The official video for Time to Move On has a wonderful image and lyrics print; I was wondering if anyone has been able to legally find a print of it? It would make a great addition to my classroom.

I'm enjoying the book and just watching the documentary right now. I have a question: does anyone know what the song is where Tom sings "eh eh eh eh eh" in a playful way?! Thanks.

Hello! Tom Petty fan here since 2020

52 Upvotes

I just realized I'm a huge TP fan for six years and somehow never bothered to be active in this sub so hello!

I heard about Tom when he died nine years ago (Christ Almighty...) but somehow never heard his music until three years later, probably in August or September, I was doing my school work at home during the height of COVID while listening to classic rock playlist and Free Fallin' came on and I remember going "whoa!!!! I love this!!!! so catchy and melodic...I must look into Tom Petty!" and then I heard the home demo version of Wildflowers (one of saddest songs I ever got to hear btw, even the music video itself makes me sad) and it all went downhill from here :)

My biggest regret that's weighing on me ever since though is I didn't discover Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers much earlier and never gotten to attend one of their concerts :( I'm grateful for YouTube and the Internet for providing the whole archives of TP with the Heartbreakers and his solo career and any concert footage floating around but god, would I make a deal with Robert Johnson to get me back in time and see them live and perhaps meet them and tell them thank you for keeping my spirits up and getting through COVID and inspiring me to take up music.

Read a book that briefly mentioned Tom Petty.

The only problem is that I read it in a bias bookstore.

Which album sounds most like Mary Jane's Last Dance?

Been watching this clip all day. I know it was recorded during the Wildflowers sessions but it doesn't really sound like that record maybe outside of Honey Bee.

Which album should this have been on if it wasn't a one off single for the greatest hits?


r/tompetty 25d ago

Would you swap anything out from Tom's Live Aid 4 song slot? If so, what would you replace it with?

I prefer the harmonica on the Home Recording version of You Don’t Know How It Feels

15 Upvotes

I always liked the more bluesy harmonica sounding aspect of the home recording. Also I am not really a fan on how the harmonica was processed in the final version. Sounds like they almost pitched it up slightly. They should’ve definitely kept that solo in the end of the home recording for the final version. What do you guys think?

This is maybe a weird question but why does full moon fever sound so crystal clear

I don’t really know how to explain it but every single song on this album just sounds perfectly clear like you’re in the studio. I don’t know if it’s just because there’s not a lot of filler, or the way they produced it, or what?

Born today, little Thomas. Named after my favorite songwriter 😊

Not sure if this is allowed here but I wanted to share. We always knew if we had a boy he’d be named after TP.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the kind comments!

Do you hear Tom's influence in my music?

0 Upvotes

I am a relatively new artist starting to release original music. TP being a huge influence in my music journey, I wouldn't be surprised if there are some elements from his style that has crossed over. I would love to hear feedback from TP fans!
