[mattycazam2]

102 people are dickheads

[vivwritten]

RIP Bobby Kennedy...

[SirBraxton1989]

Man this is such a good song.

[CaptainPrad]

What is that percussion instrument at 2:02? It's not a rimshot - I've tried to replicate it on all kinds of drumsets.

Great song by the way. My favorite, actually. This song never ceases to amaze me and it inspires me throughout my life. Tom Petty forever!

[ripster8675]

WHO IS THIS OLD COOT??

[363moose]

@ripster8675 are you kidding or being serious

[ripster8675]

@363moose SERIOUSLY... WHO IS HE

[bigdog23185]

@ripster8675 Dude, just watch a few videos and you'll figure it out. I had the pleasure of manning the sound board a couple of times for these guys in Gainesville, FL circa '73-'74 when they known as MUDCRUTCH and playing frat parties and such. Guess that makes me an "OLD COOT" too!

[discoveringeuphoria]

@ripster8675 GOD.

[ripster8675]

@discoveringeuphoria MY ASS

[PowrOverwhelming]

This song made me try and learn to fly. My psychologist still says this is a great song.

[fnkytklr7]

Well, Well, Well. 102 more folk that haven't learned how to fly. No soup for you!!!!!!!!!! Tom Petty is da man and always will be!

[jinkster12345]

Used to listen to this song driving to flight school - love it!!

[lilcarinasangel2]

such feeling in this song, rhythm is awesome, favorite tom petty song

[AGENTARMES]

This song is what God listens to when he's in the shower.

[KingWi11iamII]

Doesn't He Know, Redbull Gives You Wings!

[jlk566]

no children were disturbed in the making of this video

[Leffe7809]

Excellent...!

The song I was looking for and the video to it. Many thanks to the post, It is as nostalgic as could get. - The number is -78

[SaxoRocks]

Juno Temple brought me here

[johnsnowden88]

@jacy332 They're coming to London for the first time in years this Summer, can't wait!!!

Anyway, we don't have much going for us in the UK at the moment, but you should check out Casper & The Howling if you haven't already. You'll love it!

[jacy332]

Love love love Tom Petty!!!

[KYEONGTI]

TWO sugars for me, please!

[nintendork64]

Also, what's that strange percussion instrument that plays in the background with a 1-2-3-4 1-2 pattern?

[franzia1499]

@nintendork64 To me it sounds like a snare rimshot.

[nintendork64]

Can't stop listening... God damn, I love me some Tom Petty.

[KingCobra6461]

Great song!

[TheGator1972]

To me Learning to Fly means that your going to try to live out your dreams even if you  fall your gonna keep trying

[KYEONGTI]

@TheGator1972 check out 2:34. THAT'S what the song is about

[WellDoneBoyJarge]

Hip Hop artists will basically just never be able to accumulate as many concert numbers as Rock n Roll

[spacecowboy5000]

Myself, I'm learning to fry but I ain't got oil. Tom Petty's still one of the best lyricists ever.

[treyster212]

I think tom petty plays point guard for the Phoenix Suns.

[targias22]

@TheGumBallonDrummer that is a retarded post man wheels uses different chords and has a distinctly different rhythm. Listen to wildflowers by petty and butterfly tattoo by paisley and you will see a copy

[SteroidMcbeefy]

im still learning to walk, i got pounded in the ass last night.

[1lostsoldier1]

When he had Mud Crutch,they where good,I read his uncle took him to meet Elvis and that was the Magic Man ,rubbed his head ans said " how you doing little man" something like that ,anyway.Peter BoDonavich I think Dorthy Stratton's lover.Produced a show find it and listen 7 hrs.

[2FineRecords]

Tom Petty.......the best,

[MrMacca1951]

young people listen i didn't have you tube when i was young learn!!!!!!!!!

[pobby434]

I was old enough to appreciate it when it was out ,, but lots of lads my age didnt back then grunge just hit the seen and kids wernt listening to it ,, but thank god great music stands the test of time and tune like this will always be there to listen to over and over long twenty years from now! enjoy!

[IceyCobra]

@pobby434 Unfortunately kids listened to Grunge and had no clue what it actually was.

[aguywithacarrot]

if you dont like tom petty you can go fuck yourself

[bobby1291]

Heard this song blasting from the cockpit as I got onto a plane. Got pretty scared there for a second.

[tompetty1976]

@bobby1291 Hahaha! That's funny. :) I hope it's a true story. :P

[Carrowshee1]

This song helps me a lot, brilliant lyrics, brilliant vocals - I LOVE TOM PETTY - always have!

[ccm42281]

Im learnin to fly, but i aint got wings....................cause USPS forgot to deliver them again!

[thekat16]

I wish I was old enough to appreciate music like this when it was first out!!! instead of having the music of today

[hunternellis]

@BMW663366 this song isnt about actual flying.. its about living life.

[Mmckeagney]

99 people learnt they couldn't fly the hard way

[Scalpaxos]

All Tom Petty songs are great ! He's a real artist.

[imunchbutts]

@Scalpaxos He may be a real artist, but I'm a real boy!

[351matt]

I wanna be the poolboy

[marcusgbg100]

its my life song!

[marquismyfriend]

[kingj2038]

I've come to the conclusion that this is one of the best songs of all time.

[RobbieOC18]

young rafael nadal from 1:17-1:20

[blabla21797]

[rmz250rider183]

i believe i grew up in the wrong generation!!! Todays music is awful this is real music

[986tornado]

@rmz250rider183 Most music is awful today but adele gives us hop.Also when ever good music is made today people dont appreciate it.

[TheTimmyboi57]

@lanceparker12. you're nuts

[tebow555]

@chakenfangersaregood It's great to know the the younger generation is still listening to this kind of music.

[986tornado]

@tebow555 i agree with you 100 percent. Now some and i mean some music today is amazing but most of it is crap but i will take 2011 and 2012 over 2002 to 2008. I hope good music will make a revival again.

[spetrus]

You can never go wrong listening to a Tom Petty song.

[futurecop10]

great band! god bless them !

[MrGerrry82]

very underated singer/songwriter

[986tornado]

21 years already. im in disbelif that this song is over to decades old. well i dont care it's still as good as new in my opinion.

[paula18771]

Still a fantastic song though!!!

[colhole]

Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers have and will continue to be a band that helps me through tough times and lifts my spirits. There's just something about the music that hits you down to the bone and feeds your soul. LOVE TOM AND THE HEARTBREAKERS!

[eamon54]

This a great song by a great group. Wish they'd come to Australia

[sstyblo]

13 people were killed in a plane crash over Swedan today.

...j/K tht'd be really mean

[dabuik1]

lol the video is kinda funny with the posture and shit

[DocGoose1980]

96 people be freaking DEAF!!!

[kakamedsaft]

The song reminds me of times not so tough. I agree with lanceparker.

[mysteryrida]

[chakenfangersaregood]

im still learning to walk, i dont think im ready for this song yet.

[16wani]

@chakenfangersaregood

:)

[VioletsBloom]

@chakenfangersaregood Don't worry 'bout it. We all feel like that. Some hide it better.

[cardie49]

@chakenfangersaregood Great song.  Keep listning it works.. He's good.

[ThePogle]

learning to love is the hardest thing,but its worth it!

[MKECBS1]

That guitar solo needs to be sooooo muuuuchhhh looooonnnngerrrrrrr

[357HFC]

This guy is a legend, I am not from US but really admire & appreciate his music & lyrics. Must have taken lessons from His Bobness and maybe improved on that.

[Wyldone6984]

Thumbs up if the Eli Young Band brought you here. ;-)

[coastallad1010]

I have come to clean zee poooool

[SOVA274]

Србија до Токија, Црна Гора ко Нокиа!

[BMW663366]

Great song...inspirational for all the soon to be pilots!

[Pantarassi]

Мне он всегда нравился! ОК!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ktlee]

I'm learning to fly. :) No, forreals!

[puglover50]

@ktlee

Me too :) It's kind of fun

[NinjaaElliee]

lovely tune bro

[KBandLBJ624]

1991 Chicago Bulls!!!!!!

[speakyourmindmedia]

94 came down (hard)

[kroggwaff]

alien attack

[Lionsfan1958]

Great tune! Theme song of the Chicago Bulls 91 championship video, and was so appropriate then

[Pentastar018]

Timeless classic sung by a living Legend. I hope Tom Petty gets 150 years old.

[HunterHunter88]

94 people ain't got wings.

[85turtle]

This is my dads theme song because he is a pilot

[GMagana92]

What's the woman's name? o.O she's fine

[UltimeciaKnight]

@GMagana92 Looks like Rihanna 1:50 =P

[Hwaigon]

Brings memories. This could've been the lovesong of me and my gf, with only difference: she's never been my gf. So, all it brings back is a snapshot of a boy dreaming day and night of a girl he can't have.

Hope to listen to this one time, at least once more in my life after I've found true love.

[Maria46950]

When I was really little girl, it was my favorite band and favorite song. Now I'm 13 years old and i still love their music. It is sooo chill, good and emotional. Good memories :}

[Abrahmelon]

Tom Petty right up there with "Pink Floyd",Imortal forever!!!!.......or just my opinion!!!

[AndyAndTheEchoes]

Jeff Lynne + Tom petty + Instruments + studio = MAGIC :-)

[Droamen]

@AndyAndTheEchoes Wilbury magic

[defcat123]

What a great song! Lyrics are so good!

[Eurodriveril]

The fact this song has only 2+milllion hits is a fault of of new music and vevo

[twoliveted]

i love the feeling of this song



[fIanneI]

@twoliveted me too, every time i hear it it gives me a happy feeling

[amirsabanovic]

Joe McNally led me here!

[WeirdWackywendy]

Love this song. Believe this song has so many meanings...just listen before you watch the video..remember the infamous word man. Mr. Petty you are a scholar of the word and the double meaning.

[alwaysRocknRoll4ever]

the first song that I listened to in the year 2011 and the last, now It's the first song again of the new year

[lanceparker12]

This band needs love and deserves fame, unlike this horrible wave of modern pop, rap etc ,

[guitaHer099]

@lanceparker12 #NEW MUSIC SUCKS OLD MUSIC IS GOOD AMICOOL YET?

[SoCalChunkybutt]

@lanceparker12

id say tom petty is pretty famous

[417coty]

@lanceparker12 fame?? they are fucking huge!! almost 3,000,000 views is pretty big!

[TheJimmyjackjohnson]

@lanceparker12 Yer the music is starting to die

[spyyder976]

@lanceparker12 um, they have been famous forever, but love i dunno; i made deals with them to let them cut 2 of my songs i wrote, this being one of them, after he was so heavy into drugs, trying to clean up his image; but instead, he and his manager screwed me over and stole my songs and never paid me as promised, and they threatened to kill me and my family if i continued with my lawsuit; for the full story see wikipedia /Cherry_Pie_(album)#Songs

[smeaglerG]

@lanceparker12 this band already has love and fame and plenty of it, but i agree.

[fiomily225]

this was posted on Taylor Swift's Birthday! Yeah, haha Tom Petty Rocks!!!!

[napolitanon92]

94 people suck bieber's dick

[Razormiller]

"hop on", "lets roll the dice".... how to get ass raped in 3 steps or less

[fiomily225]

Story of my life

[mrdensone]

we have thumbs down bar, but we can't see them ))

[MICHAELDEVINE100]

Lady GGaGa needs an advert to be played .... TP does not. btw: this reminds me sooo much of the one and only George Harrison. maybe a tribute or inspired by their asssociation@ TTW ??

[gmoneyatownbankin]

what sadens me is i have to listen to lady gaga on the advertisment when tom petty should be playin in the advertisment. what is wrong with these people....

[xxSAKUL14]

sounds like foo fighters wheels !

[theryguy13]

@xxSAKUL14 foo fighters wheels sounds like learning to fly you fuck head... tom petty wrote this song in 1991. wheels came out in 2011.. you suck at life you fuckin retard

[NinjaaElliee]

@xxSAKUL14 But so much better

[Hwaigon]

@xxSAKUL14 It does. I loke both songs, to be sincere :)

[YellowBlueSun]

... when we learn to fly we are too old

[John32070]

I heard this album's recording was done in such a way different than usual it's why Tom's longtime drummer quit.

[Gwenluvsmusic]

Just booked tickets for his Dublin show next year!!! Bring it on!!!

[woody1948able]

Tom petty is cool.

[chudmanguy]

wheels by foo fighters anyone?

[JammyRamone]

@chudmanguy shit!you're fuckin' right!it's the same song!

[nelsonr32]

When I'm old enough to decide to have a will I am going to request that this song is played at my funeral.

[Hwaigon]

@nelsonr32 A decent material for mind to ponder over for the rest of life, I shall think what I'll have played at mine ;) :D thanx for an idea

[ryanlikespeaches]

89 people can't fly

[AllanBama]

van halen

[jiminycricket69]

although pink floyds song learning to fly is a different type of music and good too... this song by tom petty is just way better if your judging songs that have the same name. the same goes for ONE. metallicas is better than U2s

[JBshotJL]

@jiminycricket69 and swedish housse mafia. Also foo fighters have Learn to fly.
