This song is a rare gift — a Tom Petty masterpiece made of pure love. Great for weddings, funerals, or five acoustic guitars around a campfire. One thing I've noticed about Tom Petty: when he swings, he swings hard. To capture his groove, you've really got to put some muscle into your strumming. To hear how his energetic swing translates to piano, listen to the last track on this album, "Wake Up Time."
