Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Learning to Fly

[njwojo]

Fool,Bob Dylan said petty is one of the best song writers of our time..they toured together for long time and Dylan asked the heartbreakers to be his band while they toured

[clickswitchh]

[Tugluv]

I WAS THERE LIVE....NOTHING WILL EVER MATCH THE FEELING OF HUNDREDS CHANTING THIS SONG IN HIS HOMETOWN :D

[mayanlongcount1]

one of the best men on the planet from what i know of him. for god knows where. guess i will know when tom gets there. dig it.

[daslayer886]

@Mookdi17

You haven't been to any of Tom petty's concerts? That's unfortunate, I'm only 14 and I've been to 2 of em one in 2008 one in 2010

[Mookdi17]

im 18, i havent seen it all.. but to be at this concert singing like everyone in the stands, has to be one of the greatest experiences you can have through life. Tom Petty is amazing.

[stephenhynes]

Genius

[Jmangan412]

Fucking amazing i cannot get over it

[rebeccie2u]

I love you Dana. You will always be missed

[JazzyDave]

Incredible. 

[satsh12naruto2]

13 People don´t know how to Fly

[veryeclectic]

almost spiritual

[slipmat2020]

Please come to England! i will pay every cent of my hard earned dollar to see you.

[wiktorpavel]

Does anyone know what this song is all about? I mean is it a deep meaning? or just that he actually is learning to fly? I'm just curious..

Gotta love this song! Great version, one of the best!

[JenR1]

@wiktorpavel Do you mean is he actually learning to fly emotionally, intellectually, spiritually in life? If so, yes, all of those. This song is very deep. And, that's why everyone can relate. And also because we all FINALLY learn to get to a high within our own bodies where we feel good about ourselves and then we have to come back down to earth and realize we have financial responsiblilties, etc. Back to reality.

[railoxyallnite]

@JenR1 he is also singing about addiction to coke. Back in the 80's

[JenR1]

@railoxyallnite Oh I was certain he was singing about being high on some drug or another just didn't want to put that in, you know how some people get. Interesting to know it was coke. He did have a bad habit with that one. Thank goodness that's over. Now I think he just mainly does weed.

[61lcp]

@railoxyallnite PEOPLE! I know ,have lived,worked and toured with many,many famous musicians.....NOT EVERY SONG IS ABOUT DRUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

[furiousphoenix77]

Goosebumps...all over my body... :-)

[mickeihs]

@furiousphoenix77 bra rapporterat

[rbNNNN]

The other day I compared Tom Petty to Johnny Depp and she said "no Johnny Depp is way better looking". I told her you dont need to look good to make peoples ear vaginas come.

[CaptainPrad]

My most favorite song of all time. I'm curious to know, does anybody know why he performs it acoustically nowadays rather than the full version with drums and everything?

[25taiku]

@CaptainPrad This may just be his version of the song. producers can impact a song's sound a lot, which sometimes masks what the original artist wants... Either way, a great song. Gives me shivers :)

[ZakTheEvil]

Holly cow, that's Stevie Nicks in the back! What an awesome version of this song!

[mguy03]

this is why tom petty is the best.

[jeremylater]

i really have to wonder, how could anyone not like Tom Petty? Such a special treat he brings to life.

[Inuyasha6594]

Tom pettys music is a mix of rock and roll and several other genres with sensibilities of a true singer/songwriter. For 30 years their music has defied any simple categorization, but is outlaw in spirit and has influenced many of todays leading artists in the contemporary alternative country movment.

[tomigaal]

when you found fantastic, it is yours... indepedently how old are you ;-)

[mmusicislovee]

love it

[Orizest]

wheels, foo fighters? ô.o

[lostwhirley]

I miss when songs and singers actually sang...

[MrPurplecrayoneater]

@lostwhirley ?

[FreaksterXXX]

and such a great song

[noerlund75]

hmm.. only listened to Learning to fly and free fallin´ love em both so oda listen to the rest, i´m sure there are more from him that i would love :D

[megamosh0815]

[KeeYaBitch]

Benmont Kicks Ass  in his Solo!

[Qdrum803]

[billsurf101]

Great music transends generations, what is great was, is, and shall be forever...!!!! Tom Petty is a legend....

[dipt64]

10 times better live than the real version. Seen him live twice and will see him again no one is a better performer than tom petty !

[nskaren]

One of the best,but maybee not so credited for his carriere like he should have got. But Tom Petty is a name who will be played everyday worldwide.

[DepecheModeMa]

Oh i love it, i need it! Music with so much feelings....it´s fantastic :)))))

[sam22545]

you know you're good when stevie nicks does back up vocals for you

[tarheels4897]

[tarheels4897]

[KeeYaBitch]

I love Benmonts Playing  @ 1:53.

[chestetd]

this is so amazing. it brings tears to my eyes. i've loved tom petty ever since i got his greatest hits tape when i was about 3 years old

tom petty and the heartbreakers are the best band there ever was and/or will be

[aceofspoons]

is the drummer (steve i think) miming or does he just hav perfectly invisable drum sticks?

[KeeYaBitch]

@aceofspoons He does that sometimes, I noticed that to.

[dalee18]

@aceofspoons he's got little shakers in his hands

[busheytube]

I love this variation the way the piano player performed the bridge instead of the guitar to which we're all accustomed to hearing.

[sitdownstar]

Greatness on display from one of the longest lasting class acts in the business. Going to see him in August!

[busheytube]

@sitdownstar - That's awesome. I'd love to see him once in concert. This song brings back great memories from my college days.

[bankamanka]

gooood song !

[coldwave007]

This song really reminds me a lot of Tracy Chapman's lyrical style. Very similar quality. Excellent either way!

[rhinodietz37]

the greatest American rock n roll band of all time. PERIOD

[bostonrodog]

@rhinodietz37 AGREED!!!!

[sunnybeach58]

I am staying up way toooo late listening to feel good music........so feel good when u listen to it too, will ya???

[hlev123]

how come theres only one good live quality version of this song on youtube, imo its tom pettys best single by far

[zakman11ify]

THIS SONG IS AMAZING

[rtom30]

So fantastic

[waldenarmy]

what a good crowd. it's what this guy deserves. just wow.

[agwoodliffe]

He should have had it so that the drums & the electric guitar crashes in on the final verse/chorus. Sounds great anyway though. He's still got it.

[TSANCHOPANZA]

Is that Stevie Nicks on backup vocals?

[Prunes42]

Yes thats Stevie Nicks. That year when he went on tour, she toured with him and sang a few songs with him. It was GREAT!

[rhinodietz37]

she only played select sites. As did others that including Pearl Jams front man Eddie vedder

[metaferi]

sorry, i didn't know english, but that song is unbelievable (wrong?).... God bless you.

[juanfco76]

Amo esta canción, Gretting from Chile

[utookmynameufuck]

Great version of the song!!

[jdmceach1]

Definitely my favorite Petty song! Love the way they arranged it in concert

[bobmarleyja]

Nothing like a Petty concert.

[magnetlocke]

@hreminiomanuel: it's the foo fighters who sound like tom ;) oh boy, this song is timeless ...

[Fexilus]

not my generation but  so fantastic

[Diedschej]

@Fexilus - my generation - I'm so proud! One of my favourites ever...

[unbekannte5]

@Fexilus so cheeeeeesy

[Nigelxman1]

@Fexilus Be glad it's not your generation. :-)

[Fexilus]

@Nigelxman1 hes got my grandpas age :P

[hreminiomanuel]

sounds like wheels from the foo fighters

[jonnybravo2001]

na mate other way round!

[701068]

If anything, Foo Fighters copied the general gist of this song for Wheels, but I don't buy that.

[RoboticToe]

I do, but I don't mind

[bob0208]

well dave grohl is a huge fan of petty and he even played wiht him on one of petty's shows

[thadeusgolas]

This is a great song.

[Familyguy1230]

god i love this live but i wish theyd do it like the studio version with the drums and everything. this is good though :D

[halokiller50]

bennetkiller - stpdog is right and nobody copied anybody because the FF song is a completely different song. I mean the name isnt even the same, the FF song is just "Learn to Fly" not "Learning to Fly". And i seriously doubt a legend like tom petty would need to copy from anyone, especially not FF, not that they arent a good band, they just arent nearlt as good as tom petty

[dlojist]

this song is good stuff (H). i don't care how old u are. epic music is just epic. iif i get a negative comment about that then just stfu!

[stpdog]

bennetkiller i hope ur kidding....this song is from 1991... long before the foo fighters you douche

[Jillz500]

1:51

Benmontench the 3rd does a very KICK ASS SOLO!

[jesusfro]

hahaha, wtf

[jamessmartbadger]

wow, that is splendid arena rock action

[davedavedavecowan]

the air apparent

[cindyshealed]

Tom & HBs = Greatest American Band.

[samstahh]

amazing song! <3

and easy to play along too

[vivalafoofighters8]

Wow Tom petty's amazing!!!!!!! And wheels by foo fighters does sound like this! In my opinion, this is alittle better!

[BBLapz]

Its a true testament to how good a musician is when they are better live than they are on their records. brilliant performance!

[jorge37325]

my preacher was friends with tom petty as a kid. he says all he would talk about was being a rock star, and now he is one!

[dessiefish]

ah,bless!

[atlantisb34]

[imabeliever81]

[Jetfan44]

Petty met Nicks while he was recording his group's album Damn The Torpedoes. So, obviously they're not related.

[mtbnosedive]

[swomac8199]

tom petty , great song!!! good feelin!!!!

[PinkFIoyd]

"Well I started out, down a dirty road

Started out, all alone

And the sun went down, as I crossed the hill

And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly, but I aint got wings

Comin down, is the hardest thing"

I just can't stop listening to this song.

[kotsos1978]

[Peonattack]

[WickaWhippet]

I love the way Tom and his audiences feed off each other. It's one of the things that makes his concerts so special.

[Burdensea]

His soul could light nations.

[pkgrz]

awesome

[ComplexKid441]

I love this new arrangement.

Reminds me of King's Highway, another Into the Great Wide Open song, actually, that sounds a little better acoustically than the way they did it on the album.

Don't get me wrong though, I like both versions, but you can't beat this. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous.

[freedog90]

Are you serious? Just because it doesn't sound the same, it is bad? I love this version along with most of the other live versions from Gainesville in 2006, they sound great.

But whatever, your opinion I suppose.

[JLeeHaven]

Did it ever occur to you that musicians tend to improvise instead of doing the song the same way 1000 times? He's playing to a live audience and receiving audience participation. That's what it's all about... If you want to here the studio version then listen to the CD...
