I'm late to this party....but this should have KILLED-IT! Fantastic vocals, fantastic musicianship, great production. Whats not to like! Oh....and a great song, too!
OH. MY. GOD. I have been a Tom Petty fan since I bought this album new. I listen to lots of covers on RU-vid, and many are faithful and worthy of respect. But this, this, this--good God. It's a perfect arrangement. Tom was a studio obsessive, so you were smart to not try to emulate the original track for track. Your band is fantastic. Love them drums, love the bass, love your guitar tracks. And making this a female-fronted track? Well. Just perfect. Vox were out of this world. I know this is 3.5 years old as I write this, but damn you, RU-vid! Why didn't I find this sooner? Subscribed.
Thank you for doing such a beautiful rendition of one of my absolute favorite songs. So well done. Covered, not copied. I needed this. An emotional and powerful version that moved me for sure!
Lyrics: Started out Down a dairy road Study out Ole own And sun went downt Scros za hill And the tongue lead up The wool got steel I'm vaining a vie Buain't got wings Coaming down Is the hiadest thing Were the good ole days My noh return And the rups might melt And the sea may burn I'm mating a vly But I ain't got wings Coaming down Is the hardest thing Some say life Will beat you down Break your heart See your crown So studied out for gun nose wear I guess I'll know When I get there I'm matey a fly Around the clouds And what goes up Must ghaim down I'm lady da fly Buttiate got wings But coming down Is the hardest thing I'm matey to fly Around the clouds But what goes up Musk heim down I'm matey to fly I'm matey to fly
Learning to Fly (Tom Petty) Well, I started out Down a dirty road Started out all alone And the sun went down As I crossed the hill And the town lit up The world got still I'm learning to fly But I ain't got wings Coming down Is the hardest thing Well the good ol' days May not return And the rocks might melt And the sea may burn Now some say life Will beat you down Yeah, break your heart Steal your crown So I started out For God knows where I guess I'll know When I get there I'm learning to fly Around the clouds But what goes up Must come down ---
