Tom Petty - 'Refugee'

[SarahMae321]

I owned the tom petty and the heartbreakers cassette tape as a child. I have listened to him for YEARS and when one of his songs come on my iPod I TURN THAT SHIT UP AND LISTEN TO THE WHOLE SONG..he is the only artist i can do that too. My mom got me hooked. My mom died 7 years ago and Last Dance with Mary Jane was her favorite song. We used to dance to it in my room. Tomorrow is the anniversary of her death and Tom Petty's songs bring me back to good times in my life :)

[IBShawty]

My favourite singer of all time. I'm obsessed. He's so dorky :) I love it :)

[blaster963]

It just goes to show you the goofy lookin ones can sing the best!

[terrapin831]

Mike Campbell has to be the most humble guitar player of all time!

[Excapartist]

Love your music mr.thomas earl petty the excapartist

[TalkToTheBody]

great song but I still think Melissa Etheridge takes Gold

[rickzters]

I can hear the Bob Dylan influence.

[jozetarock3001]

Saludos Loreto-Peru

[DaveWollenberg]

[jason423234]

[RetroJenny]

@jason423234 You don't need looks when you have talent unlike these mass produced pop clones these days.

[foster230567]

He reminds me of a surfie friend that ripped in the surf and liked to smoke a bit of pot. Brilliant song. Let it roll on for the long.

[jeengelking]

my favorite part starts at 1:05

[icinglover95]

@jeengelking I like that part too!

[sannewesters]

[simyan2012]

the lyrics remind me of someone i know hahaha

[turtleday69]

[MichelleMaBell89]

I read his book and it was pretty good and he's a real down to earth kind of person. Always trying to be different in his music.

[iceimprange]

man i remember singing this song when i was like 6 man a song i can always remember that i used to love and will always love.

[Wayfarer8]

That's The Rock! Cheers to Tom & his Band

[sannewesters]

what ever you want,boring,suit wearing office plant,

some people just can't handle the free life

[thisismine666]

I don't like people telling me how I should live , If I want to live like a refugee I can , Its my choice , so fuck you Tom Petty!

[jeengelking]

@thisismine666 i can tell ur probly a dumb fuck or just and atheist bitch by the 666 in ur name and tom petty isnt tellin u wat to do this is just a song so chill the fuck out

[sannewesters]

67 people have to live like a refugee now,because im gonna hunt them,for disliking this video

[JBSHINER]

Just awesome

[Limjucas8396]

a lot of people on this video will hate me for saying this, but i think this song mixed with cudi's "alive" would be pretty sweet.

[pjgumby]

freaking great music and talent, it will withstand the test of time, it is a classic. No doubt.

[33YoungGotti]

I <3 PETTY

[Tompettylady601]

tom petty is a hottie <33333333333

[chubill121]

@legalizedeherb I see no Tom Petty ......, quit your attention grabbing spam!

[timnemeth1]

@legalizedeherb i agree there. fuck that new pop shit!!!!

[o0JizZleMAliZzlE0o]

@legalizedeherb Deep Purple is shitty. Your argument is invalid.

[Crono454]

@legalizedeherb I was with you until you said Guns & Roses. Guns & Roses is just AWFUL. No talent in that whole lot. Axl Rose is possibly the worst singer of all time.

[Doc21528]

@Crono454 hey you can bash Axl, just not slash, you gotta admit, slash is pretty beast, he's in velvet revolver now, and before that he had snake pit. he's been doing stuff other than sitting on his thumb with some bs chinese democracy.

[AlexiSundukov]

@legalizedeherb FUCK YEA!!!

[RocknRollman1995]

@legalizedeherb fuck off

[MrDaddyLonglegs427]

@legalizedeherb yet another stupid comment from an ignorant rock fan, can't we just listen to what we want without worrying about what other people listen to

[RCCrashMaster]

@legalizedeherb yeah, us rock and roll guys are going extinct, we are slowly going away, 10 of my friends have adapted to rap, :(

[niktp]

@legalizedeherb

You say what everybody says. Find some originality, and some balls.

Plus, Guns & Roses on a list with The Stones and Zep and The Beatles? The fuck?

[johnfogelman]

try and smoke weed with him pretty arrogant

[MiddleClassRejects]

fuck ya tom!

[graves47]

fuck your captions



[jasminehargreaves]

Has a strong resemblance to John Heder... Does it make him less attractive? No :)

[FunkKlock]

hells yeah glad i saw him live last year

[sodapopnelson]

my favorite part is 2:05 - 2:10 .. haha so cute

[MrBrennanmoriarty]

ah... poetry of the east coast irish americans, flying sky high on the west coast, is the stairway facade, free falling... that is the segway to sociological emotional poverty within the dimentions to liberate the secondary-refugee beneath the surface of the frontier and the vacume east of the rocky mountain curtain.

who said they are "living" LIKE the have's when cultural geograPHy is the sign to exchange...

[DeAdiSSu3]

@MrBrennanmoriarty That's alot, coming from someone who can't spell "vaccum"...

[steelyman08]

@DeAdiSSu3

A lot? That's just plain and simply altogether too damned much!! I'd like to "vacume" that up and forget it ever happened.

[luzander777]

@DeAdiSSu3 that`s right. the same muzike in every generation, only the show had changed ;-)

[musicmode13100]

@DeAdiSSu3 sadly, neither can you. vacuum. 1 c 2 u's

[AxYelloWxHamster]

@musicmode13100 he was quoting....

[musicmode13100]

@AxYelloWxHamster what was he quoting?

[boomhauer15]

@DeAdiSSu3 lol dude u just made yourself look like an idiot

[DeAdiSSu3]

@boomhauer15 ???

[theart1rm]

@MrBrennanmoriarty Yeah sound political to me. Saying a whole without really saying anthing at all.

[theart1rm]

I noticed the last couple of times I watched this video, the drummer (from a close up side view) has "Elvis Eyes"

[bradleynail]

i was a 16 virgin till me and my girlfriend heard this song

[snortbag]

Tom ur so incredible keep ur shit up!!!

[IBShawty]

Perfection :)

[megadeth1155]

johnny cash plays a great version of wont back down thumbs up for the man in black RIP

[themilliondollararm]

64 people were kidnapped for randsom



[4lv2liveinlove0]

Ron Paul for Prez 2012 ;))

[chumshot1]

@4lv2liveinlove0 Who's Ron Paul?!! ive been hearin prez things about him all day. How bout TOM PETTY for prez 2012?!!!

[4lv2liveinlove0]

@chumshot1 look him up on here! my page has some vids, he wants to reduce gov, he is a constitutionalist, wants to end the federal reserve, is pro liberty, end ALL wars bring all troops home etc etc etc

[4lv2liveinlove0]

@chumshot1 he also warned of a coming economic crisis [the one we're in right now], before congress [he's a Texas congressman atm] before it happened, when everything was all seemingly good, trying to warn them/get the gov to change their ways/spending habits, but of course..we know how that ended up.

[4lv2liveinlove0]

Tom Petty for prez haha that would be amazing to see, Ron wants to legalize weed, so maybe he'd vote for him? just a guess

[chumshot1]

@4lv2liveinlove0 OK then cool..! He sounds like he knows his stuff. But n e way Yeah. Tom Petty for prez ;))

[antoniosciacca]

Dedicated to the people of Libya and their fight for FREEDOM

[IBShawty]

True talent -3 :)

[2150woodsman]

so cool calm,and collective!!!

[bigboy14100]

they recorded this song a little over 100 times b4 they could get it the exact way tom wanted it amazing tom petty is old but still just as good

[jw870206]

@bigboy14100 Sounds like the kinda work ethic Buddy Holly had.

[pjgumby]

I miss talent, it used to be a requirement to get your voice on a record, sadly anybody who can scream gets a contract nowadays, Hey, I can scream absurd tunes too, where's my million?

[pjgumby]

@pjgumby You have to admit, he was brilliant!

[guitarzan927]

EVERYBODIES had to fight to be free.

[Magolim]

Tom is so beautiful <3

[joker9494949494]

how could somebody dislike this?!

[unfortunatehappening]

He's so attractive in such an unexplainable way♥

[Message167]

@unfortunatehappening LMFAO I AGREEE bahahaha

[pezbuddha]

To the 64 people who disliked this song--you have no souls!

[DarikRD]

One of his better songs that you never hear on the radio.

[THEwolfmaster100]

@DarikRD lol thats wear i heard this yesterday on the radio i heard and started to look to sang this song

[THEwolfmaster100]

@DarikRD where

[Hiro9921]

@DarikRD just heard this song right now on the radio, had to check it if it was on youtube

[katehoffy]

[Hefelump1]

Whoa whoa, wait a minute...why is there even a dislike button on any Tom Petty song?

[super671000]

64 peple are refugees

[marensthegoatboy]

[chikolarev]

@marensthegoatboy Sweeet!!!!!!!

[shonjevon]

thanks for sharing!

[jennarp1]

he was oddly attractive

[diesweetprince]

@jennarp1 I agree! I had such a crush on him when I was little lol. Something about the way he carries himself. Not to mention he's a great musician.

[MrSqueevoot]

I like toast..............

[BabyRuckus3]

You're not an AMERICAN you wouldn't understand this song if you tried..................

owlking!!!!

[chikolarev]

@BabyRuckus3 I'm not AMERICAN and I understand. My dad is not AMERICAN and he understands. Anybody who can think can understand :)

[circleinstar]

@chikolarev I don't understand?

[circleinstar]

@circleinstar Good song though.

[chikolarev]

@circleinstar lol does it really matter???? :P

[clowe14f1]

I abouseltley hate Melissa Etheriges version of this song no to Remakes

[grade21]

To me, this song is about people who feel disenfranchised or put out. It says "grow a pair, you're not the only one."

[robis9]

LOL

[POTRADS]

I can't wait for the next Tom Petty abum to come out!

[mrlaxinforlife]

FAKE TOM PETTY WAS NOT A REFUGEE SO FAKE

[KlayyJayy]

@mrlaxinforlife it's not about that

[Tompettylady601]

@mrlaxinforlife dont like dont watch he had a very rough childhood so he must written the song for something my my your lanuage on a tom petty video shall be banned youre a freaking troll go troll other peoples videos idiot

[pjgumby]

@mrlaxinforlife He didn't say he was a refugee, he said living like a refugee, also there is a thing called poetic license that most writers/singers/artists use to get a point across. Before you can be a great critic of music or any kind of art, I think you ought to educate yourself a bit and expose yourself to many kinds and venues of expression before you can make any judgments of any kind. Your statements were not supported by even a citique on what you found to be lacking, poor judgment.

[pjgumby]

so freaking great!!! Love those days, miss those days that will never come again, and I miss honest to God talent too!

[bdaleypsu]

Tom Petty doesn't get enough credit, IMO.

I was a teenager in the 80's and I would give anything to go back and relive all of it!

[pimpchic1]

I'm proud to say that Tom Petty was the first concert I ever went to, for my 18th birthday :-)

[viennablue1]

[lesly1985ca]

que buena musica ....la escuchaba muchoo julio

[socky26]

Wow I am getty sick and tired of seeing bull shit ass comments about faggots like Bieber on good music like this!!! This is real music peoples!!! Stop trying to compare it with bullshit.

[TheRepoman62]

i am confident music like this will make a comeback some day...

[Olliesmydog]

This song is made from pure awesome....brings back fond memories.

[slugworth28]

@tamerswan your statement was directed at the people that dis liked this song, not artist at all??

[CJLewis20]

@tamerswan you don't have to be a thousand. there's a little thing called the 1900s maybe you heard of it.

[CalibusRTW]

i'm such a huge fan i can tell when the heartbreakers arent involved, not sayin tom is bad by himself, but i can tell when they arent there

[kaspartan23]

the 64 people whoo dislike this song have never smoked pot

[slugworth28]

@kaspartan23 ive never exhaled... but i like this song .. thats a stupid statement.. anyone who requires drugs to appreciate art of any nature is a moron.

[xxglowbugxx]

Very proud to say my son, who just turned 13, has been raised right and only listens to good music.....no rap garbage for him. Only rock n roll!!! ;)
