  • craps all over john mayer! sure he plays an incredible version. but if you want real emotion and connection to a song. go to the original. this is how the song was intended to be heard.

  • I like this version,, but sorry,, I LOVE john mayers version!!

  • This song makes me think of the Malon Ranch from the Zelda: Ocarina of Time game.

  • For some reason, this song makes me of the Malon Ranch from the Zelda: Ocarina of time Time game.

  • looking like a wrinkled toad in a straight jacket.

  • uhh your freeness concerns me. this voice should be LOCKED UP! >:O

  • umm i heard John Mayers version... and my ears were trained for beautifulness. then i heard this shizz. uhhh!? there is no competition, john is beast for life.

  • @spiderchikk1818 go listen to johns girly voice with no true emotion in it then if you like it so much.

  • Unoriginal. Don't be fooled.

    

  • freeeeeeeeeeee faaaaaaaaaaaaaalllin!!!

  • im free and i will fall with u!!!!!!!!

  • john mayer's version in so much better

  • when did he make this

  • I love this version. All the other ones completely ruined the mood of it

  • just thought i'd share this song....

  • massiccio

  • this is good, but i really do prefer John Mayer's version better. probably because i heard it first.

  • Thumbs up if Tom Petty is LEGEND 4EVER!!!!!!

  • original is the best no competition!

  • Okay how did John Mayer get into this. John Mayer should be shining Petty's shoes. Oh my gosh......Petty is a legend!

  • idk how people think john mayer sang this song better

  • @titans300229 They both sang it great. The only difference is that John Mayer took it slower. There's nothing wrong with that. And there's nothing wrong with Tom Petty's version either. I like both.

  • i think john mayer is a much better singer :)

  • I like the Toms Chorus better cuz theres more passion there. But i Think John Mayer is a better sing and he does the verse better.

  • i likee john mayers better

  • I chould barley listen to john mayer

  • @mjkl131 I could barley read your grammar.

  • The chorus in this original is the best :)

    but i like john mayers verses more than tom's (;

    just my opinion.

  • John mayer is a way better singer

  • JM's version is hands down completely shitting on this version i give him props for makeing this maybe it was soothing back in the day but JM stuck his foot in this song

  • john mayer did alot better

  • I like Tom's chorus better, but John's cover was better otherwise,

  • I think The Almost did a better cover.

  • is this the original version??

  • @melllau1 Original from vinyl album Full Moon Fever

  • Did you adjust the pitch on this song?

  • @dapianoguy07 No, straight from vinyl album.

  • @westlifehateclub From the vinyl...good man! Thanks for sharing, mate!

  • This song always relaxes me....and makes my day a better place no matter where I go

  • jhon meyer makes me sad

  • To be honest, I like John Mayer's cover better. I'm not saying this is bad. Just saying I like JM's version better.

  • i like john meyer version more

  • 0:00 to 0:34 so nice xD

  • first 34 sec is soo nice xD

  • Free fallin' now Im free fallin'.

  • Tom petty was the 2nd band I ever heard in my life =P im 15 and I sure appreacte good music like this

  • i love john mayers cover

  • And I´m free, I´m free fallin' <3

  • john mayer's isn't bad, but I love this one. (:

  • tom petty > john mayer's cliche head voice

  • Lizz, what kind of drugs are you on? Nobody beats Tom Petty. You aren't listening to much music are you.

  • For me the original is the best version ... Tom Petty is da shit

  • @americanasuper

    which is the original? This one or John Mayers?

  • this one

  • this one duh

  • @Derek255 derek that is you but you probably don't have a moustache so its just your lip

  • no the jonas brothers are i cant believe they covered this song fagots -.-

  • john mayer is way better at singing this song

  • while Tom (like quite a few singer/songwriters) is not a particularly exceptional vocalist, one should bear in mind that there are always little nuances in the performance of the creator of the piece that a cover artist will probably never capture. the writer *knows* the piece inside and out, so his/her interpretation will always reflect what the song was intended to achieve.

  • oh wow. just..yeah. wow.

  • I like this song, but Tom Petty's voice. just something about it is so annoying! it's not as smooth as john mayer's! therefore, i like john mayer's cover of this song more. (:

  • no one beats Tom Petty, no one :)

  • THAT'S OT TRUE!!!! I do :)

  • I rank this top ten from the 80´s.

  • Ok now, John Mayer's cover was awesome but you can't take anything away from Tom Petty, you must respect him. They are both great artists

  • How can you say John Mayers is better. Tom petty is a legend bro. This is real music

  • soooo schööön ..... :-)

  • C-c-c-can't stop listening to iiiit! =D

  • 5* + Fav'd. =)

    A real good, good song!

  • fuck john mayor hes a faggot tom petty is the real deal

  • chamillionaire good morning and pimp c im free

  • Chamillionaire - Good Morning

  • know what disnestartube, disney can suck it!! john mayers version succks

  • tom pettys version is better then john whatshisname i just like it because he screams kinda or shouts in the refrain:)

  • this version is better simply because u can feel the meaning of the world free and all the emotion that the singer radiates :)

  • they both singing good in their own way, i love tom singing it but i love john singing it in his own way as well

  • Anyone with "Disney" in their name immediately loses my respect when it comes to music. John Mayer does not "Rock" this song, he barely even nudges it.

    His voice doesn't go right with the song? You are not just stupid, you are also deaf.

  • Geeze, this isn't even the studio version. Go listen to the version on Full Moon Fever (the original, made around five years before you were even born)- the version that spent 33 weeks at the top for rock, that is number 177 of the 500 greatest rock songs of all time... then feel free to attempt to compare Tom to John.

  • "Tortured souls"? Oh please, I like good music, that doesn't mean I should be classed as a sad 40 something year old who stays in his room wondering where he went wrong with his life, staring at his CD collection which spans the height and width of his room. Just because I don't get off to watching High School Musical doesn't mean that I am a terrible, horrendously boring human being. You total, total tool. Does this song justice? If you call that musical abortion justice you are totally wrong.

  • yeah this one is my fav to, best version.

  • this version is the best<33 i love his voice[:

  • I love the chores in this one, but i think John Mayer has more of a soft voice. But I would pick this version over John Mayer any day. :D

  • ME TOOOOO!

  • i was listening to pandora and this song came on by John Mayer and i got confused because, well, he was singing it wrong lol

    I grew up to this version. It'll always be the best to me.

  • i love this song better then that myers guy he sucks!!!

    p.s. u did a awsome job doing this video

  • love this song :) mayer does a good rendition in his own style, he doesnt try to do a full on cover of this and i respect that, but those plastic idiots the jonas dolls should not try this song,,,ever,,

  • please dont make fun of this song it was played at my aunts funeral

  • hell yea

  • THANK YOU! I totally agree. This is the best because it is the original, the covers are never as good.

  • 00:05 eww is that sweat?? lol but i love this song!!! :)))

  • Tom Song 1oo Times Better John Great Singer Though! :)

  • I think Tom sings a better chorus, but the other is sung better by John mayer if that was combined omg

  • I like John Mayer, but Tom Petty made a better version... I love this song!

  • i sat next to his flame top in the hardrock café in barcelona lol

  • john mayer sings this way better...i think, good song but john mayer does a little better

  • I love the way he says "America" lol

  • best song ever in the world!! such an american song! 5 stars!

  • 10 stars and more! lol very nice track!

  • greatest song of all time

  • Songs like this should only b covered by a good band not some Disney Piss Take

  • how can you possibly say someone who didnt create the song sings it better?? he sang it the way he wanted to!! this IS tom petty's song.....not john mayer

  • ummm i dont care who's song it originally is....everyone has their own opinion...i just happen to like the way john mayer sings it aiight :-P

  • thats cause your an idiot ...besides the fact that john mayer is a douchebag, even if he was my favorite artist u still cant say his version is better! if it wasnt for petty this song wouldnt exist

  • thats poor logic; for example the song first cut is the deepest was written by cat stevens, but the popular "better version"is not sung by him...

  • exsacly

  • i cant belive the idiots jonas brother tried to cover this song they are going to crash and burn any day (litterly) but tom petty will live for ever i have disbleif in the jonas brothers 100% and wow they have like 10,000 fans world wide while more than the worlds population is fans of tom petty the jonas brothers suck!

  • i cant believe i got into an argument that the jonas brothers wrote this! retards should keep their opinons to thmeselves, stupid little girl told me they wrote this for tom petty. kids these days are fucking retarded with their disney channel. ya think theyd have parents from the 80's like mine to set them straight.

  • I love this song, is so beautiful.

  • love it. thanks for posting

  • and I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEE

    FREEEFALLINNNN

  • Tom's a class act, great track from Full Moon Fever. Of course when I say he's a class act, it doesn't mean he's better than Boyzone or Leon Jackson or Joe Dolce or S Club Juniors OK.

    ROCK ON TOM!!

  • i love this song so much

  • awesome dude.dude.
