    Room At The Top (Video)
    Lyrics:
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I can see everything tonight
    I got a room where everyone
    Can have a drink and forget those things
    That went wrong in their life
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    And I ain't coming down, I ain't coming down
    I got someone who loves me tonight
    I got over a thousand dollars in the bank and I'm alright
    Look deep in the eyes of love, look deep in the eyes of love
    And find out what you were looking for
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    And I ain't coming down, no
    I ain't coming down (Yeah)
    I wish I could feel you tonight, little one
    You're so far away
    I want to reach out and touch your heart
    Yeah like they do in those things on TV, I love you
    Please love me, I'm not so bad
    And I love you so
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    I got a room at the top of the world tonight
    And I ain't coming down, no
    I ain't coming down, no
    I ain't coming down

      My dad absolutely loved listening to Tom Petty. He had all the casettes and would always play them loud and sing along to them in the car when I was a kid riding around with him and my brother and sister. I remember being embarrassed a couple of times when he picked me up from school with a Tom Petty song playing at full volume. I lost my Dad several years ago and everytime I hear a Tom Petty song play on the radio it brightens my day. I wish I could spend one more day with him and ride around just jamming out to Tom Petty. This song just reminds me of him and how he is looking down on all of us with no more pain or stress. Life is short don’t ever take it for granted. When you’re a kid, you think you’re invincible and that everyone around you will always be there. You learn quicky how short life really is and how much you miss those little car rides with the family and just little moments you never thought much of at the time. Live in the moment and really show love and appreciation to those close to you every chance you get cause you never know when it will be the last chance to do so. May God bless everybody and everything in this existence. I love you Dad, may you rest in peace in heaven.

    I would just like to say that I'm a twelve year old and this man has inspired me further my music. I was so sad to see him go but he had a certain place in everyones heart. Rest in peace Mr. Petty. You were an inspiration and an amazing man.

    • @frankkap1685
      @frankkap1685 4 года назад +17

      You're right JP, he did have a certain place in everyone's heart because his music came from the heart, and man, almost three years down the road since that fateful Monday when the news came over that Tom had stopped breathing the night before and was in the hospital on life support... it's still sad. And it still makes my heart hurt. I put together a 40 song Spotify playlist of his music and I want to give you (and all the rest of you TP&THB fans) the link for the playlist. It's not a greatest hits compilation (though I included some of the hits) but a journey through a wide range of his music from 1976 to 2016 . open.spotify.com/playlist/5VwCqTxlyG1dwnOTQagg5v?si=omHCLqkRQ4OGQqba-mz22Q ENJOY!

Blew me away from that night on and was devastated when I heard the news of his demise a couple years ago, as he was with me most of my life it seems now at 67.

    • @joannakopf852
      @joannakopf852 3 года назад +4

      @@kthor I just cried about him! That tour was such a success too. From the time he put out his first albums, I played him endlessly. I used to daydream that he was following me around because he just got whatever was going in with me! I think a lot of us felt that way or wished he was! There is an awesome Learning To Fly from Bonnaroo Festival I believe a few years before he left us and he turns it into a gospel song or a hymn to himself. I hope he is looking down on us and I definitely think he has wings. Bob Dylan played that song a few days after his death. Bob loved Tom. I think most people did. A truly great artist and a nice person too. I wish he was still here. What a loss! I will play him until the day I diie. I couldn't believe it when I heard the news that morning and then they said that maybe he was alive, but he was gone. I don't think any other musician's death has affected me like that. I just always thought he would be there! If Bob Dylan leaves us, I am leaving too. 🙏🤒💝💝💝🙏

    It's still so hard to talk about. Short story: my life was in danger from a ruptured appendix and as they were getting me prepped for surgery the anesthesiologist asked me my favorite band, of course I said Tom Petty. they randomly selected this song and played it in the OR. I remember thinking it was going to be the last song I ever heard, I clung to every note, so glad it was Tom singing.. As the mask came down on my face I saw his face.. I breathed deeply and felt so suddenly calm. He took my hand and we floated up long white hallways, and were sitting on top of a cloud, talking. I thought it was a premonition that I would not make it, but I somehow survived. Then a few weeks later it was Tom who didn't survive. I felt like he was there to comfort me but I couldn't be there for him. I prayed he had music in his heart when he passed. This was so hard to share. It eats at me every day. Please no negative comments.. I know it was just the anesthesia drugs but it was the night I almost died and it was his music that helped me in what could have been my final moments on this earth.. it has touched me in ways I cant begin to describe..

What a special human being who maybe was only able to find peace from his pain through his death. He made a helluva ride on the river. God bless this special soul, and to hell with all of the haters.

    Was lucky enough to be in the audience when this was filmed but only thanks to Tom Petty. He was tired of playing to corporate types and this was a twenty night house band gig. So here was the deal. Line up early morning in front of Tower Records. Only two tickets per person and your drivers license # was written down on the ticket and had to match when you entered the Fillmore. Place only holds about 1,000. No one has every done so much to care about his true fans.

      True true true. I read his bio and e-mailed the author with congratulations (it was moving and painful reading frankly). I included 2 articles which the author passed on to Tom Petty and he e-mailed me back, saying he liked what I wrote. Who else does stuff like that? He died for his audience: even with a fractured hip, he refused to let people down. This is not Jim Morrison etc. : this is a stubborn, ethical man who unintentially (sp) overdosed because the pain became unbearable off stage and for months one imagines some tolerance developed. A small amount over the limit. I think of him as our (all of us) unmet friend. Tx for posting.

    in 98 my better after 20 disposed of me in a brutal fashion. Had to live out of my car for a while. Eventually I clawed my way to this small apartment suite at the very top of the building. This song was just out then and became my anthem to carry on. Seeing them live is unreal. At the last show I had a sign that Tom came over to read (was front row) and be beamed when he read it. "TOM: George and Roy see you"... he holds a place in my heart.

    For me, what impresses is that Petty has not merely endured but grown; not content to hold his ground ( though to be sure in life this is no mean feat ) he has grown his craft into what we all accept as an art.
    And what truly thrills, is that he has done this across a span of years in partnership with substantially the same group of men with whom we first saw him. Those years accumulate in the sound Petty and the Heartbreakers produce - the groove gets deeper as the years pile up. There simply is no other way to sound and resonate with us as they do.
    And this song makes the point - in so few words and with such gravitas Petty sings and the Heartbreakers play a simple truth about time and the cost of commitment. Great band - brilliant song.

      I'm going out on a limb like my Mum. What do cats do when they're terrified? Climb up a tree to the tallest branch and sometimes they can't get down. It's what Eva, my mum, did. So glad Mr. Petty did. eventually. come. down. To the benefit of us all, who listen. I watched an experiment recently arranged by Stephen Fry to prove that music was the most powerful of media. Took a friend to Tosca (friend hated opera); blood pressure cuffs and at exactly the same moments they both spiked. My background's in classical music but I grew up with the Beatles et al. I don't think it an accident that 2 of them discovered and befriended a man of like mind and inspiration. I love it when people write reasoned and heartfelt comments. Thank you.

      Brian David Stoliker Beautiful and brilliant and spot on👌. The pain in this song isn't just heard by us, it's truly FELT......and felt by Tom Petty, as well. He was first and foremost, after all, a human being. He liked, he laughed, he loved, he hurt, he ached. And he channeled all of it into his brilliant and heartfelt music, from day one. And it only got better from there.....as he grew as a person and loved, lost, and grieved. Divorce sucks. I can relate. I'm going through one now. Maybe that's why I can't seem to get enough of this song lately. Or maybe it's why I cry through the whole thing. It makes me think of him.....I believe I know how he was feeling at the time. It's been said he was an every man's man. There's so much truth in that. It's why I think almost everyone relates so easily to his lyrics and songs. RIP Mr. Petty. You really do have a room at the top of the world tonight. And you ain't comin' down......😢😞

    I listened to this during my first Divorce.I was at the Battle House Hotel in Mobile AL, after a Mardi Gras Ball, with someone who wanted to be more than a friend with me, but all I could think about was how this wasn't supposed to happen, then I listened again, 10 years later when my 2nd wife walked out, and left me to pick up the pieces of what used to be our life. I was drinking or drunk every day for a while. I was also having to take care of my Dad, who had terminal cancer. I swore after that, no one would ever break my heart again, because they would never have it to break. I am alone, always have been, always will be. This song is about looking back, and realizing that neither woman really loved me. I was just a speed bump in their lives.

    I've been listening to TP songs for a couple of hours tonight, much of yesterday. It's very cathartic but man, his death has shattered me like no other. I guess it's because I'm only a couple of years younger and we kind of you know, grew up together in the years. I feel like I've lost an old friend. My daughter maybe for the first time ever has seen me like this, shattered, over something like a musician dying. Bowie was a tough one, Prince that was tough, but Tom Petty? Shattered describes it well. My heart feels so broken. So so broken.

      Roschelle McGowan He was only almost 4 years older than me, and has just always been around. His songs and videos came up on rotation, and were always good. There were pop cultural references in movies and TV, even some appearances and voice acting.
