    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.

    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.

    • @vidpie
      @vidpie 2 месяца назад +1

      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."

    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.

      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.

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.

    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.

      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.
