Yea! Not even close. This is a classic. Will sound amazing 100 years from now I remember it on the radio I’d reach for volume Turn it up ! College days
What an emotional song. The verses have a quiet, sad acceptance. This is his fate and he can do nothing about it. But the chorus explodes with sadness and tragedy. And during the chorus, the guitar cries. RIP Tom Petty, you mastermind, you.
"I don't understand the world today...I don't understand what she needed...I gave her everything..she threw it all away on nothing"....Still amazing TP after all these years.
@@shuroom57 also my favorite lines of the song. Is this song on any of the greatest hit compilations (cds)? It should be on every one. It is his greatest song!
I was 18 and had just moved in with my boyfriend in our own apartment. We bought a VHS-player and I was waiting for music videos to show on TV so I could record them. We only had two channels in Sweden and one single program that showed a couple of videos each week. So this song was one of the early ones recorded and has been a favourite of mine since then. I am 60 now.
Question: Why the hell didn't this get any airplay back in the day? This song rocks! Question: Why the hell doesn't this song get any airplay on classic rock stations today???
My guess is the song meaning is a downer to the singer. I mean it's fine art but it's not exactly a rock anthem. Right? Believe me when I say I LOVE this song.
it got a lot of airplay in 83 in new york state....this song was an anthem to the HORROR, yes, the HORROR that is being in love with a woman....this brutal, scab opening song tortured me.....tortured me....tortured me....tortured me....tortu
One reason: In 1981, Petty said that out of “terrible guilt” he offered to give Nicks another song instead of Insider, and played her a few castoffs from that year’s Hard Promises sessions. She jumped at Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, which Petty co-wrote with guitarist Mike Campbell. “That’s why I wanted you to write a song,” Nicks said. “It’s rock’n’roll, that’s what you do.” Petty thought he was giving her the song, not the recording. “We’d already cut it as a Heartbreakers song, with Tom singing the whole thing,” Tench says. “At the same time, Jimmy Iovine was dating Stevie, though he was keeping it clandestine. And I think Jimmy thought the song could be a hit for her.” The song’s irresistible swampy groove, punctuated by Campbell’s searing guitar stabs and Tench’s Booker T-like organ fills brought out a sassy repartee between the two singers, even if the duet was concocted in the studio by Iovine. Petty’s initial reaction was not enthusiastic: “He plays me Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, the same track, with her singing,” Petty said in Runnin’ Down A Dream. “I go: ‘Jimmy, you just took the song…’ His comeback was like: ‘This is gonna buy you a house.’ But it pissed me off because it came out at the same time as our single [A Woman In Love], and I think ours suffered."
An absolute rock masterpiece. The soaring chorus that ends with "its not me" and that aching vocal - I can't think of many other songs of unrequited love that compare. RIP Tom - you were a legend. What a horrible Monday.
Well,I love Tom Petty, and I love his break up songs, especially "Don't come around here no more ". How ever , listen to Pearl jam's Go and animal, the 1st 2 songs on Versus .Then the 3rd song is daughter. I love the entire album but there is something about those 1st 3 songs.
One of Tom's seriously underappreciated hits, this should have WAY more views. I love how it goes back and forth from a slow bluesy ballad to a hard guitar rocker.
Mike Campbell is the driving force in so many great songs. Howie Epstein’s bass playing and sweet harmonies, Ben adding depth and warmth on keyboards… best band I’ve ever seen (12 times). The switch to Steve Ferrone was a good move, too.
Wellll … "Gator on the Lawn" and "Heartbreakers' Beach Party" are a little off, IMHO. But it's true! Their version of "Shout!" stands up and his Elvis covers are adorable. I like "Up in Mississippi Tonight" because one line is: " … up there in Biloxi." Where is he if she's UP in Biloxi? What an odd sense of humor. I miss him so much. Hey! Let's all play his Christmas song!
Just a hauntingly beautifully written song- and Stan’s intro sucks you right in from the get go. Never understood why so many people aren’t familiar with this song- it’s absolutely heart wrenchingly beautiful.
RIP Tom. The world has lost a brilliant songwriter and musician. This is one of my favorites of his, and it should've been a huge hit. This whole album is great.
Jenny, you are absolutely correct, especially about this album being great. The whole album of songs are solid, awesome tunes. But.... THIS SONG, I can't get enough of it.
Robyn Richter Hey hey hey he was born a Rebel,down in Dixie...Another great loss from Florida and for rock music.Grew up on his music and this song has always been a favorite.Say the same as do when I talk about SKYNYRD also from Jacksonville,Florida.People pass away but legends never die.Tom is definitely on that list.RIP.Up to us to keep the legends alive.
Yeah, there's some other great songs that didn't make the greatest hits album, such as "Love Is a Long Road" and "Change of Heart". He has so many great songs that it's hard to fit them all on one album. I guess the only way to do it would be to release an ultra deluxe collector's set. Man, losing Tom Petty hurts.
U describe what I made me like this song haunting guitar riffs Tom petty voice the drums thank u for describing what drew me to this song! Rip Tom petty 😪 🙏 😢
@@RT-fe1mu Heh, 9 years later, cool. Yeah, Tom left the Heartbreakers and did even better on the charts but he lost one big thing - the Heartbreakers. They were a great band with Mike Campbell's incredible guitar work at the lead- haunting is a good adjective for his style and he got a lot of the attention along with Petty, rightfully so. Petty got much more attention and money after going solo but when he was singing with the Heartbreakers and he had Campbell on lead they were one hell of a band.
I love you, Tom Petty... RIP. I am a woman in love with your music and this song, which is so special and simply perfect! Thank you for your outstanding talent, your music will live forever!
You know when I first heard Tom Petty passed away I just couldn't believe it is this the same rate he felt like he was going to be here forever we love you we miss you Tom rest in peace 🙏♥️😭
You can feel the pain in his voice through the chorus yet it’s subtle enough to not be overbearing. Petty is my favorite artist of all time and always seems to speak right to my life in all his songs. Rest In Peace.
There are so many great lines in this song that resonate with life and love. Tom, you are missed! Thanks for all the great concerts in Gainsville, FL when I was in my 20s.❤
The fragile pain in his voice during the verses speaks louder than the chorus when he opens up. Only Tom Petty could do this to such staggering effect. He was so goddamn clever and on point. If any of those jagoff contestants on American Idol or the Voice attempted this song,theyd overdo it with worthless vocal acrobatics in lieu of subtlety. There hasnt been a pop song this great made by anybody since this ,unless it was by Petty himself. He could have been a Beatle for Christs sake. No wonder George loved him so much.
They've distinctly diff't sound/style, & are unique in their creativity, but Tom's artistry & musicianship, the way he hit certain grooves, & the emotional impact of a soul set to music - life reflected via song - strikes a similar spot in my heart as Neil Young's work. Never got to see Neil live, but caught Tom at the Stanley in Pittsburgh circa '79-80 - that gig hit me w/the same force as the 1st time I saw Neil do Hurricane, I think on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert around '75. Powerful stuff.
This song's so cool and actually pretty emotional too when you really listen to the words. Really one of Tom's lost classics, I wonder why it wasn't as popular as some of his other songs.
Right, I found it much later. Like so many of his songs, it was right for the right time. I wonder what he'd write for covid..almost too chilling to think about
@@rubygreta1 Yeah man. I love a lot of the newer stuff. One More Night, Counting on You. Well, not NEW, but after the radio hit albums. And my favorite TP song may be Supernatural Radio off the She's The One soundtrack that no one even knows exists. lol
Absolutely. It should be played at least weekly. I don't understand why I hear some trash on "classic rock" stations over and over and NEVER hear some of the objectively best rock every written and performed.
I love Tom petty more than words can say. I went to about 10 of his concerts IMO this is one of his best songs that was overlooked. But with that said, I love me some Stanley! He deserve's so much credit. Where the hell is it!
This is one of the songs that when it plays, just works intense, passionate magic to all who can hear it. Then it flows out into space and it's still heading towards the edges of the universe. It's that powerful.
This song highlights everything that was great about this band. Stan's driving beat, Tom's emotion, Mike's brilliant guitar, Benmont......this song just sums them up, one of my favs.
It was released the same time as stop dragging my heart around with Stevie Nicks and the record company decided they couldn't promote 2 TP songs, so they promoted the one with Stevie.
I agree!! If I am not mistaken, it did not make Rolling Stone's top 50 - I was blown away!! HOW?? It, to me, is in the top 5! Powerful, magical, soulful, poetic and absolutely all things Petty! ❤❤❤
Had the album... didn't pay too much attention to the charts. This album was #1 on my Technics/Marantz system back in the day! But you are right. Way under appreciated! R.I.P. Tom Petty on the 2nd anniversary of your untimely death. We miss you.
This is timeless. I really think they were ahead of the rest.. Whoever directed this video particularly the director of photography, should have got an award for this, it's so good. Tom has got an ability to convey more than just his voice.. a talent that not all singer/ songwriters have.
Not my favorite TP song (Refugee is), but my favorite video. I believe the cinematographer here also worked on The Police's "Every Breath You Take". Both videos were shot in the same place.
I was a medical resident resident writing up an admission in the emergency room late one night in 1989 or 1990... somebody had a TV on behind the desk ... maybe it was on MTV? ... anyway this video was playing. My girlfriend had just dumped me... I'll never forget this.
when i first heard this song on vinyl, back in the 11th grade. i knew this would always be my alltime favorite from tom petty, and it still is, damn i love this song.
This is one of those songs that's always been good, but once you really live through some heartache it really becomes something else/ takes on a whole new meaning. Tom petty...fu kin genius man.
It's 2022. And I swear to Jesus this particular video is just very avant-garde and its own way. I didn't watch MTV when I was younger. I have no interest at all. But now I'm old and ancient as dirt. And really enjoying this old stuff.
I had just come back from America to Sydney ,Australia and reunited with my Australian boyfriend. One night at dinner while listening to music... I asked him to play this song and he took it real personal...wow🧨🧨🧨🧨
This is the best tom petty song ever it just takes me back it touches my soul and damn he was such a gorgeous fella!! That guitar sounds so awesome ! 😢😮
I can feel his lyrics so so much. This man was an astounding poet, put you right there in that moment that many of us have lived. When he says ''but it's not me'' , damn it cuts right into the heart and soul. God bless you Tom Petty may you rest in peace.
I read an article not long ago where Tom said that Dylan called him a poet - he said, "It's like someone telling you you're an archer and you know you don't even own a bow!"! Damn, he didn't even know his own genius. I miss him, too. Ironic - the only true heartbreaker.
I thought that I knew style of "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" but after 2:21 I don't know who is this band really are! So cool and 80s! Thank you Tom Petty for this song!

“I don’t understand the world today.” Me neither T.P. We miss you
You said it. I don't either but this song takes it to a whole other level
True fucking story
This song is SOOOOOO good.
The guitar riff sounds like someone crying w/ heartache. I can relate. Awesome! Miss you, Tom💔.
You can just hear the pain, especially if you ever lived this.
my whole life
2:53
I have,and I live this song.
Somewhere there's a list of Most Underrated Songs AllTime ... this one tops that chart.
I swear..this is his most memorable songs to me. So haunting.
Has such a feel to it, gets under the skin
Song captures perfectly when a woman wants a guy...and you're not that guy.
Ouch: been there
What an emotional song. The verses have a quiet, sad acceptance. This is his fate and he can do nothing about it. But the chorus explodes with sadness and tragedy. And during the chorus, the guitar cries.
RIP Tom Petty, you mastermind, you.
Great analogy and pure fact 🎉🎉❤😊
Yes
Beautiful analysis .
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers created some of the greatest rock songs ever!
🙏❤️🙏
Not just a great musician, but one of the greatest American songwriter as well. I grew up with Tom Petty. He is very sorely missed.
I have said it before, and I will say it again. The camera work on this video is astounding.
I love the way he sings this song!How can anyone not love this man?
Hi Lisa,hope you’re okay ?
I knoooo! I love him more and more as time goes on .. I miss you Tom Petty!
My daughter is 34 yrs old, brought up with Tom Petty. Loves him like mum. 💋

I agree It is a Masterpiece!
It got a lot of play on KMET and KLOS in Los Angeles in 1980.

One of Tom's seriously underappreciated hits, this should have WAY more views. I love how it goes back and forth from a slow bluesy ballad to a hard guitar rocker.
Campbell, dude!😎 one of the underrated pros, but he's def top 50 on my list. (and it's a killer group!)

Losing Tom hit me hard. It was like losing a childhood friend.R.I.P. Brother
phantomrockerr Me too. Couldn't describe it until reading what you said. TP has been in my life longer than any of my closest friends.
We lost him, but I hope he’s jamming and writing with George Harrison, Roy Orbison, John Lennon, Billy Preston, and others right now in another place.
A death is just a transition from one place to another, TP is still alive, just in another essence.
Totally agree with you dude. I was in tears for weeks everytime I heard a TP song on the radio.
The sad part about Tom Petty's death is it could have been prevented RIP Tom you definitely a Legend who went too soon.
A very underrated song by TP & the Heartbreakers. Rest in peace, Tom.

I agree! Tom is such an all-around great performer and writer. Never get tired of him.
+Dan J True. Those eyes speak volumes, all by themselves.
Rip
Not my favorite TP song (Refugee is), but my favorite video. I believe the cinematographer here also worked on The Police's "Every Breath You Take". Both videos were shot in the same place.
I love the shifty /timed camera work.
I was a medical resident resident writing up an admission in the emergency room late one night in 1989 or 1990... somebody had a TV on behind the desk ... maybe it was on MTV? ... anyway this video was playing. My girlfriend had just dumped me... I'll never forget this.
when i first heard this song on vinyl, back in the 11th grade. i knew this would always be my alltime favorite from tom petty, and it still is, damn i love this song.
First of all cool name 😉 and I never heard this song on vinyl but on moms cassette and this is a song I can play over and over again 😊
+david banner Yup, Tom Petty's best song. Refugee is a close second.
Does it calm your raging beast inside? :)
It does!
Love this song. So true
This is one of those songs that's always been good, but once you really live through some heartache it really becomes something else/ takes on a whole new meaning. Tom petty...fu kin genius man.
I agree.this song used to rend me open
Yeah
I'll add like 12 thumbs up!!
Yep. Lived through this about 15 years ago. This was one of the songs that got me through the breakup of my marriage.
Rest easy Tom. Thank you for sharing your incredible gift of music.
Grief is the price you pay for love.
My favorite TP song!!🎧
I could listen to this song for hours
I cry because of 1 year without him, the angels in Heaven sing because of 1 year with him.
I think Tom stole.this song right out of all of his fans hearts .
It's 2022. And I swear to Jesus this particular video is just very avant-garde and its own way. I didn't watch MTV when I was younger. I have no interest at all. But now I'm old and ancient as dirt. And really enjoying this old stuff.
Thank you..i will always play your music! ..RIP .💙💙
Best Tom Petty song ever. One of the great ones. I miss the classics. Songs today just don't mean as much as the songs from the 70s and 80s.
God I love this song. One of the absolute greatest bands ever!
I had just come back from America to Sydney ,Australia and reunited with my Australian boyfriend. One night at dinner while listening to music... I asked him to play this song and he took it real personal...wow🧨🧨🧨🧨
Don't think about it...You can go Crazy!!! Tom Petty was a god!!!
This is the best tom petty song ever it just takes me back it touches my soul and damn he was such a gorgeous fella!! That guitar sounds so awesome !
😢😮
I was 21 in 1980 and this was and still is my favorite Petty song. Takes me right back like it was yesterday, a different world and for the better.
ChatGPT1111 Yeah they say that we have progressed since then I'm not so sure about that.
My favorite TP & TH song!!!
R.i.p. gorgeous Tom ❤️❤️❤️
Heartbreaking song, I always wondered if it was personal
I'm living this song now, Tom...still relevant after all these years...the mark of timelessness and genius in music!
He died much too young, such a great artist...he was very popular...but still...I think he was underrated...RIP Tom
My God...This was over 40 years ago?? Seems like yesterday.
Yeah . I was 17..life sure moves
Such a sad beautiful ballad....with a twist of edgy background guitar and drums. I love this song.
Went in 2014 , DTE music theater. My wife's 50th birthday, paid $400 fot 7th row. Best money spent ever. Miss you, Tom
I can feel his lyrics so so much.
This man was an astounding poet, put you right there in that moment that many of us have lived.
When he says ''but it's not me'' , damn it cuts right into the heart and soul. God bless you Tom Petty may you rest in peace.
I read an article not long ago where Tom said that Dylan called him a poet - he said, "It's like someone telling you you're an archer and you know you don't even own a bow!"! Damn, he didn't even know his own genius. I miss him, too. Ironic - the only true heartbreaker.
And the tone in the way he sings it with a slight hurt yet accepting of the reality of it , Tom was a genius .
I thought that I knew style of "Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers" but after 2:21 I don't know who is this band really are! So cool and 80s! Thank you Tom Petty for this song!
I refuse to believe he is gone
"...but it's not me...." ....story of my life...
