I cannot watch this video without tears coming to my eyes - and sometimes just openly sobbing. Never knew how much I loved his music until he was taken from us too soon. God bless his precious memory. Sun's gone down on a canyon wall.
I feel the exact same way. i have always loved his music but when he was gone its like panic! oh no life without tom petty and his great smile. He gave and shared with us himself. WHAT A GIFT!OVE YOU ALWAYS TOM❤❤❤
Tom Petty did what was right .I have such mad respect and appreciation for him as a human first and one of the BEST musician's of ALL time 💘 He came back and picked these old friends/ band mates - Rockers up - gave them a shot at fame 💙🎶 Love you , TP and Heartbreakers -💘 props to Mudcrutch. 🎶 Miss you Tom Petty ❤️
"Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things" - Tom Petty
Only recently discovered this "gem".....It's sensational ....That Rickenbacker that Tom plays sounds awesome and with Mike Campbell & Benmont Tench in the line up,can't go wrong. Man,how I miss Tom Petty..It hurts.
“I’m a loser at the top of my game” “she was a part of my heart now she’s a line in my face” “most things I worry about never happen anyway” “drinking like a lumberjack and singing Delta Dawn” are just some of my favorite Petty lines. What an amazing songwriter.
The quality of this track is beyond amazing! I can hear all the instruments playing at the same time! What a brilliant band, and of course, Tom Petty is and will forever be the most prolific songwriter and performer of all time. NO ONE can replace Tom Petty!
I'm getting a flurry of promotions for things Bruce Springsteen is doing these days (spring 2019). I really was moved to laughter and tears during the Kennedy Centre Honours, mostly by Michelle Obama who had exquisite timing; but having read Springsteen's autobio and also Dylan's I'm struck by the lavishness and baroque timbre of their writing style. Tom never wrote anything but lyrics to music and never spoke unless he had something to say and it was usually funny or funny and furiously angry about some injustice. I don't think there was anyone ever like him. And this is probably a good place to stop and say tx for your great post.
Tom Petty is my go to through all life situations. There's always a great song that seems to fit. So grateful to get to see him in concert. I would have loved to meet him. So sad I will miss his musicdearly, however, I will never stop loving all his work with various musicians and groups. Love forever!!!
Tom Petty and the Mudcrutch lads. Got more talent in one used guitar pick, from one session, than most bands have in their entire careers! Not that I'm a biased fan, you understand :)
True bands will always have a true leader...he was a heck of a captain & great leader. He fought fiercely and lived hard...and it all "Sounded So Good". Original song written for Tom on the day he passed. ruclips.net/video/_B_Dui1G8aE/видео.html
This song feels like the spiritual successor to his '89 classic single I Won't Back Down -- and yet, with no disrespect to the latter as I love Full Moon Fever... Scare Easy easily surpasses I Won't Back Down in most every way. It's unbelievable that Petty is topping his own incredible heights, nearly 20 years later. "I am a loser at the top of my game" has to go down as one of the all-time great lyrics. Petty really had some incredible stuff going on in '08-'10, with the Mudcrutch and Mojo sessions at that LA-area practice warehouse they had. Scare Easy, Lover Of The Bayou, Something Good Coming, and Trip To Pirate's Cove... dude was pushing 60 years old at this time, and making some of the absolute best music of his life. Magic.
Tom's smile at the end of the song is how I will always remember him. This song to me has a kind of we got the band back together again vibe. They're having a great time and on what has become my fav Tom Petty song they just kill this version.
My favorite Mudcrutch song. I found this after Tom passed. I’ll never forget hearing it for the first time. Driving at 5am in the dark on my way to work. It hit me hard that morning. While there is no replacing TP, there is too much talent here to be silent.
Tom, Mike , and Benmont,,, Talent runs so deep when these guys put it out there. These three guys together could do no wrong musically. I'm overtaken in emotion hearing this. It's so unbelievably sad the music world had to lose Tom Petty.
chip tmcc I am 59 and remember his first bands name was Mud Crunch formed in the early ‘70’s. After a few years the band was called the TP and the Heartbreaker. I also remember going to one of his concerts in 1976, the ticket price was $14.00 dollars for front row seating. One of the best concert’s, I ever had the chance to see. My High School years. Greatest time of my life. Time slows down for No One.
Mike Campbell's sound is timeless. His guitar solos always fit the song. It's been that way since day one with he and Tom. No pretentiousness, no noodling around; precise, classy and dripping with a sweet tone that comes from a lifetime of listening to and playing music. That he has a good ear for deadly guitar and amp combinations is the icing on the cake.
Not quite sure, there are too many occasions to consider, but I don't think that I have ever heard Mike play so beautifully and Tom look so happy and relaxed.
RIP TOM PETTY. I bought TP&HB first LP back in 1977 when they were hit less & turned all of my friends on to the record. It has been a great ride & I will always cherish the many live shows that was fortunate to attend over these many years.

Only time I've seen a majority of people stay for credits after a movie is when this played at the end of "Appaloosa". (A vastly underrated movie)
Someone said it was that brilliant unreleased Wildflowers material .... I don't think so. He just beamed it down Scottie. Never will be anyone like him.
Just like love, life, god, and America, Tom Petty is and always will be forever in our hearts, souls, music, and memories. Thank you for all the hard times you got me, and many others through some tough times. God bless.
+cyrano66 Ooh, so beautifully put. Especially since that's how I've always seen Tom, as 'a brave heart, but a wounded heart; the kind that never heals.'
What ever Tom put his time and effort into turned to gold . A song writer who can make you feel upbeat on any given occasion . Your music lives on mate
I love you Tom...There will never be anyone like you ..ever...I miss you so.... You were my favorite artist....I am going to go cry now!!!!!! All about love...it is all about love........
Awesome song I just came across from Tom Petty and friends. First heard this song two nights ago at the end of the movie Appaloosa, a thrilling, well-made Western starring Ed Harris and Renee Zelwegger. I knew right away it was Petty singing, but could not place the song, which is very strange as I am a huge Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers fan and I know my music. I have seen Petty and his various bands many times, the first time in 1979. It still amazes me that he has been putting out great tunes for 40 years and is as good today as he was when he wrote "American Girl" circa 1976. Well, it turns out that this song is from a relatively new project of his called Mudcrutch, which includes members of the Heartbreakers, as well as some of his other close musician friends. This is an awesome song...one of my favorites he has ever done, and that is saying a lot! Check it out. The movie is good too.
Just as an FYI....Mudcrutch was the band before the Heartbreakers. Music is now only coming into its own. :) As it should...Great stuff...Thanks for making mention of the movie...I wasn't aware of it before now, so I'll definitely check it out...Thanks! :)
Thank you. Good stuff. Another rock history enthusiast! Ed Harris, who plays the lead male role in the movie, also wrote a song that they play during the ending credits after "Scare Easy." It's a good song called "You'll Never Leave My Heart." Check it out. By the way, I learned that Mudcrutch formed in 1970 in Petty's hometown of Gainesville, Fl., and was the house band at a local bar called Dub's Lounge, before they relocated to L.A. Anybody know whether Dubb's still exists?
I love all you guys whose lives have been irrevocably touched by Tom Petty and his brilliant band. 2021; anniversary of his death Oct 2. I found this poem, attribution disputed here it is: Do not stand by my grave and weep/I am not there I do not sleep. I am the thousand winds that blow/I am the diamond glints of snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain/I am the gentle autumn rain When you awake in the morning hush/I am the soft uplifting rush of great birds in circled flight/I am the soft stars in the night. Do not stand at my grave and cry: I am not there I did not die. Blessings upon Tom Petty who was a stalwart brilliant generous man who transcended his roots and remained someone to respect for always.
Caught the end of the film Appaloosa on tv and heard Tom Petty's dulcit tones! You always know when it's Tom..not just the.. voice the guitar and rythm is always with him :) Love the tune too and now I've found it on here :)
Just to mention, the two bands both share Tom Petty (guitar in Heartbreakers and bass in Mudcrutch) plus singer songwriter for both, Mike Campbell lead guitar for both, Benmont Tench keyboards for both, two drummers for Heartbreakers and One for Mudcrutch...then add the original lead guitar Tom Leadon, brother of Bernie Leadon original Eagle. Most everyone is from Gainesville, Florida which is my home town.
My love's an ocean, you better not cross it. Lyrics to live by. Love you Tom Petty. Thanks for all your musical talent. You will live among us forever in music.
@payday 1963 What you say is true. More like the grandpa though. Rebel and Jammin Me came first so perhaps your right Those songs are all children of this original "middle finger in the air" creation... so you are right father of them all!!!
WTF is wrong with the four of you or however many you are ... stoned out of your respective trees and one of you actually edited his comment??? Won't Back Down was seriously in the mist of time and hard for TP to be seen as the stubborn single-minded man he was, and thank god he was. So unlike every other band leader, he regroups his people from his personal history and you get brilliant collaboration and of course he's going to come up with lyrics on this theme because that is who he is. Who cares which came first? Why am I replying to this crap????? Sometimes I really hate the internet.
@@evelynbaron2004 WTF are you getting all excited about?! It's simple intellectual interaction. So what if I edited my comment? You ain't my momma so I could care less what you think, or say !!!
@@benjaminpbarrett8546 By now you know perfectly well that what you call a simple intellectual interaction was a bunch of yahoos being offensive for fun. What I admired most about Tom was what is termed negative capability; the ability to empathically put yourself into the shoes of someone you may dislike, but understand. A good example of that was the song Rebels, which almost cost him his hand. I wish you well, and am glad we will never meet.
Man that is just awesome. Whether with the Heartbreakers or Mudcrutch, TP just has that everlasting FM sound that just gently caresses the make of your head. What a beauty.
I know some will think this comment way over-the-top, but to me this song ranks with songs like "You Don't Know How It Feels" or "Mary Jane" or even "Free Falling" or "American Girl" as one of his best songs ever. Ditto "Orphan of the Storm" and "Wrong Thing to Do," (from Mudcrutch also) these are such hidden gems. At nearly 60 years of age the man has still got it. And Mike Campbell must be one of the most underrated guitarists ever.
Tom's Mudcrutch songs seem like closest thing to "classic Petty" he's recorded since after 1999. He, Mike, Benmont, and the other guys had this band when they were teens, so I'm sure it instantly brings them back to their youth jamming together.
fah q (My bad, didn't see this before.) The title track is good, and I love his message with that album, but musically it just didn't really jump out at me the way Refugee or You Got Lucky or something did.
Tom, you have been in my life since I was that young teen in 1982, discovering my love of Rock n Roll, and everything that comes with it. Your songs saw me in every phase of my life since, and no matter how long I live, I shall never forget you. God love you Tom, and Thank You.
I cannot watch this video without tears coming to my eyes - and sometimes just openly sobbing. Never knew how much I loved his music until he was taken from us too soon. God bless his precious memory. Sun's gone down on a canyon wall.
Michael AMEN SIR. Life doesn't make sense sometimes 😔
Amen!!!
Yup, always makes me cry
Me too
But There was so much I'd never heard thanks to the lousy Radio moguls
I feel the exact same way. i have always loved his music but when he was gone its like panic! oh no life without tom petty and his great smile. He gave and shared with us himself. WHAT A GIFT!OVE YOU ALWAYS TOM❤❤❤
Masterclass in American songwriting by one of the masters of all time. We’re hurting’ without you , Tom.
Grief does not get lighter over time. It's been over five years. Gone too soon. Named my son after Tom in 1987.
Like everything in life every one passes but we still have his music...He was a master story teller
@@jeffhodge7333he remains the benchmark for resliance re loss of loved ones who died and how to corrall anger at sadness.
Very well said
Gone too soon
Tom Petty did what was right .I have such mad respect and appreciation for him as a human first and one of the BEST musician's of ALL time 💘 He came back and picked these old friends/ band mates - Rockers up - gave them a shot at fame 💙🎶 Love you , TP and Heartbreakers -💘 props to Mudcrutch. 🎶 Miss you Tom Petty ❤️
Good on ya'

Pareil !
It's timeless
Amen brother amen
I think I have, still blessed to have been on this big blue marble with the likes of TOM PETTY 🎸🎩💘
Only recently discovered this "gem".....It's sensational ....That Rickenbacker that Tom plays sounds awesome and with Mike Campbell & Benmont Tench in the line up,can't go wrong.
Man,how I miss Tom Petty..It hurts.
Tom on the Ric bass. So freaking great! What an incredible band. Won’t ever be another one like this. Damn, It does HURT to miss Tom.
His music when I was a teenager was uplifting when I was down.
Its an outstanding composition right
Preaching to the choir hun, 💜 been a fan since I was a teenager, I'm in my 60's now I might have an OCD problem, I don't care hee hee🎩🎸💘

I'm still so heartbroken over the loss of this great artist. Tom, your music will live forever.
Chick Filet I will never get over the loss of Tom Petty, I spent the whole day praying for him, believing in miracles. Not so much now.
Those who we think have died, might possibly not have. We'll see, once this shitshow we're caught in is finally over. Truth is coming.
"I DON'T FALL APART WHEN I AM UNDER THE GUN!"
A TRUE AMERICAN TREASURE
Song is criminally underrated
as are most of his works
I'm getting a flurry of promotions for things Bruce Springsteen is doing these days (spring 2019). I really was moved to laughter and tears during the Kennedy Centre Honours, mostly by Michelle Obama who had exquisite timing; but having read Springsteen's autobio and also Dylan's I'm struck by the lavishness and baroque timbre of their writing style.

"I'm a loser at the top of my game" Awesome lyric
@@marinalariva9720 First time I heard that, I thought what a great line.
You know it’s a good song when it’s locked behind a paywall on amazon🤪
Mike Campbell, one of the all the time greats !
such a passionate solo ...
Randall Marsh just looks psyched to be playing. So cool. That and Tom’s smile at the end to me define how much fun that must have been for them.
Appaloosa brought me to this song years ago. Fitted the film perfectly
Love the song, and the film 🎥 🎞!!!
Same here !
It doesn't matter why you passed Tom. What counts is how your music touched me. I will always be grateful. Thanks for everything.
Well said

Tom Petty has explained me to myself since I was a teenager. Thank you, sir, for all those beautiful songs
U got it !
Thanks! But isn't it so? :-)
me too...actually age 20
Same here.
As I'm the same age as Tom, I've loved the music from 1970 until the present. So pretty much all my life.
Professional musicians at the top of their game.
RIP To both Toms. Sad that they are both gone so soon.
One of the most badass songs ever written...so good. Love when Tom does western cowboy music...what a legend
Tom petty is good for the soul.
Amen! Mate!
yep he sure is . miss him badly
I really miss tom.. Such a bullshit way to go..
My first favorite musician at 4 years old
Damn right he is!!
Tom's smile at the end of the song is how I will always remember him. This song to me has a kind of we got the band back together again vibe. They're having a great time and on what has become my fav Tom Petty song they just kill this version.
I don’t scare easy…. I got a sin I ain’t never confessed. Thank you lord for making Tom.
Thank you, Tom Leadon. This project came out of nowhere to me back then. Still sounds like success to me. RIP.
This is one of my all time fave songs..
It's like an anthem to live by

At least you found it!!!! I love TP

Won't Back Down was seriously in the mist of time and hard for TP to be seen as the stubborn single-minded man he was, and thank god he was. So unlike every other band leader, he regroups his people from his personal history and you get brilliant collaboration and of course he's going to come up with lyrics on this theme because that is who he is. Who cares which came first? Why am I replying to this crap????? Sometimes I really hate the internet.
@@evelynbaron2004 WTF are you getting all excited about?! It's simple intellectual interaction. So what if I edited my comment? You ain't my momma so I could care less what you think, or say !!!
@@benjaminpbarrett8546 By now you know perfectly well that what you call a simple intellectual interaction was a bunch of yahoos being offensive for fun. What I admired most about Tom was what is termed negative capability; the ability to empathically put yourself into the shoes of someone you may dislike, but understand. A good example of that was the song Rebels, which almost cost him his hand. I wish you well, and am glad we will never meet.
This song is perfection
He had the most beautiful smile ❤
"I'm a loser at the top of my game"- one of the greatest lines in any song ever recorded and words I live by daily
Damn right
Me too. .
Man that is just awesome. Whether with the Heartbreakers or Mudcrutch, TP just has that everlasting FM sound that just gently caresses the make of your head. What a beauty.
I wish Tom Petty was still with us. I miss the old boy. God bless him.
This song is on the soundtrack to the movie Appaloosa. Truly a modern western classic!
Was thinking of all the musicians I love. Mudcrutch came to mind. Peace 🎼🎵🎶🎶🎵
UNFORGETABLE GUYS
God I love this song ..perfect .."my hearts an ocean , ya better not cross it ". ..perfection
Its been 7 months and I still miss Tom so much. 😢💔
Tom passed away just moments ago. What a loss and so young. His great music is timeless and will be with us forever.
Great ending song for Apparloosa, couldn't have been better.
Superb song and movie
I love the band “Mudcrutch” for me this is one of they’re best songs. It says so much! This song makes me miss Tom Pettys beautiful talent!🥰🎸🧚🏻♂️
I just went through firestorm in Santa Rosa. This song helped. A lot!
Still hard to wrap my head around it, but you're really gone. Thank you for all the music.
They all look so happy. And why wouldn’t they creating such wonderful music?
I know some will think this comment way over-the-top, but to me this song ranks with songs like "You Don't Know How It Feels" or "Mary Jane" or even "Free Falling" or "American Girl" as one of his best songs ever. Ditto "Orphan of the Storm" and "Wrong Thing to Do," (from Mudcrutch also) these are such hidden gems. At nearly 60 years of age the man has still got it. And Mike Campbell must be one of the most underrated guitarists ever.
It makes me very happy to hear people making music like this! it resonates deeply with me... thx Mudcrutch
Unexpected emotion watching this. ☹️ Gawd how I miss him.
This was the PERFECT ending credits song for Appaloosa. I don't get why, but it really moved me.
I miss this man more everyday....but he is always right there....
Says a lot about Tom. With all the fame he goes back and makes awesome music with his old friends. Class act!
He always fought for what was right. Several times. If there was ever someone to "Hero Worship" it would be Tom, hands down.
Tom Petty should be classed as a National Treasure in perpetuity. Truly one of the greatest Americans to have ever lived.
Tom's Mudcrutch songs seem like closest thing to "classic Petty" he's recorded since after 1999. He, Mike, Benmont, and the other guys had this band when they were teens, so I'm sure it instantly brings them back to their youth jamming together.
+JPMcFly1985Two oh come on the last dj is classic frickin tom
fah q (My bad, didn't see this before.) The title track is good, and I love his message with that album, but musically it just didn't really jump out at me the way Refugee or You Got Lucky or something did.
Wrong!!!

Tom, you have been in my life since I was that young teen in 1982, discovering my love of Rock n Roll, and everything that comes with it. Your songs saw me in every phase of my life since, and no matter how long I live, I shall never forget you. God love you Tom, and Thank You.
I feel the same way. Refugee was the first Petty song I had ever heard around 81or 82. He is the soundtrack of my life.
thee4thdoctor he was one of us losers....
I’ve always adored this song. In 2022 I’m imagining this on an episode of Yellowstone!
I am so gutted with the loss of this magical man. Where's our bliss now....forever diminished with the absence of this remarkable voice in my ear.
