[Fawkes397]

[wowdmaw]

i sit here, reminiscing on life, thinking of whether or not i "learned to fly" over the years....and you know what? i think i did learn to fly, but when i hear petty bring these words to life, i just break down in happiness, because no one on earth, not even the greek gods, could make this song sound as beautiful as petty has...you are the man, and i love listening to your voice...you bring a smile to my face, and lift my spirits...thank you for your music, rock on!!!!!!!!!!

[GMAN8407]

[Drumkid945]

This song is about a guy who jumped off a building...I'm guessing.

[boris2japan]

Always makes my heart soar.

[Jarrod5300]

If they played this song on airplanes some people might think that the pilot is just learning to fly lol

[MrPman851]

This is my FAV of Tom and the Heartbreakers' 90's tunes!

[goku569]

10 people are afraid to fly!

[T5radioop]

Well the good old days may not return.  True, but they were sure good back then.

[jordyuk88]

@T5radioop Couldn't agree more

[kashmarification]

@T5radioop great comment!

[johnbruder01]

@T5radioop agreed. however, i believe that is why tom says "the rocks might burn and the seas may burn. furthermore, he says, and more importantly, so I started out out 4 god knows where GUESS I KNOW WHEN I GET THERE

[autoshutdownpower]

[jphiliprogers56]

ezbreezy187: Interesting comment. I think that your "buddhist-like" interpretation of Tom Petty is plausible and it, may, in fact, be a better approach to life than the Existentialist one that I suggest (that point is open to debate). But, whatever approach is better in life, I still maintain that the philosophy that underines Petty's lyrics is closer to Albert Camus' - especially to Dr. Rieux in The Plague than he is to say, Peter Matthiessen.....The best illustration is I Won't Back Down."

[bigfloseph]

i smoked weed with tom petty in hollywood ca  very chilled and laid back guy back in 97

[zielak1110]

[MouthOfTheUnknown]

[Gregoriusssss]

[iceimprange]

[wysiwyg248]

I relate this song to Ayrton Senna, the great F1 pilot who died in San Marino.

Every time I hear it, a tear is gone. RIP Ayrton.

[MrBakerfield]

I LIKE THIS HUMAN

[BholeViolater]

@MrBakerfield I LIKE THIS HUMAN, TOO!!!

[nagee76]

[marks1979efc]

How the hell can you not like this awesome song...?? Looks like 8 of you needs LEARNING TO FLY !!

[crookhunter]

@marks1979efc, thats real original. Why does everybody have to use those same cliches with the number of people who disliked the video. 21 drones followed your lemming comment

[ThundurusWalkthrough]

@marks1979efc People have their own opinions

[TheChasty]

learning to sing and play it.... love this song a lot. 

[PutASmileUp]

I'm learning to fly but I got no wings.

[billslover90]

Yup. Existentialist. Just like me. 

[MrJapaneseboy1111]

its amazing to me that there are people out there that dont like this music !

its amazing to me !

must be terrorists or somthing realy fucked up.

[steveovt]

As I sit here I now realize the good old days are all that matters.

[MiracleSoulFlyer]

@steveovt Sometimes it's easier to believe this is true.... But the times now matter too. No matter how bad your life may seem it's now... Because now, now is how we continue to learn who we are and where we always should have been headed. Now is the time we finally will get to stand and show the world even if they aren't smart enough to see.... that you will stand and the end doesn't matter. You are were you are because of those times and you should NEVER forget them either...Jump and be free.

[cachimator3]

increiblee cancion ..significa mucho para mi!!!!! es mi himno de libertad!!!!! wow!!

[twodudets123]

I love every song made by Tom Petty!

[mrsmarter27]

I LOVE TOM PETTY my fav songs r this one and last dance with mary jane ive known that one since i was 3!!!!!!

[alphazombieelite]

this song (even though its about him getting high if u want to know how i know just message me AND PLEASE DO ILL TELL U!) is GREAT I LOVE TOM PETTY!

[johnbruder01]

"so i started out , for God knows where, guess I'll know when I get there." Never did I think these lyrics would have a deeper meaning. the older i get, the more i understand....dear God i turned into my Dad. how did this happen????

[casimere]

I could hear this song a 1000 times and never get tired of it!

[metallica76311]

when i was little, i some how got into tom petty and this was my favorite song. for the past five years, ive been a severe metal head. just heard this on the radio and it gave me a warming feeling inside. im learning to fly.

[SgtCrom]

@metallica76311, I'm a big metalhead myself but I always go back to the music from my pre-metal days when I need to recharge my spirit. Fly high, brotha'.

[NatureMusician]

YEAH!!!

[PooP368]

i LOVE THIS SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[17NJDevilsfan]

8 retarded people will never understand what great music is.

[HrcWhitey]

@17NJDevilsfan Great music is a point of view.

You may say it's great to take it in the ass every single day by some gimp.... Doesn't mean it's subject to others to agree with what you say.

Ignorant comment is ignorant.

nonetheless it's a good song... you're just an idiot.

[17NJDevilsfan]

@HrcWhitey Oh yeah? Well if my comment is ignorant than why is it the second top comment on here? I must not be an idiot. You are the idiot trying to belittle me.

[HrcWhitey]

@17NJDevilsfan Dude have you even seen the large amount of anti-intellectualism that YouTube congregates.

The reason you are second rated comment is because you took the stupid " #of dislikes & referenced to the video " meme and in turn the conformist's who concede it to be funny thumbed up your comment.

You took no originality in your comment, you are an idiot.

[17NJDevilsfan]

@HrcWhitey You probbably the only one that thinks that. The user above me in the highest rated comments must be an idiot too right? You are talking non sense here, do something constructive with your life because no one will agree with your opinion on my top comment. Not one normal person is going to. You done?

[HrcWhitey]

@17NJDevilsfan His comment is exactly the same as yours. So what i said is equal for him.

Nobody's normal, if you think that you've just proved every word I've said.

Conform to the ideology of others some more...

[17NJDevilsfan]

@HrcWhitey Look. What do you want from me?

My comment is not ignorant and you are the only one that thinks so. Why do you have a problem with it? I simply was saying, everyone is entitled to their own opinion...People that clicked the dislike button are dumb because there is nothing dislikeable about this awesome music and most normal people would agree.

If you are a pop music fan, go listen to pop music videos instead of looking for reasons to be a jerk on here.

Nobody is normal?

[HrcWhitey]

@17NJDevilsfan Just contradicted yourself. Seems like you mean everyone is entitled to their own opinion when it coincides with yours.

people have a right to dislike something that's why it's there. Maybe they clicked on this because it was in the suggestions, maybe someone referred it to them and didn't like it.

Nobody is normal... What people perceive as "Normal" is what society & politicians brainwash you to believe. These are other peoples ideas...

[17NJDevilsfan]

@HrcWhitey

This is the last time I am responding to you. I didn't contadict myself. I meant everyone is entitled to their opinion and yeah some people may have discovered this and disliked this awesome music, what is there to dislike about this music? Nothing. So there's my point that only stupid people would dislike this awesome rock music here.

Disliking this awesome music is like saying someone doesn't like vanilla ice cream. People would have to be crazy to not like ice cream.

[17NJDevilsfan]

@HrcWhitey now please do something constructive with your life because I am done wasting my time talking to a non sense person like you

[HrcWhitey]

@17NJDevilsfan Vanilla ice cream is plain and boring.

[17NJDevilsfan]

@HrcWhitey WTF does that mean?

[blueeloveer]

I Love this, this was my uncle's Favorite song, along with free fallin' . I listen to this all the time now as my uncle is no longer with us :( </3

[HamSamCreations]

This is what i call music!
