Such a beautiful voice. I wish Tom was still here. 💔💐 I love listening to this without the official video. It makes me appreciate the song much more. Such a great voice. Thank you Tom.
Use to pick my 7 year old daughter up from school, we'd race home, have something to eat, and then dance around the living room to this song - she's 33 now and when she and her family comes over we put the song on and we all do it - great memories - great life - luv ya TP
This is far and away my favorite Petty & Heartbreakers song. I was recovering from a heart attack when Petty died. I hadn't fully gotten over losing George Harrison, and Petty being gone just broke my heart.
I know it's old news. But the world feels like such a worse place knowing that he's not around. Thank you for your beautiful music Mr.Petty you finally learned to fly ❤️
It was on the news today that the young Turpin adults (older 7 kids of family of 13 children in SoCal tortured by their parents) are learning to play on the guitar & sing this song as musical therapy & a part of their recovery. Really touches me.
On the way home from having to put my beloved little bird to sleep, this song came on the radio..I knew then my little Teddy made it to heaven, and I believe Tom Petty was there to greet him and show him around... God Bless You Both!!!
I do have to laugh at the lyrics: "Learning to fly, but I ain't got wings. Coming down is the hardest thing." -- UH YEAH, I WOULD THINK SO, THEN!! Ha ha. Has always cracked me up. Still, great tune.
Me and some mates were born in the nineties. We love this song. Head it on the radio. And played it a week ago for our exit song at a small local gig. In dedication to friend. I think we had a few people come up, crying about how lovely the song was :) Tom Petty teaches life... :)
He isnt resting in peace, Doesn't have a tired old body anymore to slow him down, he got his wings!! Thanks for sharing your soul and music while you here with us Tom..
and they shall smoke from the root of the earth until their eyes become redand they speak like prophets. thank you for posting and may peace be upon you and yours.
Praise the Lord for people like Tom Petty, who inspire us as we walk "down a dirty road" on our way to the clouds to be united with Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Be blessed, brethren.
can't resist because I know how funny Tom was. Ever read Good Omens, Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, yeah? Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy genre; funny isn't even a word you're gasping it's simply hilarious. The apocalypse is nie and Crowley (who began life as the serpent in the garden of 'eden and his angelic counterpart, can't spell name of angel, have gotten used to living in this world and are not happy about the End of Days at all. Crowley has a great vintage car but gets increasingly frustrated, 'he wanted Bach but would settle for the Travelling Wilburys, but knew it always turned into Freddy Mercury". On the subject of heaven, You'll have a great time up there, watching the Sound of Music over and over again,,,,,' … Tom's not in Heaven, he's rolling around the stars with his favorite dog; he has been released; he has learned to fly.
I will never forget the concert in 2008 in Winnipeg Canada in 2008 when Tom Petty did this song in concert the whole crowd sang the words it was, one of the greatest concerts I ever saw I was always a huge fan we will miss you Tom Petty you were one of the greatest from Gainsvile, Florida.
I will forever regret not buying those concert tickets for summer 2017 in Seattle. My thought was I would catch him next time. Next time never came. Rest in peace Mr. Petty. You will forever be missed. You finally got your wings. 😥😥😥
OMG i did the same thing in Chicago. I thought i was the only one. I will forever regret not pulling the trigger. I thought I was the only one that felt that way. RIP Tom
I took a huge risk to see him in Hyde Park with StevieNicks.Had to travel back to Cornwall overnight and straight back into teaching that day with no sleep. Was in the second row. Could have gone toSpain for week in what it cost Best night ever. Love you to tomxx No regrets
IMO one of TP's very best -- and underrated. Simplicity is often a strength, not a weakness. The good ole days may not return and they won't. It will never be the same. No addictions. I hope my neighbors like this song :-)
Jack Lambert --amen! Agreed! Peace and love to Tom, thank you for the music you gave. We are learning to fly, free freefalling and we won't back down! Peace to all!✌💔😢🎸🎶
Yep he definitely did!! Can't wait to see you in Heaven Tom,I know you re singing,ALL your great songs!!! there in Heaven,while you're learning to fly with your wings! R.I.P. Tom.Love you and miss you dearly!!
He's learnt to fly, all the way to heaven. Wish Tom hadn't did me like that, but he's gone into the great big wide open. He won't be back, but we can all look how he ran down his dream and created this beautiful music. If you're feeling sad, listen to your heart and let those feelings out. It may be the end of the line for him, but know he's had a blast before his last dance. I think I might breakdown and cry. R.I.P Tom, handle him with care, God.
i remember driving my Big Rig truck up though California to Plymouth Ca and i wore this tape out by the time i got back to L.A. Thanks tom for the Memories !! Diesel smoke and green hills -
Since i started listening to music way back in the early 80s..MR TOM PETTY..kinda "jumped at me"..his music simply put my defences down in sucha beautiful way..almost lika martial-art-sound-mage :)..i let it overwhelm me entirely..it seemed like this spell was forever..and it is ..i know now..may he yes rest in peace ..but your music man will rock&roll forever! ..for ever!!!!!
At last. Love you Tom and all your music people. The rocks might melt but we will build a new Jerusalem together, From the little people. Lots of love. xxx

Yes so so sad. He was a unique man. 💔
Such a beautiful voice. I wish Tom was still here. 💔💐 I love listening to this without the official video. It makes me appreciate the song much more. Such a great voice. Thank you Tom.

A million 🔥
I never tire of this song. Tom Petty was the greatest.
A beautiful song from a beautiful musician. 🎸💔
This is far and away my favorite Petty & Heartbreakers song. I was recovering from a heart attack when Petty died. I hadn't fully gotten over losing George Harrison, and Petty being gone just broke my heart.
A wonderful song, so relatable. His passing has had a profound affect on me. One of my true rock heroes.
I know it's old news. But the world feels like such a worse place knowing that he's not around. Thank you for your beautiful music Mr.Petty you finally learned to fly ❤️

What sort of bird was Teddy? You might say he learned to fly. 😊 God bless.
A true legend. The greatest artist. We love you and miss you terribly, Tom. You will never be forgotten💓
This is my grandson's favorite. 3 generations hangout and listen to Tom,Mike & the heartbreakers. Cool as it gets. Thanks T.P.

Saw Tom and the Heartbreakers in Cardiff in the mid seventies......best ever....RIP.Thanks for the music.

This song among others helped me get through my military service and I will never forget all the awesome moments I shared with this song.

Treetop Flyer
No u aren’t
Treetop Flyer still listen all the time & always will....
Such a kind man as I follow his interviews. I think "here comes my girl" is like a sour lemon sucking candy. Noone else can...
You got good company here, as long as we play his music he will still be with us..
Treston you aint.....
Love you Tom, thank you so much for your amazing music
Miss you Tom. I used to listen to this song while riding my bike along Spokane river back in 91... Oh my God, have I become old?
He finally got his wings.
Rest in peace, buddy. ;(
Well said my friend, well said.
Best words so far.

A true master of the craft. You'll always be remembered, Mr. Petty. 😎

Political correctness is taking over everything, music like Tom's will never comeback again, but will never be forgotten!
In my heart he will always make it in my books

He's learnt to fly, all the way to heaven. Wish Tom hadn't did me like that, but he's gone into the great big wide open. He won't be back, but we can all look how he ran down his dream and created this beautiful music. If you're feeling sad, listen to your heart and let those feelings out. It may be the end of the line for him, but know he's had a blast before his last dance. I think I might breakdown and cry. R.I.P Tom, handle him with care, God.
1 of the top 10 70s-80s bands/singer/songwriters.
James Merkel this was written in 91
that said, I still think the '80s were the greatest era for music, period. And Tom Petty rules :)
One of the best songs. Ever.
Well the good old days, may not return.
