its hard to say how much this guy has made my life better, i know that sound strange but just reflect for a moment how much music has enriched your life
@Nicholas couldn’t agree more.
Music is my 2nd Grand Passion in life…after dogs. My whole life has a soundtrack, complete songs pop into my head. A life without music and dogs…unacceptable.🎶🎶🐾🐾❤️❤️
BAM BAM "Don't play that ANYMORE" 🤣 Loved Tom's sense of humor.
Tom Petty and his music are so solid and consistent. It rocks, yet it's mellow too. It's Hip and it's timeless.
When I was 10 this song came out. I told my mother Tom wrote this song for me because I was waiting on some big news. In 1985 when he wrote Rebels I told her he wrote that song for me. I was born on Sunday in Atlanta. I told her I wanted to be in his band and she said keep practicing your piano and when you graduate from college if you still want to you can. When I was a freshman in college the Wilbury's came out and mother said maybe we will both be groupies 😄. Tom's in Heaven with mother now, I like to think they are groovin! 🎸
Petty is a music God, up there with Beatles, Dylan and so on.
Higher up
Better
Dude Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers is the soundtrack to my life
Mr. TOM EARL PETTY hats off to you, you are so likable. Better than the beatles. Better than the stones. No ego . Just pure and simple rock n roll. PETTY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nothing but tears in my eyes, what a beautiful human being Tom Petty was (and Eddie Vedder's childlike adoration has me choked up too.) 🎸❤🎸❤
I love the part when he say's "Don't play that any more". funny. I saw him in concert in Indy last July. I always liked them but after that I realized how much. It makes us wish we could go back in time and have known them.
This clip just cracks me up when Tom says it went on for weeks, with the first chords, some lyrics came finally, and people banging on the wall saying "don't play that anymore" -- LOLOL! Seems rather appropriate -- "Waiting" for the song to come together was certainly worth it! He had the most incredible smile! Missing you, Tom.
I think he was just maximizing comedic effect. It's hard to believe he wouldn't have owned a house at this point.
@@Ben-to8vt yes, and he seems to have had an incredible sense of humor!❤️❤️
Tom Petty is the definition of rock n roll, no bs, real, fucking awesome rock n roll.
My favorite interview clip from Tom Petty is how he wrote "The Waiting." So funny, but so genuine in how hard he worked at his craft.
Baby don't it feel like Heaven right now
Damn, I love this lyric.
i was reading the comments ( not all) there are some 3 months to 12yrs. Toms music will never get old. he was a true rocknroller. but SO humble, so honest. but he Always stayed grounded and true to rock. most sell out sadly. i thought it funny. when eddie said all the girls LOVED Tom😁 cause I always have have. I'm no spring chicken lol. but when he was gone all the music by him I had never heard before blew my mind. miss you Tom so so so so much.
The GREATEST AMERICAN SONGWRITER!!!!
Simply the greatest American Band, period.
He was a cool cowboy, who rode his way... he wrote classics, as good as anyone! One of my favorites for sure.
A true talent. Gonna miss him
I fuckin love Tom Petty! What a cool dude.

U agree totaly
Ilove the SHIT out of this song. it actually responsible for me getting into his music. I heard it a few times on the radio, went out and bought the album and the rest is history. Best $15 I've ever spent.
Nikki Ugly you are
Same here, I liked tom Petty before I heard this but this cemented me as a solid fan
We'll nerver forget you, Tom... The waiting it's over... Rock In Peace !
Best Tom Petty song ever. Miss him like crazy
I really like the way Eddie Vedder sings this one! Totally my favorite Petty song!
What an amazing song in music history, I love that performance with Eddie, He kills it You can tell he just was in heaven being there with Tom.
I have always loved Tom Petty. Throughout every interview he had seemed to me to be just a regular, humble guy who achieved greatness
The beauty and secret of great music lies within the lyrics. Dylan, Petty, Young, Jagger, Nelson, and a bunch of others really cant sing that well but damn the strong lyrics, the tight band and the craftmanship are what make these artists great!
I love how he built the song piece by piece and came to through sheer repetition, waiting for the right idea to introduce itself. So often with these wonderful songs you assume they came in a bolt of inspiration, but it shows how much of the creative process is about stubborn persistence. Super inspiring.
Well, like the man said, the waiting is the hardest part :) It takes a while, with some songs, to get them over the line. Very occasionally you can be lucky and it comes out almost in a stream.
true that. just growing up from mid 70's to the 90's, really, all his stuff is in your life, even if you don't like him! I'm just coming around again to re-discovering his music after hearing refugee for who knows how many times on the radio. but like eddie vedder says, you remember the feeling in your gut when you hear each of these songs, especially like The Waiting, this one has taken on a whole new meaning for me now as I'm in my early 30's. I can't stop listening to it, it's beautiful!
January, 2022 and I still miss Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. True rockers. Timeless.
"Baby don't it feel like heaven right now" is a great way to open a song! Not only that but alot of the greatest songs ever written have taken weeks or even years to write.
The live in 85 concert. Do yourself a favor. Mike Campbell absolutely kills in it. Blows me away every time.
I just love this man and his music. Truly miss him.
In an interveiw,Tom says this is his best song;But that was 1989.Everything he does is good.
Petty has always been my favorite. I try to see him every time he comes to FL. Loved him since I was younger. Classic, excellent showman, awesome in concert and I never tire of seeing or hearing him! Excellent documentary!
the greatest singer to ever live... talking about the greatest song in the world...
Just saw him in concert in indianapolis. What a great show, and it was surprising there was a lot of young fans there. Good to see.
Dude was too cool
I can't articulate just how much I miss him. Thanks, Tom. You save me more than once.
I agree, what a way to open a song: "well, don't it feel like heaven right now/don't it feel like something from a dream. " God, what a songwriter, what a man he was! So missed.
Bow Down To Petty
Loving memories of Tom and his sound track to my life. Tom petty oct 20 1950 to oct 2 2017 ❤
Great song... always was. And not a big Eddie fan BUT - he nailed that. I like that - respect and love for Tom. My opinion of Eddie just went up 1000%. WTG y'all. Hang in there TOM!
@1:00 Honestly the opening clip of Tom strumming IS heaven.
2021 and his music is still so good
One of the best songs every by Tom and the Heartbreakers! So going to miss him!
I don't think I could live without this guy.....his music is as good as it gets....I just can't wait for the live anthology to come out!
Deep stuff winding webs into reality. Transcending time and reality itself. Music is the backbone of reality.
Recently bought a twelve string guitar, I always find myself playing this anytime i pick it up! Tom is such an inspiration to me
Awesome to hear the though process into it. Such a great song writer and music legend. Miss TP. Glad I got to see him once live in person.
This man was so down to earth. We miss you immensely Tom.
Stand your ground! Waiting is the hardest part..God do I know! God bless this talented man.We will miss him and my Forever in heaven husband .Play well my friend and loved one
His opening lyrics always hit hard
This is one of my all tiem favorites...One its a GREAT song!!! It JAMS!! And two Benmont is so cute in the video....:)
Love this man so much miss him.wish he was here with us and his family
Artrist supreme. Thanks Tom Earl
One of his best
Such an amazing song. Tom Petty was a song writing genius. The lyrics just blow my mind.
By far and way above the rest the best Tom Petty song. Has good a song as Dylan ever made and has good a song as the Beatles ever made. Tom was a classic American rock God. His music as it was played and produced
His music really powerfull and played perfectly.
So inspiring. What a guy
I remember around 1979(give or take) I bought an 8 track of Your Gonna Get It after I head Joe Anthony "The Godfather of Rock and Roll" in San Antonio play "I need to Know" on 99.5 KISS FM. My 1st wife said "I never heard of Tom Petty". I use to request Joe and Lou to play it all the time back then. Met the drummer a few years ago at sycamore cove, he was a guest speaker for C.A. Peace Out Tom.
Cool video. TP is amazing and it’s nice to still have EV around. Not lost to the grunge scene like so many others.
Miss him so much.
Incredible song! Thank you, Tom Petty.
Whenever I feel down, when life gets on top of me and I can't shake off that feeling, I fall back on Tom and he does the job. Every time. It's so sad that he's gone, but what a body of work he left for us.
Eddie Vedder is one of my favorite people ever. And I about lost my shit when I heard his voice.
And their version is the teets
If you don't have a TP and the HB's song on the soundtrack of your life, then you ain't got a rock and roll bone in your body.
Yes true, a real master, but also a bit stoned😎
Oh tom what a love
legend
Just lookin how to play the waiting and found this gem ! I sure know that “don’t play that anymore” line ! So funny ! But you just gotta do it over and over and over !
I guess I'm an old dinasour. I had this song on a 45 record, I believe night watchmen was the B side
Rest In peace Tom
Damn, I can't wait for this movie to come out. Judging by the trailer and this it will be awesome!!
That is a great riff........
Rip legend
King 👑
Thanks for posting!
Just a little lick 🤘🏻 #ForeverPetty
Timeless
Nice exploration of the creative process. As a writer (mostly of nonfiction, but also poetry), I can relate --
Ooh thank you!
Love Tom Petty❤
hes awesom..he was a guest star on the Simpsons, when Homer went to Rock N Roll camp.
I've had it on my dvr since summer when it first came on tv.
Smoke on Tom! Mr MOJO!
7 people must have been surfing the web on their phones, drunk, late at night and passed out with their thumb on the screen to miss that like button. Eddie Vedder and Tom Petty... How can you not like that combo?
0:00 a legend was born
Amazing. :)
i love you.
genius
Nice thing is this song can apply to anything, I only wish I listen to This band right away bc I was going through such I just didnt hear the lyrics.
When I hear that riff, I crank up the radio
soooo coool
ahhhh....can't wait!! :)
some things dont need saving
I'll be your breathin' heart,I'll be your cryin' fool ,don't let this go to far ,don't let it get to you...............things may come to those who wait but only the things left by those who hustle. Marshall May 17 /2017 XOX
He's so nonchalant about it all but this stuff is really history. Benmont is right; "The Waiting" is a great way to open an album "Baby don't it feel like Heaven right now" One of the best!
"Don't play that anymore!" haha
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Still love and miss you, T🎩m…
RIP.
Rest in petty
