I F****** LOVE Tom Petty! he is incredibly talented, writes almost all his lyrics AND music AND sings and plays. So much more talent than many newer artists. This song is so beautiful and the video is so artisitic.
I love Tom Petty video's. While every one else was putting bands in a room with half naked women running about. Here he is with high concept art piece videos. Got love that.
Love this song---sends chills down my spine---coz,I met my filipina wife via dating site, hundreds of pics and profiles. We were to each other then JUST A FACE IN THE CROWD, then life became like, OUT OF A DREAM, I flew halfway arout the world to see her---OUT OF THE SKY---then she was---INTO MY HEART, AND WE WERE JUST, A FACE IN THE CROWD...We lived this song. Married 2 years 2 weeks from today. Thanks Tom, Love Mike & Andresa
Is it just me or does anyone else find this song a little eerie and haunting? It has always had that kind of quality to it, considering the lyrics. The video adds an even more ethereal feel to it.
i just went to go see tom petty on concert on wednesday and he played this song. OMG it was SO INTENSE!!!! it brought tears to my eyes. nothing will ever compare
i couldn't agree more. i feel like the rolling stones recieved more worldwide attention even though petty and the heartbreakers were more consistent. also, petty is so much more of a natural performer than jagger will ever be, no matter how hard he tries.
I heard this song for the first time in Venezuela in 1989........and it reminds of the beautiful young dark haired girl of 19......Damn she blew my mind and my nose.....
Have you heard "Highway Companion"? Jeff Lynne produced that as well. Hell, as far as I remember, he and Tom Petty are the only musicians on the entire disc. It's damn good!
@10Bones01 I believe Petty and the HB's albums are produced by another company which is giving youtube a hard time. This album is solo project by just Tom.
No problem! I have to say, I've loved all of the records he's made since 'Wildflowers'. I'm convinced the guy can't write a bad song! Oh yeah; After looking at the liner notes to 'Highway Companion' again, it seems Mike Campbell is there as well. I knew some of that lead work sounded too much like Mike to NOT be him...
I do have Full Moon Fever, and I absolutely buy the albums I enjoy. I don't steal the music I love because what good does that do for those who created it? I only use youtube at work. At home I have a nice setup with a wall of sound that would melt your face. Be well-
americans should be proud to have an artist like Tom Petty (among a few others who are now dead), because lately music in the USA sucks big time (especially all that rap and sweet pop with brainless teenagers. instead of bombing and sending the youth to war, teach them to Appreciate quality music, and some geography as well!!!
Yeah it is in a way. I always felt like it had an atmosphere of foreboding (look up the word if you're not sure what it means. LOL), like this person he's speaking to was thrown into his life by a tragedy. "Before all of this/Ever went down"
knowing petty though, he probably was sitting at the some crowded cafe with the heartbreakers eating breakfast and suddenly jotted the song down on his napkin. and no one will know how it came to him. not even him. lol
tom petty is a special kind of artist who stays true to his music
you rock my world tom. You seem to write a song for just about every experience and emotion that life has brought my way. you are a gift.thank you.
Tom Petty is the man! I love this song!!! Full Moon Fever is one of his greatest albums ever!!! Love the video.

I think this is my favorite song.
Really hits home.
I love both this song and the video for it--kind of has an ethereal sort of feel to it and all.
Before all of this
Ever went down
in another place
Another town
You were just
A face in the crowd
Brilliant
A face in the crowd one of the best Petty songs and Full moon fever definately one of the best albums.
A great tune with a compelling video. A masterpiece Mr. Petty!
The best song that Tom Petty ever recorded, in my opinion.
into my heart, into my life
And you were just a face in the crowd....
just Awesome....
He's the best. I love him

One of the more over looked classics. Great song.
This video is beautiful, and I love this song! Thanks for posting.
Just love this. Play it on the piano along with him. Chords are easy, but must be played along with Tom.
timeless classic.
great Tom, great song, great vodeo - everything is great!
Is it just me or does anyone else find this song a little eerie and haunting? It has always had that kind of quality to it, considering the lyrics. The video adds an even more ethereal feel to it.
I felt the same in '94 when this was my favourite TP ballad. I met her in '95 in a crowded room.
outstanding song. just spot on. great
Awesome Artist ... Great Chilling Out Music Rock On Petty!!
Nothing petty about Tom's music. Amazing.

I agree this video and song has mood and atmosphere almost like old U2 songs

A True Masterpiece!

chris
From Playback! Sweet!
{Beauty} thanks
This one gets me...
@10Bones01 I believe Petty and the HB's albums are produced by another company which is giving youtube a hard time. This album is solo project by just Tom.
yea its great song, i heard that it was written in opposing the gulf war thingy
It parallels that REM creation singing 'Losing My Religion!..that would not be low life 'transportation presented to you in this man's name!
2:13-2:34. I find that this is one of his best solos. All of Full Moon Fever is a good album.
so good
Same writers, same music. Y'need to stop hating, and start appreciating.
No problem! I have to say, I've loved all of the records he's made since 'Wildflowers'. I'm convinced the guy can't write a bad song!
Oh yeah; After looking at the liner notes to 'Highway Companion' again, it seems Mike Campbell is there as well. I knew some of that lead work sounded too much like Mike to NOT be him...
Mike Campbell is on the Album As well. He is all over:) Yeah great Album.
I do have Full Moon Fever, and I absolutely buy the albums I enjoy. I don't steal the music I love because what good does that do for those who created it? I only use youtube at work. At home I have a nice setup with a wall of sound that would melt your face. Be well-
4. It's good to be King
has tom ever written bad song GOD!!
preciosa cancion.....
stunning video for a beautiful song. was so disappointed it wasn't a hit.
very sorrowful song... may be one of his best.
cool tune by Petty
americans should be proud to have an artist like Tom Petty (among a few others who are now dead), because lately music in the USA sucks big time (especially all that rap and sweet pop with brainless teenagers. instead of bombing and sending the youth to war, teach them to Appreciate quality music, and some geography as well!!!
Lucky!
On 'Highway Companion', the only people who play are Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne, and Mike Campbell.
Yeah it is in a way. I always felt like it had an atmosphere of foreboding (look up the word if you're not sure what it means. LOL), like this person he's speaking to was thrown into his life by a tragedy. "Before all of this/Ever went down"
knowing petty though, he probably was sitting at the some crowded cafe with the heartbreakers eating breakfast and suddenly jotted the song down on his napkin. and no one will know how it came to him. not even him. lol
