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.
Thank you ladies - I did. I bought a boat, sailed out to sea, met a lover, and now I feel free. This song used to bring tears to my eyes, but no longer. It has served its purpose :-)
I’m singing this song in my choir and we are adding our own harmonies to it and I got a solo for it! I’m so excited and it sounds so good so far! Our concert is next week!
It is like walking your soul under a waterfall, washing your cares and troubles away as you lose your minds thoughts in one beautiful stanza after another.
Lyrics You belong among the wildflowers You belong on a boat out at sea Sail away, kill off the hours You belong somewhere you feel free Sail away, go find a lover Go away somewhere bright and new I'd see no other That compares with you You belong among the wildflowers You belong on a boat out at sea You belong with your love on your arm You belong somewhere you feel free 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 You belong among the wildflowers You belong somewhere close to me (close to me) Far away from your trouble and worry You belong somewhere you feel free You belong among the wildflowers You belong somewhere close to me (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.
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.....
This is perfection! Thank you for singing it and dedicating to our Sarah on her 20th birthday. She was grieving the loss of her dad, and you made a memory that will never be forgotten! Thank you, A Grateful Mother
Ohmygosh, I just now found out that Tom Petty wrote Wildflowers. I can't believe it! The Wailin' Jennys is the only version I knew until now. Thank you Tom for writing this beautiful song! (RIP) Thank you TWJ for such a gorgeous cover of Wildflowers!❤
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.
[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
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.

I just found out this song existed after seeing these beautiful signs for sale with the 1st verse. I'd never heard it before, and I love Tom Petty. His songs and his voice make me smile and relax. But The Wailin' Jennies, who I absolutely ADORE, I closed my eyes, inhaled deeply, and felt my soul smile.
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.
My mum and a friend and I are practicing this song. It’s a gorgeous rendition. I just love it. Beautiful, soft, sweet, wonderful voices in harmony and beautiful lyrics. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Noticing that my “Daughter” mentee was getting near to launch, I bumped into this song. It helped me with the emotional release. It is in my feed and I cry each time it comes.
Yes they are "Back" with this new album ! If you love them and you love music at it's best ( Folk/Americana ) then they will rock your world with their amazing vocal harmonies and music ! Gotta have this one too !

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.
Thinking of her…
What a joy you have in the music. :)
Just heard this on some playlist - had to come find it. Lovely.
music is my main reason for living. I'm a huge Deadhead having seen them 178 times
Beautiful... Love this!... Many prayers your way...
So eleven people don't understand music. This is absolutely GORGEOUS. Tom is smiling.
50 people now, unfortunately
@@justabunchofatoms1944 I don't understand that attitude. If I am clicking on a song and I don't like it, I just move along.
Not everyone has great taste. This song is musical genius. Everything is absolutely perfect.
Zero people now, turns out you were right. You and Tom
Best rendition of this song I've heard yet.
This is the type of music we all need to sit down, disconnect, and listen to.
I am doing this as we soeak
Thank you ladies - I did. I bought a boat, sailed out to sea, met a lover, and now I feel free. This song used to bring tears to my eyes, but no longer. It has served its purpose :-)

They are so good it hurts. Revisits never fail to impress.
It is like walking your soul under a waterfall, washing your cares and troubles away as you lose your minds thoughts in one beautiful stanza after another.
Well put!!!❤
I used to sing this song to my baby girl. She's 20 now and this? Wow. Tom is smiling
Lyrics
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong on a boat out at sea
Sail away, kill off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free
Sail away, go find a lover
Go away somewhere bright and new
I'd see no other
That compares with you
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong on a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free
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
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me (close to me)
Far away from your trouble and worry
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me (somewhere close to me)
Far away from your trouble and worry
You belong somewhere you feel free
You belong somewhere you feel free

the dream is a good one, but you still can't rely on the girl turning up. Start with the rest and see where it leads you!
Tom Clarke Well said!!!!
suck it up!
I heard it yesterday. I had a similar background story when the song came on. May you be free ☺ even if it's only 3min43sec worth of freedom.
lostintashkent like I said, my intent is to find that girl. Not wait around.
The harmony and heart here is stunningly beautiful. Yes, indeed, Tom Petty would love to hear this version. RIP Tom 💖
2:16 is when the harmony hits goosebump levels I think
One of those instances where the cover is better than the original. Up there with Cash's "Hurt" and Hendrix's "All Along the Watchtower".
I think Tom Petty approves. 🌻
I know I do.
Simply beautiful.

What a beautiful tribute. I think Tom would agree, this is how the song was meant to sound

Just overheard this cover... Oh my goodness, it brought me to tears, happy tears, so stunning . Bravo 👏👏👏
Definitely my new favorite. Rip Tom, and thanks, Dad, for sending me this today from your sail away place ❤️

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

Such lovely, clean open harmonies: so many different voicings. Man!
I just found out this song existed after seeing these beautiful signs for sale with the 1st verse. I'd never heard it before, and I love Tom Petty. His songs and his voice make me smile and relax. But The Wailin' Jennies, who I absolutely ADORE, I closed my eyes, inhaled deeply, and felt my soul smile.
Just beautiful! Liquid sunshine pouring down cleansing and refreshing and serene. Deepest gratitude for this magnificent gift.
Lovely. Great to hear these voices again, in gorgeous harmony.
So good to have the Jennys back. Love this...

My mum and a friend and I are practicing this song. It’s a gorgeous rendition. I just love it. Beautiful, soft, sweet, wonderful voices in harmony and beautiful lyrics. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Beautiful! Takes me back to the days of the Carter Family; sweet, clear voices in perfect harmony! Thank you.
Love it. One of the best covers I ever heard.
Can't really think of any other band who could do this Tom Petty classic Justice.
You’re still a bad dude, Corn Pop.
Beautiful xxoo These women have voices of the angels xxoo Blessings to all who listen to this song too
Noticing that my “Daughter” mentee was getting near to launch, I bumped into this song. It helped me with the emotional release. It is in my feed and I cry each time it comes.
It helped me too.
Thank you, Jennys, for making my day brighter!
This is one of the groups who made me realise I was already a fan of this music before it was called Americana.
I wish I could hit the 'like' button a billion times
This is so beautiful! It makes my soul happy to listel to this.
Gänsehaut ❤️ so ein schönes Lied.
Leider erst sehr spät durch Instagram entdeckt. Aber dafür genieße ich es jz umso mehr.
Yes they are "Back" with this new album ! If you love them and you love music at it's best ( Folk/Americana ) then they will rock your world with their amazing vocal harmonies and music ! Gotta have this one too !
❤sent this to my daughter when she turned 18. It said all I couldn't...and more.
Thank you for touching our souls

Beautiful song. I listen to Every Morning. Do remember my mother who is now with Jesus.❤
Welcome back, I am one of those who were waiting
2022 Still amazing ❤️
Is there a more beautiful sound than three in perfect harmony?❤
They nailed this cover.
I've never heard this song or the wailing Jane's. I have a new favorite song I'll be playing repeatedly and new band to listen too
This is great music.
Beautifully done.
