Thank you for having the courage to make your mark. Prayers for Tom's loved ones as you grieve and celebrate his humble, loving spirit
My personal favorite of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers.. The irony and delivery of the lyrics matched with a superbly talented band makes this a musical masterpiece. Didn't realize the depth that this man's music had on my memories, good and bad, until he was gone. Tom will never die. As long as I am alive, other people will will be introduced to his music. Please do the same if you agree.
"Now he belongs to the ages." Lord knows we lost one America's most prolific and brilliant singer-songwriters and real deal performers. I lived in Gainesville FL on the same street as Tom's Dad Norm who kept a beat up old pickup out back that Tom used when he was visiting or playing his hometown. I saw that the truck was gone a few times and wished that I could at least get a glimpse of this amazing, Iconic American Rock Artists. That never happened, however, wishes can come true and with more than you wished for. My older brother is singer/songwriter and attended U.F. Tom Petty surpased the university for bringing Gainesville to life. It was a combination of seeing my bro play clubs like "Mad Monks" and "The Alibi" with beautiful women all around and Petty's popularity that inspired me to become a professional singer, songwriter, performer & Producer. Tom was playing in his hometown once while I was living there in 1994 and we tried very hard to get tickets but couldn't. The night after his big hometown show, I was playing at a little Italian place, I think it was called Nepalitano's. After playing my last song of the night people close to the stage were talking with me and I had to pee like a racehorse. When I finally broke away and headed for the restroom, I past a dark corner where I could just make out shadows from which I heard "sounded really good man." After a quick "thanks" in the mens room I was thinking "I know that voice" but couldn't place it. So on my way back out I took a good look and said thanks again. "You want to join us for a beer," sure I said just as I realized it was Tom Petty. I spent about an hour with him and someone from his road crew talking about music - precious moments I'll never forget. I'm very, very lucky and thankful to have kicked a few back with an idol and major influence on my life and career-~~~~~Peace be with you Tom, thanks for the treasure of brilliant music you've left us and for an hour I'll cherish until I pass - when I hope to kick a few more back with you....
That's a great memory ,,thanks for sharing ,,,,, tom would come to Calgary alberta and play for us ,, I've seen him over 3 times ,,,, i love him and cried when he died ,,its amazing how artists can touch our souls,,, tom petty is by far my top number one.
Wow what a great story. You were really fortunate to spend an hour with such a legend. I was lucky enough to see him in concert twice. Once with The Heartbreakers and again on a solo tour. He was great each time. Flawless musicianship and the guy had a down to earth charisma that was just amazing. R.I.P. Tom wherever you are, you are a true legend to us millions of fans.
Everyone who I've heard say they met him said, without ANY hesitation, that he was the nicest, the most humble, and the most grounded musician around. I wish I could have met him myself. Tom... when I get up there, I hope we can jam.
Tom Petty was great for a very long time, going all the way back to the 1970's, but unlike a lot of musicians who are good in one era, Tom continually got better every decade. In the 1990's he was huge because instead of him trying to fit into the era, the world finally caught up to him. Man, he is missed.
+WishIcould showmyname cant wait to learn it on the guitar and play it for my daughter really a nice thought its a great song man makes me happy when im down
WishIcould showmyname but my daughter grew up just nuts about Spike. I told her it was a song about a drunk laying on the ground arm around his dog and asking him for advice except Spike was scaring his wife. I thought that's what it was about too. Whoof?
I still have this cd. I miss the 90's. Ripped jeans, flannels, grunge music, and of course this awesome album of his. Tape decks were still current. CDs were available but new (early 90s). The internet was in its infancy. No cell phones to stare at. You could browse music shops and video stores. I could probably keep going but I'll stop there. RIP Tom. Thanks for the music memories.
In this song, Tom shows us a special secret, a special skill that many people have. Check out the singular people in the video; you can call 'em weirdos, but in THEIR minds they're all KINGS. As he says in the song, it's a place in his mind that he goes to. I like a lot of his songs, but this one is special. It's important that I can go to that place, so I can be King, since it seems that Darwin doesn't get to choose, so much, anymore. Watch the end of the video. Fortune passes everywhere.
Bring a serious sound system to truly enjoy this like it should be. A lot of nuances you'll never hear with headphones or Bluetooth speakers. When I listen to this, the whole damn block does too 😁
Every man has an "empty box" in their minds where they like to go from time to time. It's the place of absolute peace and quiet; it's the time when a man's eyes become sort of glazed and they're just absent from the moment and time. No woman has ever understood this and probably never will. I always feel, when listening to this song, that it's exactly what this song is all about. It's good to be king, if just for a while. Cheers, Tom Petty.
Man that's like the best explanation of when we as men let are thoughts wander and they ask us what we're thinking of🤔( 10 billion things) but we politely say oh nothing
3:55 mark for me, beginning of the outro...that gentle piano rumble with the strings joining. Sounds like distant thunder and it's kind of transportive if I'm honest. Love you Tom.
CorkeyThatcher Go listen to the end of Rhinoskin from 2;45 on with headphones and One More Day, One more night from 4:00 til the end. Its a musical Orgasm
As beautiful as this song is, and as consummate as it is performed, the images in the video and all of those characters is just phucking unbelievable ! Who are they? Where did they come from ? Where are they going ? Whose imaginary galaxy are they permanent residents of ? I wanna go there ! ! !
This song is unbelievable. Only from a great talent like Petty would we be blessed to experience the joy of having this music to listen to. We love you Tom. RIP.
This song is meant to be ironic. In your imagination you can be King. You can dress as one & play the part. Many real Kings do. It is a satirical song and an analytical masterpiece.
I lost my big sister in July 23rd 2021. She took me for the 1st time to see tom petty in 1977 at the UF bandshell. I treasure all the times I saw tom petty with her. They were awesome!
All those times she took me to see tom petty in Gainesville. 1977, 1978 1979,1980 and again in 1982. He was the best. Run in paradise Ter and K'nay'nay.
For those here who care: Portraying several different cultures illustrates the idea of Cycles. Portraying people wearing old clothings and costumes in old decors, objects and antiques also illustrates the idea of Cycles. Things change. The world is revolving. Nothing is permanent. This video is about the United States of America "being King for a while". And ultimately falls down to decay and ruins and fades away. As all things do. And it ends on a silent God Bless America. Extremely talented Director. I think this is my favorite song and music video of the 90s.
Me too especially the ending of the song makes me think about my dad he liked Tom petty and the heartbreakers he died from a brain tumor did my father I miss him a lot
I kind of agree but idk about escaping reality. I think some of the things that can make people feel like a king can be very real...like getting high or picking up a prostitute.
When my son was 15 , I figured it was time to take him to his first concert- he wanted to see guns & rosés or rage against the machine ----Tom Petty was my choice and what a show - h inspires me as a musician and my son thanked me for picking Tom and a new fan was born - it’s good to be king
I remember 8 years ago when I first was learning to drive and my dad went with me, he played this song for me and I loved the ending and I thought it sounded beautiful. Now here we are in 2017 and Tom Petty is gone ;( Rest In Peace rock legend
The beauty or ugly perspective is boring,Tom Petty was a man with a talent that not many come close,I always admire his great skills as singer, songwriter,frontman for me ,and I'm straight,he was beautiful
I was at the rock n roll hall of fame last week. They have an awesome Tom Petty display there. He had both sides of a hallway and was one of the larger displays I saw that day. It was moving to see his hand written lyrics to several songs including my favorite, this one! They also had a flannel shirt and pair of jeans that he wore on the cover of the Rolling Stone. Rest In Peace, Tom.
The strings and piano at the end-wow,! first heard this today walking outside with headphones on and was taken aback at how powerful it is, truly beautiful
Besides this song being amazing, I love how they go to the minor chords at the end. It just adds the sadness. Also it’s so sad to think that unlike a LOT of other artist that started in the 70’s, his song writing was becoming better and better. The music we missed out on.
My gosh that's so beautiful but so sad. I didn't realize how handsome Tom Petty really was. He's so gorgeous and serious performing that song. I miss him.
I Miss Tom Petty So Fucken Much! he's one of the biggest losses in music. we are so lucky we have beatifully painful music to listen n soothe our own pain, heartbreak n lossess too, Tom's music has been my guide though many heartaches n breaks. Tom Petty Is A Legend and will never be forgotton and his music will live forever! 💔
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers the King of kings is coming soon, to take all that is his and leave all else to be burnt. Whatever stands thru the fire of God will stand forever and forever. Jesus is the only way to stand that fire. All those who've refused to believe in him and live according to the direction/instruction/leading of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ are about to pay up on a debt that no man could pay off. You ppl have no idea what is about to come!!! Those in Christ take no thought of it. We know we're outta here 1st!!! COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!!! ('bout 2 weeks or so)
The song It's Good to be KING. THE PIANO AT THE END always brings goosebumps to my arm, then I know it's a truly amazing song. Just like stairway to heaven by led Zeppelin.

True
Amen!!!
It sure is.😢
He crossed my mind today,, that’s why I’m here ❤
Amen
Its a tribute song about Elvis. Tom has said in interviews meeting Elvis as a kid changed his life forever. Made him want to be a rock star
Wow I didn't know that! 😮 saw Tom Petty live in the 80s they discovered this album in the 90s and I was so impressed again
Tom Petty has never made one bad song.
TRUTH
Dan Dehnke liar. everyone writes a shitty song
Girl on LSD is kind of a shitty song by Tom Petty. Everyone has a bad song or two.
his voice osmetimes pisses me off
John Leaf ...(facepalm)
A hidden gem of the Petty discography. That outro is pure magic

The outro transports me right back to that time in the ‘90’s
Why to I start to tear up every time I hear him ???
Duh.

I've been misinformed for years.
Tom Petty is The definition of shy-cool. That person who is kinda quiet but they just scream cool.
That is a cool description
You're king now Tom. Rest in peace. And thank you for the immense amount of incredible music you gave us. Will always remember you.
He was always the king, and he forever will be.
Yea, he is incredible and thanks for it. We feel the same.
I call Tom Petty the 'king' of folk rock!
amen
Long live the king..
He makes melancholy a beautiful thing. The older i get, the more I appreciate Tom’s genius.
The older I get the longer I want to live to enjoy his music!
Tom Petty is a musical genius. There's really nothing more to say.... the guy has pretty much never made a bad song.
+Kenneth Merriman I agree.
+Kenneth Merriman Except for "Jack" on Highway Companion, I'm all on board.
couldn't have said it better, besides the gd, but yes, a genius. How in the world could he be overlooked. Man, his music is purely phenomenal!
couldn't agree more
U are right bro
We lost one of the greatest song writers ever.
We didn't lost him, we got him.
Absoloutly
I demand they play this at my funeral, or I'm not coming. ⚰
🤣👍🇨🇦
Good to….see Tom, see how good he looks, remembering!

Thanks for reading my humble comment. Please do anything you personally can to increase peace for ALL. It would help everyone, starting with yourself.
Great speech, i do :)
Wtf is this shit
Damn, it's really been 5 years...doesn't seem that long. Maybe because he never really left our hearts and minds. True legend.
Amazing Song & Seriously Underrated, One of his Very Best in my opinion... Thank You Tom!
You better have a serious sound system to enjoy this like it should be.
Bluetooth speakers won't cut it.
Analog forever, man!❤

I love this song, especially towards the end as the strings gently enter; haunting and exquisitely beautiful - thank you, Tom…..
Love that word: exquisite.
3:55 mark for me, beginning of the outro...that gentle piano rumble with the strings joining. Sounds like distant thunder and it's kind of transportive if I'm honest. Love you Tom.

This should have a billion views. They are so under appreciated
Tom is an amazing story teller. Peace.
dadgad68 yes
True
“Can I help it if I, have a place in my mind, that I go time to time”. Love Tom Petty and love this song.
From 4:00 to the end of the song, you simply must listen to it with headphones. That whole section has a power to teleport you to far off places.
***** Thanks Giants Fan. I'll go looking for it.

It doesn't sound like there's any reverb on it at all. Completely dry. Sounds great and fits the track perfectly.

for all of the great music.
Best song yes. Just now discovering it. I’m 75 and have listened to him since late 70’s
This song is unbelievable. Only from a great talent like Petty would we be blessed to experience the joy of having this music to listen to. We love you Tom. RIP.
This song is meant to be ironic. In your imagination you can be King. You can dress as one & play the part. Many real Kings do. It is a satirical song and an analytical masterpiece.
This song is about drugs, thats how i took it and relate too anyway.
I take it as knowing your place in the world while retaining your dignity.
Songs about the environment.And whats gonna be left of it for our kids if we don't take care of it.
Maybe. I think this like any other great song is intentionally left to the listeners' interpretations. Everyone thinks of something else...
this song is about whales and how they relate to sealife while being mammals..

Me, too.
Does anyone know where this video was filmed it's somewhat familiar but can't place it ? Thank you
I think this song is basically about people escaping reality, into their mind, where they're king, and anything goes.
+Alex Heine absolute !!!!!
+Alex Heine I think its about how crazy women make men but we love them anyway.
I kind of agree but idk about escaping reality. I think some of the things that can make people feel like a king can be very real...like getting high or picking up a prostitute.
+Ender Skies Rock Stars don't pay them to for sex, they pay them to leave.
its about taking in control of your own life
Tom Petty was really something special!

YOUR ON THE BIG STAGE.
I loved him since 1980. I actually cry over his death more than others close to me
With these ads, I’ll be dead of old age by the time they reveal what helps. Or how much they really want.
That guitar riff gets me everytime 💯 the piano keys and orchestra in the back 💯 GIVES IT SO MUCH MORE UMPH that just makes this whole song GREAT!
I just think it's a good soul searching song.
yes it is about soul searching....
- agree, soul-searching.

He's beautiful. I don't know why some people said he was ugly. He has something special.
Don't talk to people that are like that

What a great song! a piece af art
He was such a great artist.

heard this song for the first time today and i love it.

Excuse me if I have a place in my mind...where I go from time to time. OMG. This is so me. Rip. Mr. Petty❤️
The strings and piano at the end-wow,! first heard this today walking outside with headphones on and was taken aback at how powerful it is, truly beautiful
That was always my favorite part
R.I.P Tom , You brought peace to so many!
Besides this song being amazing, I love how they go to the minor chords at the end. It just adds the sadness.
Also it’s so sad to think that unlike a LOT of other artist that started in the 70’s, his song writing was becoming better and better. The music we missed out on.
RIP Petty you were the best
Tom Petty IS definitely the best!!!
My gosh that's so beautiful but so sad. I didn't realize how handsome Tom Petty really was. He's so gorgeous and serious performing that song. I miss him.
Check him out in "You Don't Know How it Feels....." those eyes....
This video could be released today and still be awe-inspiring.
Christ being the ultimate King. Petty had it right.
from 3, 59 till end..michael camen`s strings..makes me shiver, so strange ..deep and dark..
My favorite part. Love it!
When Tom passed it felt like my heart was ripped out of chest cavity. I loved when he played himself in Kevin Costner movie the postman. RIP
Thanks for the memories.
Went in a rock star ⭐️ left us a rock star ⭐️ ❤☝️💥✝️legend!
One of my favorite songs, ever. Even better live!
They can burn his house. They cannot burn his music or his memory. He was King. Our king.x
another star is chaining in the sky for all of us u are immortal u never be forgotten
THERE WAS A POINT WHERE I COULDNT STOP LISTENING TO THIS SONG. IT HELPED ME.
The song is just another example of seamless perfection
I Miss Tom Petty So Fucken Much! he's one of the biggest losses in music. we are so lucky we have beatifully painful music to listen n soothe our own pain, heartbreak n lossess too, Tom's music has been my guide though many heartaches n breaks. Tom Petty Is A Legend and will never be forgotton and his music will live forever! 💔
Legend. RIP King.
Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers the King of kings is coming soon, to take all that is his and leave all else to be burnt. Whatever stands thru the fire of God will stand forever and forever. Jesus is the only way to stand that fire. All those who've refused to believe in him and live according to the direction/instruction/leading of the Holy Spirit of Jesus Christ are about to pay up on a debt that no man could pay off. You ppl have no idea what is about to come!!! Those in Christ take no thought of it. We know we're outta here 1st!!! COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS!!! ('bout 2 weeks or so)
The song It's Good to be KING. THE PIANO AT THE END always brings goosebumps to my arm, then I know it's a truly amazing song. Just like stairway to heaven by led Zeppelin.
Kurby Parman I get goosebumps also at the end! Such a good song.
no stairway
Very important are strings , arr. by lately Michael Kamen, Genius of Musik !!! That REALLY Gives a goosebumps !! :)
Tench's piano playing is amazing
Rest in peace icon I loved you right from the beginning

Brilliant apocalyptic video from the Master, Tom Petty.

Feels like it got deeper
