[harleyluvrable]

You were just a face in the crowd.....

[hithr3000]

stunning video for a beautiful song. was so disappointed it wasn't a hit.

[nasirparvinjah]

Don't we all have a Face in The crowd, that we always carry with us all throughout our lives!?.

Excellent song, the mind just wanders....

[07925cat]

@CatheeGal

[Naushop1]

2:13-2:34. I find that this is one of his best solos. All of Full Moon Fever is a good album.

[justnoldhyp]

[chzwiz007]

I can't stand this guy. All his stuff sounds the same. He gives me the creeps.

[hungryherbie]

@chzwiz007 If you can't stand Tom Petty for whatever reason why do you bother visiting his sites !!!! makes no sence to me ..reason I'm here I think he's brilliant

[badating]

ITS FUCKEN BATMAN!!!!!!

[foxyroxstar]

The Woman We Love But The Woman Oui'd Haveta Be!..Aviator! -the prisoner-Here is and are, to The Designers of this, the dream...The Architect, in part, Tom Petty!...(your credit due a bit to REM!)..but can you perform in Atlanta and require two to appear! Rock and Roll! my pen AMK!..Fox. Rock's Czar!..that's Alexis Maye K.

[animalrabioso]

This is the song that should have being in "The Social Network" movie's sountrack !!!!! it's a song about Facebook !!!!!! . Just pay attention to the lyrics. Tom Petty prophetized Facebook with his lyrics. ;)

[xraycat30]

I just got home from seeing Tom in concert for the first time. I loved the show...but my heart broke because he skipped over playing this song which was on the set list. I am hurting...LOL...really...I just love this song so much and was deeply disappointed.

[brownrider56]

@xraycat30 wow he didnt play this i would of been pissed off man this such a great hit/classic such a better song then free falling witch im sure he played!!!??? i hope he played breakdown!!!??? my favs id hope he played are breakdown,face in the crowd,mary janes last dance,the trip to pirates cove,american girl & wont back down & dont pull me over... thats sad he didnt play this for the faces in the crowd what the hell is up with that B/S!!!??? that WEAK on tom & heartbreakers part!!!



[xraycat30]

@brownrider56...yeah...I was pissed. I have to admit. I was vocal about my disappointment. My buddy who came with me really wasn't a big Tom Petty fan and he couldn't understand why I was so bothered. I've wanted to hear him play this live for years and years. First time I see him live...the song is on the setlist...and he just skipped over it. And then he was gone...out of my life..and he was...a face in the crowd again. LOL Yeah, he played most of the other songs you mentioned.

[brownrider56]

@xraycat30 dude now that i think about it that is so fucking lame to have a crowd of people come to see you & pay to see you at that & dont sing a song named "a face in the crowd" that is just LAME as it gets!!! wear did you catch him live??? my sister in law just seen him ill have to ask her if they played it when she seen him!!!??? i just thought there is/was no way he would not play this song for the fans at a live show!!!??? thats not cool at all!!! a true heartbreaker

[xraycat30]

@brownrider56...True..a real heartbreaker.  Guess they weren't kidding about that name. I saw the show at the IZOD Center in New Jersey on the 24th of this month.

[fr33light]

This song calms me down. Nice :-)

[rugburn5]

that would be nice to play at the end of ones life, I am right there Santangelo5. love it 10 stars for Mr Petty. peace

[fijiboy68]

Nothing like playing Full Moon Fever A-side on Vinyl with my old beat up headphones!

[auctionguyinmo]

One of the more over looked classics. Great song.

[EltomeiroJackson]

"...out of the dream, out of the sky,

into my heart, into my land, you were just

a face in the crowd..."

[wufpac1983]

Beautiful, great song..still gives me ----that great feeling....luv ya more than ever babe...ROCK ON...

[DanielJensen20]

This voice is so soft, so smooth... the greatest singing-voice ever. The most characteristic at least.

[caregvr4u36]

this is a great song! I will always love the 80's era!

[millerbz]

Is there a story behind this song? Does anyone know what it's about?

[rugburn5]

I agree with Santangelo5, a great selection to be played when we pass.

[1dragonleader]

für menschen die kein englich können..leider kann ichs auch nicht so richtig aber ich verstehe alles ;O) A face in the crowd heist....Ein Gesicht in der Menge

gut nur das ich nach gesehen hab was es auf deutsch bedeutet / heist !

5/5***** er war für mich schon immer ein begriff sehr gute und reine musik finde ich ...daher sowieso meine liebe zu seiner mucke .thanks 4 all

love and light @all

[elaikar5]

Just love this. Play it on the piano along with him. Chords are easy, but must be played along with Tom.

[rugburn5]

great song, for you Jim P xoxoxoxoxo

[Ralli08]

Oh God, love this track for 20 years. Imho his masterpiece

[1954WBA]

tom i figure the odds of you seeing my vid "away" and responding are 1 in 7,300,000 so if you do let me know, so I'll know my luck has gotten better

[notyoursavior78]

From Playback! Sweet!

[36midnight]

I've always loved this song!!..And I have the disc Full Moon fever also. A great one!!

[Diyaredark]

My favorite song, love Tom Petty !

[xshootmedownx]

Police excorts everybody passports this life everbody ask For

[Depro900]

TOM FUCKEN PETTY ALL THE WAY MOTHER FUCKERS! LONG LIVE T.P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i went to his concery and steve ferronie gave me his drum sticks! and maybe if we lucky a new concert this summer!!! :):)

[robytigran]

What is GEMA ? Sorry, I am from Europe.

[10Bones01]

It appears that all of Petty and the Heartbreaker's songs are being ousted.

If there was one song they should leave up, it would be this one.

[DanikunKO7]

@10Bones01 What do you mean OUSTED? By what?

[10Bones01]

What I mean is, I had like 10 of his songs as favorites, and they all became unavailable in one day, which most likely means someone (in charge of his colelction) is rooting them out, and taking them off this site.

[DanikunKO7]

@10Bones01 Yeah, I heard they kill music videos on youtube big time now, cause of this license conflict GEMA has with youtube. All you can do is quit your job, get a downloader and save all the good stuff left up for good on your hdd. someday you'll have forgotten all those classics that just vanished unnoticed. When you can show your kids, you'll know it was worth it. (Of course you, as a righteous man, should BUY the records you love, but to be honest, I have more love than I have money.

[10Bones01]

I do have Full Moon Fever, and I absolutely buy the albums I enjoy. I don't steal the music I love because what good does that do for those who created it? I only use youtube at work. At home I have a nice setup with a wall of sound that would melt your face. Be well-

[RubberWilbur]

@10Bones01 I believe Petty and the HB's albums are produced by another company which is giving youtube a hard time. This album is solo project by just Tom.

[DonJuan979]

runnin down a dream is my favorite song....^^

[dennis2931]

This song is Tom Petty saying " I stand alone" prob was pissed off about a shallow woman that fucked him over. he got burned.

[tall32guy]

Is it just me or does anyone else find this song a little eerie and haunting? It has always had that kind of quality to it, considering the lyrics. The video adds an even more ethereal feel to it.

[wist0301]

yeah, the Bmsus chord can definately add that feel to any song.

[shanktinkerbell]

Most of his really good ones are haunting (Good to be King).

[MORCHEEBA77]

HES A GREAT STONER MAN ! makes great stoner music.

[SirBoudezwijn]

Ya, he is a great stoner.

Let's all get high, fuck and stop all wars.

Hippie power!!!

[hungryherbie]

Tom Petty this is gone straight into my favourites

A Face in the crowd and what a relaxing song

must be one of his biggest hits........cheers for

[MADPUSSVIDEOS]

Kaatz,

I have to second you and thank you for sharing this great clip.

Pios

[Santangelo5]

[cosmo411]

4. It's good to be King

[annamarieintex]

I bet this song would be great for long road trips! good song to get you to your destination!

[lukemattar]

if your destination was the moon :)

[doondo1]

Full Moon Fever - best album I ever heard in my life

[Familyguy1230]

Badass Dobro...i dont know how to spell it the thing at 1:22-1:24

[helimech60]

That's all any of US are these days.The way our country is so screwed up.We're all just a face in the crowd....

[mlehj]

thinking out loud

[btw87]

yea dude everybody just be quiet cuz that face was me

seriously u dont even know

[mlehj]

u were just a face in the crowd

[vodude]

FULL MOON FEVER was a near masterpiece & probably the pinnacle of Petty's amazing career. So many great songs came off that album and this one is my absolute favorite. At first listen, it almost sounds like some lost Traveling Wilbury's track. I guess that's becuz fellow Wilbury - Jeff Lynne produced this album. Tom & Jeff should definitely collaborate on another album someday cuz when they get together, it's nothing less than magic.

[Daburcor]

Have you heard "Highway Companion"? Jeff Lynne produced that as well. Hell, as far as I remember, he and Tom Petty are the only musicians on the entire disc. It's damn good!

[vodude]

Oh yeah? I didn't know that. For some reason, I never bought that album or anything else after Wildflowers came out. I guess becuz i'm more of a fan of Petty's earlier work. But I will definitely be checking out HC really soon so thanks' for the info.

[Daburcor]

No problem! I have to say, I've loved all of the records he's made since 'Wildflowers'. I'm convinced the guy can't write a bad song!

Oh yeah; After looking at the liner notes to 'Highway Companion' again, it seems Mike Campbell is there as well. I knew some of that lead work sounded too much like Mike to NOT be him...

[tompondus]

Mike Campbell is on the Album As well. He is all over:) Yeah great Album.

[Familyguy1230]

What you mean they are the only musicians on the disc? I know jeff produced it.

[Daburcor]

On 'Highway Companion', the only people who play are Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Mike Campbell.

[Familyguy1230]

Would about Steve Ferrone on drums?

[Daburcor]

Tom Petty plays the drums.

[Familyguy1230]

No kiddin'? i always knew Petty played drums in his career on somethin but i could never find out what.i always figured back with mudcrutch in early 70s

[ramitupursnout]

Agree with you, possibly his best work since damn the torpedoes.

I also feel  Mike Campbell has been a major factor in shaping pettys sound over the years!

[pimpchic1]

Great song an vid! ♥♥♥TP♥♥♥

[alaskaman53]

LOve, Fantastic Tom

[olivermcummins]

TOM PETTY his best recording by a long way

A FACE IN THE CROWD ..I could listen to it all

[jessieneace]

[Curitiba1966]

I was in US that time! Great time! Great music!

[djoscafox]

[wist0301]

goes great with a late night drinking binge and crying about how it all went wrong....

[olivermcummins]

A FACE IN THE CROWD my favourite number by

TOM PETTY great video and sound quality

cheers for posting

[jasonpman93]

I find this is not one of his more popular song, but it is still one of my favorites.

[buffboynick]

This song reminds me of my future wife that I have not yet met.

I am sure that in the beginning........she will just be another face in the crowd......

but to me she will be much more then that eventually........

get here soon <3

[jessieneace]

and you never know...maybe she is that face in the crowd right now....good luck dude

[10Bones01]

You and I are on the same page brother-

[psychohampster1]

I felt the same in '94 when this was my favourite TP ballad. I met her in '95 in a crowded room.

[mark22isaking]

harden up, son

[TerraP0]

k i was told to listen to this song so i did . . . i like the beat the sound but i dunno? . . . .

[standalonediealone]

well you were just a face in crowd.

who told you to listen to it think about that :)

[lurch321]

Would love to know what inspired this song............anyone know?  Almost makes me teary-eyed every time.............

[ZELPHOR]

I was told most of songs on the album were done during his divorce.

[lurch321]

Well, he was still married around this time...........he got divorced in the mid 90s--just about all the songs on the Echo album were about his recent (at the time) divorce.

[ZELPHOR]

Appreciate the correction. I don't like posting wrong answer's. Thanks

[mark22isaking]

gets a bit anal doesn't it? Was this before or after his colonoscopy?

[sunildesouza]

Lovely song indeed.............

[10Bones01]

I think this is my favorite song.

Really hits home.

[cielo27rah]

Thanks for the excellent video - love that tom petty

[MrAndreblanchard]

Thank's you Tom, for this beautiful songs.

Continue your very good work...

[hippie4201]

this is my favorite tom petty song of all time its one that isnt overplayed and thats what makes it so damn good

[robinwright007]

damn good sound tom petty rocks

[TheKnightRyder]

Wow, pretty depressing sound, but like all works from Tom, very good.

[swiftjeff]

bit depressing but pretty real, huh?

[Leghorn95]

pettys video are ALways cool

[fusion2me]

Have my baby.

[gizzimoe]

I don't think Petty's lyrics don't reflect a Dylans' influence.

One reason Petty is so good is because of his originality.

[PAULFC93]

Yeah He Is A Great Songwriter...Thats Because He's Been Influenced By Bob Dylan..

Amazing Voice...Nightwatchman's Also a Geat Song

Love Him As Lucky In King Of The Hill lol

[URWares]

Tom Petty rules! Great song.

[Mushhr00m]

i want to hear people in 2009 write songs like THIS and all Tom Petty's songs. He a really great song writer

[mark22isaking]

2009 songwriting is not in the same space unfortunately - nor are the music consumers. I hope someone can enlighten me on the songwriters I have missed...

[BrentShiohama]

theres a new project by a friend of mine that is Tom Petty 2009 but original, and with a southern california twist we have here. theres a big movement happening in so cal. ill be vloging about his stuff soon. point is, this music will be back again in another light, in the near future, as all great music will eventually be. i think 2011-2020 will be a good period for singer songwriters. keep the faith and support new artists as well

[lastdancewmaryjane]

tom petty is the shit!:)

[yukonpete2]

He's the best. I love him

[kimseycook]

god damn this is a good song!!!!!!!

[fropen]

I wish there was still great songwriters like Tom Petty out there these days

[wilsonshane]

Tom Petty.One of the greatest song writers of all time!

[PatagoniaPedro]

They just know what to say, how to sing it, and with just a few choice chords.

Masterful.

[anitaimvu]

A Face in the Crowd Before all of this ever went down In another place, another town, You were just a face in the crowd Out in t he street walking around A face in the crowd Out of a dream, out of the sky Into my heart, into my life And you were just a face in the crowd Out in the street, thinking out loud A face in the crowd

[10Bones01]

-This song seeps down to the bone-

[pdub518]

Tom is so very talented, wow fantastic song! I could listen to this over and over.

[celloprofundo]

Thanks for all the great music, Mr. P. !! People like you make life ...enriched!

[RegencyRoyale]

How DO you catch a Mermaid!

[foxyroxstar]

Don't mind me..comments come and go away but to pick us UP out of our captivity I meant to say/add corrections!...but I guess he does C!..he looks handsome and a friend.SAE!

[foxyroxstar]

It's not like it's a pet cemetary but if a friend sent to pick us out of captivity..isn't it cool!

[foxyroxstar]

It parallels that REM creation singing 'Losing My Religion!..that would not be low life 'transportation presented to you in this man's name!

[foxyroxstar]

Did You Want me to say..whoever I am..that I Love you Tom Petty?..(through your artist's sculptures yes!)..I'm depressed..they steal from me as though I'm rich...I'm just..a face..in the crowd

[blueeyesofice]

[duesouthgirl70]
