A wonderful song about Tom's childhood and forgiveness for his father who used to beat him because he wasn't into education or sports, dropped out of high school to get high and play music. Tom Petty was as unique as the Pyramids in Egypt or the Taj Mahal. His lyrics were as rare as the Mona Lisa, a true legend like Mark Twain who comes along about once every 200 centuries. His song Even the Losers Get Lucky Sometime is my lifetime comparative song and motivates me every time I hear it. I was that guy who cut school also to get high at lunch, now I run a corporation in America. You can do anything in life with a strong will and Tom Petty songs, work hard, be honest and the secret of life is how you affect others in a positive way. Tom Petty taught me that! Remember people, don't back down, you got lucky when I found you. lol :) Best song ever in concert - If I was King, that song is so heavenly in concert. Love you Tom, hope the kind bud is good up there! hugs, Jack Trout
Don't know you but loved your words. I'm 64 now and still adjusting to Petty's passing. But "I forgive it all" heals all wounds, all generations. Blessings to you.
What a wonderful post. I think in the end Tom did make amends with his Dad. But I think your comparing Tom as unique as the pyramids, the Taj Mahal, and lyrics as rare as the Mona Lisa, hit the nail on the head. I have never been so sad over a musician passing as I am with Tom. I play his music everyday. The abuse Tom got from his father had the opposite effect, it didn't knock out his music loving, it made him more determined. The saying "Damaged people are dangerous, they know they can survive." Could have been said about Tom Petty. Hence his fights with record companies. Great man who will be missed by me, anyway, forever.
"My philosophy is: What people say about me is none of my business. I am who I am and do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And that makes life easier. We live in a world where funerals are more important than the deceased, marriage is more important than love, looks are more important than the soul. We live in a packaging culture that despises content." Sir Anthony Hopkins
My greatest ! R.I.P. Tom Petty !!!!!!!!!!!. Im from Germany, sorry my english. I´m so sad. Tom and his music, is my music ! I was a kid in Germany, but so 14-15 years old..... !!!! And im born 1978. I love his music and i soooooo sad. :-((
So amazing. I just heard this song for first time. Today, a day after Mr. Petty passed. This song is perhaps the one of the only songs to touch me so deeply. As an adult child of an alcoholic I find such a healing tone in this music. I have never connected to song in a such a way, I hate to admit, but I tear up every time I listen. I think the video portrays the feelings and emotions of the song extremely poignantly. Leaving the keys in the caddy is genius. Methaporical to me as leaving the pain behind. Such a gem of human emotion portrayed musically and visually. I'm truly touched. I'm sad I only found this today. Thank Tom Petty, I'll run down a dream as often as I can.
bless you wonderful man. Tom if such a thing is possible probably knows you're out there. My mum made alll the clocks stop for 2 weeks after she died and freaked out her employer who had not paid her for 3 months. I think by now he's light energy inspiriation.
Tom Petty, what a pure song writter....a teacher, a wise sage....a beautiful soul....I thank God...he is the background music to my life...has been for so long, and will remain. Love xxx
Oh my gosh, this is such a beautiful song. It is sung from the heart. You can feel the emotion and pain. What an outstanding human being Tom Petty was. Thank you for the memories. May you rest in peace you beautiful artist.
Holy crap Batman! This is why Tom Petty has always been my man! Back to his roots with Mudcrutch working on new stuff. Included is maybe my favorite actor of all time Anthony Hopkins. This brought me to tears! What a long strange trip it's been so far!
This song gets to me every time I hear it. Even more so with the video. This song is all about letting go of resentment, and I feel like this is possibly Tom’s most personal song he ever wrote. Its beautiful and painful at the same time, as is life. My favorite line: “People are what people make em”. RIP Petty
This Petty production offers a rather soothing platform in at putting the soul at ease. Listen to the lyrics closely. One message is to clear your mind of harping on past ills and cherish what you have. While one may be on the brink of depravity - one still has something to offer to those in greater need than of their own. Mr. Petty was brilliant.
The song and the video as always ... disjunct. Tom Petty was brutally ill treated by his father and some of the video echoes scenes he witnessed. The intro don't hurt me mama .... he didn't need to do that. He stopped covering up for his Dad got angry and then forgave him. full stop. Like his bio one of the most painful manifestations of the life of Tom Petty I have encountered. Broke my heart but he's up there somewhere talking to my Dad and his heroes with his dog.
I think this is such a beautiful and very moving song. I loved it the very first time I heard Tom sing it. Some people are saying that they don't understand the video, but personally, I think the video is a perfect companion to the song. We all change as we get older, our thoughts look back to the shadows of the past, memories that we once pushed aside, come to the fore, tapping at our door. We have to deal with them, even though we perhaps don't want to, because they are too difficult and cause us immense pain. Some memories never leave us, but that same pain is still there. We carry it always, often until we deal with it. I know Tom has had some terrible pain in his life, both physically and emotionally. We have to learn to forgive, because without it, we find no peace within ourselves. Sometimes, we have to learn to forgive ourselves too. :) I hope Tom has found peace, and I wish him happiness. :)
What you wrote, Sue, is so well put and so absolutely correct. I am going thru this now, and, yes, I hope to forgive those that caused me great pain, including forgiving myself for my mistakes. Thank you!! Thank you.
+Math Person - Math, I am so sorry x I do understand that the pain of dealing with some issues can be utterly heart-wrenching. Forgiving others, even if they don't deserve it, even if they don't even know that you have done that, will benefit you, Matt, I promise. :) x Otherwise that anger, and there will be anger, as well as deep sadness, distress and pain, will eat you up from the inside. It destroys everything, but itself. We have all done things which we deeply regret. We seek forgiveness, but we do need to forgive ourselves too. If we are truly sorry for what we have done, and try to make amends, if we can, those are good, positive steps. :) I truly hope that you find the peace you seek, Math, and I wish you happiness in your life. :) - Sue xx
You are so right! I'll seek to forgive in my heart, because those I forgive would deny wrongdoing. So I'll keep it inside me, hoping it eradicates or makes trivial the pain, anger, sadness, and obsessing I've been creating inside me stop eating me up and draining my energy..............................So what's your hourly fee, dear?
Aww, no, Math, don't feel that you have to trivialise your pain and emotions. If you've been hurt, they are normal to feel, and justified. If you can learn to forgive, though, and I honestly know how difficult that can be, believe me, it helps to stop those feelings overpowering you and, as you say, Math, draining your energy. :) - When people won't even acknowledge that they have hurt you, let alone apologise, I know that is truly upsetting. I am so sorry that you have such pain in your life at the moment, Math, and I really hope that you can move forward. :) x Hourly fee?! Not sure what that's for, but for caring about others, kindness and empathy, my charges are always free :) - Sue x
If you read a couple articles where Petty talks about how he writes songs, this song in particular, and Penn talks about what he wanted in this video, you'll understand a lot more. Having Sir Anthony Hopkins (Hello my name is Tony, I'm an alcoholic) was perfection to me.
This brings back a vivid memory of my dad looking down at his mother’s casket and saying “I forgive you.” She had mistreated him terribly, but he found power in letting it go. Holy smokes what a good song.
Ok, it's only been a couple of minutes and i can already tell there's a 97% chance that I'll wake up with this song in my head in the morning. The song isn't incredible, it's a fucking masterpiece! Thank you to Tom and the boys and Mr. Hopkins for this whole package! Made my day!
If you think this steaming pile of sanctimonious trash is great, you're on the bong too much. Tell Petty to go fly his racist Confederate flag or Penn to bring lunch to a murdering dictator before they lecture us on how “evil” America is.
Kate Russoliloo Take it easy… you're going to hurt yourself if you keep getting bent out of shape over people enjoying music you don't like. What the hell are you doing here anyway, if you hate this so much? Seems to me you're actively seeking conflict and I'm not playing ball. Have a good one.
There is a dj in Scotland called Scottie McClue who used to do a talk show in the mid 90`s. One caller phoned in running down the homeless and Scottie said something that has stuck with me and makes me think about how lucky that some of us are. "We are only one step away from being in the same situation as homeless people ourselves."
Tom, you have been in my life since I was that young teen in 1982, discovering my love of Rock n Roll, and everything that comes with it. Your songs saw me in every phase of my life since, and no matter how long I live, I shall never forget you. God love you Tom, and Thank You.
Tony Hopkins reminds me of a trainer who would train people to ride by the Van Cortland stables in the Bronx when my dad was the foreman for the Parks Dept Thier were trails that people, mostly beginners, would learn how to ride. When I would walk over towards the stables, I would see him there, and he would ask me if I would care for a ride. I was very young and would turn him down all the time. I remember, instinctively, he was teaching a girl, about 15 years of age how to ride. She had braces from her knees down. It was somewhat sad, but encouraging at the same time. He would always say to me, If she can do it, Y can't u. He then told me a story, that if I told u I was a fallen angel and trained all the great riders throughout history to ride (think of all the people he would have trained) would u then get up on a horse and learn how to ride. I still was in a state of denial and said no. Several years later right before my dad retired, I was in my late teens and went into the office looking for him. And as luck would have it, he was still there. We talk and talk some more. But before I said my last goodby, I ask him if there was one person in history who you would have loved to have train how to ride, who would it have been. He put his hand on my shoulder, smiled, and said Joan of Arc. I said Y her? Because she overcame her fear of riding, and I helped her get ride of the braces she worn on her knees. Yeah, he did not forget about the story he told me either. Oh and by the way, IF u dare to be curious...his name was Angelo. he was that kind of a fellow. true story
Tom Petty was and always will be one of my most favorites. His song makes me reflect on my own upheaved childhood and of course, “ I forgive it all”. ❤️
I simplify love this song, what an incredible reflection on life, and forgiveness. I cried when I heard this one for the 2'nd time, and I really got what it was about. That is what made the man so special, no other singer has ever brought me to that level of emotion, what a special soul, the world lost one of it's brightest lights when his huge heart beat it's last beat. All the love Tom.
(Hopkins) "Brave Clarise... let me know when those lambs stop screaming, won't you...?" (Silence of the Lambs - best scene) Love Hopkins, and miss T Petty... now addicted on RUclips.
I heard this song for the first time while on my way to my wedding with my dad....the windows were down the sun was shinning and Tom played these sweet sounds...forever grateful for all of Toms hard work. I forgive it all.
This whole track is about growing old, reliving past memories, accepting them and forgiveness. Simple and sublime. LA as the backdrop to this video makes it hit even harder for me for way too many reasons than should or could be explained especially in a YT comment, but suffice to say I drove around it tonight and it’s hours later and I still got the feels . 💤
To my beloved Jake, you left this world at 40 years old so unexpectedly on February 11, 2023. I am so lost and so heartbroken without you. I will miss you always and forever. Love you, Daniel
Cried when I listened to this. Friends of mine and I were having conversations about forgiveness. Then on a recent Sunday morning I heard this song on a local college radio station. I looked it up and listened closely.
Nothing more surreal than experiencing feelings of love, lost and forgiveness. Giving Thanks to all my Brothers that brought this tender song to an amazing form of Art: Mudcrutch, Penn & Hopkins. Peace & Love!
Context is key for this video. It’s not anti-capitalist, it’s not political - it’s about addiction, recovery, forgiveness, and those of us in trouble and in need.
So talented Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, it always amazed me just how effortless , Petty had his audience captivated, I am unable to listen to the music now, the world mourns Tom Petty. He left his mark on the music world.
Forgiving is often the hardest thing to do but when you forgive, no one can hurt you again and you feel lots better in letting go of the anger that holds back the good in a life
I just wanna say we still you and your your girls your beautiful daughters had to put this video for their Dad, Tommy yes your gone but you live in our lives since we were teenagers and I know your on the plane of life with your mom ❤️ and what a masterful musician You are never going to be forgotten and never forget, I look at and I see the Bob Dylan of our generation and who ever is releasing these please save USB card so his music lives on please keep posting
Tom Petty one of the great American song writers. He had depth in an increasingly shallow and empty world. ‘People are what people make ‘‘em and that ain’t gonna change, ain’t nothing you can do, nothing you could rearrange’. is something I easily relate to. Save your money on self help and psychologists. This song goes straight to the uncomfortable truth. He did not die before his time, he died just in time.
Really the key to going to heaven. Forgive all and you are forgiven. Jesus is the one who made the road. We all sin and still do as we try to be good. Yet, forgive all, and all is forgiven for you are forgiven. Petty was not just an artist, but a prophet.
RIP, Tom. You were my rock. Tom you helped me recover from Neuropathy. It was you that made me believe that we can get better with time. My surroundings made me get sick, and like in this song, I had to forgive it all and move on. I'm sad beyond words that you are gone now. Thanks for all the wonderful years of dedication to your fans.
Dear Tom petty friend.. neuropathy is so understood .. MS for 25 yrs and the pain and shocks try to destroy and I know Tom will make it easier Something good coming Tom understood
TOM PETTY IS THE TRUTH! He is has the light. Mystic eyes. He is me me is he he is i i is U TOM PETTY. FAVORITE OF ALL TIMES. HIS MUSIC WILL ALWAYS BE HEAVEN ON EARTH.
This is an epic song! Tom never ceases to amaze!! It's as beautiful as Imagine or Yesterday. I hope it gets exposed to as many people as is possible. Go TOM!!!!
Haven't gone more than a few days without a tom petty song or a lot of them! since my earliest memories..don't plan in stoping. Ever. Crank it up.Crank all his music up..celebrate his life and your own when it's time to...goodnight buddy from Blackfeet nation until tomorrow..sorry to his loved ones.
Oh man I'm practically in tears. Miss ya so much Tom and every time I hear one of your songs it hurts even more more but that's mixed all up with all my love for your music and I'll keep listening as long as I live.
I just read down on some of you guys comments. I don't know why so many of you are negative about nice music, and nice veedidio's. Tony Hopkins at his best, Tom Petty at his best, and a good ol' bit of social comment going on. Negative folks should try and do one as good as this!
Tom's last music video, LOVE. So lucky I got to see Mudcrutch in Philly. Incredible show and felt like seeing an alternate history show where the Heartbreakers never were but Mudcrutch did instead. But then i thought somehow we got both. We got lucky when we met Tom...FAREWELL
Such a great song and video. Who knew Mudcrutch in 2016 would be the last time I would ever see Tom perform live. All the TBHB and Mudcrutch recordings mean so much since he's been gone. You don't know what you've lost 'til it's gone.

A wonderful song about Tom's childhood and forgiveness for his father who used to beat him because he wasn't into education or sports, dropped out of high school to get high and play music. Tom Petty was as unique as the Pyramids in Egypt or the Taj Mahal. His lyrics were as rare as the Mona Lisa, a true legend like Mark Twain who comes along about once every 200 centuries. His song Even the Losers Get Lucky Sometime is my lifetime comparative song and motivates me every time I hear it. I was that guy who cut school also to get high at lunch, now I run a corporation in America. You can do anything in life with a strong will and Tom Petty songs, work hard, be honest and the secret of life is how you affect others in a positive way. Tom Petty taught me that! Remember people, don't back down, you got lucky when I found you. lol :) Best song ever in concert - If I was King, that song is so heavenly in concert. Love you Tom, hope the kind bud is good up there! hugs, Jack Trout
Don't know you but loved your words. I'm 64 now and still adjusting to Petty's passing. But "I forgive it all" heals all wounds, all generations. Blessings to you.
What a wonderful post. I think in the end Tom did make amends with his Dad. But I think your comparing Tom as unique as the pyramids, the Taj Mahal, and lyrics as rare as the Mona Lisa, hit the nail on the head. I have never been so sad over a musician passing as I am with Tom. I play his music everyday. The abuse Tom got from his father had the opposite effect, it didn't knock out his music loving, it made him more determined. The saying "Damaged people are dangerous, they know they can survive." Could have been said about Tom Petty. Hence his fights with record companies. Great man who will be missed by me, anyway, forever.
good post Jack
Jack we could hang and get high together and listen to wildflowers in its entirety.✌🏻

What a great line... Beautiful song
Ron Guerrero it’s so true for so many of us Americans that it’s truly sad...✌️
Beautiful!
I aint broke and I aint hungry but Im close eough to care. That line says so much.
I absolutely LOVE that line!!
love this line. everyone should take heed. there could go any of us but by the grace of God!
It’s so true for many of us today. Living week to week, hoping nothing goes wrong that would break us...✌️✌️✌️

My greatest ! R.I.P. Tom Petty !!!!!!!!!!!. Im from Germany, sorry my english. I´m so sad. Tom and his music, is my music ! I was a kid in Germany, but so 14-15 years old..... !!!! And im born 1978. I love his music and i soooooo sad. :-((
Tom Petty was my best friend and my big brother.✝️🇺🇸
Noogies all around ......
So amazing. I just heard this song for first time. Today, a day after Mr. Petty passed.
This song is perhaps the one of the only songs to touch me so deeply. As an adult child of an alcoholic I find such a healing tone in this music. I have never connected to song in a such a way, I hate to admit, but I tear up every time I listen.
I think the video portrays the feelings and emotions of the song extremely poignantly.

Such a gem of human emotion portrayed musically and visually.
I'm truly touched. I'm sad I only found this today. Thank Tom Petty, I'll run down a dream as often as I can.
I just heard it today and it is just sad to hear.......... but it is excellent. Certainly an example of his extreme talent.
He gifted us well with this song.
Just heard this today. I'm not crying.
bless you wonderful man. Tom if such a thing is possible probably knows you're out there. My mum made alll the clocks stop for 2 weeks after she died and freaked out her employer who had not paid her for 3 months. I think by now he's light energy inspiriation.
Tom Petty, what a pure song writter....a teacher, a wise sage....a beautiful soul....I thank God...he is the background music to my life...has been for so long, and will remain. Love xxx
well said and I feel exactly the same way!! He is missed but never forgotten!!
Made me cry. Wonderful performance by Anthony Hopkins as always.
“People are what people make ‘em and that ain’t gonna change” no truer words ever spoken.
One of the most soul full songs ever written. Tom Petty: thank you, for putting into words, what so many of us, need to express. I forgive it all. .💗
Oh my gosh, this is such a beautiful song. It is sung from the heart. You can feel the emotion and pain. What an outstanding human being Tom Petty was. Thank you for the memories. May you rest in peace you beautiful artist.
Holy crap Batman! This is why Tom Petty has always been my man! Back to his roots with Mudcrutch working on new stuff. Included is maybe my favorite actor of all time Anthony Hopkins. This brought me to tears! What a long strange trip it's been so far!
Scott Dixon i agree, but mostly I’m excited that I’m not the only one who says “holy crap batman”.
I can't even listen to I FORGIVE IT ALL without crying like a baby!
This song gets to me every time I hear it. Even more so with the video. This song is all about letting go of resentment, and I feel like this is possibly Tom’s most personal song he ever wrote. Its beautiful and painful at the same time, as is life. My favorite line: “People are what people make em”. RIP Petty
been saying that same thing for well over 50 yr
Forgive and care about the pain around you …

Anthony Hopkins in a Petty video? My life is complete.
I agree!
Hey, and that Chrysler that he left the key in. I’m toolin.
Same!
It was a movie , not sure the one....but I agree ...it's a good thing.
I work with the poor and unhoused. This is SO not petty. Probably his most important work.
I never knew they made a video of this song. Love it. I miss Tom Petty so much and still cry over the loss of a beautiful human being.
I'm sitting here crying and it's 2021
Well said same here
2024 still cry listening to this 😢. R.I.P. Dear Tom
I think this is such a beautiful and very moving song. I loved it the very first time I heard Tom sing it.

If you read a couple articles where Petty talks about how he writes songs, this song in particular, and Penn talks about what he wanted in this video, you'll understand a lot more. Having Sir Anthony Hopkins (Hello my name is Tony, I'm an alcoholic) was perfection to me.
El video es una escena de una película?
Forgiveness is for ourselves. It’s healing.
A marvelous song to think about Tom writing in the last few years of his life. R.I.P.
This brings back a vivid memory of my dad looking down at his mother’s casket and saying “I forgive you.” She had mistreated him terribly, but he found power in letting it go.
Holy smokes what a good song.
It's wonderful to see Anthony involved in this! The song is incredible, of course, but The man's performance was fantastic! It's all in his eyes.
Ok, it's only been a couple of minutes and i can already tell there's a 97% chance that I'll wake up with this song in my head in the morning. The song isn't incredible, it's a fucking masterpiece! Thank you to Tom and the boys and Mr. Hopkins for this whole package! Made my day!
If you think this steaming pile of sanctimonious trash is great, you're on the bong too much. Tell Petty to go fly his racist Confederate flag or Penn to bring lunch to a murdering dictator before they lecture us on how “evil” America is.

Go crawl back under your rock. We don't need people like you making rude comments on something you know nothing about.

That is what made the man so special, no other singer has ever brought me to that level of emotion, what a special soul, the world lost one of it's brightest lights when his huge heart beat it's last beat. All the love Tom.
(Hopkins) "Brave Clarise... let me know when those lambs stop screaming, won't you...?"
(Silence of the Lambs - best scene) Love Hopkins, and miss T Petty... now addicted on RUclips.
I heard this song for the first time while on my way to my wedding with my dad....the windows were down the sun was shinning and Tom played these sweet sounds...forever grateful for all of Toms hard work. I forgive it all.
Beautiful, moving lyrics, the video is outstanding and brilliant. You are greatly missed, Tom.
This whole track is about growing old, reliving past memories, accepting them and forgiveness. Simple and sublime. LA as the backdrop to this video makes it hit even harder for me for way too many reasons than should or could be explained especially in a YT comment, but suffice to say I drove around it tonight and it’s hours later and I still got the feels . 💤
Thanks once again Tom for a beautiful, moving song.
There is no reason not to forgive, forgive everything. Holding on to anger only hurts us.
To my beloved Jake, you left this world at 40 years old so unexpectedly on February 11, 2023. I am so lost and so heartbroken without you. I will miss you always and forever. Love you, Daniel
A man who made peace with his life and hurts, a powerful song and message from Tom Petty, life changes your perception and feelings
Powerful and moving song. I found peace thru the 12 steps and I let go and forgave and let God ✌️❤️🙏
Cried when I listened to this.
Friends of mine and I were having conversations about forgiveness.
Then on a recent Sunday morning I heard this song on a local college radio station.
I looked it up and listened closely.
Nothing more surreal than experiencing feelings of love, lost and forgiveness. Giving Thanks to all my Brothers that brought this tender song to an amazing form of Art: Mudcrutch, Penn & Hopkins. Peace & Love!
Rip T P.. Sorry its the end of the Line.. Thanks for all the Great music.. :-(
These earliest songs are thee best!
Perfection at its best.. Sir Anthony - Good to see you again :')
And what an additional pleasure to see Sir Anthony Hopkins as I'm sure through his 12-step program he has learned to forgive it all too.
Context is key for this video. It’s not anti-capitalist, it’s not political - it’s about addiction, recovery, forgiveness, and those of us in trouble and in need.
So talented Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, it always amazed me just how effortless , Petty had his audience captivated, I am unable to listen to the music now, the world mourns Tom Petty. He left his mark on the music world.
You will be missed Mr Petty Thank you for your music.
One of the last songs Petty wrote and played live. RIP Tom!
My lyrical hero is gone... RIP Tom and thank you...
Forgiving is often the hardest thing to do but when you forgive, no one can hurt you again and you feel lots better in letting go of the anger that holds back the good in a life
I just wanna say we still you and your your girls your beautiful daughters had to put this video for their Dad, Tommy yes your gone but you live in our lives since we were teenagers and I know your on the plane of life with your mom ❤️ and what a masterful musician
You are never going to be forgotten and never forget, I look at and I see the Bob Dylan of our generation and who ever is releasing these please save USB card so his music lives on please keep posting
I couldn't believe only only 240 thousand people watched this. THERE IS ANTHONY HOPKINS, FOR GOD'S SAKE!
Something tells me it's getting a goose this week, sadly
Sad,..kids are so dumbed down...
Tom Petty one of the great American song writers. He had depth in an increasingly shallow and empty world. ‘People are what people make ‘‘em and that ain’t gonna change, ain’t nothing you can do, nothing you could rearrange’. is something I easily relate to. Save your money on self help and psychologists. This song goes straight to the uncomfortable truth. He did not die before his time, he died just in time.
Really the key to going to heaven. Forgive all and you are forgiven. Jesus is the one who made the road. We all sin and still do as we try to be good. Yet, forgive all, and all is forgiven for you are forgiven. Petty was not just an artist, but a prophet.
Jesus SAVES
Just heard this for the first time and it helped through some grief. Beautiful especially the “I forgive!”
I think this is one of the best songs he wrote and it's apt it was one of his last.
RIP, Tom. You were my rock. Tom you helped me recover from Neuropathy. It was you that made me believe that we can get better with time. My surroundings made me get sick, and like in this song, I had to forgive it all and move on. I'm sad beyond words that you are gone now. Thanks for all the wonderful years of dedication to your fans.
Dear Tom petty friend.. neuropathy is so understood .. MS for 25 yrs and the pain and shocks try to destroy and I know Tom will make it easier
Something good coming
Tom understood
If they ever do a tribute album for Tom Petty, I think this would be perfect for Lyle Lovett.
R.I.P. Tom, miss you!
TOM PETTY IS THE TRUTH! He is has the light. Mystic eyes. He is me me is he he is i i is U TOM PETTY. FAVORITE OF ALL TIMES. HIS MUSIC WILL ALWAYS BE HEAVEN ON EARTH.
This is an epic song! Tom never ceases to amaze!! It's as beautiful as Imagine or Yesterday. I hope it gets exposed to as many people as is possible. Go TOM!!!!
Thank you for your music.
Rest In Peace Tom!
I LOVE TOM PETTY, I MISS HIM SO MUCH
Amazing song...
Anthony Hopkins is great. The way he acts with just his expression and his posture is incredible...
Tom Pettys music has taught me so much.... especially how to live.
Powerful song, this is one people should listen to. Forgiveness makes life bearable, you don't carry all the hate inside
Now we know him more and more. Rest In Peace Tom.

Oh man I'm practically in tears. Miss ya so much Tom and every time I hear one of your songs it hurts even more more but that's mixed all up with all my love for your music and I'll keep listening as long as I live.
Perfection as always from Tom Petty
Beautiful and powerful
Powerful song!
I just read down on some of you guys comments. I don't know why so many of you are negative about nice music, and nice veedidio's. Tony Hopkins at his best, Tom Petty at his best, and a good ol' bit of social comment going on. Negative folks should try and do one as good as this!
Control freak, much? GTFOH
THE LYRICS ARE HEARTFELT, ALONG WITH THE MUSIC. TP EXCELLENT.
Tom's last music video, LOVE. So lucky I got to see Mudcrutch in Philly. Incredible show and felt like seeing an alternate history show where the Heartbreakers never were but Mudcrutch did instead. But then i thought somehow we got both. We got lucky when we met Tom...FAREWELL
Such a great song and video. Who knew Mudcrutch in 2016 would be the last time I would ever see Tom perform live. All the TBHB and Mudcrutch recordings mean so much since he's been gone. You don't know what you've lost 'til it's gone.
A lyrical and musical masterpiece.
My God, what a loss. I can't believe we lost him.
The song, the video and the performance are incredible.
Absolutely one great Song from Mr. Tom Petty. He maid so many great songs before he left us far to early.
