To me this is Tom’s best song
💯
it's a heartbreaker that's for sure
I agree Refugee 2nd
It's one of my favorites he does..
I will always like refuge...
And thank that's the sing that really made him famous
@@ElizabethBeckley-vo7wf Then Swingin' at #3
“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
Me, 14 yrs old, in the 1980s, young black girl listening this group❤❤❤❤❤❤. Thank goodness for my dad exposing me to different music.
You also like The Cure?
@@chaddeez8446 I never really listened to the Cure
Thats fresh!
Aa 2i
Thank goodness for you and father!
The best song Tom Petty ever produced, Ever!
I agree 💯
I agree 💯
I think so too..
Yes ❤
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
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.
Mine too
64 and still rocking Tom Petty
Same here, I turn 61 in 4 months and am still rocking to Tom Petty.
Song captures perfectly when a woman wants a guy...and you're not that guy.
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!
🙏❤️🙏
You can just hear the pain, especially if you ever lived this.
my whole life
Never could understand why this song didn't chart higher. A classic!
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.
Agree
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.
Quite a rockin song
This is my favorite Tom Petty song. Timeless!!!
Mine too😉
Mine too!
It is the BEST💕
Damn right!!!
Same
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. 💋
Would you believe he was widely considered talentless? The man is the black licorice of rock and roll. The sour milk in your Hershey's chocolate.
@@ellencrates3977 you bet we do 🥲
My God...This was over 40 years ago?? Seems like yesterday.
Yeah . I was 17..life sure moves
"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.
MY favourite lines of the song!
@@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!
Went in 2014 , DTE music theater. My wife's 50th birthday, paid $400 fot 7th row. Best money spent ever. Miss you, Tom
I think Tom stole.this song right out of all of his fans hearts .
I’m the strong silent type. Kind and caring, i’m a gentleman to women. You know, the kind of man women just don’t care for. So this song speaks volumes for men like me. That’s to say good men who are overlooked for the so-called “badboy” type. Guess a lot of women desire having their hearts torn to pieces instead of being filled with happiness.
Rest easy Tom. You truly understood the human condition.
John,
A woman worthy of you is out there...
I don't a bad boy.A loving,good man is a treasure beyond words.
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.
I also like the song because the first start of it is the drums that Stan plays and I love Stan
Couldn't agree more ...
Still a legend!
"and she don't wanna know.She's a woman in love..she can't let go."💔
Tom was a master!
"She laughed in my face... told me goodbye.
>
She's a women in love... but It's not me!"
What a way to carve out a man's soul.
Quite the poet
@@rob-robi Tom really was. This entire album is my favorite.
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
I agree It is a Masterpiece!
It got a lot of play on KMET and KLOS in Los Angeles in 1980.
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."
anyone else get goosebumps just from the first note?
Mars Ann ME 2
I got goosebumps too ;)
this whole song gives me goosebumps..the words..so emotional
Been holding on to this one since he died - couldn't watch it 'til this eve for some reason.
Probably my most fave of all of my Petty faves.
I swear..this is his most memorable songs to me. So haunting.
Never gets old. Even at 57. One of his best in my mind.
I agree I love this song! It's a shame younger Tom Petty fans don't know this masterpiece they never play it
Neither at 71
@@lisarousseau788 I'm 18 and I have to say this is my favorite petty song, I'm trying to learn it on my guitar right now.
@@33mileshigh I'm so happy to hear that! It's nice to hear that some young people appreciate great music keep rocking!!
@@lisarousseau788 Of course! All credit to my parents, ROCK AND ROLL WILL NEVER DIE!!!
My favorite Tom Petty song! He will be missed :(
Yes he will!
He already is and I always will be missed what a great musician in songwriter
To be able to crank out so many hits is amazing in itself but to touch peoples souls the way he did with his music is a whole other story!
Marry me, Mel.
Mine too and yes he will be missed 😢😇🙏❤️🤟✌️RIP Tom🙏😇
Absolutely Tom Petty's most underrated song! You never hear it anymore.
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.
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.
Tom Petty was truly a Genius and we were like to see it first hand....✌️
he was pretty stoned when singing this song ...
@@2008alberta Weren't we all?
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 used to sear me.....
I love listening to this song ❤️!! I never get tired of it! 🕯️🕯️🙏🙏🙏🕊️🕊️ RIP Tom Petty
My absolute All Time Favorite recording artist!!
miss him too
Intense.
When this song came out I had just turned 18. It's stayed with me throughout all these years in ways that I can't explain.
I know exactly what you mean this song is one you can never forget love it
YES ME TOO
I have said it before, and I will say it again. The camera work on this video is astounding.
Tom Petty made my life better
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.
This is Tom’s best song. His voice is strong and youthful and emotional.
I like that part where he says, "I don't understand the world today."
Kind of feel that way now.
My daughter Sarah loved Tom Petty. I just buried her on Oct 24 2021. Hopefully she got to meet him. Rest softly Sarah & Tom. 😢💔
rest in peace sweet hart
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.❤
He never did a bad song. Even the ones that didn't get as high on the charts were classic
Sometimes, the best ones are the ones that don't end up in the top 10 or 40.
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!
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.
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.
Me too me too ...high five ...hugs
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.
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.
yeah,i know...ive lived this song my whole life...
This is my favorite Tom Petty tune..
Face in the crowd for me closely followed by this
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!)
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.
Somewhere there's a list of Most Underrated Songs AllTime ... this one tops that chart.
My absolute favorite Tom Petty song!! So painful-I’ve must have listened to this at 1,000 times ♥️♥️
With his fan base Tom will never die.
You can't compare Tom Petty to anyone including The Beatles. Its a Great Artist when you hear a song for the first time and you immediately know who it is. As is Petty.
Great drumwork, haunting guitar riffs , the Heartbreakers at their best.5 star song, love it.
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.
This song exemplifies Petty's "Unique Voice" differentiating all Tom Petty and the Heart Breaker's song. Any time they came on the radio you paid attention and could pick up on the lyrics and I can't even imagine anyone ever trying to sing the same song with anything but that distinctive Tom Petty drawl. The Southern Blues Rock fusion and lyrical ability to add syllables to words is unique to signature rock ballads and stories that nobody will ever be able to recreate. I'm sure I speak for many of us Petty fans to feel absolutely blessed to have been able to experience that newest Petty song coming on the radio. "THAT'S MY GUY! PETTY. TURN IT UP MAN!!! WOW! That was so cool. PLAY IT AGAIN. WHAT'S THE ALBUM? I got a great idea. Let's go down to the record store and spend a few minutes. I got $10 and a half hour. This won't take any time at all." A week later we have our headphones on listening to the album on replay, recording to a cassette and are still staring at the vinyl album cover art looking for deeper meanings and the answers to teenage angst. We grew up as feral animals with original soundtracks imprinted on our psyche able to view ourselves living in a movie. What a time to be alive.
He died much too young, such a great artist...he was very popular...but still...I think he was underrated...RIP Tom
A timeless magnificently made song, that can be listened over and over again. Just a masterful song
Definitely! Love this song always have
This is my favorite Tom Petty and Heartbreakers song. We have all been there...
Time after time
Night after night
She would look up to me
And say she was lonely
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
She's a woman in love...
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.
At that time in his life he may be writing songs from personal experience. He knew some pain, but that didn't break him. Tom Petty, a good man.
Perfectly said!!
You know this song right off the bat, 12 string classic.
Heartbreakers were a great band, very traditional.
I miss him so much
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.
I agree....song is a classic....he had sooo many great songs....truly missed....RIP Tom.....thanks for the great music
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.
was surprised to not see this on the greatest hits album, this song is terrific.
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.
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.
A heart breaker with a great beat.
To real for the time
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
Too deep.
Because the record company wanted to push "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" instead.
Tom Petty totally gets women
Great tune but let's give a shoutout to the director of the video whoever that was. It's visually so beautifully put together. A real gem of a video from the very early days of MTV.
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.
Under-rated, under the radar masterpiece by Tom.
100% ♥️
Agreed
Agreed. There's more than a handful of his songs that are masterpieces that flew completely under the radar.
@@brianlarose6110 Runaway Train and Swinging are two of my favorites. Only Petty fans have heard them.
@@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
Still listening 2023 RIP Legend ❤🎤🎸❤️🔥
Don't think about it...You can go Crazy!!! Tom Petty was a god!!!
“She could understand a problem. She’d let the little things go. She’s a woman in love…”🥰🎸✨✨✨
Thru all stages of my life Tom Petty spoke to me thru his words. He will be missed for a very long time. Thank you TP
Mark Hawkins I feel exactly the same way. ❤️
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 🙏♥️😭
My first love. Never wanted me that way. This song was so accurate to my life.
He’s still here to me
Oh dude, now you got me tearing up..
This SONG is timeless
Thank you!!!🎉
A Tom Petty masterpiece. One of my favorites by these guys.🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹🎸🌹
A very underrated song by TP & the Heartbreakers. Rest in peace, Tom.
RIP LEGEND !
I will never understand why this song doesn't get any airplay. Seriously, this is a much better song than Free Fallin' & every station in my area plays that song to death.
This song and Here Comes My Girl are the 2 best Petty songs
Politics
In 1999, my local rock station played this song randomly, out of nowhere. This after going through 3 break up, rejection, heartbreak moments the previous 6 years. 8-9 years I bought Tom Petty's Anthology CDs and his live CD set a few months after he passed away.
@@rodolfohuezo6999 What are the politics behind this song being overlooked? I'm actually curious. Like, was it something governmental politics(ie some stupid form of censorship or something) or was it record label politics?
@@Jaidabecca too sad and reaches too many way too much. Really is
I could listen to this song for hours
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🧨🧨🧨🧨
One of my favorite Petty songs
I became a fan in the late 70's and finally saw him live in 2002 and all i can say is WOW! Hearing him play his early stuff it seemed like no time had passed. This was in the set he played along and it was great.
One part I like in this video is where the drummer looks over to the camera about half way through. It’s an interesting dynamic between the rack focus and Tom and drummer in background.
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.
It's called radio waves. They do tend to travel towards the edges of the universe unless attenuated.
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.
Thanks professor.
Yup. (I concur)
The best "Alright" ever recorded.
I don't understand the world today...RIP
Exactly!!!!!
Core memory unlocked! 13 year old me would do my homework while waiting for mtv to play this video and then I'd see that black and white descending DRUMSTICK and STOP, and sit transfixed watching it. Loved Tom so much then. RIP my guy.
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.
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.
My all time favorite from Tom Petty. ❤❤
I cry because of 1 year without him, the angels in Heaven sing because of 1 year with him.
best Tom Petty song ♡ RIP 😭
"...but it's not me...." ....story of my life...
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!
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!
GODDAMMIT I LOVE THIS SONG AND YOU SHOULD TOO
I LOVE THIS SONG
I LOVE MY TOM PETTY
Kick ass
💜⚠️🙂🙃🌜💜
the most haunting song i know
I missed seeing this guy across the street from my being in the hospital for a shoulder surgery 🤬🤬
RIP Tom!!! It would have been YOU if I'd had one chance.
This is the best and most powerful Tom Petty song ever !
the space in between the space, and the use or not use of said space..makes TP a fucking Genius.
that is so true! well said, my friend
I know what you mean.
indeed. no need or want to fill every nano second with notes. audio dark matter..matters :)
Yep, the sweep of the music cutting through the blank space, can be soooo good to the human ear.
Are you saying he's a space cadet?
They looked so damn young then. This came out right about the time I graduated high school, and I am about to apply for Social Security next month. Time, it do fly.
I miss you...I was an 80's guy...man you were great...Thank You!!! #TomPetty
My favorite Petty song.
This can't be real. Tom Petty is supposed to survive the coming apocalypse, and carry the Rock -N- Roll torch for eternity.
Foretelling words of the crazy times we're living in 2020. I'm glad he got off the ride early, but he sure is missed!
I always wanted to have him over Thanksgiving. He would have been such a cool guest.
When Trump Elected My Mother Called Him Antichrist. Hitler, She Was So Scared Of Donald Trump I Lost Her In 8/18 .Thank God Do To Liar Keeping Cov-19 She Had Lung And Had Be Send To Hospital 2 -3 Times A Year.
He is carrying the torch his spirit is taking over everyday who listen to his music
Right. Immortal. His music will survive the to infinity.
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.
Toms passing has stuck with me the hardest for some reason, I just can't get over the shock of it, he had gave so much to his fans. 💔
@diannacasey1007
He's one of the first that had to fight for the rights to HIS amazing music. Sadly, wore him down but never affected it to his head.😢
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 !
😢😮
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.
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 think that Tom Petty is a genius
Thank God for you Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers I grew up in Jacksonville Florida and I got to see you and Stevie nicks stop draggin my heart around but she's a woman in love got me through some hard times even through my divorce thank you for everything you've ever done for this planet you're the best
