  • This is a great tune!!!!

  • How come this song isn't more famous than it is?

    You better play this when you get to sweden:O

  • This is just beautiful. This is pure gold.

  • one of his best !

  • perfect

  • probably my favorite song of all time... goosebumps everytime even when i watch it every other day....

  • This song blow up my mind, since I was 20 and travel across my country, Argentina.

    Now I`m 32, and make me fell alive.

  • This song sums up what my last year has been like. Love it. This is one of my Tom Petty favourites and in my top favourite songs. :)

  • i love the non released stuff on Pettys albums...such evergreens, he definetly learnt alot of Harrison about keeping it Simple, Real and Beautiful...this is one of him a real tip of the hat too Harrison this tune...

    

  • When you come to that point... "We rarely play this one" and it is a song as good as this... as good as it gets.... Then you have a great amount of songs to choose from... dont you?

  • @Fralleful Yeah, seriously! It's one of my favorites, but like you said, they have so many awesome songs, all of which can't be played at a 3 hr concert!

  • just unreal

  • This song gives me chills! The best concert, bar none, was TP and the HB at the Hollywood Bowl in 2010--it was so perfect!

  • I am 35. I love the Beatles because I met rock'n roll with them, but I love Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers the most because they have been with me, living, since I was 13, from Full Moon Fever to Mojo. They are a living part of my life, eventhough I missed their previous albums, but it does not matter, I really love them too, my favourite: Damn the Torpedoes...

    They make me happy....

  • it doesn' t get any better than this....

  • Simply awesome.

  • Wildflowers=underrated album

  • why the fuk is the greatest artist so old.. :(

  • Comment removed

  • This is my favorite one he ever wrote. To me its about waiting for what makes you happy to come true. You work and work and work for it. And you wait. You ponder why its your passion, you wish you could do something else. But you can't. And you crawl back to it.

  • This song touches your soul

  • This song touches your soul

  • Tom has written the stories of many lives...He will always be my favorite, always was.

  • I keep crawling back to Tom Petty - his music is amazing.

  • This song is maybe the best song from Tom Petty. I need to go see him live.

  • @danielbanuelos3 Saw him at the oracle in Oakland a while back, and before that at UC Berkley's greek ampitheater. Each time, he just rocks it :)

  • Man, I'm in love with Tom Petty right now...him and Neil Young....and Bruce Springsteen <3

  • @MarmaladeMonster Oh hell yeah, Tom PEtty... Neil Young is alright... BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN?! WTF?! just kidding. lol

  • This man and his band never cease to amaze me. Wow. I love you Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers!!!

  • This man and his band never cease to amaze me.

  • Anyone else notice the quailty of the sound in this live performance?! Awesome!

  • i have replayed this song about 50 times in the past 3 days...had bad break up and as much as it makes me feel like shit...still such a powerful song

  • MY HERO! The reason i love music so much. It is sad that talent like this is not common these days.

  • Watched 6 hours straight of Tom Petty on BBC4 on Saturday to celebrate the band's 30 years together. I can't believe how much I still love the man & his music. I haven't stopped listening to this song since then. I hope he comes to the UK this year. Benmont's piano just breaks my heart, its so beautiful.

  • How could I continue to like a band for almost FORTY years?? This one I do!

  • 3:16 'we were caught up in a barroom fight/til an indian shot out the lights/i'm so tired of being tired/and sure as night will follow day/most things i worry about never happen anyway'

  • I just heard this song on my free cams.com, otherwise i would have never known that it was to petty & the heart breakers.

  • Def my fav song on the album!! Tom Petty is one of the greatest artists ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What's amazing is that there are a handful of band that can last decades. I am 27 and have listened to Tom Petty since I was five and it's still great music.

  • awesome

    

  • i agree with all these comments. my mom actually got to chill with him for a day when she was growin up in san diego. his drummer got sick so they called my mom's friend to fill in. AWESOME!! and she still has the pic he signed for her that says "michele.... stay a hot california babe.. love Tom" ha ha

  • @NewtzinBahazin That's pretty sweet, Your Mom's friend got to fill in For Stan!. I miss Stan.

  • i agree with all these comments. my mom actually got to chill with him for a day when she was growin up in san diego. his drummer got sick so they called my mom's friend to fill in. AWESOME!!

  • I looooove this song. It gives me chills. Thanks, TP!

  • One of my favorites...

  • Saw him and Jackson Browne, Tom's B-day Oct. 20th. @ Raley Field in Sac. Ca. and Stevie Nicks came up from SF to sing Happy B-Day and a few other tunes.

    It couldn't have been more fitting.

  • thumbs up

  • This song made its way to my favourite on the Wildflowers album. Done to perfection here.

  • I'm so tired of being tired

    Sure as night will follow day

    Most things I worry about

    Never happen anyway-

    my alltime favourite lyrics !!

  • agreed...beautiful lyrics....damn the torpedoes may be their best album, but wildflowers was always my favorite tom petty album...don't forget "its good to be king" too...

  • Vivid Realism all the way.......

  • que bellisima cancion...que hermoso este disco...como amo a este hombre por diossssss!! ojala la vida algun dia me permita verlo en vivo. seria uno de los sueños a cumplir ^^

  • Tom and the Heartbreakers are amazing live!!!! Saw them last month! One of the best show's I've ever seen.

  • The backup singer looks like Del from the Green Mile...just sayin

  • @CvillePippin Yeah that's Howie Epstein. He mostly looked like shit later in his career due to heroin abuse. He died in 2003 due to drug related complications.

  • i have to whole sound stage dvd and it has extra songs and it kicks ass. TOM PETTY FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!

  • sooo clean live!!

  • @roachcoachman Yea, and have you heard the studio version? It's one of the tightest studio recordings I've ever heard. Just perfect, really. Plus the lyrics kill.

  • fantastic song, me and a mate are covering it, i aint gonna sound the same but still a great song to listen too and play

  • i had never heard of this song til yesterday....its one of my tops from petty...simply another amazing song from them..

  • 2 people missed the like button

  • A great song, and an underrated Petty album.

  • I swear Tom Petty has written a song that can be applied to how im feeling on any given day

  • I love this man, I love this song. Tom Petty is just great, sincere, no bullshit music. I love it.

  • God I love this song

  • What a brilliant petty song, until the other evening I had never heard this song! Another one I hadn't heard "angel Dreams" , amazing song aswell. love it

  • "most things i worry about... never happen anyway" love it!

  • "most things i worry about... never happen anyway" love it!

  • tom petty is pure genius

  • Lyrically this is genius even before you even think about the music.

  • This is such a great song and a great performance. If anyone doesn't own the Runnin' Down A Dream dvd, do yourself a favor and get it. It's a great history of the band.

  • This Soundstage show is to me, one of the best live concerts that they ever did, really shows the full range of their talent and artistic depth, particularly in these extended jams that they did that you won't hear on the radio or on the studio albums. Very underrated band. I just wish that they would release it on CD so that I could listen to it in my car or on my I pod.

  • it's so perfect this song ... it's so sweet xD

  • My favorite Tom Petty song. Can't wait to see him in June!

  • My favorite Petty song. Can not wait for Petty in Chi-town this summer!

  • Love this song so much - thank you for posting this!

  • chills straight through... this song hits home

  • what petty song dosent!!!!

  • im always amazed how many times i get chills listening to this song...

    thank you for sharing!

  • "Most things I worry about never happen anyway"

    So wise, so true. maybe if we stop worrying about trivia, life would be much easier.

  • hey baby, there's something in your eyes trying to say to me me, that i'm going to be alright, if i believe in you.

  • @lmy6545 It's all I wanna do

  • This song is awesome! Thanks for posting

  • Best band ever! Love every song...

  • Whats he say between "Im so tired of being tired" and "most things i worry bout never happen anyway?!"

  • This man gives me chills.

    he is the reason i love music as much as i do

    i actually dont know how to express my thanks/love for this guy

  • @Hamelin121 buy their albums, go to their concerts! :P

    I need The Live Anthology to complete the collection with my brother..

  • @Hamelin121

    I totally agree! I don't even think I could manage to say anything but thank you Tom, if I were to ever meet him. So many times his light and inspiration has lifted me out of downtime. much love

  • @Hamelin121 I feel the same way... I've been listening to him since I was an infant. I'm now 26 years old and still listen to him and am constantly amazed. And I play music. He's been getting through to me since I was 4 or 5 when I started writing him fan letters with my mom's help.

  • @Hamelin121 i try to listen to this song bout once a day..means something to me. Thanks Tom

  • @Hamelin121 the only fuckin song on wildflowers i could fin on youtube. fuck this pathetic world, not acknowledging the songs i need to hear. fucking fags.

  • Thats about as close to the soul as you can get

  • I connect with Tom Petty's lyrics/music more than any other artist. His albums have been there for me during asolescence, heartbreaks, relationship ups and downs, my move cross country to L.A. - you name it and he's been there...I keep crawling back to him ;) "Hey baby there's something in your eyes, trying to say to me that I'm gonna be alright, if I believe in you, that's all I want to do"...

  • SO brilliant!!!

  • Justa fragment from this song in spanish :

    hay algo en tus ojos, tratando de decirme que estará bien si creo en tí.. es todo lo que quiero hacer...

  • me encanta la ultima frase que dice " la mayoria de las cosas por las que me preocupe, nunca suceden" que grande!!

  • Amazing. Wildflowers is a great album; this is a great song. Bleak, lonely, life.

  • most things i worry about, never happen anyway

  • This band is great live. The best. One of the best songs on this album out of so many.

  • Love tom petty and the heartbreakers

  • Seen Gainesville's finest maybe half a dozen times spread across three continents.

    This is a good example of why.

    I'm forty now and Tom and the boys have been part of my life now for a quarter of a century.

    Many thanks to y'all. Mine is one of so many lives you've enhanced fellas.

  • very nice !!!

  • thank you tom petty. truely timeless music.

  • '..we rarely play this one...", but I'm glad ya did Tom, now we have a excellent live version...THANX...killer lead.

  • This song floors me every single time. Incredible lyrics as usual.....

  • Ben's piano compliments Toms voice perfectly

  • damn skippy

  • "Most things I worry about never happen anyway"

  • amen its like that with me too

  • so many good tunes by tom.....my favourite............f*** what a good tune

  • I was working and a little girl came in wearing  "KISS" tee-shirt. I was like, "Good, don't go over to the rap side"

    It's kind of depressing that most people have turned to that, when the real music, is right here.

    Tom petty baby!

  • Like my Idol gene often says 'why cant I have steak and cheesecake'? Liking one has nothing to do with liking the other. Some people open their minds to more than one style, and like one of my other Idols Ice-T says ' ...I feel sorry for anyone who only listens to one form of music...'

  • Exactly. Music is most of all about how you relate to it and whether or not it moves you. Just because you may not like it doesn't mean that it's crap

  • except rap isnt music.

  • What a beautiful, emotional song!!!  One of the best...from the BEST!!!

  • I have been a Tom Petty fan for 23 years now. And this, I think, is his greatest song. Musically and lyrically.

  • This song has changed my life...I thought I had it all but I surprised myself crawling back to Sandra...

  • Way to go man. You proved bigger than the pride,.

  • petty is god.

  • Tom Petty, a rock legend, and such a song writing genius, as this beautiful song reflects his great talent..Over 30 years of giving the music world so many masterpiece's..his songs.

    All band members are true talented musicians, as well.

    TOM PETTY..the "BEST"

  • LOVE this version!

  • hey, what effects does mike cambell use around 2:55 - 3:05?

  • more cowbell?

  • what?

  • Does anyone know what show this was? I see there a couple of vids on here from this performance just wondering so I might be able to get my hands on a copy.

  • It was on PBS I wanna say in 2004?? It was awhile ago.

  • It is from PBS Soundstage in 2004. It is currently available on DVD. The only place I have seen it to purchase is at Sears. I have watched it a few times, excellent show. As Tom always does.

  • Comment removed

  • that's the line that makes this one of my favorite songs of all time.

  • when was time filmed? looks maybe 10 years old or so. Cool song!

  • He was drunk and i was sick- great line

  • No artist will ever surpass his greatness. This song is just beautiful.

    "i'm so tired of being tired.."

  • Tom Petty is a great songwriter- he's up there with Tom Waits and Richard Thompson. This song quietly breaks my heart.

  • Don't rope that pretentious prick tom waits into this. Tom Petty stands leagues beyond him.

    This song is amazing.

  • Hey Newt2K7,

    Time for a long, cool galss of cool-down juice. Tom Petty is probably my favourite artist ever- but I assume it's ok that I like Tom Waits, even if you don't?

  • God Bless Howie Epstein ,RIP

  • love all the vintage guitar gear on the stage!

  • This song is great. Wildflowers overall was a very strong solo album.

  • A beautiful, complex song

  • I dont think people realize what an amazing song writer Tom petty is. He can write such amazing songs with really complicated stories in them but they all mean something to him. he's not full of bullshit. like alot of bands who write songs about things that dont even have anything to do with anything that ever happened in they're lives. they just wanna make money. but not Tom petty, he writes what he feels and thats why he's so amazing.

  • Well ..... Its third time i've crawled back now.........never smiled and laughed so much... so hopefully will stick this time::-)

  • my favorite of Tom Petty's

  • I cry everytime i hear this song going through stuff people can't imagine wow great song!~ this song is great live tp did it again!~ better live i love it!~

  • This is my favorite Petty song...and TP is my favorite artist.

    I feel this song.

  • I love this song!!!

  • wunderschön!! thx for posting my friend!!

  • Stellar!

  • this needs to be in my playlist!

  • oh God! Yes!

  • This was on tonight at 5:00PM Eastern time in HD. It was Fantastic!! Almost 2 hours long!! Sorry you missed it all you Tom Petty fans....but I couldn't break away from watching it to come and let you all know!!!!

  • i own the dvd so i am good

  • Funny....I was just watching the Sound Stage concert again this afternoon!!

  • So many beautiful songs, such a great talent and LEGEND..TOM PETTY the best!!!

  • THE BEST guitar and performer of all time! I've seen him in concert at least 10 times, starting with his debut concert TP & THE HEARTBREAKERS, and he's still the man!!!

    KEEP ON ROCKIN TOM!

  • GIVE ME A BEER! so i can listen to this over & over again! great song! studio or live!

  • this song and "wake up time" are my two all time faves!

  • "Most things I worry about, Never happen anyway"

    That line describes me man.
