    This was my wife's absolute favorite song. I sang it to her on her our wedding day and again the day of her funeral. Listening to it is a bit like a quick visit with her again.

    [Chorus]
    You belong among the wildflowers
    You belong in a boat out at sea
    Sail away, kill off the hours
    You belong somewhere you feel free
    [Verse 1]
    Run away, find you a lover
    Go away somewhere all bright and new
    I have seen no other
    Who compares with you
    [Chorus]
    You belong among the wildflowers
    You belong in a boat out at sea
    You belong with your love on your arm
    You belong somewhere you feel free
    [Verse 2]
    Run away, go find a lover
    Run away, let your heart be your guide
    You deserve the deepest of cover
    You belong in that home by and by
    [Chorus]
    You belong among the wildflowers
    You belong somewhere close to me
    Far away from your trouble and worry
    You belong somewhere you feel free
    You belong somewhere you feel free

    When I first heard this, I wasn’t in a good place emotionally; It’s easy to let the world take you down.
    I’ve always dreamt of making my way about the world getting right with myself, living by my own rules, and hopefully finding the girl I’m meant to find.
    I guess it was just nice to hear a perfect song that fit that perspective.

    • @lostintashkent

    Brought me to tears on the way home from work tonight. Beyond the word beautiful.... Heard this version for the fist time tonight, because KPFA is playing a lot of the artists that will perform at the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Fest in GG Park this weekend. One more reason to love San Francisco. Not even a big Tom Petty fan, but dang it if this aint a moving cover.....

    Remarkable. Taking on 1 then 2 then 3 then seemingly 4th dimensions of beauty within this beautiful song. All the more timeless as its US release seems to have followed the writing/singing/arranging master’s passing by just a few weeks in Oct. 2017. Thank you for this piece of Peace.

    So, today my best friend, the amazing artist in multiple forms of expression including songwriting, shared a photograph he took of beautiful yellow wildflowers. My inner turntable immediately cued up Tom Petty. I searched and listened to him sing this song, and then over on the side list, almost overlooked like a tiny wildflower on a run through the woods, was this cover waiting for me. I am surprised I never found it before, as I have loved the song "One Voice" by the Jennys for many years. But I am here now, and enchanted by these girls and their angelic voices again. I am here, listening, and I feel free.

    This version of this song is just absolutely beautiful. I used to sing it to my cat until he crossed the rainbow bridge in March of 2020 because of kidney failure. 12 years is not a long time but he belongs among the wildflowers and somewhere he feels free.
    This cover gives so much depth to it, it makes me cry each time I hear it, and it did before my personal association with my deceased beloved companion.
