You are the man. Hands down best reaction channel. No super extra performance. Just genuine enjoyment and open mindedness. You got them peopleness skillz. And yes I ordered 3 Throwbackness t shirts for me and my two brats.
ANOTHER BAND PLEASE DO A REACTION TO THIS SONG AND THIS BAND FROM SOUTH AMERICA PLEASE SHOW SOME LO💚E LOS CAFRES ~ AIRE 💚💛❤ ua-cam.com/video/jOv8D46ilSQ/v-deo.html
He's singing about tolerance.......we all have "stuff" going on in our lives, you don't know what the next guy is going thru so don't judge and be kind!
Tolerance and Compassion. 2 things that set humans apart from all other animals. Especially compassion. Humanity is great, pay no attention to the naysayers. Peace out! 😜
Wow! I feel vindicated! I just commented with a nearly the same thoughts on the song's meaning, then read yours! Don't feel plagiarized, feel the Sympatico! LOL
Is the girl that steps up to the mic and signs in his voice trans? Pry seen this video a 100 times when I was younger and never had that thought before. It would make sense if this video is about tolerance.
When he says, “you don’t know how it feels to be me”, he’s talking about everyone. Everyone has a story, a background, events that make them who they are. No one knows what it’s like to be me, Minneanimal. So, let’s recognize that and empathize with one another as humans, instead of judge and come to conclusions about who we are. That’s how I interpret the song.
AstroXeno One of my favorites of his! He said that his video was an inspiration of A lot of Michael Jackson’s videos. (Wait. Was it the other way around. Shoot. Forgive me. It’s quoted in the book, I Want My MTV, which is a great read!)
TP was one of the few "pre-MTV" rockers who got creative with videos. It's an underrated medium because too few really try to do something special with it.
@@davidtingley9978 Back in those days the artists produced the videos themselves- which was the reason it was so mind-blowing when Michael Jackson spent a million bucks on Thriller- so, on the low end you had some really crap videos being made, but mostly the videos of those days had a lot more of the artists' soul in them.
Great reaction. RIP to the man, myth and legend Tom Petty. I was lucky enough to see one of his last shows, the best show I have saw... Chris Stapleton opened.
This is one of my top favorites from Tom Petty. The others are - Refugee, Running down a dream, & Stop draggin' my heart around (duet with Stevie Nicks). Please jump further down into this wonderous rabbit hole - you won't be disappointed! :-)
It's a long list. Now that he's gone looking back on the body of work is kind of staggering. He always had stuff that wasn't really radio friendly and he didn't give a fuck. Something big from Hard Promises comes to mind, for whatever reason that song just captured my imagination. Reminded me of some dude I met while working at a restaurant in high school, tall stories all the time.
probably my fav. Tom Petty song but the official video kinda ruined it for me, its hard to concentrate on the music and lyrics when there is a creepshow going on
Tom Petty is an American music legend with a legendary catalogue. Genius. Dig deep into his vault for "Spike". It's a hoot. "Crawling back to You" is my alltime favorite song.
Nita B SPIKE!! YES!! I thought me & my friend were the only ones who love Spike! Me & him were always the 8th song kinda people. We loved the songs everyone else skipped over. My friend's name was Tom too but he ain't here no more either :(
This is a rabbit hole for sure...!!! "You Got Lucky" "Here Comes my Girl" "Even The Losers" "Mary Jane's Last Dance" "Don't Do Me Like That" among many others...!
I've been listening to that song since it came out...I didn't even notice anything in the background. All I saw/heard was Tom. Such an amazing talent. Still breaks my heart that he's gone. No one knows how it feels to be *anyone* else. No matter what you see or hear, there's so much more you don't.
"I woke up in between a memory and a dream". Tom is one of my favorite Artists. A true American legend with his band The Heartbreakers. Doesn't matter what you react to in his library. Ill luv it. RIP Tom 💛🎸
As a Canadian, let me correct this " A true *international* Like Geoge, Jimi legend..." A true Artist. Period. Like George, Jimi, Jodi Mitchel. The greatests of the greatests.
Tom Petty always left his songs open for interpretation, depending on how you feel that day, it can take on a different meaning, most of his songs help me calm my anxiety, to relax, let my creativity run wild and relate with the pain in my life, and the hardships I had faced that made me a kinder person. You can look at this song and music video in multiple ways. Tolerance, be kind of people because you don't know what they are going through. Or it's a song to calm your nerves, roll down the windows and drive the back roads. Looking at it from Tom Petty's perspective, The world can be in chaos, his mind wild, thoughts swirling, but the moment he sits down and do the one thing he love -- music -- then music takes that pain away, rips away those thoughts, and just chill. He just needs to live in this moment, And this song, is what means to me. To relax, to enjoy. It's okay to enjoy what you love without feeling guilt, pain, or haunted by your past. Might I recommend the song: For Real, by Tom Petty?
Tom Petty ...Legendary! Here's some more Tom Petty songs to react to..... "The Waiting" "Free Fallin'" "Refugee" "Southern Accents" "Don't Do Me Like That" "Don't Come Around Here No More" (great Alice in Wonderland theme video)
TP & the Heartbreakers "Here Comes My Girl", "Even the Losers" and "Don't Do Me Like That" . Damn the Torpedoes was an amazing debut. It was a huge influence on me as a kid.
Actually, Damn the Torpedoes was their 3rd album. There was their self titled in 1976, and "You're Gonna Get It" in 1978. Give them a listen, they're both great. The first one was my memory maker. 😊
I like all those I like all those that you mention but it was hardly a Tom Petty song that I don't like Tom Petty was very very talented had a good voice and he knew what he was doing with his music
More great songs from Tom Petty -- Mary Jane's Last Dance, Don't Come Around Here No More, Free Fallin', Runnin' Down A Dream.... so many great choices!
Mary Jane's Last Dance had been one of my favourite songs since it came out. I had never seen the official video for that song though until last year. The video is creepy af and kinda ruined the song for me. Nothing what I pictured in my head whenever I heard it:)
I sure do miss Tom Petty! The man could sing, play his guitar and his harmonica and dance to the beat all at the same time.. and sound so smooth like he was.. it doesn't get much better than that! You need to experience more of this talent, Jamel. Go down that rabbit hole! He was also one of the Traveling Wilburys. :-)
This is one of my theme songs. I live with depression and also have 2 grown sons with autism. Life is rough,trying to see it through. Love your videos and your reactions.
End of the Line, with The Traveling Wilburys, was the mantra of my life. Tom Petty is so fantastic. My husband passed, these songs bring so many memories, thank you.
No disrespect, but two of the simplest and most repetitive songs "written for radio" in Tom's catalog?... I'm confused. I mean almost all Petty songs are great, but these seem like strange choices for reactions or an introduction to Tom.
@@_Common_Logic_ Free Fallin was one of his most sophisticated songs. When he did "Refugee, " everyone said he was a poor man's Bob Dylan--funny they were Willburys together. The older he got, the better he got. "I should have known it" from the the Mojo album is an example. The fact that he had hot women in the videos for the two tunes I suggested is irrelevant--kind of, it did get him extra attention on MTV.
@@henchmusic5878 - It may have come off as sophisticated, but have you ever heard Petty explain what the song was about, how it came about, and how seriously he took the "creative process" during the one night he came up with the tune just to appease Jeff Lynne? Tom was great at making "deep" sound simple, and he purposely eliminated any "unnecessary chords from most of his writing, but I (personally) don't find Free Fallin' anywhere near as thought-provoking as many of his deeper cuts like "Dogs on the Run" (Not that I'd suggest it for the average reaction channel). If you really want to hear Petty channel his "inner Dylan" (with a side-order of Lou Reed), go back and revisit "I Don’t Know What To Say To You" ... If that doesn't bring a smile to your face, you're having one hell of a messed up day. ;-)
@@_Common_Logic_ Thanks. I'll get around to that. I'm not a big Jeff Lynne fan either, everything is too overproduced--but ,of course, ELO had to be. I like Free Fallin' for the music, the progression, and the implementation, not the "depth." I've been playing guitar for more than 40 years. The poetry...still a work in progress. ;-)
@@henchmusic5878 Almost 50 years playing here too and I agree 1000% with you on the Jeff Lynne thing... Here comes the hate. I'd have to literally count my ticket stubs to know how many times I've seen Tom over the years... Most times more than once per tour, so there were shows that I zeroed-in on Mike or even Bentmont more than anything... Did a brief stint in a TP tribute thing (Early 2000's), so I used to curse Campbell out regularly. =) IDC how much anyone listens to TP& the boys, you'll always hear something new... Not many bands like that out there in abt genre... It really sucks that the run is over.
Fun fact: Everytime he says "joint" he's hiding his mouth behind the mic cause of censorship reasons. When the woman stands infornt of the mic Tom tries despretly to get behind the mic and he misses a by a little. After that you see him look to his right to the director or producer or whatever to confirm that they'll finish the take. After that he gives the woman a look that I read as "damn you nearly messed up the whole thing" As soon as you know this you just can't over look it
I seem to remember that with MuchMusic in Canada, the hours of the day that they had to censor things, they had "tnioj" overdubbed on it instead of any sort of beep.
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are one of my favorite bands! Tom is a genius songwriter with a great sense of humor. You can't go wrong with any of his catalogue! He left this Earth way to soon! RIP Tom Petty
Tom Petty is one of them ones that you don’t realize how great he was until you pick up a greatest hits/best of package - all of a sudden you see the track list and listen to the songs and it dawns on you that you recognize 90% of the songs AND they’re absolute fire! RIP
I've always taken it as he's got a lot of stuff going on in his life that people fail to consider, which explains why all the craziness in the background is out of focus. Everyone just looks at him and not what's happening around him. Whether or not the events in the background literally were occurring to him or if they were just pure, random craziness I don't know, but the point still stands.
cynicalstream 42 I think I’m one of the elite, that watches the background more than anything, when I watch something. (For example, Meatballs the movie, and of course, Airplane!)
I think he was just using the people in the background prostitute circus people possibly girl being assaulted that pulled a gun on a man and like the transgender person singing the part you don't know how it feels to be me. Basically telling the world they don't know how it feels to be the people they look down on and constantly criticize or make fun of..
Mr. Tom Petty, Unfortunately another great artist we lost last year. Thanks so much for all the great music. American Girl & Stop draggin my heart around.
Good god, I love Tom Petty! Aaaaaggghhhhh!!! You’re face, Jamel, when he said “let’s roll another joint.”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think I’m gonna smoke one tonight for you!
Here is a hint on the songs meaning: You don't know how it feels... to be me. Like I don't know hat it feels....to be you. This to me is the genius of this song.
and I miss Him........some amazing tunes, and touched a lot of folks in his life, just like a lot of folks touched Him...We will always have Tom Petty, he lives on
Tom Petty's music IS America. I still believe he was a voice for our Country. America's Golden Boy He has so many amazing songs, you could react every day for months
Tom Petty is so chill. I discovered him on pandora when I was like 15. Me and my friends would always smoke weed and listen to red hot chili peppers radio and this song always came on. Nothing like some TP!
Nick Colbert look to the future man. I was only joking about being a loser. No human being is a loser. There are people who are put in unfortunate circumstances but it just depends on how you deal with it. Keep smiling bro and God Bless! 🤛🏻
Scott Ferrell thanks man, and I was semi-joking as well. Just in a bad spot in life but I know it will get better. Really appreciate the sentiment man! 🍻🤘🏻✌🏼
I got to see Tom Petty live, when he was touring this(Wildflowers) album. I was 9, and loved his music for years already. And I still do! RIP Mr. Petty
Definitely one of my favourites - always loved this song. It was this video that finally persuaded me to buy my Firebird. To this day, I am still shocked and saddened that we lost Tom far far too early. RIP Tom.
Always a song that speaks to me, like so many Petty songs. Truly one of our greatest songwriters and musicians of his era. Mix in the brilliant Mike Campbell, Benmont and the rest of the Heartbreakers and you just have an amazing catalogue of music. Enjoy the ride.
Tom Petty and Paul Simon have kept me alive on long car trips where I'm driving through FM Hell and getting sleepy at the wheel. Having albums I know all the words to and can sing along really helps. I knew who he was before Middle School (mid-80s for me), but my first memory of him was on, "It's Garry Shandling's Show," a satirical "sitcom" on Showtime that had Garry breaking the fourth wall to talk to the audience. In one episode, they all went to Vegas, and on the trip back Garry is summing up the trip, and he mentions how everyone enjoyed themselves and how Tom even won an electric keyboard, and there's Tom in the back happy as he can be holding a keyboard. They were apparently very good friends.
You Got Lucky, American Girl, Here Comes My Girl, Refugee, Don't Do Me Like That, Breakdown, Don't Come Around Here No More, Free Fallin, Runnin Down A Dream
Love Tom Petty. Felt like I lost a childhood friend when he passed away. Saw him 4 times in concert. 2 other songs of his "Listen to Her Heart" and 'Woman in Love" . Videos for these 2 from The Old Grey Whistle Test back in the day.

So do I.
learning to fly, running down a dream ,American girl , won't back down,take your pick all great
Learning to fly is also the name of a great pink floyd song
Yes also the waiting and even the losers.
Can't forget Marry Jane's last dance!
@@justen98 just the entire greatest hits basically, not a bad tune. I'm sure the deeper catalog is great too!
@@MyFlipperLikesIce Right!... I like a lot of his music.
He's singing about tolerance.......we all have "stuff" going on in our lives, you don't know what the next guy is going thru so don't judge and be kind!
Definitely could use some tolerance these days.
Tolerance and Compassion. 2 things that set humans apart from all other animals.
Especially compassion. Humanity is great, pay no attention to the naysayers. Peace out! 😜
@@brotherjesus4246 This world is in need of compassion, this song speaks to the need for more.

"Don't come around here no more" has one of the greatest videos.
My father was the cinematographer on that video
Very Alice in Wonderland inspired.
Is be down for that.

Great video, definitely a gem to react to‼️👍🏼😎

"You Got Lucky" is one of his great early songs, and has a cool video.
"Refugee" was one of his biggest.

Running down a dream is outstanding!
Running down a dream is my favorite song by him most likely. He is one of my top three artists of all time
Tom petty and Eddie vedder the waiting is really cool
Breakdown the live version
It's a long list. Now that he's gone looking back on the body of work is kind of staggering. He always had stuff that wasn't really radio friendly and he didn't give a fuck. Something big from Hard Promises comes to mind, for whatever reason that song just captured my imagination. Reminded me of some dude I met while working at a restaurant in high school, tall stories all the time.
Thanks for finally getting to TomPetty. You’ve just scratched the surface of decades of hits. More Tom Petty and the Hearbreakers!!!
Yay! Finally Tom Petty! Made my day! Don't stop now, so much to discover!
If you’ve never heard brother Tom before then you’ve opened up a magical world of legendary songs !!! Enjoy it Jamel
The man, the legend - Tom Petty - Rest In Peace.
Gone to soon
My favorite Tom Petty song. It’s never long enough!! ❤️
You should do Mary Jane's Last Dance by Tom Petty
that music video for that song is just downright creepy...but I love it!
btw.. love your name there Raoul ;)... lol.. big fan of H.S.T.!
probably my fav. Tom Petty song but the official video kinda ruined it for me, its hard to concentrate on the music and lyrics when there is a creepshow going on
My favorite of his!!
Trippy ass music video. Probably one of the best ever. ❤️ Rest in the the light Tom Petty. ✌️
Tom Petty is an American music legend with a legendary catalogue. Genius. Dig deep into his vault for "Spike". It's a hoot. "Crawling back to You" is my alltime favorite song.
Crawling back is a killer tune
Crawling Back To You is truly lyrical genius.
“Most thing I worry about never happen anyway.”
“I’m so tired of being tired.”
"Crawling Back to You" is brilliant - My favorite song from my favorite Tom Petty album
Nita B SPIKE!! YES!! I thought me & my friend were the only ones who love Spike! Me & him were always the 8th song kinda people. We loved the songs everyone else skipped over. My friend's name was Tom too but he ain't here no more either :(
He’s talking about how most people are quick to judge when, they don’t know what that person is going through or has gone through
“Stop draggin my heart around “ with Stevie Nicks- please- it’s fantastic! ❤️💛☮️💟✌️
yes do this one you wont be sorry
Totally Agree!!! 💙🎶
Oh yeah! Great song, and in the video Stevie gives Tom this look... that look that says "wait till we're alone."
Tom..my all time favorite
This is a rabbit hole for sure...!!! "You Got Lucky" "Here Comes my Girl" "Even The Losers" "Mary Jane's Last Dance" "Don't Do Me Like That" among many others...!
Oh god yes! "I'll just listen to a bit of Tom Petty," you say and then hours later you're still finding stuff you didn't realize he had his hands in!
Don't ask me why, but I always think of Sam Kinison
whenever I hear that "oh oh oh" at the end of Don't Do Me Like That.
"Here comes my girl" almost makes you feel how he feels about that girl. Love that song.
Great suggestions! I'd add American Girl.
Petty is (was) great. Sad loss. I was at a friends house yesterday and they played the satellite rock station. All 2020 songs...fucking garbage
I've been listening to that song since it came out...I didn't even notice anything in the background. All I saw/heard was Tom. Such an amazing talent. Still breaks my heart that he's gone.
No one knows how it feels to be *anyone* else. No matter what you see or hear, there's so much more you don't.
"I woke up in between a memory and a dream"
Brilliant
"I woke up in between a memory and a dream".
Tom is one of my favorite Artists. A true American legend with his band The Heartbreakers. Doesn't matter what you react to in his library. Ill luv it. RIP Tom 💛🎸
I like when he says I woke up in between a mattress and a limousine.
As a Canadian, let me correct this " A true *international* Like Geoge, Jimi legend..." A true Artist. Period.
Like George, Jimi, Jodi Mitchel. The greatests of the greatests.
@@marcryvon yep!
Tom Petty sang so many great songs. For some reason, "You Wreck Me" is my favorite.
Absolutely love this one. After a long day at work I’ll throw it on the record player and kick my feet up. Just the perfect mellow.
Jamal, u got to do American Girl and Refugee or Jammin Me
YES.....please!
Don't forget "Free Falling" Please !
Runnin Down a Dream, Don't Come Around Here No More
YES
"Stop Draggin' My Heart Around"
Tom Petty is a National Treasure. RIP.
Love love love Tom Petty. Please check out “Stop Draggin my Heart Around” with Tom and Stevie Nicks!
Tom Petty is my favorite singer/songwriter bandleader.
You've got to react to Stop Draggin My Heart Around by Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks 😎
That Tom Petty was....and still is......cooler than anyone you ever knew. Period.
The greatest Florida Man of all time , Tom Petty! You gotta review American Girl!
Tom Petty always left his songs open for interpretation, depending on how you feel that day, it can take on a different meaning, most of his songs help me calm my anxiety, to relax, let my creativity run wild and relate with the pain in my life, and the hardships I had faced that made me a kinder person.
You can look at this song and music video in multiple ways.
Tolerance, be kind of people because you don't know what they are going through.
Or it's a song to calm your nerves, roll down the windows and drive the back roads.
Looking at it from Tom Petty's perspective, The world can be in chaos, his mind wild, thoughts swirling, but the moment he sits down and do the one thing he love -- music -- then music takes that pain away, rips away those thoughts, and just chill. He just needs to live in this moment,
And this song, is what means to me.
To relax, to enjoy. It's okay to enjoy what you love without feeling guilt, pain, or haunted by your past.
Might I recommend the song: For Real, by Tom Petty?
Tom Petty ...Legendary!
Here's some more Tom Petty songs to react to.....
"The Waiting"
"Free Fallin'"
"Refugee"
"Southern Accents"
"Don't Do Me Like That"
"Don't Come Around Here No More"
(great Alice in Wonderland theme video)
Fun Fact:
The Sitar you hear in the opening riff on "Don't Come Around Here No More" was played by Dave Stewart from "The Eurythmics"
My all time favorite Petty song, 61 here and loving your reactions, you're too funny 😁
TP & the Heartbreakers "Here Comes My Girl", "Even the Losers" and "Don't Do Me Like That" . Damn the Torpedoes was an amazing debut. It was a huge influence on me as a kid.
The album Wildflowers was a great influence on my childhood 🙂 among all of his other work too!
Damn the Torpedoes was his 2nd record
Actually, Damn the Torpedoes was their 3rd album. There was their self titled in 1976, and "You're Gonna Get It" in 1978. Give them a listen, they're both great. The first one was my memory maker. 😊
I like all those I like all those that you mention but it was hardly a Tom Petty song that I don't like Tom Petty was very very talented had a good voice and he knew what he was doing with his music
Another one of the greats that is truly missed by his fans. R.I.P. Tom!🖤👍🤘💜
More great songs from Tom Petty -- Mary Jane's Last Dance, Don't Come Around Here No More, Free Fallin', Runnin' Down A Dream.... so many great choices!
yeah dont come around here no more literally is going down the rabbit hole, via Alice in wonderland
Mary Jane's Last Dance had been one of my favourite songs since it came out. I had never seen the official video for that song though until last year. The video is creepy af and kinda ruined the song for me. Nothing what I pictured in my head whenever I heard it:)
Ahhhh.....Tom Petty! ❤️❤️ One of the all- time greatest.
"American Girl".."I Won't Back Down".."Runnin' Down a Dream".. so many! But his duet with Stevie Nicks, "Stop Dragging My Heart Around" is a MUST!!💙🌿💚
What a catalogue of pure goodness. Sure do miss Tom. Rock on man, rock on!
So so sad to see these amazing musicians and know they will not produce any more music. RIP Tom Petty
I sure do miss Tom Petty! The man could sing, play his guitar and his harmonica and dance to the beat all at the same time.. and sound so smooth like he was.. it doesn't get much better than that! You need to experience more of this talent, Jamel. Go down that rabbit hole! He was also one of the Traveling Wilburys. :-)

Tom Petty is one of the greatest songwriters of all time. TP and the Heartbreakers are one of the greatest American bands of all time.
Mary Jane’s Last Dance!!!
So many hits! Such a beautiful soul. RIP
So much Tom Petty!!! Mary Jane's last dance, Breakdown, Runnin down a dream. So so much more!!✌
Luv Tom Petty! "Breakdown"and "Don't Come Around Here No More" and "Runin Down A Dream"are great songs from him ✌
Man, this tears my heart all up. Miss Tom Petty SO MUCH!!
I went to Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers "The Last DJ" show for my 21st birthday. Tom Petty has a special place in my heart.
Full Moon Fever! Every song on that album is a hit.
Good one, Jamel. If you get to him, I recommend "Free Fallin'" or "Mary Jane's Last Dance."

As soon as you know this you just can't over look it
If your doing Tom you gotta do BREAKDOWN!
i agree..
Yes Yes Yes and last Dance With Mary Jane.
i"ll say it once and I'll say it again....TOM PETTY AND STEVIE NICKS...
"STOP DRAGGING MY HEART AROUND"...you will not be disapointed my friend.
And don't forget Insider!:)
On the Weird Al kick, Stop Dragging my Car Around
I remember watching this on MTV. They would censor the word "joint", so I always remember "Lemme get to the point, let's roll another "."
I still sing it like that!
Like people didn’t know what the word was! Lmao! Teenagers yet! Lol
I seem to remember that with MuchMusic in Canada, the hours of the day that they had to censor things, they had "tnioj" overdubbed on it instead of any sort of beep.
Refugee and Last Dance with Mary Jane are my favorite Tom Petty songs
Tom Petty "You got lucky"
Great 80's classic mtv video.
Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers are one of my favorite bands! Tom is a genius songwriter with a great sense of humor. You can't go wrong with any of his catalogue! He left this Earth way to soon! RIP Tom Petty
Tom has so many great songs, this doesn't even make my top 10. "American Girl" and "Don't come around here no more" are amazing. RIP legend. Thx Jamel
People come, people go. Some grow young, some grow cold. You don't know how it feels to be me... What a great effing line! T-shirt worthy! ✌
My all time favorite Tom Petty song! Thanks for doing the review bro!
Tom Petty is one of them ones that you don’t realize how great he was until you pick up a greatest hits/best of package - all of a sudden you see the track list and listen to the songs and it dawns on you that you recognize 90% of the songs AND they’re absolute fire! RIP
I've always taken it as he's got a lot of stuff going on in his life that people fail to consider, which explains why all the craziness in the background is out of focus. Everyone just looks at him and not what's happening around him. Whether or not the events in the background literally were occurring to him or if they were just pure, random craziness I don't know, but the point still stands.
cynicalstream 42 great observation!
cynicalstream 42 I think I’m one of the elite, that watches the background more than anything, when I watch something. (For example, Meatballs the movie, and of course, Airplane!)
I think he was just using the people in the background prostitute circus people possibly girl being assaulted that pulled a gun on a man and like the transgender person singing the part you don't know how it feels to be me. Basically telling the world they don't know how it feels to be the people they look down on and constantly criticize or make fun of..
Mr. Tom Petty,
Unfortunately another great artist we lost last year. Thanks
so much for all the great music.
American Girl & Stop draggin my heart around.
Long time comin! Hope everyone’s having a good Saturday.
Good god, I love Tom Petty! Aaaaaggghhhhh!!! You’re face, Jamel, when he said “let’s roll another joint.”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I think I’m gonna smoke one tonight for you!
Here is a hint on the songs meaning: You don't know how it feels... to be me. Like I don't know hat it feels....to be you. This to me is the genius of this song.
"Free Fallin", "I Won't Back Down", and "Mary Janes Last Dance" r all Tom Petty classics
Oh yeah! More Tom Petty please!
and I miss Him........some amazing tunes, and touched a lot of folks in his life, just like a lot of folks touched Him...We will always have Tom Petty, he lives on
His song "Walls" is severely underrated. Tom Petty is part of the big three for sure (with Van Morrison and Neil Young).
Tom Petty's music IS America. I still believe he was a voice for our Country. America's Golden Boy He has so many amazing songs, you could react every day for months
Normally I come here for the metal, but this song is part of my soul, so I'm watching.
One of my all time favorite artists. American girl. Face in the crowd. Refugee. The apartment song. I've got you too save me. Endless masterpieces.
Tom Petty is so chill. I discovered him on pandora when I was like 15. Me and my friends would always smoke weed and listen to red hot chili peppers radio and this song always came on. Nothing like some TP!
He had such a kind soul and a real way with words. So many great songs, but Walls and It's Good To Be King are exceptional.
Can you do I Won't Back Down please?
Seconded!
Totally agree. That song has so much meaning behind it.
Vouch
The Waiting, Woman In Love, You Got Lucky, Even the Losers...he has so many great songs
“Even the losers” is a good one, especially for us losers... 😔😉
We do get lucky sometimes.....
Scott Ferrell keep a little bit of pride 👊🏻🍻
Scott Ferrell I can say from personal experience it is definitely a drag when you’re livin’ in the past. I guess that’s what beer is for.
Nick Colbert look to the future man. I was only joking about being a loser. No human being is a loser. There are people who are put in unfortunate circumstances but it just depends on how you deal with it. Keep smiling bro and God Bless! 🤛🏻
Scott Ferrell thanks man, and I was semi-joking as well. Just in a bad spot in life but I know it will get better. Really appreciate the sentiment man! 🍻🤘🏻✌🏼
I got to see Tom Petty live, when he was touring this(Wildflowers) album. I was 9, and loved his music for years already. And I still do! RIP Mr. Petty
Tom Petty is one of my FAVORITE artists of ALLL time!!
Runnin Down A Dream is my Favorite tune by him.
Hint Hint HINNNT!!!
"You got Lucky" is another iconic 80s video by the legendary Tom Petty
My favorite Tom Petty is the first one I heard: I Need To Know.
Tom Petty man! Singing, playing guitar & harmonica! I can't even do laundry & dishes at the same time! Respect.
American Girl, Listen to her heart, Refugee, Breakdown, The Waiting, Room at the Top
Definitely one of my favourites - always loved this song. It was this video that finally persuaded me to buy my Firebird. To this day, I am still shocked and saddened that we lost Tom far far too early. RIP Tom.
Jamel...please listen to It's Good to be King. 😁✌️
Oohhhh....you'll love Runnin down a Dream too!
Always a song that speaks to me, like so many Petty songs. Truly one of our greatest songwriters and musicians of his era. Mix in the brilliant Mike Campbell, Benmont and the rest of the Heartbreakers and you just have an amazing catalogue of music. Enjoy the ride.
RIP Tom Petty. You can now lead the angels in song. Thanks for the great music and being a huge sound track to my life!❤
Hard to believe how MTV would "bleep" out the words roll, and joint, when this song was first released.
The girl singing with Tom is Raven Snow.
Tom Petty and Paul Simon have kept me alive on long car trips where I'm driving through FM Hell and getting sleepy at the wheel. Having albums I know all the words to and can sing along really helps.
I knew who he was before Middle School (mid-80s for me), but my first memory of him was on, "It's Garry Shandling's Show," a satirical "sitcom" on Showtime that had Garry breaking the fourth wall to talk to the audience. In one episode, they all went to Vegas, and on the trip back Garry is summing up the trip, and he mentions how everyone enjoyed themselves and how Tom even won an electric keyboard, and there's Tom in the back happy as he can be holding a keyboard. They were apparently very good friends.
You Got Lucky, American Girl, Here Comes My Girl, Refugee, Don't Do Me Like That, Breakdown, Don't Come Around Here No More, Free Fallin, Runnin Down A Dream
Refugee
Breakdown
Running Down a Dream
Freefalling
Yes! All great songs!
RIP Tom
Love Tom Petty. Felt like I lost a childhood friend when he passed away. Saw him 4 times in concert. 2 other songs of his "Listen to Her Heart" and 'Woman in Love" . Videos for these 2 from The Old Grey Whistle Test back in the day.
The eagles “new kid in town” “I can’t tell you why” “one of these nights” amazing songs
I remember watching this when it first came out. Instantly hooked. Great song! Rest Easy Tom
"Let's get to the point, Let's roll another joint and head on down the road"
Awww miss him.... seeing him perform live was on my bucket list and I was so sad when he passed unexpectedly 🖤
