjob1177]

Jerry maguire :-)

[myzamyza]

[avenuebay]

[Nathanrailfan]

@avenuebay the girl is Devon Jenkin.

[marcus61194]

you guys should check out my cover if you get the chance

[tahribat09]

is this the real american life ? lol

[flaillomanz]

Could I interest you in some fine leather jackets? ;-)

[rainbowmai4]

My friend died Tuesday from Leukemia this was her favorite song. I've been listening to is a lot the past few days it reminds me of her.

[ultrabrougham]

@rainbowmai4 My heart beats in sympathy with yours. Stay strong, Stay Well.

[ElMattador]

I think Tom Petty is much like Bob Dylan, he write awesome music and songs, but other people perform them better. My opinion.

[luisenoSD]

@ElMattador I suspect you're a john mayer fan?

[ElMattador]

@luisenoSD I am, although the first cover that I heard was here comes my girl by Relient K and I think I just prefer Matt Thiesen's voice over Petty's, preference I guess.

[evilyakko]

@ElMattador You have quite the taste for bland generic musicians.

[ElMattador]

@evilyakko Make some suggestions if you wish, I'm always open to new music, although I'm not sure how you're guaging my music taste from only two artists.

[succeedorbleed01]

Either tom or john its a good song

[DouggieFresh500]

AND I'm FREE BALLING!!!

[JordanM246]

AkSpartanKiller brought me here....

And I'm FREEEEEE, Freee falliiiiing!

[stretchedd]

John mayer's version cant even compare to this one IMO. John lacks the passion and power tom brings to this song, especially in the chorus.

[viktor4036]

Lesson 1-Free Fallin'

Lesson 2-Learning To Fly

[succeedorbleed01]

I like john Mayer's version better

[alkumbal]

@succeedorbleed01 Cool

[BluePedal]

There's no way in real life that The Robert Smith Street Gang is standing up to the Low Riders.

[crustytowel]

looks like a chick at the start. just sayin

[marcusgbg100]

He´s the man!!!!!! and the heartbreakers is the best band in the world!

[Cnstar10]

I play this when my minecraft glitches and I fall into nothing

[dafun908]

He looks like Steve Nash....

[Allow003]

OMG.. 2:52 FUCKING HOT!!! Wish girls today could skateboard AND wear those seriously SEXY clothes! Damn that's HOT AS HELL! Makes playboy look like a teenagers magazine!

[yoshatabi]

Fucking hate these AD'S!!

[zubld]

Thumbs up if this reminds you of Jerry Maguire! too.

[zubld]

songs like this are why i love MUSIC.

[93xrocks24]

Cant a guy just click on a damn video and watch it without these fucking stupid ass ads?

[pedrobaumbach]

He is ugly as hell...

[natty71991]

I didn't think I was gonna like it, bc I listen to John Mayer's version... BUT this one makes as sad as JM's version ='(

[Shykidsimon]

This song it remain my someone pass way long time ago. He was my buddy he use call me that. Good song

[cornwallaces]

have you seen how ugly tom petty is no offence to his music its awsome just my opinion

[evilyakko]

@cornwallaces well it was back in the day when looks didn't matter, now we have half decent auto-tuned singers with good looks, because the new generation is shallow and has a shit ear for music. its such a shame. Ill take an ugly amazing musician over a half arsed hot one any day. its music, i listen to it. not look at it.

[93xrocks24]

@evilyakko well said

[MEANCRACKEN2]

@evilyakko very well spoken. :)

[TheSpearMintGirl]

RYAN BRADFORD'S COVER OF THIS IS AWESOME! ;D Check It Out Dude's!

-AniqhaBlob <3

[emmadrayton]

[timepope]

[Priority2012]

All credit to tom for writing this song but unfortunately John Mayer's cover makes this look sooooo old!!

[wkdowntheblock1]

i just realized that the beginning of this song is kinda creepy

[rdhdpbo530]

Petty is king.

[djale1992]

I wish I was born at that epoc

[trumpeteer9]

This clip is hilarious . . . super cool skating outfit :P

[InnerSentry]

[yuexkyo2]

@Arkipelago2 part of it is her eyes... like looking into puss in boots' eyes.

[Edge0fPain]

Scout.

BONK.

[roosevelthighschool]

NOONE can do this better than Tom Petty.

[SergentWoody1988]

TOM PETTY IS # 1

[DjJiggyzzVEVO]

Petty: Amazing writer of the song

Mayer: Amazing coverer of the song

Done deal. Stfu.

[bigwig2222]

:foreveralone:

[thebee18]

HAHAH the fact EVERY comment is about john mayer kinda says something, don't ya think?

[evilyakko]

@thebee18 The same reason so many people comment about Justin Beiber.

[brandonlandon]

@thebee18 Yeah, that Petty fans care about how shit Mayer made the song.

[evilyakko]

I didnt know who did the origional and first i looked up the john mayer one n was like wtf is this.

[grimreaperv6]

Jhon mayer sucks,there I said it

[xxhailybabexx]

FUCK ALL YOUR OPINIONS,

JOHN MAYER DID A GOOD COVER TOO.

WE ALL KNOW NOTHING SOUNDS AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL.

NOW STFU & STOP INSULTING JOHN MAYER BECAUSE ALL HE DID WAS COVER THE SONG NOT DESTROY IT.

[ohboyhey2k4]

@xxhailybabexx All anybody sees when they look at that comment is a crybaby 12 year old girl spewing retarded all caps sentences.

[xxhailybabexx]

@ohboyhey2k4 I'm 17, get your facts straight before sterotyping. 17 year olds can be immature too (;

[XxGunBlasterxX360]

Prefer this one over John Mayers.

[Paratrooper177]

I love this song but I don't necessarily love Jesus.

[KingsFlyersHabs]

it's weird.....petty looks kinda hot in this vid......

[ToughBananasJack]

@KingsFlyersHabs He's 1,000 times hotter than John Mayer.

[KingsFlyersHabs]

@ToughBananasJack lol agreed.

[GreenmanXIV]

Me I just love this song.

[KayAteGummyBears]

I chose this song for my guitar song to learn cuz its a good song and its easy to play :)

[PixiefanpireP]

how about we just agree that this guy is a genius for writing it and that John Mayer can do whatever the fuck he wants and everyone can have their own opinion on it. Personally, i think John Mayer is kind of a genius too. And he makes love to this song. just sayin'.

[smakcruiser1]

@PixiefanpireP John Mayer sounds like a nasally faggot...

[PixiefanpireP]

@smakcruiser1 I'm delighted to hear your opinion, although it seems to be a completely foreign concept to you. You should probably add the 'I think that:' to your offensive and grammatically incorrect opinions. I think John's version just sounds more nostalgic and has more depth than this version, but I love both. Have a good life! :)

[BlackStarKeepShining]

@PixiefanpireP What does John Mayer have to do with anything?

[Scottles293]

this piss head loves this song

[NativeEagle7]

i listen to this when i am sad

[1MayaM1]

I like The Almost's cover of this :)

[indiodormido]

I like Tom Petty´s rock because is simple and deep at the same time.

[85wex]

@200219888 what tab?

[czech698]

wwwgreatbuyoutletscom wwwtopfuelsavercom Above

the mouth a well-shaped nose, finely aquiline. Eyes large, lustrous, and

dark, with the largeness, luster, and darkness that seem to invite sties

and an occasional bloodshot suffusion. They were fine eyes, but unchang-

ingly grave. The penholder might do its Gioconda trick, but the eyes

never altered in their earnestness. Above them, a pair of boldly arched,

heavily penciled black eyebrows lent a surprising air of power, as of a

Roman matron,

[Wayfarer8]

Simple and genius song

[MrRight517]

who is the girl at 2:45 she is just amazingly beautiful 

[brindfan]

@MrRight517 Devon Jenkins, AKA Devon Kidd

[xXBrizziXx]

@MrRight517 its the same girl thats been in the whole video.

[flakona1]

finally words !!!! AWESOME!

[suzannetheturdtapper]

This is BoomHauer.

[darkmark7732]

Last words........ Great song!

[Tekfragmantic]

Did anybody notice that the girl with the pink top has a camel toe at ; 2:40

[Theplayer69x]

291 people aren't free falling

[ninelivecat]

Tom Petty playing Isle Of Wight music festival in England Will have to get a ticket

[TerribleTasha13]

I definitely like the Punk Goes Classic Rock version, or even the John Mayer's version is okay, but I LOVE the original version by Tom Petty. <3

[Frenchfry147]

Lol why would anyone prefer any other version besides this? That just seems crazy to me

[ihatewestlifesince99]

Only teenage girls or fags like John Mayer's version. Tom Petty's original does it for me

[Jamelejecutivo]

i prefer the john mayer version

[Jamelejecutivo]

i prefer the john mayer version



[MrUnknownVariable]

@firebat128 You know, I was going argue with you.... But I really don't want to see you top your bigotry.

[Deathklash]

Vegard leite - free falling. norwegian idol... nice version, not like this but very good

[UKsFootballFactory]

Omg... i wouldn't have LOVED this song if it weren't for my dad constantly playing it when i was a kid ! :D

[BrookeStylinson7]

I like John Mayer's better he has more depth and emotion and he hits the high note beautifully!! but i do also love this, but everyone has their own opinon :) amazing song!

[tompetty1976]

@BrookeStylinson7 Too bad when Mayer is singing it, he isn't even projecting properly like a proper vocalist. He's singing it through his nose, which turns me off as being very unprofessional.

[jesamani75]

Fuck john mayer this is the shit.

[TheBob0416]

@FlagDropped John Mayer sounds like a dying cow! Tom Petty sings it best!!!

[ian27293]

@TheBob0416

I know, right?!!

He can't reach the high note in "free fallin'" so he completely changes it!

HE CHANGES THE BEST PART OF THE SONG!!!

What a turd!

[tehdominator17]

@TheBob0416 I'm getting tired of people going ape shit over john mayers cover. Its a nice cover, and he chose to sing this song because he respects it. Like if this is a good song no matter who sings it.

[MammothBallz]

@TheBob0416 no need to be so fucking rude about it, John did an excellent cover of this song but he didn't sound like a dying cow. Tom is obviously the best one because its the original.

faggot

[ciorocker]

@MammothBallz the bob gots reason, noone can sings it like tom petty

[TheBob0416]

@MammothBallz Faggot? Really? Wow! That hurt! :'( LOL!!!!! John Mayor can't sing! End of story!! OK?

[djjazzyjeff123]

@TheBob0416 Ya'll are idiots arguing about something like this.

[TheBob0416]

@djjazzyjeff123 Thanks! :)

[brazamfi92]

@TheBob0416 definitally not!

[MacDaddyj20]
