A few months before my son was killed in a car accident, he played this song for me. I will always hold it closely, as a gift, and a promise that there's something beyond this 'form' we are stuck in. Jerry August Warfel, I will always be your Mama, you will always be my Son. Thank you, Tom Petty.
@@stewpitteejit He said he was reluctant to release won't back down because no metaphor to hide behind. But it became the most powerful emblem of his integrity as a man and a a musician. The most obvious one. Great that someone is listening to amazing music ...
Man. This song breaks my heart. It breaks my heart in the way where it breaks wide open and light shines out. Longing is surely one of the most powerful human experiences, and this song is bursting with longing. Being alive necessarily puts us in touch with pain and sufferings, and I think part of our souls knows we were made for better, and so we long for it. Hence, there’s something good coming, there HAS to be.
Kevin Howes I'm sure TP appreciates Mike. He is clearly the most underrated lead guitarist ever. He is a Master, and never grabbing the spotlight for too long. He & Petty are like twins really.
Mike is a great guitarist! Love all the music they make. Actually they are all talented! Can't wait to hear them in concert this year! Just learning about all their music, and never went to a concert before!!
So sorry for your loss. So many are suffering and I can feel in my core all of the pain throughout the world. Comfort is only found when I can cry out to God, as I did when my brother passed. The only thing I could think to do was kneel and pray and as I looked up, in front of me was Teddy and my Lord telling me everything was going to be all right. It's been almost 40 years and my faith in God is as strong as it never was before. We are going through a lot now & will go through even more, with our very best as humanly possible just right around the corner. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
I don't listen to this very often cause I can't listen without crying. The comments are what I would say to. He made each song feel like it was written with you in mind. How he made you feel like you knew him and he was a friend.♥️
That was Tom's beautiful gift to the world and his spirt lives on through everyone of us who ❤️ love him for not only his music but for the sweet down to earth soul he was.
He s a great miss to the music world and his fans ... A great singer writer who s music like many greats came from his heart , a sad lose to all who appreciate talent n honesty ! Tom Petty lives on through his music... RIP Tom with the other great artist s we've known and lost over the years but never forgotten ....
My mother passed away after 10 years battle with cancer. She was retired short time durring cancer treatment (Never caught a break). Remember her face when she was back from doctor. Mother told me "my son they dont have any help for me any more" I just remember her sad and full of thinking face (I know that look on your face)... Miss you mama but i know....There’s somethin’ good comin’ For you and me Somethin’ good comin’ There has to be sorry for my english
Reach... Your English is perfect. Your post touched me. We are so blessed to have (or have had) the loving, real ones near! Tom is always near, just like the spark....💞🌎💖🕊️
How can this be? I never knew about Tom Petty until after he died. But now that I've learned about him and his wonderful music, I really do miss him. I never met him but I truly miss him.
He was my dude. Got me through some tough times and made me think about better decisions to be made. Not this song in particular, but his WHOLE catalog . Always had me looking ahead to better times that COULD be.
Ive never seen a songwriter who could take four chords and make a song sound fresh and new without becoming monotonous like Tom Petty. His songs were so simple, but, the lyrics were so meaningful. He never had to make a song complicated just to get his point across. RIP Tom.
I think this sums up Tom Petty 's legacy. He was and is a superb musician, poet, and human being. Thank God he shared his music with us. it was beauty and light. I miss his light.
Always leaves me speechless to listen to these guys. It’s like time travel when music was still music and musicians where humble, had a message and helped us to get through difficult times.
Heartbreaking. A man holding out Hope against all Hope, trying to save his courage to get up each morning and rise up again; broken childhood memories, "defeated" in his heart yet his Faith faileth not; Faith is all that we have, Faith and Hope; sometimes the best of both are not quite enough to save us from the Jaws of Life... Petty was Masterful in all of his ways...
Tom, you have no idea how you have shaped me into the woman I am today. You have pulled me out of the darkest times in my life and your music has changed me. You are a legend and now an angel as well. RIP Tom Petty
give some thought to his widow Dana who walked out of the machinery after a lot of crappy behaviour from Rick Rubin Dave Stewart his older daughter Adria disgusts me. But yes I know how you feel. Great comment.
River Lynch I’ve seen Tom Petty over 12 times here in Wisconsin and now that he’s gone, I wish I would’ve seen him when came to the Chicago area which wasn’t all that far from...
WOWWW , JUST WOWW !!! CHILLS AND TEARS !!! She was trying to tell you that she is alright after she left her temporary home on earth to go Home with Jesus 🙏🙏🙏 Thank You for sharing , God Bless you and your Mom 🙏💖
Toronto August 2020 , yes. I lost my sense of humour temporarily -- then rediscovered Tom Waits. Listen to Well I hope I don't Fall in Love with You, laugh and cry.
Other artists could have based their entire careers on this one superb song. And yet Tom Petty has dozens and dozens of songs of this caliber. That is a testament to his songwriting ability. Absolutely gorgeous and powerful music. And let's not forget the controlled mastery of the Heartbreakers as musicians. They shine on this song. Stunning.
Mike sang this at Tom's 70th birthday bash...look it up on TH-cam.. . You'll be so glad. Belmont played American Girl first, then Mike played this ...look up Tom Petty 70th bash and scroll until you find these 2 friends honoring Tom...so worth it...
I never thought the death of a public figure would affect me so deeply .. Tom and Robin Williams in different ways were the most emotionally honest people ...
Having a Mike Campbell as your Wingman must make a man like Tom stand in comfort knowing he found the pot of gold 40+ yrs ago. Then to add Benmont and Ron plus the solid heart beat of Steve would make me feel I reached completeness in this life! Long live Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers
I was be wrong if I didn't mention the late Howie Epstein and former drummer Stan Lynch, both big contributors during the life of the Heartbreaker band.
ehh Stan was good but couldn't except Tom when his vibe was changing and he was with the wilburys. Tom had to threaten to bring Ringo in to play a benefit for the viper room cause he lived in fla. Brian had a great way with the band. Tom really liked his vocals in background.
I'll politely have to disagree. I listen to Stan's play. He was with them when they cut some great songs. Ionine didn't like him, felt he was the weak link. I found Stan to be a fine drummer, not taking away from what Steve has done since Stan's departure. That all said, I don't know Stan or any of them for that matte personally, and therefore give just what my ears enjoyed in Stan. I'm sure personalities also came into play. Epstein unfortunately had a heroin issue that sadly got the best of him.
I have to say...that this is possibly one of his very best songs, in my opinion. It is not full of flashy words, but sends a message that many of us look or hope for. I love the casual and acoustic presentation of the video.
I absolutely agree. I love this song soooooo much. May just be my favorite. I love all of his ballads anyway.....he just had a way with those words. Oh boy, did he ever....
Gotta be honest...this song is getting me through some incredibly tough things that are going on in my life at this time. Thanks Tom, wherever you may be.
It’s so nice to see how Tom Petty mellowed over the years. on this video, Tom is wearing a cross. He singing about heaven and that longing for it. Something good coming for you and me. Rip brother. Something good coming over the hill. Luv ya Tom.
"And I'm thinking about mama And about the kids And the way we lived And the things we did" is an obvious reference to his ex-wife Jane Benyo (without mentioning her by name) and as well as his 2 daughters. Tom followed his passions (music and song-writing) but was definitely not there for this wife nor family while they were growing up. He has admitted this. A musical genius but a flawed human. These 4 verses are a window in his heart/soul and the remorse and loneliness he felt upon ending a 20 yr marriage to his high school sweetheart. I recently re-discovered this song-haunting in it's beauty, sad but still hopeful-think he's talking to his future wife., Dana.
I was in my mid-teens when I heard Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers hit the airwaves. Being a 16 year old with no life experience, I simply thought, "What cool music". After hitting 30, I truly started to appreciate the words he wrote. Here I'm now 58 and beyond the appreciation of his lyric, I have an absolute understanding and can fully appreciate his words so much more. That's one thing about music, our perception and understanding of it changes right along with our perception of the world and the different points we find ourselves in our lives. I can listen to a song I haven't heard in decades and it feels like I'm hearing it for the first time all due to my vantage point and perception the older I get. And I believe that most of us have grown souls that can be more easily touched...….another perk for growing older!
Two different generations you and I but similar timelines. I'm 35 now and have been listening to Tom's music since before I was maybe 13 or 14. I also thought oh what cool music. Now in my 30's starting a family and the way I listen now is nowhere near how I listened to music then.
Wherever I go, whatever I’m doing, I come back to this song. Such a wonderful but sad song. RIP Tom. You kept us happy listening to your music in one of the toughest times in our lives as youth in a distant land...
One less Wilbury... Tom Petty got me through every heartbreak. He wasn't just producing good songs in his last years, he was still producing great albums. We are so lucky to have his songs.
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I can't say why exactly....but at the same time it gives me a shred of hope. Thank you, Tom and Co..... And thank you to those people in my last that this song brings to mind. Wish you were here. Wish things could be different.
Everyone has that Tom Petty song....that moment...when you swear he knew exactly who you were and wrote the song just for you. This is mine. Thank you Tom. RIP.
I think there is a line in every single Tom Petty that either describes my life perfectly, describes something I want in my life, or expresses gratitude for what I have. His music is the soundtrack of my life. I'm not religious and don't want a funeral, but depending on how long I live I'd prefer a raucous drunken party. I'm 62 now so if I go soon I hope the booze flows freely and Petty is the soundtrack to my last party. I'm grateful I never met him because his music means so much to me that I fear if he was tired and in a rush and blew off of I somehow didn't connect with him personally I'd lose his music. There is nothing on this earth that would make me give up my connection to his music. It lives in my soul and it feels like he was sent here to earth to write this for all of us. My gratitude knows no bounds.
I missed the 70s and the 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time . Life was much easier , and everyone enjoyed life , do you love this beautiful songs?
There's something lucky, about this song. I don't really know much about music video production, but the sound of this song, through my old stereo, is magic. So rich and warm.
Tom was one of the last, great songsters of his time. The band still recorded live, whenever possible, Tom wrote his own songs and there were no gimmicks. There were no backing tracks, beginning a song on live performance, no auto-tune - just, basically, acoustic and electric guitar, keyboard, percussion, harmonica and voice. Honest songs about simple people - they don't make 'em like this anymore - he went down swingin'.
I played this song for my little sister about 4 years !! It haunted me and I could see her in my thoughts .SHE PASSED AWAY Last month , from a MASSIVE STROKE ! Leaving 6 kids and 1 ,,3 month old grandbaby .IT HURTS , IT HURTS,,so bad I never thought I WOULD LOSE HER !! She NEVER EVER SAID ..NO , to anyone, so selfless, such a great sister .I MISS YOU BABY SISTER ,,till we meet again I well think of you everyday and Grieve u till my dieing day ♥️ Thank you Tom
Just beautiful. First time hearing this song. Mike Campbell, as always, is a dream on the guitar. These musicians work so beautifully together. Wonderful piece.
Mike Campbell makes Magic of his own just as powerful as Tom's. W/out Mike Tom would not have been near as powerful.... He's a Legend equal to Bob Weir. Being the 2nd has its perks. 😎
I could die listening to this - and everything would be alright! thanks Tom for the magic you put into this world! whithout it I'd never been able to survive. miss you so much!
I JUST SEID THAT TO MY SELF. 15 MINUTES AGO LISTENING TO.SHES A WOMEN IN LOVE. AND JUST GOT THE CHILKS AGAIN ABOUT 1.MINUTE BEFORE THE END OG THIS SONG. JUST AFTER I READ 4 OR 5.POSTS THEN SA W YOURS. AND SEID WOW. I.WAS JUST THINKING THAT 1 MINUTE BEFIRE
I was born nearly two weeks after Tom Petty . I had my heart attack at 64 . induced coma 3 months in the hospital. they give you a dozen tablets including statins. 1 year later I threw the pills into the garbage and switched to strawberries , blueberries, and red grapes and now running again, doing pullups and surfing. kept falling off the surfboard due to the coma and trauma. You have to learn to hop an inch again in the ward. it takes a couple of years ...But since I dumped those pharmaceutical /statins. life is good . I was lucky . Its so sad about Tom but hell, we have all his amazing songs... Forever.
my 3 boys lost their mother in a horrible incident. I play, sing, and dance to this song with them when I can!!! Petty touched more lives than he will ever know! we didn't do him his justice on his greatness if we don't let our Littles know about the amazing poetry he wrote!
Went to visit my adult son a week ago listening to this song- made me think of my recently deceased mom when Tom says, " I've been thnkin' bout momma , how she never caught a break " - I swear I broke down into tears. I'll miss you Tom just like I miss my own mom dearly. Thanks for the heart wrenching music through the years- it's truly healing. Rest in peace. Paul.
I can't stop watching this video! It's my hope that something good is coming in this worst of all years! The previous years haven't been so kind either. Lost my best friend and my wife within a year of each other but it's my hope that something good is coming!
I tried to do a incredibly bad thing & now wake up, I always wanted to go out listening to Wildflowers but in that moment with my head underwater this song came on in the moment I needed it the most. It's been my all time favorite song for a long time, I'm not very superstitious but I believe firmly Tom Petty.. having not knowing me had helped me come go my senses, when I felt nothing and wanted to end it all he came on and reminded me that there's a long road ahead, that there's a man that loves me at home and if I did this he'd be without me. He'd suffer without me, he wouldn't have me when he needed me the most.
TH-cam needs to enact the ability to like songs this good more than once. Every time I watch this I want to give Tom another thumbs up, he's a legend and evokes emotion through music like no other.
Tom Petty is the single best classic star alive today. I'd rather see Petty w/ the Heartbreakers over any of his peers. Petty is the only one who has gotten better with age.
I so agree with you. I realized his talent a bit late though, as in 40 years. Saw his concert in June, and I was hooked. Got into his music..........then sadly, October came. Still listening though, and growing in appreciation for his wonderful talent and fabulous band.
Am I the only one still grieving daily for this sweet talented stubborn musical genius. He has my heart wide open and bleeding. A year later I am still in tears over this loss!
I missed the 70s and the 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time . Life was much easier , and everyone enjoyed life , do you love this beautiful songs?
A few months before my son was killed in a car accident, he played this song for me. I will always hold it closely, as a gift, and a promise that there's something beyond this 'form' we are stuck in. Jerry August Warfel, I will always be your Mama, you will always be my Son. Thank you, Tom Petty.
Thoughts and prayers buddy.
Thoughts and prayers. So glad you had a chance to share this song with him.
Here's to u and your son. A great legacy. I send u a huge hug from England.
amen
Blessings.....
FACT: Tom Petty never made a bad song.
tRUEL.
CORRECT
I have to say he made more great songs then anyone
Tom said himself in interviews there were a couple he regretted releasing.
@@stewpitteejit He said he was reluctant to release won't back down because no metaphor to hide behind. But it became the most powerful emblem of his integrity as a man and a a musician. The most obvious one. Great that someone is listening to amazing music ...
Man. This song breaks my heart. It breaks my heart in the way where it breaks wide open and light shines out. Longing is surely one of the most powerful human experiences, and this song is bursting with longing.

Lovely thoughts. I agree. Thank you.
You make magic out of words!🎉🪄 I'm screenshot in this so I can reread whenever I want, thank you for sharing you gift
Something good sure happened the day Tom Petty was born.
I agree.
Songs like this are the reason Tom Petty will live forever. Period.
😮
he sure can put a song together...
Period .
Indeed!
Just goes to show you got something to say you need to say it .Dump trump!!
Look at Mike. Even in a mellow song, he is all over the neck and doesn't steal the show. He is the most under appreciated guitar player.
Kevin Howes I'm sure TP appreciates Mike. He is clearly the most underrated lead guitarist ever. He is a Master, and never grabbing the spotlight for too long.
He & Petty are like twins really.
Kevin Howes He is smooth as silk, warm butter on toast 👍. I just wish there were a lot more videos of him out there.
Mike is a great guitarist! Love all the music they make. Actually they are all talented! Can't wait to hear them in concert this year! Just learning about all their music, and never went to a concert before!!
I couldn't agree more! quiet genuis
Kevin Howes You are absolutely right.
My father died yesterday. This and Skynyrds 'simpl man' are on repeat.
Nothing wrong with shedding tears for those we miss. Luv you Tom
Just lost my Dad last month.
So sorry for your loss. So many are suffering and I can feel in my core all of the pain throughout the world. Comfort is only found when I can cry out to God, as I did when my brother passed.

It’s been a year but I’m so sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry for your heartbreak 💔
I don't listen to this very often cause I can't listen without crying. The comments are what I would say to. He made each song feel like it was written with you in mind. How he made you feel like you knew him and he was a friend.♥️
Just singing along with him get choked up halfway through
That was Tom's beautiful gift to the world and his spirt lives on through everyone of us who ❤️ love him for not only his music but for the sweet down to earth soul he was.
Same. My heart aches when I hear this song. Shared it with my older brother.
Still hurts that’s fact

Just lost my Dad to cancer in three short months. He was the love of my life.
I am sending u an English hug for u and your family. Tough times don't last but tough people do. And yes something gd coming
Reach... Your English is perfect. Your post touched me. We are so blessed to have (or have had) the loving, real ones near! Tom is always near, just like the spark....💞🌎💖🕊️
How can this be? I never knew about Tom Petty until after he died. But now that I've learned about him and his wonderful music, I really do miss him. I never met him but I truly miss him.
they only played Mary Jane and I dismissed him based on that.. now I wish he was back to make more music, each distinct, each a melody
Beautifully said.
Always & Forever a lover of this Beautiful Souls Music !!! Rip Tom 🎶🕊️🙏✨✌️🥰♥️♥️♥️😘
It’s ok. You are here now! That’s what matters 😎🇺🇸

this song was unusually autobiographical and all the more moving for it. Great comment,
you said it perfectly - took the words out of my mind, thought that quite often of Tom. thanks
I think this sums up Tom Petty 's legacy. He was and is a superb musician, poet, and human being. Thank God he shared his music with us. it was beauty and light. I miss his light.
His light shines on...
Beautiful Waterfall, do you know that he's still alive too. Hoping it's revealed in the month of his birthday, maybe even on his birthday in October.
I miss his light also
tx Dennis. This was I thought one of the rare songs he wrote with intention for Dana his second wife. Much appreciated comment.
Tx for comment! My Dad is gone and I dream about the 2 of them in the stars above with their dogs.
Always leaves me speechless to listen to these guys. It’s like time travel when music was still music and musicians where humble, had a message and helped us to get through difficult times.
Amen!
Your message only serves to divide.
Damn kids and their new music...
Heartbreaking. A man holding out Hope against all Hope, trying to save his courage to get up each morning and rise up again; broken childhood memories, "defeated" in his heart yet his Faith faileth not; Faith is all that we have, Faith and Hope; sometimes the best of both are not quite enough to save us from the Jaws of Life... Petty was Masterful in all of his ways...
I miss Tom. There is a terrible void in the world.
He is Playing very powerful music above ! with soooo many greats ...Eternal Maestro with Heart True to the Core ...
So true
Tom, you have no idea how you have shaped me into the woman I am today. You have pulled me out of the darkest times in my life and your music has changed me. You are a legend and now an angel as well. RIP Tom Petty
give some thought to his widow Dana who walked out of the machinery after a lot of crappy behaviour from Rick Rubin Dave Stewart his older daughter Adria disgusts me. But yes I know how you feel. Great comment.
Right on
My heart is just broken knowing he is no longer with us
River Lynch word. :(
After watching this I realize he's still here with us......
River Lynch I’ve seen Tom Petty over 12 times here in Wisconsin and now that he’s gone, I wish I would’ve seen him when came to the Chicago area which wasn’t all that far from...
So is mine River!!!!!

This man has saved me in more ways than one will know. Miss him tremendously. He deserved more years of life for all he has given us.
going through it now, tom petty will always be someone that made me
Fentanyl killed him. Think of that when you think of the southern border.
I cried and cried for months after he died. He was the best. Such awesome songs. Almost everyone can relate to the feelings ❤
It's hard to even think about a world without out tom petty 😢

This song is amazingly reminiscent of our family. How could he have known? A songwriter to his core, the world has lost so much with his passing. 💔
Gotta be honest...this song is getting me through some incredibly tough things that are going on in my life at this time. Thanks Tom, wherever you may be.
Hope you're beyond it now, Kate
I love that Mike has chosen this song to pay tribute to his friend. I'm choking up right now. Thanks, Mike.

But this is a great song.
I just hope he's with his mama, who he's clearly been missing all of these years. Thanks for the beautiful music, Tom ❤

And the things we did"
is an obvious reference to his ex-wife Jane Benyo (without mentioning her by name) and as well as his 2 daughters. Tom followed his passions (music and song-writing) but was definitely not there for this wife nor family while they were growing up. He has admitted this. A musical genius but a flawed human. These 4 verses are a window in his heart/soul and the remorse and loneliness he felt upon ending a 20 yr marriage to his high school sweetheart. I recently re-discovered this song-haunting in it's beauty, sad but still hopeful-think he's talking to his future wife., Dana.
I'll bet he is with his mama, and well deserved.
What a talent, sadly gone and still missed It's been 5 years now. I love his music even more now
Just a great rolling tune. Love on. L'chaim.
A moment here .. for what he said.
I was in my mid-teens when I heard Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers hit the airwaves. Being a 16 year old with no life experience, I simply thought, "What cool music". After hitting 30, I truly started to appreciate the words he wrote. Here I'm now 58 and beyond the appreciation of his lyric, I have an absolute understanding and can fully appreciate his words so much more. That's one thing about music, our perception and understanding of it changes right along with our perception of the world and the different points we find ourselves in our lives. I can listen to a song I haven't heard in decades and it feels like I'm hearing it for the first time all due to my vantage point and perception the older I get. And I believe that most of us have grown souls that can be more easily touched...….another perk for growing older!
I'm 59. I totally agree with You.
U put it beautifully
Profoundy perfect. Also, apply what you said to the artist's evolution. Especially this band.
I would say, that, is something good comin.
Two different generations you and I but similar timelines. I'm 35 now and have been listening to Tom's music since before I was maybe 13 or 14. I also thought oh what cool music. Now in my 30's starting a family and the way I listen now is nowhere near how I listened to music then.
Wherever I go, whatever I’m doing, I come back to this song. Such a wonderful but sad song. RIP Tom. You kept us happy listening to your music in one of the toughest times in our lives as youth in a distant land...
This is so beautiful. The world misses you....RIP
One less Wilbury... Tom Petty got me through every heartbreak. He wasn't just producing good songs in his last years, he was still producing great albums. We are so lucky to have his songs.
Me too, but not just the heartbreaks, the joys and challenges too!
Only Jeff and Bob left and BOB "left": his fans 50 years ago...so just ONE Wilbury really left...JEFF
Actually Nicole "FOUR" less Wilburys..Roy, Del, George and Tom
This song brings me to tears every time I hear it. I can't say why exactly....but at the same time it gives me a shred of hope.
Thank you, Tom and Co.....
And thank you to those people in my last that this song brings to mind.
Wish you were here. Wish things could be different.
This album reinforces how great the Heartbreakers are. Mike Campbell is a guitar god.
"There's something good coming just over the hill, there's something good coming, I know it will."
Indeed he is!!
What's the name of this album?

Everyone has that Tom Petty song....that moment...when you swear he knew exactly who you were and wrote the song just for you. This is mine. Thank you Tom. RIP.
mine is Walls.
He wrote this for me, I know he did
Ahh damn it. Miss you bunch Mr. Tom Petty.
This is a masterpiece.
I thought Tom would be like Willie...playing at 90 and not looking back.
In 1991 tom petty changed my life just like janis Joplin did in the 80s. I will never forget them.
Now I realize it. He won't come back. And when it comes to good music… there's nothing good coming like this anymore. Sad day.
One of the most powerful songs I have ever heard in 68 years
Something good comin’
Sure miss Tom Petty
miss you so much
I so too. So thankful for him and his wonderful music!
Just Great
This song speaks to my soul. In this time of loss and my desperate search for hope this song makes sense.
Classic Tom Petty
I think there is a line in every single Tom Petty that either describes my life perfectly, describes something I want in my life, or expresses gratitude for what I have. His music is the soundtrack of my life. I'm not religious and don't want a funeral, but depending on how long I live I'd prefer a raucous drunken party. I'm 62 now so if I go soon I hope the booze flows freely and Petty is the soundtrack to my last party. I'm grateful I never met him because his music means so much to me that I fear if he was tired and in a rush and blew off of I somehow didn't connect with him personally I'd lose his music. There is nothing on this earth that would make me give up my connection to his music. It lives in my soul and it feels like he was sent here to earth to write this for all of us. My gratitude knows no bounds.
I'm 61 and feel the same way. In the words of the great Abraham Lincoln in that great cult classic Bill&Ted's E.A.: "Party on Dudes!!"
Good grief...I miss the hell out of Tom Petty. Your death broke my heart, because you touched it!
I missed the 70s and the 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time . Life was much easier , and everyone enjoyed life , do you love this beautiful songs?
Every song he wrote is a masterpiece! It’s good to be king somewhere in heaven! RIP maestro!
There's something lucky, about this song. I don't really know much about music video production, but the sound of this song, through my old stereo, is magic. So rich and warm.
amazing ❤
My mother passed away this week and Tom helped me through it all with songs like this...Thanks Tom
Tom was one of the last, great songsters of his time. The band still recorded live, whenever possible, Tom wrote his own songs and there were no gimmicks. There were no backing tracks, beginning a song on live performance, no auto-tune - just, basically, acoustic and electric guitar, keyboard, percussion, harmonica and voice.
Honest songs about simple people - they don't make 'em like this anymore - he went down swingin'.
I played this song for my little sister about 4 years !! It haunted me and I could see her in my thoughts .SHE PASSED AWAY Last month , from a MASSIVE STROKE ! Leaving 6 kids and 1 ,,3 month old grandbaby .IT HURTS , IT HURTS,,so bad I never thought I WOULD LOSE HER !! She NEVER EVER SAID ..NO , to anyone, so selfless, such a great sister .I MISS YOU BABY SISTER ,,till we meet again I well think of you everyday and Grieve u till my dieing day ♥️ Thank you Tom
It's like they're all looking at each other and saying damn we got old and we're still good
Beautiful song. Mike Campbell's soulful playing is beyond words and Tom's singing too.
Just beautiful. First time hearing this song. Mike Campbell, as always, is a dream on the guitar. These musicians work so beautifully together. Wonderful piece.
The way we lived the things we did and how we paid for our big mistakes
Mike Campbell makes Magic of his own just as powerful as Tom's. W/out Mike Tom would not have been near as powerful.... He's a Legend equal to Bob Weir. Being the 2nd has its perks. 😎
Mike is and was one of the best ever, it’s just to bad that he and Tom didn’t get to finish what they started...✌️
I could die listening to this - and everything would be alright! thanks Tom for the magic you put into this world! whithout it I'd never been able to survive. miss you so much!
One of the greatest of all time
So fucking hurts that this man is gone. What is coming, Tom?
MY HEART IS BROKEN
He was a treasure.
Long time Tom Petty fan. I think this one of the best. God bless my friend. I know it will too.
Tom's face at the end of this video is amazing.
Exactly. "We nailed it"
I agree 100% I 2 saw. It
I still get a chill down my spine every time I listen to this song
Me Too
I JUST SEID THAT TO MY SELF. 15 MINUTES AGO LISTENING TO.SHES A WOMEN IN LOVE. AND JUST GOT THE CHILKS AGAIN ABOUT 1.MINUTE BEFORE THE END OG THIS SONG. JUST AFTER I READ 4 OR 5.POSTS THEN SA W YOURS. AND SEID WOW. I.WAS JUST THINKING THAT 1 MINUTE BEFIRE
I have had ALS for 16 years I listen to Tom
I feel hopeful about the future. Thank Tom
Miss you buddy, rest in Peace
"There's somethin good coming, there has to be."
I was born nearly two weeks after Tom Petty . I had my heart attack at 64 . induced coma 3 months in the hospital. they give you a dozen tablets including statins. 1 year later I threw the pills into the garbage and switched to strawberries , blueberries, and red grapes and now running again, doing pullups and surfing. kept falling off the surfboard due to the coma and trauma. You have to learn to hop an inch again in the ward. it takes a couple of years ...But since I dumped those pharmaceutical /statins. life is good . I was lucky . Its so sad about Tom but hell, we have all his amazing songs... Forever.
If this doesn’t bring you to tears, I don’t know what will. ♥️♥️♥️
One year ago we lost him, and most of us are still heartbroken. The world is just not the same.
What should I say? I can't find the right words to desribe, how wonderful this song is. Magic
Legends never die. I hope my grandkids and their kids still spin these records and feel what I felt.
my 3 boys lost their mother in a horrible incident. I play, sing, and dance to this song with them when I can!!! Petty touched more lives than he will ever know! we didn't do him his justice on his greatness if we don't let our Littles know about the amazing poetry he wrote!
Still Missing Tom Petty.. Love this Song ❤
what a beautiful melody! his voice always get me out of stress
Sounds like a testament to his own life growing up. I always thought that. “How we paid for big mistakes”
Jessie McCroy Barbara McCroy♥️😔🧚🏻♂️
Tom petty sang his way Thur our lives.I. recently lost my husband of 46 years.We love Tom petty.What a great song writer.
Went to visit my adult son a week ago listening to this song- made me think of my recently deceased mom when Tom says, " I've been thnkin' bout momma , how she never caught a break " - I swear I broke down into tears. I'll miss you Tom just like I miss my own mom dearly. Thanks for the heart wrenching music through the years- it's truly healing. Rest in peace. Paul.
My mom died in 1998, but I miss her MORE as time goes on - I thought it would get easier but it doesn't. God Bless Tom Petty R.I.P.
I can't stop watching this video! It's my hope that something good is coming in this worst of all years! The previous years haven't been so kind either. Lost my best friend and my wife within a year of each other but it's my hope that something good is coming!
never thought i could miss someone having never met! rip tom!
I tried to do a incredibly bad thing & now wake up, I always wanted to go out listening to Wildflowers but in that moment with my head underwater this song came on in the moment I needed it the most. It's been my all time favorite song for a long time, I'm not very superstitious but I believe firmly Tom Petty.. having not knowing me had helped me come go my senses, when I felt nothing and wanted to end it all he came on and reminded me that there's a long road ahead, that there's a man that loves me at home and if I did this he'd be without me. He'd suffer without me, he wouldn't have me when he needed me the most.
Toms whole music Career IS a masterpiece !!!
With what our country is going through at this moment we need this song
Such a beautiful song from a beautiful soul.I still miss him...my favorite musician.
TH-cam needs to enact the ability to like songs this good more than once. Every time I watch this I want to give Tom another thumbs up, he's a legend and evokes emotion through music like no other.
We need a this is the most beautiful song ever button
Tom Petty.. so cool.. so simply beautiful. Saw him at age 18 in a small Seattle club I used fake ID to get in to. RIP TP
Tom Petty is the single best classic star alive today.
I'd rather see Petty w/ the Heartbreakers over any of his peers.
Petty is the only one who has gotten better with age.
I so agree with you. I realized his talent a bit late though, as in 40 years. Saw his concert in June, and I was hooked. Got into his music..........then sadly, October came. Still listening though, and growing in appreciation for his wonderful talent and fabulous band.
Not alive anymore
Thanks for the update, Sherlock.
Beverly Rachkofski in Connecticut Iwas there and it was phenomenal
Cash was too
Am I the only one still grieving daily for this sweet talented stubborn musical genius. He has my heart wide open and bleeding. A year later I am still in tears over this loss!
Me, too.
I missed the 70s and the 80s. The music today is not even the same. Sometimes I wish I could find a time machine and go back in time . Life was much easier , and everyone enjoyed life , do you love this beautiful songs?
Mike Campbell is the best guitarist that ever lived
I just can't say enough good things about Tom Petty.
This guy is for real.
This is beautiful.
Missing you Tom Petty.
still brings many tears...We all miss this simple kind man...something good commin
Tom petty, it simply doesn't get any better than this man , he's by far a legend,
It's a something good how many of us appreciate this music.❤
You don't know what you had until you miss it...
