American Girl, Refugee, and Breakdown are great songs. It's hard to go wrong with Tom Petty.
"American Girl" is a rocker!
Runn'n Down a Dream would be a perfect fit for this channels reactions
My Favorites are " You Got Lucky - Don't do me like that - Don't come around here no more"
@@Renkk17 Hell yeah !
All of these and "Don't Come Around Here No More".
"Don't Come Around Here No More", "Won't Back Down", "Mary Jane", "You Don't Know How It Feels" and of course "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around" with Stevie Nicks are all great songs.
Yassss!
do not forget .. "You got Lucky"
My Favorites are " You Got Lucky - Don't do me like that - Don't come around here no more"
Mary Jane's Last Dance is my favorite Tom Petty song.
But you can't go wrong with any of them.
"Into the Great Wide Open" is probably one of the best videos ever
He is from Gainesville Florida, since his death, every home game and the end of the quarter, the Florida Gators play his song, I won't back down and the whole stadium sings it, in his honor.
They also have a free tribute concert every year in the park on his birthday.
I'm not even that big of a petty fan but watching that video after he died made me tear up a bit.
This is correct.
I was with Tom 2 weeks before his final breath, this was one of his greatest songs ever. He was a Great Artist, Great Person and a Great Friend. I miss you Tom-RIP my brother!!!
How were u two friends?
I'm just a fan but I wish I could have met Tom. I'd told him how much I have enjoyed his music (and continue to enjoy it). Just wonderful. One of my favourite songs of his is "All the wrong reasons" from "Into the Great Wide Open" but there are so many I love. What a wonderful friend you had.
On todays episode of : „Things that never happened“🙄🙄🙄…🤦🏻♂️
I don't give a shit what you believe@@constantin5573
@@constantin5573 Guess what? There are people who knew Tom Petty and just because you didn't it doesn't mean they're not telling the truth.
From a Billboard Magazine interview with Tom Petty: “Free Fallin'”: “Jeff Lynne and I were sitting around with the idea of writing a song and I was playing the keyboard and I just happened to hit on that main riff, the intro of the song, and I think Jeff said something like, ‘That’s a really good riff but there’s one chord too many,’ so I think I cut it back a chord and then, really just to amuse Jeff, honestly, I just sang that first verse. Then he starts laughing. Honestly, I thought I was just amusing Jeff but then I got to the chorus of the song and he leaned over to me and said the word, ‘freefalling.’ And I went to sing that and he said, ‘No, take your voice up and see how that feels.’ So I took my voice up an octave or two, but I couldn’t get the whole word in. So I sang ‘freeee,’ then ‘free falling.’ And we both knew at that moment that I’d hit on something pretty good. It was that fast. He had to go somewhere, and I wrote the last verse and kind of just polished the rest of the song and when I saw him the next day I played him the song and he was like, ‘Wow, you did that last night?’ And I was like, ‘Yeah.’ And he said. ‘We’ve got to go cut this,’ and we just took off to Mike Campbell’s studio where we knew we could get in and get it done that day. So we went in and made the record that day.”
Tom, Jeff and Mike wrote the whole album, Full Moon Fever, just like that. One of my very favorite albums!
Wow. Great story. Wilbury magic! And we should all be talking about The Traveling Wilburys. THE supergroup of ALL supergroups. Talk about a loaded bench.
Yes, great share, thanks for that. 👌👍
Walls (circus), and Last Dance
Thank You! One of my favorites!
RIP Tom. He was a legend. The catalog is deep.
💗 💖 💘 💝 💟 ☮️
Truly a national treasure. I miss him.
A great actor as well. He was in a little-known movie (the critics panned it) called "Made In Heaven" [1987] starring Timothy Hutton and Kelly McGillis. Tom Petty had a cameo appearance as Stanky the auto mechanic playing off the evil Lucille (Ellen Barkin). Ric Okasek (of The Cars), Neil Young, and Amanda Plummer also had cameo roles.
I was so glad to watched hin in Cologne 2017
Don't ever let anyone tell you that Tom Petty was anything less than a musical legend who wrote top tier songs in a career which spanned over five decades. Two of my favorites I recommend are "Even the Losers" and "The Waiting". Tom was a genius musician and Lyricist.
Petty is brilliant. Expressing the exact opposite feelings in so few words. “Now I’m free!” “Free falling”. He’s a bad boy cause he don’t even miss her, but still lost without her.
Lots of tunes with *Tom Petty,* definitely a rabbit hole to go down. Here's some of the tunes *; American Girl, I Won't Back Down, Refugee, Mary Jane's Last Dance, Learning To Fly, Don't Come Around Here No More, You Got Lucky, Here Comes My Girl, Don't Do Me Like That, You Don't Know How It Feels, Listen To Your Heart, You Wreck Me, Runnin' Down A Dream, Even The Losers, I Need To Know, Breakdown and Stop Draggin'My Heart Around (Duet with Stevie Nicks).* *Love ❤️ Peace ☮️ and Happiness 😃 Y'all !!*
You got lucky ❤️🙌
My Favorites are " You Got Lucky - Don't do me like that - Don't come around here no more"
No American Girl? Can't believe how few reactions there are to that song. Meanwhile, every reactor does "You Don't Know How it Feels," presumably because of a single line in that song. Not a bad song, but c'mon!
@@RocketToTheMoose you're absolutely correct sir!! Good eye, good eye!! It has now been added to the list of incredible songs.
It's Good to be King, and Honey Bee too.
I think Tom Petty’s duet with Stevie Nicks will be reacted to soon…Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around
That is a great song in an interview Stevie Nicks said she was partying so much she doesn't even remember singing that song
"Insider" is another great duet with them.
It NEEDS to be seen!!!
The entire album this song is on "Full moon Fever" is my favorite album of all time. Not a bad song on it. Such a great artist.
i still have the tape, actually its in my tape deck right now young mc is in the other deck hahaha. my first columbia house order/scam
My Tom Petty faves are "Here Comes My Girl", "American Girl" and "Listen to her Heart"
“Here comes my girl” is his best
Yer so Bad is underrated
A man with so many great songs its unreal. Don’t know any song that he’s done that’s bad. Everyone of them are great. R.I.P Tom Petty
Literally not ONE throwaway song. Even the "new" songs they've released over the last two years, post humously, they're all INCREDIBLE. I prefer Tom's more obscure songs to his radio hits, songs like "Crawling Back To You" "Time to Move On" "To Find A Friend", "Don't Fade On Me"... all of Wildflowers and Echo..... I mean I used to think Dylan was the greatest songwriter in history, but when you listen to Tom, you question "was he better than Dylan"?
@@barbarascotto3873 Well, he probably took something from The Traveling Willburys sessions when he collaborated with George Harrison, Bob Dylan, and Roy Orbison as well as Jeff Lynn.
Tom Petty had so many hits. He was a well rounded song writer and rock performer. Seen his last concert before he died.
such sad news. I was on vacation when we heard of his passing :(
I saw him in the Woodlands. Was that his last?
⚡Happy good Vibes⚡were around Petty 😌 before He Went Home To
⚡Father God.⚡
⚡❤🥰👍🇺🇲⚡
It’s my duty to get high in all my RUclips videos or else , who is gonna do it💀
Tom is so missed. What an amazing artist he was. 😔❤️
Always loved Tom Petty! How could you NOT? He’s a LEGEND with a long playlist of good time, easy listening hits. sometimes have to remind myself that he’s gone. RIP Tom Petty 🎤🎸🎶🤘🏼
I followed Tom’s music since he started. It was such a sad day when he passed on. ☮️
I was in love with him as a kid, I wept like a baby when he died.
@@adamsgrad93 Me too. I just keep coming back to all the comments to see all the songs and see how nice everyone is.
I cried when he passed too, my mom was a big fan and played his music all the time when I was growing up. I considered going to see him for his last tour but money wasn’t right at the time I wasn’t able to -of course I didn’t think it would be the last time he would tour… needless to say I was absolutely DEVASTATED when he passed. I missed my last chance however, I did see him in concert once with my mom 10+yrs ago so I am glad that I got to see him live once. rip Mom and Tom
Tom Petty was a great songwriter. American Girl is my personal favorite.
American Girl is a must for anyone new to Tom Petty but you really cannot go wrong with anything by him. Learning to Fly and Even the Losers are two more must hear tracks. I really miss him... may he rest in peace and know how much his fans still love him.
Shout out to Jordan!!! Man goes to work, comes home and cares for his kids, and makes sure his lady is taking care of herself. That my friends is a REAL MAN!!!!
If you like Tom and Stevie Nicks, then you gotta do “Stop Dragging My Heart Around”
And/or "Insider(Hard Promises")..especially the live in Gainesville, FL version
And Weird Al's parody cover: "Stop Dragging My Car Around"
Tom Petty never released a bad song. Check out "American Girl", and, "Refugee" by him.
These two! Also I'd add "I Won't Back Down."
The lyrics deal with Los Angeles culture, mentioning actual places in the area: Reseda, Mulholland and Ventura Boulevard. It implies that the people of LA will casually use others for personal gain, as the singer has just dumped a girl and doesn't even miss her. Petty was born and raised in Gainesville, Florida and moved to LA with The Heartbreakers in 1974. His outsider perspective came in handy in this song. -Song Facts -
I'm surprised that Song Facts didn't mention that the freeway does not actually run through Reseda. It runs through Tarzana, which is south of Reseda. Reseda's southern border is Victory Blvd, which is about 10 blocks north of the 101 freeway. I say "about" because I never actually counted the blocks when I lived in Tarzana.
Both Tarzana and Reseda have the same number of syllables, so no idea why Tom chose the incorrect town when he wrote the song. Maybe it was name recognition - Reseda was the name of the town that Daniel Russo lived in in the original "Karate Kid" and people were more familiar with Reseda as a result than Tarzana. Tarzana's only real claim to fame is that it was named after Tarzan. The author of the Tarzan books was Edgar Rice Burroughs, perhaps the most famous resident of Tarzana in the town's early years. But most people don't know that fact.
@@TheCkent100 Burrows bought 540 acres of land then called Mil Flores for $125,000 and renamed it "Tarzana". As the land became more and more valuable he began to subdivide it and sold off most of it eventually...
@@george217 Thank you for the additional information. All I remember when I lived there was what was in the display in the post office, which only gave very basic information. That was more than 20 years ago, so some of my recollections were a little off. Thanks!
I find it interesting that he uses Reseda (and maybe it wasn’t like this when he wrote the song) but when I lived in Ventura/Oxnard (‘97-03) friends of mine considered Reseda a pretty crappy area riddled with porn shops and maybe still porn production companies. At least that was what these friends indicated to me. Maybe they were wrong. The same friends used to call Simi Valley “Slimy Valley” for whatever reason.
"Don't Come Round Here No More" is one of my favorites. I love the video on it. It is trippy and amusing. Tom makes a great Mad Hatter. :D
"Don't Come Around Here No More" has an amazing video - Tom Petty was very successful in the big days of MTV because he really did videos well! He was famous for a top hat he would wear.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are DA BOMB!! Try "Runnin' Down a Dream"!
This was from Tom Petty’s first solo album without his band the Heartbreakers. Although Petty has a great body of work, I really like the production style of this album by Jeff Lynne from ELO.
Around the time they made Full Moon Fever, they got together with George Harrison (from the Beatles), Roy Orbison, and Bob Dylan to form the Traveling Wilburys - and produced the greatest Supergroup album ever. Listen to Handle with Care and The End of the Line from that one.
Well, kinda without the Heartbreakers. Mike is all over the record; Benmont and Howie both made appearances. Stan was the only one not involved at all.
Tweeter and the Monkey Man is a jam! All the Wilbury's songs were great. Amazing artists that checked ego at the door and made great music together
@@markmatthews4481 that whole first album is phenomenal from start to finish.
I agree, the Traveling Wilburys should be among your future reviews, so much great music
To Gen Xers, Tom Petty was one of a very small group who defined our generation musically, along with Michael Jackson, Madonna, Phil Collins, and a few more. He was iconic.
As others have stated, this song was co-written by Jeff Lynn (of ELO), who also sang back up, played bass guitar and helped to produce this song and the rest of the album this song comes from! This was Tom Petty’s first solo album (he did this without his band The Heartbreakers, although some of them helped out on some songs).
Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down" used to be my anthem for bad times. When things got really bad I used to sing it to myself, and it made me feel a little better... Perfect song for though times:
Well, I won't back down
No, I won't back down
You can stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
No, I'll stand my ground
Won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground
Did you see ( I think it might have been the 🐊 ) football game when the whole stadium sang that song?? I know it was a Florida football game, just not sure what team.
@@roolenoir3183 He was from Gainesville, Fl, home of the U of F Gators.
“Free falling” was a studio add lib that was suggested by Jeff Lynn of ELO. “She’s a good girl” was also a studio add lib, but that one came from Tom Petty, the two (Lynn and Petty) were just playing around with song ideas when this one just fell out of the guitar. Interestingly, Tom Petty’s record company passed in this song. They thought that he included it in his tape as a joke. It turned out to be his single greatest hit ever.
The back stories about the songs we grew up listening to are as interesting as the music is great. I love watching docs about the artists and how they were inspired to write their music.
That’s so funny and makes a lot of sense to me. I can see why the label might’ve thought it was a joke. I love the lyrics but it does have this air of melodrama about it hahaha
For some reason Howie hated it. It was off his solo album and he basically brought a lot of the band to play on tracks and Howie seemed irritated during the recording Tom thought he was irritated at the process taking too long and and Howie said it was the song he didn't like. Tom said he's free to go if he doesn't want to play on it and I'm guessing him saying ok and leaving meant he wasn't there for the initial recording.
They say Queen's label hated Bohemian Rhapsody when they brought it in lol sometimes they just miss the mark haha
I am crying so much now . . . Seeing Tom . . . TOM IS LLLEEEEGGGGEEENNNDDDD !!!!!!!! Talent beyond words..Grew up in my teens and 20's and beyond with TP & The Heartbrakers. PLEASE react to more. IMMENSE TALENT. Gone too so too soon . . . will NEVER be Forgotten !!! xoxox
I went to Tom Petty’s last concert before he died, it was at Hollywood Bowl. The last song he played was “American Woman”. I commented to someone on the way out that I wasn’t the biggest fan but I just had to make sure I saw this legend of music play before he died. Man, he had so many hits, it was a great concert.
The song's meaning: Although the singer has the perfect, all-American girlfriend who loves him, he doesn't want that. He leaves her with a broken heart and sets out to be free. He's hanging with the young street crowd having fun (for example, the skateboarders and vampires). He is no longer tied down by his traditional girlfriend in a monogamous relationship and expectations of marriage and suburban life. He admits that he is a bad boy and doesn't even miss her. He keeps singing that he's now free! However, with that freedom he admits that he is also declining quickly (free falling) into the abyss of street life.
Exactly teresa!
I loved an interview Petty did where he said you can tell where the boyfriend stands in the opening lyrics. The good girl loves all these things and, oh yeah, her boyfriend, who's mentioned last.
When this song comes on the radio. We sing free balling, instead of free falling. 😸
@@lisaowen6103 - Look up the song by Bob Rivers. It's about not wearing underwear ("free balling").
@@lisaowen6103 Wow! 😮
Dear Tom. Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers are pure Americana music to this Brit. Astonishing catalogue of rock music, softish yes, but brilliant. American Girl next please 😀
I never think about these lyrics too much. I just get lost like Amber
I cried like a baby when he passed. I’ve never cried when other singers I love passed. I’m still feeling it..
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers are so iconic they backed up Johnny Cash on one of his last albums. This solo album was produced by Jeff Lynne of ELO with whom Tom, Roy Orbison, Bob Dylan and George Harrison formed the Traveling Wilburys.
@@roolenoir3183
I couldn’t believe it Roo. I was so sad it lasted for days. Still can’t believe it now. Especially as he was still playing great gigs. We’re so lucky he left such a large body of music. Dearly missed by everyone not least his family of course
@@topgazza Aw man, I’m getting misty all over again
@@roolenoir3183
🙏
This tune is the one that I thought of when Tom died. Man, that hit me hard. One of my childhood heroes had passed on. Tom Petty is among the greats. No doubts about that. I still have several of his earlier vinyl records in my library. Tom is actually a Florida native. There's video out there where all the fans of a Florida college football game broke out and started singing a Tom Petty tune after he passed.
Tom Petty is a American treasure.. it is ashamed we lost him.. I remember does a teenager going to see him playing at the state Fair.. they were really good in concert.
The late great Tom Petty if you like this listen to the all-star band The Traveling Wilburys you won't be disappointed okay family I picked the band now you guys pick the song from the Wilburys
I would pick Handle me with care then The End of line two awesome songs
Please be sure to check out more of Tom: Mary Jane's Last Dance, Running Down a Dream, Don't Come Around Here No More, American Girl, You Don't Know How It Feels and Wildflowers- HIGHLY talented artist. RIP
Such a shock when he died. 😭 Any of his songs are great!!!
Won't Back Down is a great Tom Petty tune. I LOVE Tom Petty. We share a Birthday and always thought that was neat.
Tom Petty - honestly a diamond mine! Dig, pull a diamond. Dig again, pull a diamond. So many. Songs worth a solid listen on every album he ever made. Genius.
Amber, I’m so glad that Jordan is such a supportive Husband. Great job for looking after your Lady and daughters.
Props for stepping up and being there to help. You two have something that might be considered rare these days. I'm happy for your family.
Just one of the many great songs from Tom Petty the well is a deep one RIP Tom you are missed
The world lost a musical genius when Tom passed. You guys could spend a month reacting just to his catalog. He was one of kind and I don't think he ever recorded a bad song.
Oh man Tom Petty (and the Heartbreakers) is a MASSIVE rabbit hole!! Too many songs to list off, but I think Refugee would be a great start!!
sawtom twice.he was amazing 2+ hours each show will never forget. thankyou tom and the heartbreakers.
If you enjoyed this you should try The Travelling Wilburys. It was a super group made up of Petty, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, George Harrison and Bob Dylan. 'Handle with Care' and 'End of the Line' are good starting points.
So many hits to choose from. He used to collaborate often with Stevie Nicks(who he called an honorary Heartbreaker). Make sure you do stop draggin my heart around, it's Tom and Stevie trading vocals back and forth and it's amazing you will love it. Was lucky enough to see him live at least three times
Didn't they do leather and lace too
@@randyrubert4177 don henley and Stevie.
@@aaronwhitt8149 thanks I thought she did one with Tom too. I grew up in70s seeing all those bands live. But my mind gets a little fuzzy, after all it was the 70s, 😂😆
That was Don Henley of the Eagles. That is a beautiful song one of my favorites. I think Amber would really dig that one
Refugee, yes. Great song!! For another awesome story teller is Jim Croce. Bad, Bad Leroy Brown, Operator.....so many great songs and really distinctive voice. He's amazing!!
My hubby really likes him.
Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers! Massive catalog of great songs. American Girl, The Waiting, Here Comes my Girl, Out in the Cold, In to the great wide Open, Kings Highway,
One of the truly great modern American singer/songwriters!!! Pretty much anything by him is great!! RIP Tom, You are definitely missed and gone way too soon!
Tom’s songs are all so different and the words mean something unlike lots of songs.
Actually, a lot of his songs sound alike. But I still dig them.
@@Cosmo-Kramer to u they sound alike: to me different. Maybe that’s why he is popular
For me personally, I think the idea of "free falling" in this song represents...the freedom of just letting go of our need to control things and just ride the wave and to live in the moment.
Tom Petty was great live. Even though this was Tom’s solo album, he and The Heartbreakers would play this during his concert. There’d be over 2 hours of music. So sad he left too early.
Mary Jane's Last Dance, Don't Come Around Here No More, I Won't Back Down, You Don't Know How It Feels, Runnin' Down a Dream, Into the Great Wide Open....... Tom was an amazing artist with so many great songs
I think he’s putting free falling (. It’s a term from jumping out of a plane ) as a metaphor for the way people grow up and grow out of small town thinking.
He was a musical genius and he was a righteous person. I just don’t know what the music industry is going to do with out him .
His daughter had t-shirts made for his wake so his friends could have something to remember him by.
The say Nil Desperandum
“ No need to despair “is the translation
Oh my goodness!! Tom Petty was INCREDIBLE and has a HUGE catalogue of amazing songs!! This one though, is ICONIC and synonymous with Tom!! I know you're gonna love it!! But I'm really curious to hear your take on the lyrics!! I know what they mean to me but, I've heard some interesting takes on them! lol!!
EDIT: you gotta check out his song "DON"T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE"... it's a great song and the video is based on the "Alice In Wonderland" story.... it's a "trip"! lol!!
Tom was AMAZING! #RIPTomPetty Love watching you guys, always. Glad to see you two are a real team, on the channel & in the pregnancy! Can't wait to see that little bundle when they're born!
Tom Petty writes such great lyrics and beautiful melodies. Love his voice too, and the songs are flawlessly performed and produced. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to this song
John Mayer does a great version of this song. Petty explained in an interview with Billboard magazine that he and Jeff Lynne were sitting around trying to come up with a song, and Lynne got him to say "free falling". The next day they went and recorded the song. He didn't write it about any person, but instead what he saw on his frequent drives along Ventura Boulevard.
Check out the duet he does with Stevie Nicks. Stop dragging my heart around
I was fortunate enough to see Tom Petty live back in 2001 along with Jackson Browne. My Dad took me with him, I was 17 at the time and it's one of the countless amazing memories I have with my Dad, one I will cherish for the rest of my life. R.I.P. Tom Petty and R.I.P. Paul Brand, my Dad.
@Grape VineThank you! It definitely does take me back to not only that day but all the times riding in my Dad's truck a Tom Petty song would come on and he'd crank it up. And a countless number of other occasions when we'd have music playing and one of our favorite bands would come on such as Pink Floyd, Steppenwolf, Eric Burdon and the Animals, ect. . . . Yes many memories.
Loved Tom since I first heard him! Very humble guy and great music.
great song....next: "last dance with mary jane"!!
So many Tom Petty hits! "American Girl" is one of my favorites. It's fantastic but was never a big hit. For videos... "Don't Come Around Here No More" gives a whole new outlook on Alice In Wonderland.
You just said "go to Florida." Tom is from Gainesville, FL.
R.I.P Tom.... love ya!!! Thanks for generations of your music!!
Tom Petty was a legendary musician from the 70's 80's and 90's.
I would suggest,
I Won't Back Down
Last Dance w/ Mary Jane
Or anything really he was an amazing artist.
RIP Mr. Petty
You are missed, but you will live on through your music!! 🙏RIP Tom.
There was a time when "story songs" were referred to as ballads.
Tom Petty. No words describe how great his music was 💟👍
I grew up in the same town with Tom Petty, Gainesville Florida. I went to the same high school (although 10 years later). He had his first hit song when I was in high school. He was a super star, but never showed it. Never brought attention to himself in a negative way, always a gentleman. Although I grew up down the street, I never knew Tom personally, but got to know him well through his music. RIP
He’s from Gainesville Florida. The first weekend after his death, our Gators did a tribute at the end of the 3rd quarter with his “Won’t Back Down”. Over 90,000 gator fans sang in unison. SW him at a local bar here when he first started out. This song is about his life in Gainesville driving down 441. God rest you Tom.
Tom Petty is amazing it would be hard to go wrong with anything that he’s done
One of my favorite singers, there are many great songs by Tom Petty, solo and with the band. He was one artist that I would have loved to meet and hear sing in person!! Defiantly check out more of his songs, American Girl is one of my favorites!! R.I.P to one of the greats!!
There is an endless supply of great Tom Petty songs
So many great Tom Petty Songs:
Into the Great Wide Open (official video is a must)
American Girl is upbeat
The category you didn’t know the word for is “Storytellers” in the industry. you can even use the word in your online searches. Also check out the VH1 Storytellers series! ps: I can’t wait to see that baby! 💕
You Got Luck Baby. One of my favorites by him. Last Dance With Mary Jane, so many more. His catalog spans decades.
CLASSIC🎶The song you and your friends sing ( scream) when your all totally smashed!!! 🍻
I took it to mean that he broke his woman’s heart. Now broken up he gives a triumphant “Free” expecting to relish being single. However, he discovers that breaking up didn’t cause him to be free, but, in fact, free fallin. Being without her has sent him into a deep and unexpected funk.
I just love the relationship between Jay and Amber. You listen to each other and care about what the other thinks. It’s special. And you pick some good jams. 🥰
I’ve always felt like the free falling was just going against the grain. In the case of the song, traveling rather than settling down.
It is easy to zone out listening to tom petty. Good tunes for when your doing physical work.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh...the late, great Tom Petty...
So many great Tom Petty songs to dive into you can't go wrong. Love is duet with Stevie Nick's "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" 💕🎵
For a story teller, listen to Jimmy Buffett. His most famous song is Margaritaville, andjustabout everything he writes tells a great story.
Changes in Latitudes; One Particular Harbor, Pirate Looks At Forty... An incredible rabbit hole some of these RUclips reviewers should consider going down. Perhaps Rod Squad should start the trend.
Since you love Stevie Nicks. Definitely check out “Stop Dragging My Heart Around”. An amazing duet with Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks.
You guys nailed on the head why Tom Petty is one of the great rock 'n' roll vocalists: his verses are a perfect distance between talking & singing
Tom Petty and Prince “while my guitar gently weeps” ( rock and roll hall of fame) legendary performance , your welcome
Tom Petty is a perfect example that you don’t need what would be considered a “classically great” voice to be an amazing, iconic artist. And it’s why a bunch of “better” vocalists will never be as great as him.
oh wow, y'all haven't reacted to Tom Petty yet?? He was a brilliant and wonderful human, what a loss. Lot's of people don't know that he played a big role in fighting the big record companies for fair artist contracts. Anyhow, y'all were saying in another reaction (was it Dolly+Kenny?) that you loved learning about duets. Well, ya just gotta check out the Stevie Nicks/Tom Petty duet, Stop Dragging My Heart Around. Absolute classic!!!! Also rec this tribute to George Harrison after he passed featuring (among others) Tom Petty and Prince... trust me, it's epic. ruclips.net/video/dWRCooFKk3c/видео.html

Right on Jordan, you're 1 GREAT Husband n' Father. GOD BLESS you Brother. Peace.
Tom Petty = LEGEND!!!! Rock in Roll Hall of Fame Inductee. We lost Tom in 2017, but his Legacy in Music is generational!!!! Definately check out more! He has a ton of American Classics and is one of the GOATS of American singer/songwriters!!!
Tom Petty was all about that chill vibe. He was one of the most laid-back musicians ever. When he passed it was felt by many of us.
That's a wonderful man right there... you keep hold of that one. Keeper. Being a Dad is important. Good to hear. Like Tom Petty... Enjoy his music.
Wow, a song/group that one would feel comfortable playing for their kids!
Especially The Beatles.
Tom Petty was one of the BIG ONES with lots of BIG HITS, storytelling!
I remember the very first time I watched MTV! The first video I ever saw was Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, “You Got Lucky!”
I was hooked! MTV was instantly my new channel, day and night!!
I remember the 1st Tom Petty song I heard on the radio, "HERE COMES MY GIRL". He was a master of the music video. Some great music videos you should react to include "LEARNING TO FLY", "DON'T COME AROUND HERE NO MORE", "YOU WRECK ME", "SWINGIN'", "YOU DON'T KNOW HOW IT FEELS", "BREAKDOWN" and many more. Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers originated in Gainesville, FL - but relocated to So. Cal. They nailed the 'Teen Angst' emotion, in my humble opinion.
I always thought they should have incorporated sky diving into the video for this song.
Love ANYTHING by Tom Petty. 💕💚 EVERYTHING is good ‼️😊👍
