@theultrawolf I don't know. it always reminds me of a girl I really digg. However, she is held back by her family situations and also doesn't feel the same way about me. So I kind of find it sad, but not a depressing sad... if that makes sense at all.
Having said that , I absolutely love this song , Angel Dream no. 2 , and Louisiana Rain , among others. What are your favorite Tom Petty songs? I like to check 'em out if I haven't heard them before. Anyone?
currently it´s "dreamville" ; american girl,straight into darkness, free fallin´ , learning to fly are my all time faves, but he has many great songs, it´s hard to name the best ones. a lot of his songs - like wildflowers - make you dream of another way of life and a kind of freedom that is waiting for us someday^^ (if you really enter into the song´s atmosphere). whie listening to these songs there is no doubt that one day i´ll learn to fly ;-) that feeling is awesome
@lostioz95 You're right. It is an awesome feeling. Sometimes the music gives you a glimpse of something different , more peaceful but I can't help but wish for it now. I get homesick sometimes sitting in my own house. I'm glad you mentioned it though. I'd be terrified I was just dreaming. Thanks.
I love how you can go through Tom Petty songs and all the talk is about how much you love/live/breathe the music , and inspiring stories that keep you going just a little longer. Thank you guys and girls. Keep it up. That's how it should be.
When my grandma passed away, my mum asked if I would play a song at her funeral. I remember walking, thinking what I could play and nothing on my MP3 inspiring me. When this song came on, I knew that it was the perfect one to say goodbye to her. That was many years ago now. This is my first time listening to it since then. It's just so... Beautiful.
An acquaintance of me said she dreamed that we were together in a class that she had taken with me weekly, while we worked together, before she was laid off. And she sang this song to me. I wept when I read her message, amazed that someone who knew me so scarcely would see me so clearly in this way. Everyone who's commented here has had such poignant, beautiful, and timeless things to say. I'm 50 years old, and in love with Tom Petty all over again. And with you all, too. Thank you.
I love Rick Rubin's production that reminds me a lot of his work with Johnny Cash. Tom Petty has always had the gift to work gifted producers (Jimmy Lovine, Jeff Lynne, George Drakoulias etc...)
what a great song to play for someone who has passed away. we all have such a short time here... james must have been special and was lucky to have such a wonderful friend... r.i.p. james.
I've been searching for a song for hours to fit a video I'm making. I didn't even really know what I was looking for, and I was about to give up. This song is so perfect, it's exactly the right fit. :) And I listened to Tom Petty a lot in the 80's but I've never heard this one. Thanks so much for posting!
this song came out shortly after my bestfriend killed herself I always relate this song to the beauty she deserved but did not think she was entilted too
I just raped the replay button.
