    "I've collected sunsets in my prime/now I'm planting trees I'll never climb" is a great great line.

    Not a single wasted lyric. As I get older, the line "Planting trees I'll never climb" brings mixed emotions. Time runs out eventually but the things we do can live on.

    My wife and I have been living full-time in an RV since August of 2020. Working around my speaking and book signing schedule, we travel throughout the country with our faithful golden retriever.
    We also do quite a bit of volunteer work throughout our travels (planting trees we'll never climb).
    This song really resonated with me from the very first time that I heard it. People need to get on the move. The people who we've met and places that we've seen so far have been beyond amazing.
    Get out and see the world! It's the best preventive medicine there is!

    Song reminds me of my dad. He encouraged me to join the Navy and see the world. The lyrics bring back to me the conversations I had with him in pay phones across the world. There were indeed kids with war paint on. Sadly we lost him due to COVID in December. He planted so many trees he would never climb. One of those songs where lyrics are up to interpretation, based on how they hit you.

    Where are you going my brown eyed son?
    You used to crawl but now you run
    You started off on a road half dark
    And the river curled into a question mark
    Will you sleep on diamond beaches, dear?
    And drink from prism streams so clear?
    You don't have to be rich to get around
    There are mansions growing out of the ground
    Days go by
    Get out and see the world
    Days go by
    Get out and see the world with your own eyes
    Now the journey took you far from home
    And pushed you out of your comfort zone
    There are kids out there with war paint on
    And hearts break like crayons
    Bеfore you left, the world was small
    Now thе hills are bleeding like waterfalls
    There are a lot of bad things that are buried shallow
    And cries for help with no echoes
    Days go by
    Get out and see the world
    Days go by
    Get out and see the world with your own eyes
    It's hard to see what you're going through
    Just knowing can beat up on you
    You'll spend some time in the waiting place
    And the purest things may leave no trace
    Go up the mountain top and shine
    I'll reflect it on my long decline
    I've gathered sunsets in my prime
    Now I'm planting trees I'll never climb
    Days go by
    Get out and see the world
    Days go by
    Get out and see the world with your own eyes
    Your own eyes
    Your own eyes
    Your own eyes

    Lyrics:
    Well, I started out down a dirty road
    Started out all alone
    And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
    And the town lit up, the world got still
    I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing
    Well, the good old days may not return
    And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
    I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
    But I ain't got wings (Learning to fly)
    Coming down (Learning to fly)
    Is the hardest thing (Learning to fly)
    Well, some say life will beat you down
    Break your heart, steal your crown
    So I've started out for God knows where
    I guess I'll know when I get there
    I'm learning to fly around the clouds
    But what goes up (Learning to fly)
    Must come down
    I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
    But I ain't got wings
    Coming down is the hardest thing
    I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
    Around the clouds
    But what goes up (Learning to fly)
    Must come down
    I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
    I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
    (Learning to fly, learning to fly)

    It’s the general consensus that Tom Petty lives on. I hear it too; he does resonate in your lyrics, words. But - I also hear the future of a generation that’s mine. I spent so many years listening to Petty and The Heartbreakers. Wondering if my generation would have that smooth melodic melodies and a metaphoric lyricist that could move my soul the same. I found it here. Three years now, his words have impacted me more than ‘’my dads music” ever could. Not a wasted line. Not one emotion lost. Every storing for my heart pulled.
    Great music.

    Brett, I am crying so hard right now at this video.
    I remember fucking avocoranges, and Weed Money Man, and “don’t poop on Dijon”...
    But this takes the goddamn cake for your videos of all these years.
    So happy for you. Just love it so much and love the song and love you.
