Tom Petty had such a great sense of humor. It was 1984, my boyfriend (who later became my husband)and I went to the Palomino Club in the San Fernando Valley to see Neil Young. We were in the front at a large long table. Who comes in and sits across from us? Tom Petty. My boyfriend says to him " Oh wow! I never expected to see you here". To which Tom Petty replied, " I never expected to see you here either!" I love this memory so much, as both Tom Petty and my husband are gone now.
Hilarious
What a beautiful memory ❤ I have just 1 videotape with my beautiful mum that passed away at 42 an this tape I have of her live playing tom in the background reminds me so much of her my mum was even the splitting image of Tom ❤ wish we could turn back time x
Epic
If your human, you LOVE Tom Petty. It's that simple people !
Im 66 my favorite of all time greatest ever better than springsteen best ever
Love his music and writing, but i have a hard time with his vocals. So nasaly, almost like he has a constant cold and is about to sneeze at any second.
good to know, noted. Thanks you fellow human, breathing is fun as well
aliens too
No fancy outfits, no barely dressed female dancers parading on stage, no choreographed dance moves, no smoke and mirrors, no autotune, just a man with his guitar, singing his songs that told a story that everyone could relate to, backed by the Heartbreakers. Tom didnt need anything flashy. He was a whole vibe within himself. And his career spanded for 40+ years. He was still selling out arenas. Didn't even have to succumb to playing night clubs. He embraced what true rock n roll was. And his fans were loyal to the end. God i miss this man. 😢
A good example of what real music sounds like.
I can't believe you're gone. Thank you Tom.
"it don't really matter to me, everybody's had to fight to be free" - thank you God for sending us Tom
Amen 🙌🏼
We are certainly fighting to be free at the moment with this stupid lockdown.
@@user-sw2lv3zp6o Never stop fighting for freedom under Creator God and His Son! Where the Spirit of God is - there is LIBERTY! Quarantine only the sick - Not the whole planet!And to Hell with the masks that cut off oxygen and do more harm than good!And decertify the Fraud that put a puppet of Chinese dictators in the WH! Trump won Big Time and we should not be cheated out of OUR country by International Serpents! Don't back down! Everybody's Got To Fight To Be Free and thank God for Tom Petty ! I hope he was allowed into Heaven as he would greatly improve it!
Amen to that. R i p to the great tom petty.
@@pruneclair7christian706 please don’t bring politics into this, we just wanna listen to Tom petty, not hear about trump and covid
Dear God, could we please have Tom Petty back? You could have Justin Bieber instead.
Ah shit 😞 his music is so transcendent - you just reminded me he’s gone 💔
...plus sooooo many others...just to have TP back!?
Take Taylor swift also as part of the deal
Better of take the president of México please I can't stand him
@shermanhiggins6806 " Satan take back cardi b, take back sticky-eye chick whats-her-name. Take back artificial un-intelligent drum machines! 😆 😮
Can't beat the skins like Ginger did! Wow!
Gimme some good ol' Ringo Starr
Ya' Good Job Kanye! shoulda kept yo big mouth shut!
We stuck with faky Perry and
Lost sweet Matthew boy damn!
{Now if that don't get me a suspension of My Right To Freedom of Speech 💬
I don't know what will}
Ain't No Peace When You
Don't Have Freedom
Know Freedom= Know Peace ✌🏼
Damn.... 40-whatever years later and this still hits my soul.... Thanks for it all Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
By all accounts a genuinely decent guy that kicked ass for decades.
thats a pretty good description of TP
That. That’s it.
❤️🇺🇸
@@265hemi7 Respect Bro 575's better, my Daughter learnt to drive in a 383 hemi, I aged 30 years in 30 seconds!! Had to listen to TP for hours after each lesson been 5 years now & I'm still suffering PTSD!! Haha
@@normaneustice1112 you'll recover ! 😀
"Music is the closest thing we havet to magic" Tom Petty
Rice on
Rock on
Heroin is pretty magical too
@@BeerDad69 Those bands were actually God gifted
He himself was magic
"Everybody's had to fight to be free" One of the very best lyrics in rock history. It has so much meaning and truth in many situations in life.
It's sad you have to fight to be free in a free country
@@jackhackman7777 that’s a misinterpretation. You have to fight, metaphorically, for your freedom in all kinds of ways. You’re fighting to be an individual, and the “opponents” are your parents, your community, your peers, your innocence. We all fight this fight; most of us win some, most of us lose some. Growth is struggle.
💯
@@davesistare4250 agreed that's what I meant. It's not simply geopolitics although that's included
Yeah, I think he really planted the flag when he sang that line and it is the aptest expression of rock and roll, in general--and just the way he sings it!... But, the most sententious lyric of the song comes later, in referrence to expriencing unrequited love: "Right now this seems real to you but it's one of those things you gotta feel to be true." The insight surprised me when I first saw it in the lyrics--having not heard it clearly through the songs recording--and told me something of his philosophical nature... You see!! You DON'T have to live like a refugee!
This song is powerful. It can heal a wound and repower a person.
This was my introduction to Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers still love them
Tom Petty was a true southern rocker
I hate that Tom Petty is gone! He was a cool artist! He had that flair about him and his music. His music was like food for the soul. It pierced you right to your core. Petty was a true and unique artist. His music will never die. I thank him for the huge contribution that he made to the music industry. What a legacy that he left! Peace.
Wayyyy cool 😢
He was truly a once-in-a-century kind of person for us all.
@@annettestobb2847 - Yes, he was. Tom was a good type of gritty. I miss him! Peace.
He was stolen away from us too soon, but he could have lived to be 200 and it would have been too soon.
Here here! ✊💙😎
His voice in this is really emotive. Everything about it from the keys to the guitar solo outro is perfect. Spine tingling.
Saw these guys in '81 in Champaign, IL. Boy, I'm getting old.
I strongly encourage people to go through Tom petty’ albums, with and without the heartbreakers, great music
Amen!! Amen!!
❤️🇺🇸
thanks
I am going to do that.
I do vinyl ... which means I've kept everything, accident of fate. I know the recording history all that; my personal view is that every single one of his producers either worked him to death or ripped him off and he just learned ... how to produce music. That kind of intense commitment to one's project/art is incredible.
My favorite music of all time. One of a kind. We miss you Tom.
Another hit that as a kid all I needed was a mirror and my air guitar
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. What a band! And Tom's vocals just knock this one outta the park! RIP Tom we surely do miss you! Gone too early!
It felt that it really was "the day the music died" when we lost him. I was just in complete shock when I found out.
Well said and 1000% true.
I remember the first time I heard this song, I was in a game room when it came on the jukebox. I was blown away and have been a Tom Petty fan since. Rock on Tom!!!!!
I felt like a refugee when I was homeless and after living a couple years off the streets that feeling of being on the run and in hiding is starting to lift .This song has been helping me along the way since as far back as I can remember.
hope all is well
Well good morning. You're awakening....re-awakening .
How old were u when u became "unsheltered'?
Been there for a shorter time but know the feeling nonetheless. Great you made it!
Glad you held on
Refugee was the song that drove the stake through the heart of Disco.
Thank god
First time I saw him perform on tv...I was a jr. In H.S. back un 79...I was instantly in love with him and his music
This song was the first 45 I bought.
Rest in Peace Tom 💔 As soon as I heard the news my instinct was to play this, one of my favorite songs.
Same!
One of the best ones.
JHanSolo97 me too man
Yes - first song I played when I heard the sad news. As I said in another posting, this is THE archetypal rock and roll song.
JHanSolo97 same here
I can't believe it!!! Rest in peace Thomas Earl Petty💔
Barbara Butterfield T.e.p.cool intials.
I really do miss Tom and his awesome music. He was one of the greatest musicians ever 🎶
Absolutely dearly miss Tom Petty, and the band, to this very day!!!!!
He was absolutely a true deity on the guitar. You just don't find people like that anymore.
#TomPetty #TomPettyfan #TomPettyforever
I will always miss Tom and his awesome music 🎶
amen da that
GTA VI trailer got me back on the TP grind🎸🎵😎
Petty is goated, GTA is goated. All around legends
Been a while since I heard Petty in the mainstream Rockstar are straight up epic for showing him homage and bringing him back into the forefront
@@Oakland510hell yeah
2024 anyone?
Yep.
Here I am.
It's on my regular Playlist lol damn straight
Yup
Yep
Tom was a master rhythm guitarist and lyricist . Absolute legend
Your screen name is a lie promoting racism, bigotry and hate. FIFY.
"Tom where did you come up with these songs ? "
"I don't know....they just came to me" - Tom Petty
1999 Storytellers Tom Petty just off heroin in love telling a lot of fibs and a lot of truth, magic, yeah, camoflage but every real artist like him will say the same thing. Amazing.
Then Bryan Adams said Tom, I'm gonna run to you for inspiration lol!
Basicaly he just listened to The Dead Boys - Ain't it fun duh!
I was a full time carer for my dying mother and I didn't get out of the house very much. Sometimes when I got the night off I'd go out and then catch the bus back home from town. Sitting on the backseat of the bus on that one hour ride back I had this track on repeat literally crying all the way back home. Big hearts reach right into you in tough times. Thank you for this profound piece of music.
Hope all is going well with you. Just wanted to say hello.
Powerful song. All the best brother
I was living in bank machines after my parents death and this song saved my life. Best wishes I totally get it.
@@evelynbaron2004 Amen. 🙏
Wow that’s powerful brother
Haulin' down 95 on my way to Fort Pierce from Akron... perfect track!
He is great driving music.
Great band, insane talent, thanks for all the years of your spectacular songs, keep on rocking Tom.........

I did what every great aunt does…..introduced my nephew to TP’s music! Years later ….it’s still one of his favorites! And mine too!
Real talent where has this gone ?
Happy Birthday Tom Petty 🎉😎
Gone but never forgotten
Ah man! I didn't know it was his birthday then. Hope he had a wonderful party up there where he is :)
RIP Tom Petty Taken from us too soon!
My father was the biggest fan of tom petty and the heartbreakers!! I wished that he could be here and embrace this amazing music.1952-2023
Late 70s and 80s just hits different, Tom Petty forever
I love his voice it’s so unique ❤️🙏🏻
R.I.P. Tom Petty. You will be missed. Thank you for the music.
RIP Tom Petty, You will be forever missed!!
In my opinion, Damn the Torpedoes is one of the greatest albums ever. Full of stand out songs that still sound fresh today.
When I heard Tom Petty passed I felt like I got kicked in the gut.
I named my son TOM.
I'm 63 and grew up with this band, lotta great memories
God Bless Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers!!!
1 of a kind , no one can take his place. He was the best
yep me too
May you rest in peace, Tom Petty. You brought near infinite joy to your fans.
Always love Tom Petty's music.
***** Great. I saw Him in an interview he's pretty much down to earth. What you see is what you get.
***** Still is. Now he sports a beard & moustache. But he still looks great. The new album is Awesome. I forget the Title. To be released on the 18th of this month.
Am 19 and this is better then the crap of today. Tom Petty is a legend and this is real music.
Nikorasu Oxendine Then you will love his new album, "The Hypnotic Eye" To be released on September 29th. He says it's back to basics. I've heard 3 tracks, & it is amazing.
***** at least your listening to REAL music with REAL instruments. Not that commercialized rap hiphop crap thats over played and will never be consired classic.
What an absolute gem of a song. It's got everything, the right words and the haunting melody that goes straight to your soul. Miss you Tom, you were a fantastic artist.
Couldn't have said it better....
Fantastic video too. Very well done when videos were a fairly new thing.
I read where someone said that Tom OD'd so what I hate the way rumors go around he was as good a rock and roller As It Gets. Everybody's gotta face the end so I don't believe in anyone's opinion anymore. Miss you Tom
Is the band still touring with a new singer!!!!
I'd gladly go on stage for him and cover his songs and finish every concert he had booked before he passed away just so his fans could hear his music live and the heartbreaker's band play one last time...I miss you Tom...you ALWAYS inspired me in so many ways...thank you..
This was the first rock song I remember loving at age 10 and I still love it just as much if not even more now 43 years later. God bless Tom.
Tom's best song, I remember when he sang this on SNL in 1979
Glenn Marshall I like Don't do me like that a little bit more; but, yes, Refugee is so good!
waiting is ok, but this was his best
Agreed!
RIP Tom
He didn't release this until 1985 i thought
I freaking can't believe he's gone. RIP, and thank you for decades of great music.
katydid26 he’s not dead, just resting his eyes.
This song is a timeless classic! I can never get enough of Tom Petty! He will always be a legend in the world of rockabilly pop music!
~Dutch
I agree 1000000%
…rockabilly? What is rockabilly about Tom Petty?
@@otmqHis unique style of rock combined with country and swing.
~Dutch
*Absolute Masterpiece, RIP Legend*
He's still alive
@@thedudewhoeatspianos Tom is dead, he's been dead since 2017
Great song!
losing Tom was like losing a member of my family. I listened to his music my whole life! My children grew up with him. He went with us on vacation, present at every party. I'm truly grateful for all of his music! So many memories!
bless you ... truth ....
I just had a bit of memory and thought stuff it I'm cranking up some Tom.I forgot how great him and his band was,Rip Tom 👍👍
well Tom was a member of your family
“Sometimes life, will get you down, break your heart, steal your crown.”-Tom petty
Everyone is a refugee of this song.
Tom is a bloody genius
RIP TOM PETTY, YOU WILL LIVE FOREVER THROUGH THE MUSIC
Lost but never forgotten!! Rest in paradise petty
😭😭😭😭😭
Lapd made a mistake. Tom is still alive!
Not really. He may be clinically dead.
Yes lost but never forgotten!!!!
Tom Petty's give the best advice in his songs, made this my life theme song all during my 20's 30's to present!!!! I did get to see him in concert once in Orange County, thank you Tom you contributed to a better life a better world.
I’m here from GTA 6 trailer, this song is a master piece.
Wrong song kid
One of the best Tom Petty songs made!
You're joking right?
Mike Campbell's guitar work is absolutely incredible on this song. Perfectly in the pocket, not too much, not too little!
Mike is the ultimate complimentary lead guitarist. And he wrote the music for this one too. He'll never interfere with the song. His solos and fills are crisp, make a suitable statement and get out. Perfect. He's been my favorite for 4 decades.
Mike Campbell is a fuckin genius also Benmont Tench incredible band. Always gobsmacked when they don't get mentioned. Even 4 yrs after Tom's death people are posting covers; this music is here to stay.
@@johnnyclifford9423 Absolutely!!!!!
@@johnnyclifford9423 The one thing you left out was the close friendship between Mike Campbell and Tom Petty ... his lieutenant sometimes? But his musical experience outside the Heartbreakers was prolific and genius as was the studio work of Benmont Tench etc. No need to go on and on. I was therefore mystified when the reaction to Full Moon Fever happened which is amply explained by everybody now. Who cares, brilliant album.
Mike's work in "Running down a dream" is better.
Tom Petty is timeless. Trends come and go through the years, but back-to-basics rock & roll will always be cool.
best concert. just graduated high school, our group of friends got a few vans and blankets and saw tom petty. beautiful day, I remember smiling so much I had tears in my eyes the whole time.
I cried over Tom Petty like a dear friend had died and I still miss him. ❤
When I listen to this song, so does my neighbourhood.
👍
yep
The louder you play it the better it gets!
Really?? Your whole neighborhood?? Wow!! ✌️❤️🤘
Pinche
Tom may have passed but we can still enjoy this and hus otger songs on here
Bruh Not just Justin Bieber. God can take Beyonce, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Megan Thee Stallion, DC Young Fly, Doja Cat, Billie Ellish, Dua Lupa, Sam Smith, Adele, City Girls, GloRilla, Sexy Redd, Lizzo and all of these new generation artists off this planet and bring back all the old school generation artists back. #LongLiveRockNRoll
So I'm getting my morning coffee, this song pops into my head, and then I get in the car and this song starts playing on the radio... Am I psychic or something?
No, you are just damn lucky 😉
This song is truly magic, some of the experience's I have while the song was playing over the radio would blow your mind and confuse the late great Randi.
Nah. You just like damn good rock.
Don't you love when that happens? Sometimes life can be so randomly synchronistic and it's always a joy!
Definitely, “or something”. 😁
Tom Petty will never die!!! His music has made him immortal!!!! He will never be forgotten therefore he goes on!!!
brian gillman Beautifully stated.
brian gillman this gives me purpose
His dogs will never be ded
Damn right. RIP Tom Petty
YES I believe that this is true.
This takes me straight back to 1979, growing up in New Zealand. It is so evocative of the memory that I am actually reliving that point in time: what each each of my five senses was experiencing as that 12 year-old.
This takes me back to the beginning of MTV… I was in my early teens. I was so intrigued by Tom and his music. He was the master of grabbing your attention with the FIRST line of a song.
"What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing but under my feet the grass is growing." Tom Petty 🔥🔥🔥🎸
R.i.p petty :( im saddened, another legend SO MANY SONGS will carry on forever !!!
his voice was so distinct, you could tell it was from the first note!
Can't believe 40 years passed, since first heard it. Still love it.
Probably my favorite Petty song ever. Gone but not forgotten. We miss you Tom
Lol good for you that you can pick a favorite, because I sure can't. This one is near the top though.
Petty was a legend period 🔥🔥🔥🎸🤟
Put me in a time machine so I can be in the 80’s again.
I know,right ?
The 80's was the best, nothing will beat it, so carefree
I wasn't there in the 80s all I knew was disco was dead. So I missed out ... Madonna was everywhere which drove me back to classical music .....But missed out also on the Dylan tour with the Heartbreakers etc/
Save me a seat
That was not the '80s bro that was The Real Thing
I can still remember when this was brand new on the radio in '79, Tom Petty was iconic!!
Tom is still an icon forever
He truly was legendary...
People like him are so rare...
#TomPetty #TomPettyfan
Same. Hearing this song takes me right back.
A wonderful 80s classic
My brother TOM PETTY WE NEED YOU SO MUCH 😢😢❤
R.I.P. Tom Petty. Your music got me thru some tough times.
Indeed he did👍
Doc Vega yeah but he was hooked on heroin for a while in the late 80s to mid 90s
Doc Vega there are dopey videos by the Illuminati/Spirit Cooking idiots to that effect, about Tom and his daughter.🙄Everybody Who is successful at anything has sold their soul and programmed their children, don’t you know?
I agree. His songs help through tough school times
2Duv4Luv me too....
Tom Petty didn't die, god just wanted a private Tom Petty concert.
Exactly!
good one
How true
Tom was an atheist . . .
Not an atheist anymore
This is a Rock Hit that makes me miss Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers all time😎
I agree with you. Their music is totally awesome.🎶
I miss Tom Petty. He died the same year my wonderful husband died. In fact they passed away a few weeks behind one another. RIP Frankie always loved and always missed..♥️♥️♥️
Tom Petty and your husband are in a better place now.
@@cavemanguy3625 Yes they are. Thank you…

Maybe it was similar to dying of a broken heart? Again, sorry for your loss...

here's the lyrics :
We got somethin', we both know it, we don't talk too much about it
Ain't no real big secret, all the same, somehow we get around it
Listen, it don't really matter to me baby
You believe what you want to believe, you see
You don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon
Honey, it don't make no difference to me, baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free, you see
You don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
No baby you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
Baby we ain't the first
I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned
Right now this seems real to you, but it's
One of those things you gotta feel to be true
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
Who knows maybe you were kidnapped, tied up
Taken away and held for ransom
Honey, it don't really matter to me, baby
Everybody's had to fight to be free, you see
Don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
No you don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
You don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)

Tom petty was just down to earth it showed that he cared about his fans cause he helped keep his music prices where the common man could afford the cost of his music.. Rip
I know. I'm a music buff & I just wanted to be annoying... I'm just a loner dork & music helps. But I knew I read this happened! : www.indystar.com/story/entertainment/music/2017/10/03/tom-petty-indiana-memorable-connections/725016001/.
I grew up about an HR away from Indiana. Wever, close enough. I'm claiming Tom Petty 🤗 bc he's lived everywhere I've lived, kinda. Besides that one part about living on complete opposite ends. Good for him. Bc I heard famous ppl got glass houses. I'd be hiding in those ppls bushes w/ binoculars all the time 🤗. I'm jk. But he made refugees while in the mw. Isn't it ironic.
Right on.
❤️🇺🇸
He insisted on his records being 8.99. He wanted to keep his records affordable. He cared about his fans.
So very true. Tom Petty was a humble man.
When I think of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers..I think of the greats like
Neil Young - Led Zeppelin - Bob Dylan who proved that they were not only capable of continuously making hit songs after hit song but hit records too thru a span of decades.
Truly talented musicians & songwriters. I was born in '90 but i swear my soul '60.
coming from Ukraine, this song hits in a special way
I don’t really get sad over celeb deaths because I’ve lost people I love in real life but only two really make me sad; Tom Petty and Patrick Swayze. 😢😭I’m a child of 70s parents so I grew up to this music and my dad is 63 now and we still have Tom Petty listening parties. He was so great. The 70s were the cool generation. They were just so damn cool.
To me, this is THE archetypal rock and roll song. RIP Tom
Rest easy Tom. I blasted your tracks daily back in Cameroon, Africa. I denied to live like a refugee.
Tom is and always will be my favorite artist. His music hits the soul. R.I.P. Tom, the world will miss you. 😢
I had the honor of seeing him live in Saratoga Spring, NY in 2002. It was magical.
This damn song saved my life. Tom will definitely live forever through his genius.
❤️🇺🇸
Yesterday on Russian ROCK FM radio was amasing program 'bout Tom Petty. Three hours of Heartbreakers and Traveling Wilburys! R.I.P. Tom, your Russian fans will forever remember and love you! Say hello to Roy and George...
Beautifully said. I can only agree.
Cool Name by the way haha
That must have been awesome
❤️🇺🇸
WOW!!!
This is pure medicine for my soul
wow this song still ROCKS.....You were a great singer and person....Rest in peace...
