Jeez, what is it with your Tom Petty v John Mayer comments? Tom Petty totally kicks ass in this song and he gets extra credit for writing it sure, but John Mayer is a very talented musician in his own right and his version ain't half bad. And he's a Tom Petty fan so shh.
I had to post.. I've just heard Mayers version for the first time, and I agree with those of you here who say that TOM PETTY ROCKS THIS SONG! end of!!!
its a she btw, i think, and she said john mayers an amature when i said its just my opinion and i like him better . she directed the response to me meaning she wanted to tell me that . if she didnt direct the comment to anyone then that would mean shes no saying im wrong .
@sim0nat0r but she cant contradict what i was saying by saying im wrong .. to her i might be but i dont think so . yu could think that if yu want but that doesnt change my opinion .
@DoingYourMom16 you said you liked john mayers better. jessie said john mayer doesn't compare as he is an amature. then you said he cant tell you you are wrong because its your opinion, when he did not tell you that you were wrong in the first place.
@shanenorberg i have a 17 year old sister that loves the cover from john mayers, but once i showed her this song, she fell in love, and she said that john mayor sucks compared to tom petty, and right then and there i relized, she has good taste in music...ohyeahhhhhhh
@SerenityIsTheMan I prefer John Mayer's version. Tom Petty is brilliaint. But because of the way John Mayer interpreted it and the way his voice is, made it sound better.
This song came out back when I was in Paramedic school, and a Paramedic friend of mine was killed in a helicopter crash. They flew a helicopter over the grave site, at his funeral, and one of his young daughters pointed up, and said Daddy! Since that day, every time i hear this song, it puts into perspectives this song, and that day.

are you guys high!!? John's version has way more soul. Tom's unmelodically talking then shouting at us. The guitar work is much more pronounced in the new version. But i'll give credit were due, it was the original so he didn't have to compare with anything.
tom and john's versions are almost different songs altogether. Can't you just say they both sound good rather than one has to beat the other.

:/ srly man... john mayer sings better than this guy :/... thats all i have to say.... u have to be deaf not to hear it... and john mayer cover is acoustic... thats the difference. so oviously the music in this is more complex. but to be an acoustic cover... johns cover sounds quite good and he sings a lot better than tom :/. it is tru that tom has all the credit for making the song but i rather listen johns than this :/
@HASHlRAMA You don't ask Tom Petty to talk, he tells you to stfu and listen. Tom Petty is above you and you will never amount sexually to what his fingers alone have done to wimminz.
well they are 2 different types of musicians john did a really good cover of this song in his style. tom is still really good and it shows because john made a cover to it how many years later?
i like this song i would like this song at my weeding in the future
