Thank you for blessing myself and every one else with your wounderful music. Im just so sad that i didnt get to see you with my Father. That was one of my most meaningful dreams.
My sister had breast cancer and it matasised in 2016. She was a musician 38 years and she loved listening to her favorite artists. Tom Petty was one of them, I loved him too since a teenager. She was given 4 tickets to his last tour and was promised to meet him. Tom was so kind to her and wanted to sing with her unfortunately, her hair was all gone and she felt self conscious to do so. He treated my big sister like a queen. Gave her autographs, memorabilia, every tshirt from his last concert and any product they were selling on tour. He whispered in my sisters ear, I will see you again one day Laury.. She died in June 2017 Tom Petty passed in October 2017, We lost 2 wonderful people and musicians. I am sure they are playing guitars and serenading heaven... I am very grateful my sisters dream came true and couldnt have been with a nicer man.. Thank you Tom Petty
What a lovely story Jenise. I'm crying right now thinking about it. Why is it always the good ones that get taken from us so soon? What a gift they were and how it hurts now that they are gone.
i lost my wife of 10 years tracy on april 11th 2017 to thymic carcinoid cancer she was a music teacher teaching piano lessons to teens and singing in our church she was 39 she was my best friend and my world i have been lost with out her i know she is in good company up there
If it were left up to record executives, this song would never have been released. Thankfully, Tom fought for it and threatened to leave the record company if they didn't release it.
I'm black and grew up in the inner city of Atlanta but I love this song!! I heard it in Walmart yesterday and needed to hear it again. God bless all yall
This was my little brother’s favorite song. He died in 1994, at 7 yrs old. I visit this song to remember him, and use it as the music to my mental montage of his life
Today my mom's been gone for 13 years. She passed away less than 3 months after my dad did. I have such wonderful memories of riding around in our crappy gray chevette with no power steering and rusted out floor boards listening to his greatest hits cassette tape over and over because it got stuck in the tape player and this was her favorite song of his. Listening to this today in her memory. Love and miss you mom always ❤️
@@Ric_Vicious Just an extreme interpretation I read once, not mine. The vampires/bad boys are drug addicts and he's joining them, dumping/exploiting his good girl and free fallin' into a lifestyle that leads to nothing. Getting high to leave the world for a "while", like escapism.
My dad used to sing this song when I was a little girl. He did it to be funny and because he liked the song. After he died I couldn't listen to this song without crying. Now 15 years later it still bring back memories but I love hearing it now. When I hear it I feel like he's saying hello from heaven. I have changed the meaning in my mind. I'm the "good girl" who loves Elvis, her mama, America, horses etc. and he's a "bad boy for breakin my heart" by leaving me when he passed. He doesn't even miss me because he's still with me, I just miss him because I can't see him. He's writing my name in the sky, left the world for awhile, etc. anyway, this is a great song and means a lot to me.
My parents constantly remind me that this is “their song” every time it plays. They fell in love to this song, describing how it played in the background as they experienced their first kiss. Low and behold, Free Fallin’ is basically the reason I was born lol. This song will always be special to me, as it reminds me of my lovely mom and pop. RIP Mr. Petty. Absolute legend ❤️
There are moments when you feel old, like when The Playboy Centerfold was actually born after you graduated high school. When the Halftime Superbowl isn't actually music. But thank you TSnell I now feel really fucking old!!!!!!
I know exactly what you mean. You probably associate a certain broad emotion with the song… every time you feel a certain happy feeling the song starts playing in your head…
This might be a repost. I’m old and don’t know how this junk works exactly. But I just went through a terrible divorce and decided to find some purpose for myself by taking up skydiving. Took my first lesson yesterday. Didn’t get to jump because the weather turned bad. But my instructor ironically enough, she has me free falling! Only reason why I came here to hear this song! So if you need to know who’s here and listening it’s me! And it’s awesome!
My dad is about to pass. We jammed out to this song on the way to the waterpark for so many years when I was a child. He got into skydiving later in life. This song will forever have a place in my heart. Love you pops ❤
Underrated aspect of this song: the background singers in the 3rd verse and the subsequent choruses. They harmonize wonderfully and really add depth to the song’s climax.
It’s never returning. Mass migration and government propaganda has killed western culture. Inflation and re-education camps are returning though. 60s, 70s, and 80s were the last great burst of humanity before it’s decline. Do you ever think about how there is no longer cultural definitions of the decades? 60s - beads, flowers, peace, love. 70s- bell bottoms, rock n roll 80s - Synth music, neon colors, etc. etc. Now, 2010s - ??? 2020s-??? The cultural enlightenment of the western world has been extinguished. Our culture consists of corporate fashion, corporate designed architecture, bland corporate cities, corporate controlled social movements. Anybody that is old enough to have experienced the 80s or even the 90s knows what I mean. Something was vibrant in life and culture in those days. Whatever “it” was is missing today. I feel like 9/11 was the catalyst for the shift, or a result of the shift taking place. Schizophrenic rant over.
Alex Newtian Modern music will never beat the classics. The "Student's surpass their masters" rule doesn't apply with people like Miley Cyrus and Nicki Manaj who get popular from the things they do not the music they make. If you could even call it music.
I have heard this song so many times i would turn the radio down or change the station. Going into work the other morning and i turned it up and i thought the same thing you posted.
I just watched the video of Tom Petty's *Free Fallin'* It brought back memories of my first year in Budapest in 92/93 when I lived in a one-bedroom apartment in a four-unit house on "Eagle Hill" with a balcony overlooking a modest garden. I would often exercise to that tune and the others on that album. I can recall the smells of that time and the liberation I felt living there in that freshly post-communist world so far away from my uncle's fabric store in Rochester, hospitals and all things American. I was free falling right along with old Tom. So bittersweet to recall, three decades later.
When I was 16, I went on vacation to the US with my parents and we did a helicopter flight through the Grand Canyon. The pilot played this song and managed to time it in such a way that the chorus kicked in at the exact moment we were passing a cliff and the canyon would open up in front of us. It was amazing.
Isn't it awe-inspiring when events line up almost perfectly in life? Your Grand Canyon story is a phenomenal example of that. Sounds like a fantastic experience!
Wow must have been a nice experience. But isn't it too loud in a helicopter to listen to a song? I guess the volume of the song must have been loud also
I was fortunate to meet Tom Petty back in 1990. He was the most nicest sincere man I ever spoken to. He did not have the..I am a rock star attitude..I have posted this on many of Tom's songs..He was just so nice and down to earth. I miss him and I can not stop my tears for him.We LOVE you Tom, ROCK IN PEACE..You are at the room at the top.
Yeah my father took me to see him for the first time when I was 7 years old. I was hooked. Got to meet him a couple of times during his life as I got older. He was so sincere and humble. We played this song at my father's memorial service years ago when he died. Brings back alot of memories
6 лет назад+4
That's as bout as much obsequious treacle as I have ever seen crammed into one paragraph...kudos... er, most greatest kudos.
My Dad bought me my first concert tickets, Tom Petty, and we went and saw him at the Greek theatre together, and Stevie nicks was his special guest. Such a great concert. Now I can’t listen to him without missing my Dad. RIP Dad. Miss you every day.
Man, that’s one great memoir of your dad link to this song. Must have been an awesome day. They do say life is all about making treasured memories. I’m sure your dad’s up there singing this song with Tom, god bless.
I'm 66 years old, I had two reasons to learn English, one aviation and the other this guy, his music changed half of my life, it's a shame I didn't have time to spend it on the live stage, God knows what he's doing
This was my Dads favorite Petty song. He passed away 4 months ago. Tom Petty is my all time favorite, now I listen to this song more than usual. I miss you Dad. Happy Father's Day in heaven
My Dad died on Fathers Day. I had spent 3 days at my sister's house where my Dad was for the last month of his life but I had to get back home. My sister drove me down to the ferryboat and as I was getting out of the car I said "I'll see ya later Dad".... He kinda smiled a little and said "I hope so". It was so sad cuz I knew that I'd never see him again and I think he knew it too. Then they drove away and he passed away the next morning on Fathers Day. Thanx for listening to me
Still shocked about Tom Petty dying which in my opinion was very unexpected. A pure musical genius and legend. RIP Tom Petty, gone but never forgotten!
Don't cry because he is gone, smile because he was here. R.I.P Tom Petty... edit: why tf does this have so many likes. edit 2: not to be that guy but thanks for the likes. nice to see everyone coming together on the replies to the comment, ill try to respond to new replies in the future. the line "gonna leave this world for a while" hits hard. his impact on music is great, his time here was legendary, we were lucky to have shared the same time with him when we did, and we should all be incredibly grateful for it. theres not a day that goes by where i dont think about him and his legacy, and even though hes gone, we can still live that legacy as many times as we want. ill say it again, R.I.P Tom Petty.
Again, we lost one great musican! Not enough tears for this great guy. same age, same generation and now- my dreams are gone! Rest in peace Tom and best regards to all the others friends and musicans in heaven!
ghedi yea me too man .. I was.bailing like a baby ...these artist don't realize how much they help people like you & me that suffer from depression.. it freaking sucks 😞
This is the first song I learned to sing, in the car while my mom was driving listening to the cassette - I sung along to the chorus, as a 3 year old in 89 - "FREEEEE FALLINNNN!". It's my earliest memory and one I will cherish forever. Thanks Mom!
At east there will be a massive concert going on up in heaven: Freddie Mercury, John Bonham, prince, George Michael, George Harrison, John Lennon, David Bowie, Michael Jackson
My ghost friend Kyle’s dad co worker, Lenny, would sing this song at work. He often brought him over when the nanny got sick. He would smile and kick around his legs to the beat. Lenny sadly passed away four years ago from stomach cancer. Kyle’s dad sang this song at his funeral, but burst into tears. He missed his beautiful voice. This was the reason that he cried whenever he heard it now. His dad died this year due to bladder cancer. I think they are now happy in heaven.
This song really holds a special place in my heart. My daughter used to sing this with me in the car when she was little. Just goes to show you how music paints memories in our lives. Thanks Tom Petty. Songs like this shows why you are a legend...
musicmankenn dude that's awesome, me and my daughter have a bunch of songs we love singing together also, started her at 5. And now she is 9 and actually requests these songs on the drive to school every morning , makes me lower it when we get close to school though lol , got forbid her friends may actually hear real musicians right .....
musicmankenn that is super sad. I wish he was still here. My step mom started to cry when she hered what happened! My brother and me would sing a bunch of his songs and we still do
I saw Tom Petty perform with the Heartbreakers three times. I was never disappointed at his concerts. He gave everyone his all every time. He was phenomenal.
@@sqwidink1 In this song, black haired girl has a deev -oL -eesh smile, like trying to lead blondie girl to be with the in crowd, or to be more specific, with the damned, the losers. I'm sorry to be blunt but maybe it will help somebody to snap out of it.
A song about leaving a woman you love cause of how much she helped you and changed you for the better but made you realize you ain’t ready yet. Iconic song.
The saddest thing is that I don’t have a chance to listen to him Live 😔😔. The happiest thing is that we are blessed to enjoy his unique art and legacy. I love Tom Petty 💚❤️
RIP, Tom I've listened to your voice since I was a little boy watching my father struggle to maintain. Thank God, for you're talent, your spirit, and the blessing you are to us all. LEGENDS NEVER DIE.
R.I.P...................Tom Petty. Our generation is slowly slipping away ;( A day with so much bad news....R.I.P to all the shooting victims In Las Vegas.
To everyone one out there. It's a truly wonderful to have artists like TP and the ones we've lost recently from the 80s. But they gave us something we can all cherish forever. There music will always live on. So enjoy every moment you have on this Earth,cause there's no guarantee for anyone tomorrow. And remember the world Meets no one half way, if you want it go get it and never let anyone tell you that can't do something. RIP Tommy P
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart.
As a Brit growing up in the 90s, this is one of the songs that made me obsessed with America and the general concept of the middle American idyll and the American dream.
That's strange because when you watch carefully, the video is critical towards the bully-like approach in the relationships. The song is great but it does not really praise America.
It reminds me of skateboarding and punk rock, growing up in the 90's. Obviously, this music is not punk, but the guy skating on the ramp looks exactly like my friend's older brother back then. Except he had a green mohawk and listened to The Cramps.
Damn. I'll never forget, ten years ago, when I played "Free Fallin'" on my cd boombox for 24 hours straight in my college dorm after a brutal 6 hours of back-to-back final exams in physics, physical chemistry and advanced calculus as I lay in bed, in and out of sleep the entire day. Thanks for the incomparable music, Tom Petty; the Pearly Gates await.

i am 12 and bro i love this song so much
@Thekid0100 nice! Take in as much music as you can. You'll never regret it.

Awesome 😎
Great 😊😊
The genius of this song is that it's basically 3 chords repeated over and over and over and over for four minutes without getting boring.
3 chords and the truth. You'll never need more.
❤ Like Dylan 3 chord genius😅

That’s rap music in a nutshell lol
Just Perfect it is.

So Damn Beautiful. ❤

He could be free falling into another dimension now! =) Wherever he is, I wish him everything wonderful. What an artist!!
what he died. omg I love u Tom Petty. How did he die? Does anyone know?
Sara -- he had a heart attack on Monday morning 2nd Oct.; his wife found him unconscious, and that night he died in the hospital. He was 66. :'-(
I just watched the video of Tom Petty's *Free Fallin'* It brought back memories of my first year in Budapest in 92/93 when I lived in a one-bedroom apartment in a four-unit house on "Eagle Hill" with a balcony overlooking a modest garden. I would often exercise to that tune and the others on that album. I can recall the smells of that time and the liberation I felt living there in that freshly post-communist world so far away from my uncle's fabric store in Rochester, hospitals and all things American. I was free falling right along with old Tom. So bittersweet to recall, three decades later.
When I was 16, I went on vacation to the US with my parents and we did a helicopter flight through the Grand Canyon. The pilot played this song and managed to time it in such a way that the chorus kicked in at the exact moment we were passing a cliff and the canyon would open up in front of us. It was amazing.
That's awesome
Isn't it awe-inspiring when events line up almost perfectly in life? Your Grand Canyon story is a phenomenal example of that. Sounds like a fantastic experience!
Sitting in a helicopter and hear something about "free falling"? 🤔 Hm, I don't know.
Wow must have been a nice experience. But isn't it too loud in a helicopter to listen to a song? I guess the volume of the song must have been loud also
What a legend!
I was fortunate to meet Tom Petty back in 1990. He was the most nicest
sincere man I ever spoken to. He did not have the..I am a rock star
attitude..I have posted this on many of Tom's songs..He was just so nice
and down to earth. I miss him and I can not stop my tears for him.We
LOVE you Tom, ROCK IN PEACE..You are at the room at the top.
Yeah my father took me to see him for the first time when I was 7 years old. I was hooked. Got to meet him a couple of times during his life as I got older. He was so sincere and humble. We played this song at my father's memorial service years ago when he died. Brings back alot of memories
That's as bout as much obsequious treacle as I have ever seen crammed into one paragraph...kudos... er, most greatest kudos.
Wait did Tom petty died?
@@ethanpayero256 yes
Rip Tom.. this comment is everything..
My Dad bought me my first concert tickets, Tom Petty, and we went and saw him at the Greek theatre together, and Stevie nicks was his special guest. Such a great concert. Now I can’t listen to him without missing my Dad. RIP Dad. Miss you every day.
Man, that’s one great memoir of your dad link to this song. Must have been an awesome day. They do say life is all about making treasured memories. I’m sure your dad’s up there singing this song with Tom, god bless.
rest in peace to yo Dad!
God Bless you for keeping him alive in your heart. You will see him again.
Beautiful Honey 🥰
I’m so sorry bro rip dad😕🙏🏻
This song is so timeless and beautiful! Never gets old .
I never get tired of this classic....just a perfect song....RIP Tom
young people will never know how good it is. I am 15 and I love tom since I was little!❤
I am 11 and these songs are my life. God bless Tom and the 80s!
Same ❤️❤️
Rick Beato explains several things about this song that make it so great :
ruclips.net/video/jUyeAkjBXZI/видео.html
@@tiagomoraisilva I'm 23 and I know how great the song is
I'm 66 years old, I had two reasons to learn English, one aviation and the other this guy, his music changed half of my life, it's a shame I didn't have time to spend it on the live stage, God knows what he's doing
He's dead, so God does know
Cantava muito 😢
He died at the same age you are now
That is so good to hear!
He's a guardian angel for millions. His music is his legacy which gives us strength and joy.
These lyrics take on a different meaning now, RIP Tom...
Who's Here listening to classic Tom Petty in June 2024!?!? Cmon people !!!!
No need to ask this song will be played until the earth ends!
✌️
Me! Southern Brazil!
Me
@@leahdivine5071 very much so, it just played on the radio on my ride home, now I'm here listening.
This was my Dads favorite Petty song. He passed away 4 months ago. Tom Petty is my all time favorite, now I listen to this song more than usual. I miss you Dad. Happy Father's Day in heaven
My Dad died on Fathers Day. I had spent 3 days at my sister's house where my Dad was for the last month of his life but I had to get back home. My sister drove me down to the ferryboat and as I was getting out of the car I said "I'll see ya later Dad".... He kinda smiled a little and said "I hope so". It was so sad cuz I knew that I'd never see him again and I think he knew it too. Then they drove away and he passed away the next morning on Fathers Day. Thanx for listening to me
Hi👋
Still shocked about Tom Petty dying which in my opinion was very unexpected. A pure musical genius and legend. RIP Tom Petty, gone but never forgotten!
Roman Gagne
Here in 2021, listening like he is still here. Because legends never die.
Second that ! 🥂
Hell yeah turn it up the whole way!!!!!
Cheers I’ll drink my non-alcoholic beverage to that!
Legend saiz she still a good girl
and Tom is free from fallin
RIP champ
I’ll never stop listening .
2024 we still jamming to this song❤
Some of the best music ever produced, long live Tom Petty.
Don't cry because he is gone, smile because he was here.
R.I.P Tom Petty...
edit: why tf does this have so many likes.
edit 2: not to be that guy but thanks for the likes. nice to see everyone coming together on the replies to the comment, ill try to respond to new replies in the future. the line "gonna leave this world for a while" hits hard. his impact on music is great, his time here was legendary, we were lucky to have shared the same time with him when we did, and we should all be incredibly grateful for it. theres not a day that goes by where i dont think about him and his legacy, and even though hes gone, we can still live that legacy as many times as we want. ill say it again, R.I.P Tom Petty.
What a lovely comment !!!!!
Wasn't the biggest fan of his, but he has a song or two in the soundtrack of my life
Aaron Creagh same
Awesome comment
💔😎
First album was Greatest Hits. Thank you so much
I got to see Petty 12 times live, Petty sings my life story. What a beautiful soul.
1989
Here because Tom was the bomb, never mind the lockdown.
His music has not aged at all.
And it never will...
They call it classic for a reason 😄
Good night, Tom. You were special.
The Heartbreakers broke our hearts. But, he'll still be live in them!
He was one of the most personal artist i ve ever heard
He isn't dead yet that report was false but, he is very bad shape.
Supposedly he's still hanging on. Please don't rush to say ppl are dead. It's rather cruel.
If he is ok then that is awesome news! But what I am saying isn't cruel. it is a reaction to multiple news outlets.
GOD invited Tom into HIS Heavenly Palace so we could have GODLY music to fill our ears.
Again, we lost one great musican! Not enough tears for this great guy. same age, same generation and now- my dreams are gone! Rest in peace Tom and best regards to all the others friends and musicans in heaven!
don't worry, everybody learns to fly :')
I can't believe it😓😓😓😓
17, this music helped my fucking depression and he died, yesterday i cried a lot. never cried over an artist.
ghedi yea me too man .. I was.bailing like a baby ...these artist don't realize how much they help people like you & me that suffer from depression.. it freaking sucks 😞
That was cool
One of the greatest songs of all time, truly.
One of the best song ever written
Hi Matt, How you doing
If you live in Los Angelos for sure
@@benjason_94 I’ve never lived in Los Angeles and I don’t see how living there would make that song any better either.
It just has a lot of Los Angelos symbolism in the lyrics and I feel it would mean more to people from there
*REMEMBER SCREAMING THIS AT THE TOP OF MY LUNGS AS A YOUNG KID*
I still do
Sana
I still do it
Still do
Oh, hell yeah!!
I'd like to dedicate this song to the world's stock markets this morning.
Free Fallin, & I closed all my holds thur
We skated by this time!
Passed too young. Well missed. Thanks for your music. R.I.P
Yeah, definitely too young; I actually thought Tom Petty was older. Death sucks.
tbh the dude was 66 and looked like 50...death always sucks but he was 66
I don't think 66 is what it used to be; i feel age 80 is the tipping point nowadays.
HE IS STILL ALIVE
wikipedia wrote it so....
This is the first song I learned to sing, in the car while my mom was driving listening to the cassette - I sung along to the chorus, as a 3 year old in 89 - "FREEEEE FALLINNNN!". It's my earliest memory and one I will cherish forever. Thanks Mom!
Yea i was 3 when i started to have my earliest memories, where you from??

God Bless YOU TOM PETTY THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT MUSIC! 😇😇😇
Me and my mother used to listen to this when I was growing up .
And I see you again how do I keep finding you?
@@grifcheese1076 so do I!
Cool
@@grifcheese1076 you must listen to great music
@@ST-dm3zb then you have great taste lol
God bless us all for being humble enough to admit that a simple tune made us happy & had an important impact.
Don't go anywhere, Tom. Stay with us.
At east there will be a massive concert going on up in heaven: Freddie Mercury, John Bonham, prince, George Michael, George Harrison, John Lennon, David Bowie, Michael Jackson
My bad..... Just realized my mistake. I knew that, I meant George Harrison. Brain fart. XD
RIP Tom. What a terribly awful day it's been. :(
The shooting in Las Vegas....With over 58 killed and over 500 something wounded. And now Tom passes away? F*ck this day.
My ghost friend Kyle’s dad co worker, Lenny, would sing this song at work. He often brought him over when the nanny got sick. He would smile and kick around his legs to the beat. Lenny sadly passed away four years ago from stomach cancer. Kyle’s dad sang this song at his funeral, but burst into tears. He missed his beautiful voice. This was the reason that he cried whenever he heard it now. His dad died this year due to bladder cancer. I think they are now happy in heaven.
This song really holds a special place in my heart. My daughter used to sing this with me in the car when she was little. Just goes to show you how music paints memories in our lives. Thanks Tom Petty. Songs like this shows why you are a legend...
musicmankenn dude that's awesome, me and my daughter have a bunch of songs we love singing together also, started her at 5. And now she is 9 and actually requests these songs on the drive to school every morning , makes me lower it when we get close to school though lol , got forbid her friends may actually hear real musicians right .....
musicmankenn my first memory is with this song when I was 4
musicmankenn that is super sad. I wish he was still here. My step mom started to cry when she hered what happened! My brother and me would sing a bunch of his songs and we still do
So crazy the skateboarder was arrested for murder
Sweet
Rest in Peace, Tom Petty.
Dennis Hyman rip
I saw Tom Petty perform with the Heartbreakers three times. I was never disappointed at his concerts. He gave everyone his all every time. He was phenomenal.
This video was my life in a small suburb growing up in northwest Arkansas. I was blessed…be great to go back to these days
Free falling with the angels! RIP
I’m rally agree vite you @amc597.
R.I.P Tom Petty, Now you're free.
Hello how are you doing today
No he's dead 😞
@@sqwidink1
Did he believe in Jesus?
If not, he's damned.
@@sqwidink1 In this song, black haired girl has a deev -oL -eesh smile, like trying to lead blondie girl to be with the in crowd, or to be more specific, with the damned, the losers. I'm sorry to be blunt but maybe it will help somebody to snap out of it.
I will always remember Tom at the Gorge Ampitheater, 5th row center, the wind blowin his scarf sideways, singing along to this jem of a song. RIP Tom.
A song about leaving a woman you love cause of how much she helped you and changed you for the better but made you realize you ain’t ready yet.
Iconic song.
This guy knew what he was doing, amazing talent indeed
@xtrmst_01 Bless you
There's so many haters but let me tell you what you out will come back sorry your life isn't working for you I'll pray for you 🙏
The saddest thing is that I don’t have a chance to listen to him Live 😔😔. The happiest thing is that we are blessed to enjoy his unique art and legacy. I love Tom Petty 💚❤️
Saddest thing for me is I grew up in Gainesville where he is from and I never got to meet him
Master piece!!
This song helps me cry
@@thomasnavejas500 Sure it's great but not as great as actually seeing Tom Petty play
@@flamesofthepast9895 We are grateful to enjoy his music every day, all day.
RIP, Tom
I've listened to your voice since I was a little boy watching my father struggle to maintain. Thank God, for you're talent, your spirit, and the blessing you are to us all.
LEGENDS NEVER DIE.
Timeless masterpiece
How’re you doing today
One of my favorite videos ever. As an 80s baby who doesn't remember much of the decade... this video gives me all the 80s feels.
One of the most beautiful guitar lines I've ever heard. Everything about this song works.
superb song, faultless, the best song he did in my opinion.
😎😎😎👍💯🤩
It's actually 3 guitar parts overlays to get that very ethereal sound... Rick Beato breaks it down here: ruclips.net/video/jUyeAkjBXZI/видео.html
R.I.P...................Tom Petty. Our generation is slowly slipping away ;(
A day with so much bad news....R.I.P to all the shooting victims In Las Vegas.
Thank you for being a good person
Simmer Solstice afraid so
He died in the hospital less than an hour ago. www.cbsnews.com/news/tom-petty-legendary-rocker-is-dead-at-66/
Rest in peace :(
TVWXMAN32 he was a true classic man. May he rest in peace
"im gonna leave this world for a while" you may leave this world but you wont leave everyone's heart.
I learned this song in the 80's..still know everyword..
To everyone one out there. It's a truly wonderful to have artists like TP and the ones we've lost recently from the 80s. But they gave us something we can all cherish forever. There music will always live on. So enjoy every moment you have on this Earth,cause there's no guarantee for anyone tomorrow. And remember the world Meets no one half way, if you want it go get it and never let anyone tell you that can't do something. RIP Tommy P
Don Halverson Beats the hell out of crap like "Wrecking Ball".
well said Don--tomorrow ain't promised to nobody as one woman told me years ago
Nothing better than a good song to get rid of sadness
This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart.
This song makes me sad. It gives me Hiraeth, which is something that cannot be translated.
So bloody true
@@narannavan Yes, it gives people like Hiraeth and Anemoia
been 6 years since his death
As a Brit growing up in the 90s, this is one of the songs that made me obsessed with America and the general concept of the middle American idyll and the American dream.
accomify Awesome 😎
It makes me reminisce about the malls here in The Valley back when I was a kid in the 90s.
I'll bet it was great back then, whats it like today?
That's strange because when you watch carefully, the video is critical towards the bully-like approach in the relationships. The song is great but it does not really praise America.
It reminds me of skateboarding and punk rock, growing up in the 90's. Obviously, this music is not punk, but the guy skating on the ramp looks exactly like my friend's older brother back then. Except he had a green mohawk and listened to The Cramps.
After all these years I still miss Tom Petty. May God bless him.
Born in 51. Thank you Tom, you will live in my heart in the years I have left in this life. God Bless you sir, and the Wilburys.
Born in '51 also. Tom was one of the greats.
Uh...he was actually born in 1950.
The0range0wl He means that the person who posted was born in 51..
Oh okay.
Love the Wilburys😉
Damn. I'll never forget, ten years ago, when I played "Free Fallin'" on my cd boombox for 24 hours straight in my college dorm after a brutal 6 hours of back-to-back final exams in physics, physical chemistry and advanced calculus as I lay in bed, in and out of sleep the entire day. Thanks for the incomparable music, Tom Petty; the Pearly Gates await.
Well they're thankfully still waiting because Tom isn't dead yet.
Were you trying to psychologically torture your roommate? God how awful.
