[0917gva]

I 'gotta say I Love the sound of this song. He has a lot of great songs, but I have to say this one would be at the top of my list. Thanks for this post.

[janenguy2011]

[72vegaproject]

5 people had a breakdown time when the disliked this

[SentinelPhoenix]

5 Assholes. What's with all the assholes recently? In the past month alone, there have been 4 more assholes added to the asshole list.

[smokeyabones]

2 anusholes are bound to turn into 4 anusholes



[jaymadiro1]

You cant compare the two they were two different styles. One was a safe and laid back style and one was cutting edge shaped the modern music of today

[dougrmoe]

[mwmeighen]

Thumbs up if its alright! :)

[jessyemcvane]

this is groovin

[kbrace11]

i listen to this song when i get stressed...tom's voice melts mi heart :)

[professorllama]

I can't decide whether I love or hate the fact that this song is under three minutes long. On the one hand it's distilled, to the point, and friggen awesome. On the other, some elaboration in the solos would be great... and who couldn't jam to this for ten minutes?

[jennyinwaiting]

@professorllama yeh i thought the same thing. I could probably listen to the intro on repeat for quite a while

[joerusch]

i bet the one guy that disliked this song did it because he wanted to see all of your funny dumbass remarks.

[Kingrob30]

@joerusch ur prolly right.

[dbrandinni]

Tom petty is fucking awesome... He was rockin before I was born and still rockin today, and fuck that one guy who disliked... he must like rap or some such shit

[Tompettylady601]

@dbrandinni cool yeah he still is rocking after 36 years he will rock 4 ever love you tom petty he is so awesome

[IvelLlehctim]

@Tompettylady601 well years of doing coke will give anyone alot of energy LOL

[Tompettylady601]

@IvelLlehctim not cool still love thomas earl petty 4 life he never touch drugs get your facts straighten out lol

[mouse12345ify]

Amazing,,,, thank God for Tom Petty classic..... happy 2011

[zybeco]

The Best

[Law12389]

This song's great but please STFU about someone not liking it you fascists, even if they really didn't like it (which I doubt), it shouldn't matter, it's called a difference of opinion. Fuck.

[kda987]

[kwynceelove]

[Jorge27710]

[BellaGypsy1982]

[iwasntevenhere]

@baserunner295 I hear Bieber fever can make you do crazy things.

[pullbackbaby]

@baserunner295 Me the uploader blocked embedding and let them run ads. As bad or worse than vevo.

[maclennan73]

Amazingly sexy song from a great debut album, his delivery is so slinky and the band just ooze charisma, plus backing singers....wow is there anything better!!

[xxxImtheshitxx]

Sexiest song ever.

[jakelhamon]

[neilybaby123]

[slash9217]

when i was like 8 or 9 years old my dad got a huge tom petty collection for christmas, it completely changed my life.

[theZodiacDigital]

why does he have that accent? your eyes give you ay-way?

[Fasterthentime]

@theZodiacDigital cause hes a badass

[Slicegirl777]

@Fasterthentime Evidently you've never seen him in concert...

[klingoncelt]

@Slicegirl777 - Yeah, but listening to a recording of a live performance is like watching a fireworks display on a small tv - it's just not the same as being there. I prefer studio albums myself.

[zzz333v111]

Another underated band

[57roberts]

there is a documentary that bogdonavich did on TP which if u have not seen it u must. it will blow yur mind. im not saying he is better than the beatles or Led Zep,but u cant deny he is most xclent.luv fr.the getgo. anything he does is allright! and i am freefalling &listening to my heart. been with him since the beginning, 4ever in blue jeans

[gergelyszepp]

Check out The Beatles - In My Life song's drum pattern.

[xhellabentx]

zero dislikes... :)

[gunn2040]

great song

[HawaiianBaanger]

i remember this song it was back in the day when caveman rome the earth lol i love it

[pietrosammarco]

this tune is quite Elvis Costello... never noticed that before

[chrishouchins49]

@pietrosammarco - Yeah I totally agree very much Elvis Costello!

[WolfBaboonInc]

I love this song

[kimberkiki]

sometimes when i hear this my left foot gets really sore and then i need to massage it for hours and then miraculously the pain subsides...then i eat chocolate and i feel like i have just been on a roller coaster for hours...

[jeff2235]

@kimberkiki Kimberkiki, I hope you don't take offense when I express my opinion that that's a very unusual reaction to this song. When I listen to it, I get the sensation of centipedes crawling up and down my legs in combination with the faint aroma of sassafras. This is the normal reaction to this music. You may want to seek a doctor of some kind.

[BassmanisBA]

@jeff2235 This comment deserves the most thumbs-up.

[SWEETMUSIC654]

this song is the song of my breakup.. and as tom best put it, its alright.<3

[devan12100]

I <3 TOM PETTY ;)

[huhuh9]

"Something inside you is feeling like I do... we've said all there is to say"

[sanyopro700]

[Gigglesrox95]

[sofie0andrea]

your taste for music is rapidly improving!

[K1ll3rM4st3r]

good song

[predator1398]

great song =] good quality...this is how tom petty should be listened too

[2consul]

The fewer steps that are recorded digitally, the better it will sound in the end.

[2consul]

Note that computer recording has destroyed much of the incentive to become an excellent musician. So many of today's bands are 'created' in a pc and cannot cut it live. To their credit, a few producers and a few bands use ProTools merely as a recording and mixing device, not a fix-all crap tool.

[2consul]

To all of you fans of digital recording. This was an analog recording to a Stephens machine. Even in this mediocre mp3 version, it smokes anything in the top 10 today, in terms of clarity and depth, size and detail. AND, the band played every note, no samples, no cut and paste, none of the time wasting that goes on all over the world today. Get an original LP of this and then go out and buy a two-inch American-made machine. All of them smoke the Studers sonically.

[pjsbabycakes87]

Tom Petty is one of my favorites of all time. There is nothing like getting a good buzz, sitting with some friends, and puting on some Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers to jam to. I have been to a lot of concerts and I have to say that he is so great that I had to go see him twice. Awesome artist, awesome performer, awesome musician, awesome song writer.

[TheFunkyPistols]

i love this song heard it for the first time today. love toms voice!!

[capnjack1243]

i seen petty bout 6 times

[bobvar]

My favorite Tom Petty song!!!!

[14LexXx]

itz alrite if u luv itz alrite if u dnt thiz my jam...i played it on my gutair...

[jppless1]

This is in my top five.

[Brettyb24]

To those whining about modern music, you're just not looking in the right places. Yeah, Justin Bieber blows, but so did most 80s power ballads or new wave or disco. It doesn't mean there isn't good stuff still out there. If you want to hear new good music, be proactive and go find it instead of acting like classic versus modern is a legitimate musical distinction.

[bizmyth]

What's awesome about this song, is it really has a bluesy feeling to it. And what people don't realize, is that before the beatles, before the elvis type, there was true rooted blues. You don't hear any pure blues anymore on the radio, because we've all taken it for granted.

[rachel7036]

they are always great...:D

[onealracer21]

love this song

[nickosharp]

seriously phenomal song, takes a hold of your soul son.

[modtbod]

You know, I've read a lot of these comments, and I can't help but agree that when we introduced Beiber and GaGa and Eminem, We ruined what Tom Petty, Rush, and the Beatles had set up; an amazing collection of music. Too bad it's ruined by the modern crap where 'variaty' means 3 songs played over and over untill you gag. Such as the craphole song "Your love is my drug"

[Elijames21]

@modtbod you know you are right when u say that. even tho i really hate the beatles they do deserve a lot of credit for starting most the good music.

[modtbod]

@Elijames21 Thank you for realizing that modern musicis like a Korean car. Lots of people like it just 'cus it's cheap. However, there are those who would rather have something classic and much better in styling, economy and speed. It's the same thing as music.

[Elijames21]

@modtbod if u look on my channel i have 12 modern songs 3 of them i like the rest are random crap i added for views but some people like it so ill put it up. but im gonna add the whole mojo album on my channel

[evmister94]

@modtbod rush blows my cock

[JoyandDaniel2610]

i love this song

[HeyDufus]

Real music here! What a concept! Not that Lady Gagme, Justin Bieber crap that monopolizes the airway these days!

[petmis]

in the sventies thy knew how to do great music...

[tilley014]

amzing seeing him live this year

[wamouse]

Favorite classic rock song of all time, along with Spirit In The Sky. Just flawless.

[shad0h027]

Think it came out around '76 but plenty of people were still getting stoned to it in '84 so I guess it's all true :)

[gorgeoustxwoman]

This is the only video here, of this song, with good quality sound. One of my favorite of his songs too.

[RipvanBongBowl420]

its weird, but this song always reminds me of Janis....

[IxLOVExMARIJUANA]

90's baby getting stoned with 80's music :)

[shad0h027]

@IxLOVExMARIJUANA 70's, but it's all good.

[IxLOVExMARIJUANA]

@shad0h027 70's!!! dang!! my dad told me about this song lol. he said he use to get high to this in 84' thats why i thought it was 80's but thank u (: for correcting me!

[ixlovexemoxboys0]

this is the most amazing song ever :D

[igunzOsick]

ahhhh to be stoned 24/7

[drumlord420]

One of the greatest guitar riffs ever recorded! Amazing band and song!

[MermaidMystery]

could you add the lyrics below the video box?

[pam101dalmatians]

breakdown go ahead and give it to me

[odilita88]

the other day i was at work transferring a client to some department, and they put me on hold and this song was playing. waay better than that "elevator music" crap if you want my opinion :)

[ChAUNcEy7BILLups]

this song is amazing!

[brycet93]

does anyone have the whole frickin song!!! in dcently good quaality!!!

[comequietlytothecamp]

This is the whole song......in good quality.

[hanaysex]

Why don't you just go buy the damn album if you really want to hear the song...or is it not "hip to your style"?

[Fasterthentime]

@comequietlytothecamp yeah the live ones get annoying

[mic187x2]

i remember trying to get as many versions of this song as possible. how many are there?

[jayniesgottagun]

Put &fmt=18 on the end of the URL. Great stereo upload. Sure takes me back.
