I met Tom Petty when I was a kid. My dad told me to go say hi to him when he recognized him at a gas station, and that he was the guy who sung this song. I told him I liked his singing. I still remember how big his smile was. I couldn't have been more than 7. Man just seemed like a normal, chill, good guy. RIP Tom.
I've met a few actors back in the 1970s mostly and one thing they like most is when you tell them how much you like their work. Tom's reaction to your son was quite normal. Tom knew that his fans were the reason why he made it big and likely never forgot that.
Ah, the days of playing GTA San Andreas, flying in a Hydra or a Rustler, over the desert skies of Las Venturas with a 6 star wanted level, dog fighting with the military trying to blow you out of the sky with this song playing on K-DST in the background…. Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. Tom Petty and Rockstar have created some wonderful memories for us.
Best song to drive around the like maniac in a little town, drugged out of your mind with a hot half naked surfer girls on your side, knowing youre rich and have a case of whiskey and a bag of coke back in your trunk.
When my 26 year old son was 6, this was his jam! "Play the running down a dream song, Mom." As we drove down on old dirt road, windows down, volume up, sun through the glass, wind in our hair.... Best times ever.
wow im 13 so quite young but when ever we ride to the cottage we lissen to this song and its the best good to know somone else has had the same thing happen
Weird. Why does anybody make comments like this? It used to be a thing to say, but honestly, although I am a "young" (lol) 36 years old, I have found that a ton of the folks my age and younger are down with more classic tunes than maybe any generation before them, and by them I refer to younger Millennials and Gen Z. Remember, my elder chum, there were probably old timers who asked why you were listening to the Beatles instead of listening to Benny Goodman or Scott Joplin. Btw, Joplin rules.
@@PutinHasGiantLadyBoobiesI think the same thing, I have friends who are 22 who have listened to more rock than this guy will listen to in his entire life and they even play in rock bands, as well as older people who neither listen to rock nor like it... It depends on the taste of the person. person at the end
@@PutinHasGiantLadyBoobiesFor example, I am 23 and I spend my time listening to rock and my favorite melody a while ago was Mozart's lacrimosa, as I also listened to Tchaikovsky, he has some simply beautiful songs.

Being a millennial, Grand Theft Auto introduced my to classic rock like this, as I was brought up on traditional country music. I'm so glad we have the internet so we can listen to this whenever we want. Modern charts pop on the radio is unbearable.

I'd be honored if some Petty fans would take a listen to my acoustic keyboard & vocal cover of INTO THE GREAT WIDE OPEN on my YT channel in tribute to one of the purest artists that the USA has ever produced. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thank You Tom, THE LEGEND LIVES ON

In the early 90's myself and a few friends saw tom play in Dublin , we were front stage and sang every song that night and at the end of the evening Tom came over to us and Tipped his Hat and smiled. It was so cool . Rest Easy Mate.
That day..... I will never forget; Tom will forever be the Man whose home o would beg my parents to stop at whenever we went by... I crawled outta my car seat before I was 1 just to dance in the back of the car and ..... Daddy was ALWAYS 👍🏽 RIGHT!
We played this at my dad's funeral last year. He would take us on holiday every year and this was one of the many classics in our driving playlist. Everytime it plays I think of him, and roadtrips.

That is what life is all about running down a dream, fellow your heart, never give up. Chase you dream. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty in dreams. RIP Tom
never heard of him,until i realized i heard his songs like 1000 times without knowing its him. guys a legend,so many years after his death im upset like fuc. rest in peace ,legend.
I've been a fan since I was a kid in the 70's. He created an incredible amount of great music not just with the Heartbreakers, but also solo and with the Traveling Wilburys, the ultimate supergroup.
My MTV days running home from school to turn on the tv, This is where I first met Tom Petty. Here I am a 64 yr old black woman still in love with his music. I'm so sorry his family lost🙏
Would you still love him if you knew he was a flat earther? Thanks for trying to tell me in 1989 Tom, I'm using my bow and arrow right now to type this.
Man I still remember getting back from school, turning on the PS2 and the tv at full volume and start riding a full speed car in the desert in GTA SA. After that, I start seaching all the nice songs from this timeless game. The ending solo and Axl Rose as the K-DST station guy. 😎✊ You are legends folks! 👽👍👍
First time ever seeing this video, had no idea it would be a Winsor McCay tribute so I was pleasantly surprised. Winsor McCay was such an insane early animation figure. He a newspaper cartoonist who's raw talent made him such a solid animator. It's actually crazy how unparalleled his skills were right at the infancy of animated film, he was already decades ahead of Disney.
What? He's dead too? Almost everytime i look for those songs i used to listen in gta sa on the internet the singers always happens that they have passed away :/
Alexandra Miller Still died too soon tho, he was a real musician the world needed someone who plays instruments and writes their own songs, no auto tune performances 😞
Jikary Jack Is it slide guitar? I thought it was, but I watched a live version and the guitarist didn't have a bottle neck, but it sounds so much like slide
Essa música me traz uma sensação diferente. Não só a nostalgia do GTA San Andreas, mas ela tbm fez parte da trilha sonora de um momento estranho da minha vida. Vai ficar marcada pra sempre
The Guitar Solo is STILL one of the most defining for me. One my top 3 Roadtrip songs...It's definitely on loop for 2 or 3 times. My Hats's off to your memory Mr. Petty!
Sparc Mac Nice. Gotta research that The area geographically. For me in the heart of Alberta it would be listening to toms album your gonna get it driving into banff on the west side of the Rocky Mountains. In winter or fall
I just wanted to say thank you Mr. Tom Petty for making life more awesome with your wonderful music. May God bless you and your family too. #riptompetty

I'm a Florida boy, grew up listening Mr. Petty's music. Here to those of us fortunate enough to have grown up here he is an icon. My ex mother in law was attending UF as Tom was playing free concerts in open field areas. As a lead guitarist there's more to these songs than you think. All of them are great. I can't believe he's not with us. One of my favorites.
You do know this video is 100% about flat earth, right? Thanks for trying to tell me way back in 1989 Tom R.I.P. I used to like Tom Petty's music , now I love and admire him as a MAN who tired to do something. This song NOW has a special place for sure.
What I like best about this song is the part they DON'T ever put in a video - "Hello CD Listeners. We've come to the point in this album where those listening on cassette or records will have to stand up, or sit down, and turn over the record, or tape. In fairness to those listeners, we'll now take a few seconds before we begin Side 2. (random farm sounds in background) Thank you, here's Side 2." As a Tom Petty fan who still has original cassettes (hate to say the 8-tracks have all bit the dust, but I did have TP&TH on 8-track) that I still listen to in my vehicle, along with my cds, as well as being a Cultural historian, I've found that Tom was a rare person who found a way to stay popular in all time periods, but also give me historical touchstones in his work that note the era in which he was working at any given time. People today don't even think in terms of albums most of the time, let alone sides to albums, they buy songs - which is why I still buy cds, because most artists still work in terms of albums, and they probably still think in terms of Side 1 and Side 2, too, even if we don't see it. Tom was always aware that he was playing for US, not just for his job. Still have a hard time writing about him in the past tense, not gonna say how many times I had to correct my verbs. I hope he's having a great time on Side 2.
KER is that the same album with a short outtake from a jam, then Tom says "do that again without the singing," then someone else replies in the most country dialect ever, "Ah LAHK the singin'!!"..?
Green Day was the best to do it! In the CD American Idiot most of the songs are continuous Holiday will segwey perfectly into Boulevard of Broken Dreams, from Track 3 to Track 4 smoothly without the song ending....
@@kevingleeson that was "all mixed up" from "let me up I've had enogh". The album with "jamming me" on it. But don't quote me. I remember when I was a little jam face and I heard refugee for the first time and thought ooooh.
back in 1989 at college lunch time.i was driving,windows down, running down a dream blasting out....cool as fuck,tom petty was the man.an absolute legend
Oh, Rock & Roll, so raw, freewheeling and laid back. It can make swing a man in a wheelchair or a full stadium into an unstoppable contagious beat, in this case with likable Tom Petty and his band. You'll be missed Tom.
My 5 year old son is working hard on his reading and numbers and he's doing well. But he knows every word of this song and sings it with me. I'm a success as a dad!
That song was removed from the Playstation 3 version, Xbox 360, Definitive Edition and mobile versions.Only in GTA San Andreas classic can you hear it.
One of my favorite guitar solos of all time. It fits so perfectly with the song. They way the guitar talks with the drums at the beginning of it. And I believe it was a single take right? Just amazing.
I met Tom Petty when I was a kid. My dad told me to go say hi to him when he recognized him at a gas station, and that he was the guy who sung this song. I told him I liked his singing. I still remember how big his smile was. I couldn't have been more than 7. Man just seemed like a normal, chill, good guy. RIP Tom.
Awesome. I was playing this really loud even the truckers we bobbing their heads in traffic. Oh yes indeedy.

That guitar solo should enter UNESCO-s list of intangible cultural heritage.
hell ya
The song it all must be.
I agree, the guitar solo is the best.
Eh. Mike Campbell usually does the same thing. All blues scale. Still love him though.
Fun fact : That end solo was done in ONE TAKE.
Best song for a ride in San Andreas desert
That's awesome!
Best song to drive around the like maniac in a little town, drugged out of your mind with a hot half naked surfer girls on your side, knowing youre rich and have a case of whiskey and a bag of coke back in your trunk.

Sadly the song was removed from GTA SA (Steam) in the last update, same for the android version

Love it. Our kids are lucky to have had such great music from their parents!
I used to listen to this while playing Minecraft.
It was apart of one of my dad's playlists.
Guy has excellent taste in music.
Your boy has good taste. This song is SO good on the road. ^^
All you younger people that are discovering what great music is......we older folks grew up on this

Tom Petty is brilliant, but there’s still plenty of great music around today. And there was already plenty of crap around back in the day.
Still,...the most under-rated guitar solo, in the history of modern rock music.
Love it, too!
What makes you believe it's underrated?
disagree. You're just new "hear" young blood
That guitar solo is one of the BEST! It’s like freedom…like flying.
It just Awesome
That solo still gives me chills
The outro? Fun Fact - it was supposed to just fade after 10-15 seconds, but they just got so into it that they couldn't bear to lose any of it.
That solo is everything I love about rock and metal creatively.
Miaren Crowsdaughter that's cool!!
fucking CHILLS dude, this whole song is just a treasure
Mike Campbell is a genius
RIP Tom Petty. Five years ago today, the world lost one its best singer/song writers. He may be gone, but his music will continue to live on.

LYRICS:
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
The trees went by, me and Del were singin'
Little runaway, I was flyin'
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
Never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
Felt so good like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
And it was always cold, no sunshine
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
Never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put my pedal down to make some time
And there's something good waitin' down this road
And I'm picking up whatever is mine
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
Never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
Never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery
Goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream

What? He's dead too? Almost everytime i look for those songs i used to listen in gta sa on the internet the singers always happens that they have passed away :/
Alexandra Miller Still died too soon tho, he was a real musician the world needed someone who plays instruments and writes their own songs, no auto tune performances 😞
Wow it’s already been 2 years😭
Remember how there was a report he died,they said"wait,no hes alive",then ,"oh....he is dead!"
Tom Petty: an AMERICAN Rock Icon, who American's Love for allowing them to join him, Running Down their Dreams.............Wuh Hoo
I miss when musicians made kick ass animated videos
Looks a bit like the good old scooby doo cartoon
@@yorucorvus Actually it's based on Little Nemo in Slumberland.
A kick ass video for a kick ass song.
@@sdgakatbk I think so to looks just like it
pretty sure the musicians didn't make this animated video
I love y’all who spent time listening to this song in GTA SA while cruising or flying
Literally love you all and God bless ❤️❤️❤️
Be blessed too much love from kenya ❤️❤️
Are u drunk and high too my friend
Also if we ever meet ill buy you beer
I got a word for you hommie: DUST
The guitar solo at the end is one of my favorites
Jikary Jack Is it slide guitar? I thought it was, but I watched a live version and the guitarist didn't have a bottle neck, but it sounds so much like slide
That's Mike Campbell bending strings with noth'in but his fingers.
TMan4You Ah thank you sir, that's some mighty fine bending by Mr. Campbell
Jikary Jack this solo is fucking amazing :3
@@TheJorgedesouza its been 6 years and no one has responded
In the song, Tom sings that he "hit cruise control"..always ahead of his time...
I love this song too but ,cruise control, exist since 1962 but i know what you mean it was not that common at the time
Keep on rockin 🤘🤘🤘
One of the greatest rock and roll songs of all time and I’m always singing along every time I hear it. Miss you Tom Petty 🎸
Dam fine road song. I salute your good taste.
Essa música me traz uma sensação diferente. Não só a nostalgia do GTA San Andreas, mas ela tbm fez parte da trilha sonora de um momento estranho da minha vida. Vai ficar marcada pra sempre
eu te entendo perfeitamente cara, ela teve comigo em muitos momentos
Now it’s in the GTA 6 trailer with one of his more underrated songs.
Bem isso kkkksksk, achei ela pelo GTA Sa
The world has lost another truly gifted artist, but the pantheon in the sky has gained another star. RIP Tom Petty!
The Guitar Solo is STILL one of the most defining for me. One my top 3 Roadtrip songs...It's definitely on loop for 2 or 3 times. My Hats's off to your memory Mr. Petty!
One of the greatest of all time. Rest in peace my man because your music will flow through the centuries.
RIP to a true legend. Always loved your trippy videos, Tom. Thanks for the memories.
Evan T
No confirmation on his death.
He did have some pretty kickass videos.
What a drag...RIP TP

One of the finest pieces of guitar work ever. Mike Campbell is a master of his craft.
Masterful-and so so underrated
@@lexxiebodine1788 very very underrated!!!! He's one of the best to ever pick up a guitar........
True fact!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIP Tom. Hope you're up there with Del singing Little Runaway...
I would give my soul to see that.
No one compares to Tom Petty. No one!
I bet even God taps his foot to this one, timeless classic
"Oh right, that's why I made humans." 👌
You assume that Tom isn't him?
U know he does. Arent we glad He didn't keep music in heaven?
So Thats Why We Have Natural Disasters
U know he does 🎶
Best road trip song ever!
YES! Meant to be played loud in the car.
Ray of light also
ye i guess if you want to get pulled over for speeding.
If I were to redo this video it would have Richard Petty driving Tom Petty around Talledega or Daytona in the Number 43 Superbird.

Does anyone else find this song to be extremely motivating
Omg...perfect explination of how it literally MOTOVATES ME!!

My old teacher showed us this music video he loved Tom Petty, too. This brings back good memories of 5th grade
@IIloehxh
What year did your old teacher turn you on to tom???
how old are you!?
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway
I was flyin'
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
I felt so good like anything was possible
Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppable
It was always cold, no sunshine
Yeah, runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
I rolled on, the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
There's something good waitin' down this road
I'm pickin' up whatever's mine
I'm runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
Runnin' down a dream
Yeah, I'm runnin' down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin' on a mystery, goin' wherever it leads
I'm runnin' down a dream
carlos hernandez velarde thanks for posting the lyrics
carlos hernandez velarde I always thought in the first lyric section he said, "I was supplyin'".
carlos hernandez velarde you are a marvelous guy and i love you.
I've always heard it as "I was sublime"
2 years since he passed, had to come listen.
me to
I miss him :(
Saw him live once
A Genius like no one else
Keep running down that dream, Tom.
I'm a Florida boy, grew up listening Mr. Petty's music. Here to those of us fortunate enough to have grown up here he is an icon. My ex mother in law was attending UF as Tom was playing free concerts in open field areas. As a lead guitarist there's more to these songs than you think. All of them are great. I can't believe he's not with us. One of my favorites.
@cjross7297 I can dig it man. Such a drag. He could make you feel better with any song. !!!!!!!!!
*RIP Tom Petty*
Thanks for the great music.
Woke up, put this video on. Felt energized by the energy of the music. Got on with the day.
that's what I just did!
Better than Coffee
Same
Better with Coffee! ;-)
woke up, this song is playing in my head, found this video. gonna meke some coffee now
Nothing like blasting this through your speakers and pipes blaring on the open highway
Hell no, I'm going to get a speeding ticket driving to this 🙂 .It always makes my right foot heavy.
hells to the yea
Me today on 95 for an hour straight
I cruise these back roads in the desert in southwest Arizona on my Harley with this cranked up. The police?They can't catch me. anyways.
@@terryr_zappa8193 if you're on a Harley , they can catch you.
Mike Campbell is incredible on this song. The solo starting at the 3:12 is so good !!
RIP Tom Petty! Your music inspired me so much. It always made me feel better when I was having a horrible day. You will be missed my friend. Rock on!
The only song that can make me cry with tears of joy. It is almost impossible to put in to words quite how incredible this song is.
Thought I was the only one
Well “said!”
Same!!!
After five years on the east coast... It was time to come home.
lol

Yes,it is my friend
Rock In Peace, Tom. Your music will live forever. This song has a special place in my live and I will always be grateful for all of his music.
You do know this video is 100% about flat earth, right? Thanks for trying to tell me way back in 1989 Tom R.I.P. I used to like Tom Petty's music , now I love and admire him as a MAN who tired to do something. This song NOW has a special place for sure.
What I like best about this song is the part they DON'T ever put in a video - "Hello CD Listeners. We've come to the point in this album where those listening on cassette or records will have to stand up, or sit down, and turn over the record, or tape. In fairness to those listeners, we'll now take a few seconds before we begin Side 2. (random farm sounds in background) Thank you, here's Side 2." As a Tom Petty fan who still has original cassettes (hate to say the 8-tracks have all bit the dust, but I did have TP&TH on 8-track) that I still listen to in my vehicle, along with my cds, as well as being a Cultural historian, I've found that Tom was a rare person who found a way to stay popular in all time periods, but also give me historical touchstones in his work that note the era in which he was working at any given time. People today don't even think in terms of albums most of the time, let alone sides to albums, they buy songs - which is why I still buy cds, because most artists still work in terms of albums, and they probably still think in terms of Side 1 and Side 2, too, even if we don't see it. Tom was always aware that he was playing for US, not just for his job. Still have a hard time writing about him in the past tense, not gonna say how many times I had to correct my verbs. I hope he's having a great time on Side 2.
KER is that the same album with a short outtake from a jam, then Tom says "do that again without the singing," then someone else replies in the most country dialect ever, "Ah LAHK the singin'!!"..?
Green Day was the best to do it! In the CD American Idiot most of the songs are continuous Holiday will segwey perfectly into Boulevard of Broken Dreams, from Track 3 to Track 4 smoothly without the song ending....
@@j.lethal5174 the best of all time in that matter is dark side of the moon

@@kevingleeson that was "all mixed up" from "let me up I've had enogh". The album with "jamming me" on it. But don't quote me. I remember when I was a little jam face and I heard refugee for the first time and thought ooooh.
This will be forever my car song 😖 RIP Tom

One of the greatest rock songs ever! Saw his last concert ever. The next week he was dead. Magnificent guitar riffs.
1989
back in 1989 at college lunch time.i was driving,windows down, running down a dream blasting out....cool as fuck,tom petty was the man.an absolute legend
you're so lucky, dude.. so lucky
The World has lost a genius.
RIP Tom Petty.
R.I.P we took it hard soon as we lost you
Still not over it.
@@BrianBinOR me neither
We went down hard--like Billy the kid
Lived and Died like a Rockstar. Wrote the Soundtrack of our Lives.
I heard you take it hard In general
Oh, Rock & Roll, so raw, freewheeling and laid back. It can make swing a man in a wheelchair or a full stadium into an unstoppable contagious beat, in this case with likable Tom Petty and his band. You'll be missed Tom.
My 5 year old son is working hard on his reading and numbers and he's doing well. But he knows every word of this song and sings it with me. I'm a success as a dad!
Tell him that he needs that reading and numbers to run down his dream.
The world will forever miss the presence of the great Tom Petty. R.I.P.

@JohnieliLP I hope so
@@JohnielLP The song "love is a long road" was used in the trailer so we hope that one and this one at least are gonna be in the game
V rock*
That song was removed from the Playstation 3 version, Xbox 360, Definitive Edition and mobile versions.Only in GTA San Andreas classic can you hear it.
There is no limit on how many times you can listen to this song and never get bored of it.
Hello Vickie, how are you doing today, hope you've a good day 👋😊
Totally
Currently on my 666th listen and no boringness in sight 😎
Amen!
Not to mention numerous others! But yeah, this one is just stands out in many ways.
RIP TOM
U´re listening to K-DST ... *the dust !!!*
-2 number 9s-
MAHABO Productions omg yessssss!
None of that rap crap, word. I got a word for you home, dust
the duuust!
K-DST
A musical genuis. So grateful for the music he made before we lost him.
One of my favorite guitar solos of all time. It fits so perfectly with the song. They way the guitar talks with the drums at the beginning of it. And I believe it was a single take right? Just amazing.
Pretty cool all right.
I dunno, usually those “first/single take” stories are made up to generate hype for the song/album.
R.I.P.
Allie B ...
We all remember him R.I.P
dude.... shut up, that is not funny
Allie B I miss him so much I'm just a little kid and I reall like Tom pety
