Tom Petty - Wildflowers (Official Lyric Video) 

I am Japanese. I bought this album at a record shop when it was released in Japan. It's been 30 years since then. I still love this album. This song is the first song on the album. That day, I admired him for writing such beautiful songs, and even now, that feeling hasn't changed at all.

My 21 year-old son passed away three months ago and this song totally Hit me hard. It's beautiful. Thank you Tom.

My 28 year old daughter just passed away after a 15 month long battle with brain cancer. I always think of her when I hear this beautiful song💕 I hope you are running through the wildflowers, my sweet Megan 💔

My mom died in June after a yearlong battle with ovarian cancer. She was ready to go and wanted me to let her go and I just could not. I had been on a "Wildflowers" ( the whole album) kick pretty much since right after her diagnosis. But after she told me to let her go, it was like I was hearing this song for the first time. I was able to let her go because of this song. She is among the wildflowers, now, and this song is helping me to heal and still feel her presence. Thank you, Tom. God bless.🌼🌿🌻🌾🍃🌼🌿

I recently learned in a Tom Petty documentary that this song was written during a period of deep personal reflection. He played this song straight through the first time and never found any reason to edit. I think it was his most honest, purest song from the heart.

This song came on the radio when I was driving today. It’s a song I have always liked. I really felt it today and I think maybe I was meant to hear it. I have been feeling so low. I’m gonna be 45 day after tomorrow. I have had estranged relationships with my parents and haven’t had much family life over the years even though I am very close with my own children who are now entering teen years. My husband cheated on me about 7 months ago. He’s still here but it has changed me forever. I don’t always feel my friends are genuine. I don’t feel many people care about me. I don’t have a career. We moved 5 times and I have always been home with the kids. I was feeling like I don’t have much to be proud of, no career path, not many truly meaningful relationships. I have been covered in sadness and felt in pain. This song came on and I felt the lyrics in my soul like I am a wildflower. I’m not meant to be in a manicured flower bed with big family gatherings, a career, a problem free marriage. I grow in the woods and spread and blow in the wind with the challenges that have come to me. And I do the best I can and for that I can be proud ❤️

Played this beautiful song at my wedding for my deceased father, who died of brain cancer, instead of a father-daughter dance. We played a slideshow of pictures of my dad alongside the song. He loved to fish so this song was perfect. Every once in a while I'll hear it on the radio and it always makes me tear up!

Dedicated to my dog Stanley. RIP big guy, I love you.

You are now among the wildflowers Tom👆. ONE LOVE❤️🙏❤️

Thank you, Tom, for one of the most beautiful, heart-wrenching songs ever written. Rest in peace, wildflower.

Today is my birthday and all I could think was of my mother. I love you mom.

Just a fantastic feel good song appropriate for weddings or funerals, not too many songs that can cover both like this one.

My daughter got married in October and she surprised me with this song for our father - daughter dance ! I cried , and I will never forget it ! It was perfect !!!

RIP, mom. You fought so bravely and suffered far too long. Fly away .. it's time for you to be free. I sure do miss you already, though. 💔😭

Tom said that Wildflowers was his greatest album, and greatest song.

When I had to drive home from the hospital that my wife passed away at, this was the first song I heard on the radio. I was in shock and honestly dont know how I made it home but the song helped me and it has since then, meant allot to me. I feel sad and think about my wife and yet find comfort and meaning in Tom's wonderful lyrics. Reading many of the comments here I realize how much good his song has done and it has carried many hearts. Thanks Tom.

Played this at my son's memorial last July. It fits him perfectly.

My daughter passed away 10-1-2010 . I played his song wildflowers at her funeral. I love Tom Petty's ♥ of music. True legend he is.

This song was the opposite of my upbringing. I am now going to follow my heart and feel free. Tom had so much compassion and love. R.I.P dear one. You are missed.

This song. I had just left an abusive marriage in May of 1995. My sweet friends took me along to their annual Memorial Day weekend camp out. Well, I swam naked in the pond and reveled in the sweat lodge afterward. I met a dear man who wanted to share my tent. Alas, he did not. That weekend, I was among the Wildflowers and will always remember this song as an anthem of my release to freedom.

My mom passed away 3 days ago on Tom Pettys birthday (also my wedding anniversary) and this was her favorite Tom Petty song. She didn't want to miss his birthday party, she was such a huge fan of his. I played it for her 5 times on the day she died. I'm heartbroken, but she is among the wildflowers. ❤

Dear Tom. You're missed.

For me, Wildflowers is one of the greatest albums of all times. R.I.P. Tom.

This has always been one of my favorites and holds a special place in my heart. Two days ago I had to say goodbye to my sweet dog, Penny, who was with me for 13 years. When I left the vet without her this song came on as soon as I started my car. I like to think she made that happen. 💔💔💔

Thank you Tom Petty. Rest easy, and know that you made this world better. 💞

My mom passed at 92 yrs old. She was naturally blessed with musical talent. I would sing this song to her during the week of her passing. Her one eye brow would raise when I would sing it to her. Special song that really fit that time. Miss you Mom. Glad your are somewhere you feel free. 😊

For years all I heard from Tom Petty was the stuff on the radio (last dance with Mary Jane, You don’t know how it feels, Free falling etc.) Decent songs and all but this is an absolute masterpiece.

I lost my 30 year old son a year ago. I'm never going to be over it. I'm crying while I type this...

I work at margaritaville on universal citywalk, and we play a Jimmy Buffett live cover of wildflowers all the time. Crazy to think they’re both gone 😢 RIP Tom and Jimmy. ❤

I've listened to him since I was a child and this song makes me cry every time I hear it. This was his masterpiece in my opinion.

I've been listening to and hearing Tom Petty for my pretty much my whole life. How did I ever miss this gem for this long?...Never heard 1 time thru late 80's or 90's or the last 22 1/2 yrs. Don't get at all....either way, it's a gem to find after he passed, when I thought I pretty well had him understood n covered......To me it's his best work n hope he's pickn and singn it "In that home bye n bye".

Thanks so much to Tom's family and friends who worked to put this album out. We love you.

Giving my daughter away at her wedding. Mom and Dad were first 2 words. Tom Petty was words 3 and 4. This is her favorite album. I picked this song and she loved the choice..Thank you for all you gave us Tom.

I was born in 1988. I was raised with classic rock. My mom was a "concert kid" you can't name a band from those days that she hasn't seen play live. Tom petty was her favorite, and is one of mine. This song always makes me think of her free spirit, and the love for music that she passed down to me.

Tom Petty has written the most beautiful lyrics in this song. You not only hear them ,you feel them! Unbelievable talent that will never die.✌❤❤❤

Today, in beautiful autumn sun. My mom was put to final rest next to my father who passed away in 2006. Toms lyrics helped us say goodbye. Now they are together again. Among the Wildflowers.

Makes me miss so many who've blessed my life - family, friends, pets, and of course the true poets -- Thank you Tom!!

Has to be the prettiest song I’ve ever heard💜

I'm just grateful that I was able to see Tom and the Heartbreakers in concert several times. One of the true high points of my life! What AWESOME concerts they were!❤❤❤

May you rest among the wildflowers you bloomed in our hearts Tom❤️

My beautiful great niece, a gypsy soul with a hippie vibe....this world was just too much for her...this song fits her perfectly.

You belong somewhere you feel free 🖤

One of the many ways to appreciate TP&H is to pick one layer of a song and just pay attention to it for the whole song. It helps me appreciate just how many layers there are, and how fantastic each musician is. This time, I focused on just the wonderfully fluttering piano. These guys were spellbinding.

Huge fan of his. Another great artist gone too soon. Dearly missed. RIP TOM!! 🙏🙏💜💜

I had the honor of seeing him perform live May 25, 1994❤️ I'll never forget it

As an empath, this song, this light has shined bright at a time that I'm at a crossroads in my life. This is confirmation that I belong amongst the wild flowers 💐. Message received, thank you.

I imagine Tom, or any artist, would be honored to know his creation has such a heartfelt connection.

My headphones got busted today... it gave me the chance to hear the incredible background music. It normally sounds so effortless, I never realized how much thought and talent went into making the song. We miss you, Tom Petty!

Thanks for the music Tom Petty. Oh how you touched my heart and soul. Mr. Cool forever! Your music is eternal. Never forgotten my brother. Always remembered. 💘

this has been "my song" my whole life, my mom made it my song because she said it always reminded her of me. I finally found the song after searching forever:')

I lost my precious nephew unexpectedly and I had never heard any of these songs. It was played at his funeral and it just brought me to uncontrollable tears. He was just 17 years old. RIP Angel.

I’ve heard a lot of songs, but never one better than this.

This song really touched my heart. After 34 years My oldest son decided he wanted nothing to do with his parents and brothers. In a way it was like a death. I finally realized I had to let him go. Hopefully he will come back to his family someday.

I was singing at a vineyard once when a couple who just married asked us to play this for them. So we did! One of those memories I will cherish forever ❤

Such a calming song.

I miss you Big bro 😭❤ This song gives me peace. Thanks Tom, You are incredibly missed.

My brother passed in 2020 from a long 10 year battle with addiction. He liked Tom Petty. I can totally see why my Dad made a DVD our first Christmas without him. It was filled with just pictures of him. Some I had never seen before. Wildflowers was one of the songs he used for background music. Rips my heart out and makes it flutter all at the same time.

I'm trying to build up the courage to sing/play this for my dad at his wedding-- one of the few times I've seen him cry was when Tom died. It's fine if I suck but it'll be hard not to cry myself!!

This was the song my dad and I danced to at my wedding

What a true legend and we can all be happy that we were greased by his presence whether you're hearing his music for the first time went to his concert or been a longtime fan of his music because it's timeless and it will never get old so wherever he is I hope that he's rocking out and having a blast and that people will continue to discover his music or rediscover his music or help other people become a lifelong Petty fan.

WE MISS YOU TOM!!!

For my Sister 🙏 who passed tragically in an area where nothing grows. But I know she is among the wildflowers & butterflies & the ocean ever since that awful morning. Happy Birthday Sis 🦋 And thank you Tom 🎶 Both Resting In Peace 🕊️ 🌹

such an amazing songwriter/story teller! Great tune to strum along to!

Quite possibly the greatest masterpiece ever recorded

My grandma passed yesterday and this song really makes me think of her ❤️

It's always the simple songs like this that get to you. Another great example would be "Songbird" by Fleetwood Mac. Just an instrument or two, a beautiful voice, and pure, honest lyrics.....

So incredibly sorry for your loss! This song definitely pulls at your heartstrings when it comes to loss.. I'm coming up on 6 years when I lost my ex and this song feels like a tribute to him! 💕

My daughter played this at her wedding. Beautiful song!

My first concert was their tour in support of this album. It was incredible

My best friend recently lost her battle with depression and addiction. This was our song. The other day I was feeling gutted, walked into a bar, and this song started playing. I know it was meant for me to hear, and remind me.

This was the first song I played in my mustang the first day I got her. This song will continue to remind me of my car. I love her ❤

So wistful and lovely. I miss him five years later.

If anyone sees this please play this at my funeral. Tom Petty is one of the main reasons I stayed alive as long as I did

I love this song so much. My lovelife is as much as misery right now...

Heard it first in that episode of parks & rec where Ann Perkins and Chris Traeger leave Pawnee. The song perfectly encapsulated the emotions of that episode and I simply had to look it up. I want this played at my funeral

Please make the graphic on the left of the screen into a poster that we can purchase! This would be an instant buy for me!!

My Son lost His Beloved Wife of 49 years old. My Nephew, Pastor Todd Zielinski played his Guitar and Sang this Song at her Funeral. Such Beautiful Words❤ Love & Miss you Sweet April😢

A dear friend of mine, rocker Bobby Hollar gave me this song before he passed away from alcoholism. I will always cherish it.

I picked this song for my daughter's Father-Daughter dance at her wedding in October. She agreed. It was perfect. I cried.

This gives me great nostalgia, My dad says that he used to sing this to me in my early years in life. I may not remember those years but this song is still special to me

Whispy sweet; under-appreciated/over-fab; harmony plus romance; without females we don't exist. Tom says this gracefully before he expired. Cheers to you, Tom! * Cav *

my mom said this is her special song for me and i'm so glad it is :)

Thank God, Tom family came together. And not Drag his Legacy through the mud. Rest in paradise Tom Petty. 🙏

My wife died from colon cancer on 10/09/2022 This song seems fitting for her. We were married 26 years. Knew each other 32 years. She battled cancer for seven years, went through over a hundred chemo treatments, 3 clinical trials. It's almost coming up on 3 weeks since she passed. I still don't know what is going on. I still can't believe that my love is not beside me. I don't know what to do. I was the one who told her that she was going to die. The cancer had spread to her lungs. So lost.

Tom was, is and always will be pure gold.

The last verse where the piano kicks in is beautiful

I have always loved Tom.. I loved all his music all of my life... My dear mom passed away 2 weeks ago.. sadly Tom never made 89 like Sally my beautiful mom. This song will be played at her funeral. .. they were both free spirits... God bless them both. Xxxx

Beautiful Song 🎵. Tom Petty is a LEGEND

“You deserve the deepest of cover!”

Simple yet so beautiful

Heard this masterpiece again a little while ago, so I went back to listen to an incredible collection of his genius called An American Treasure, which came out not long after Tom left us. I just came across a song I hadn't heard before, Gainesville (an unreleased outtake from 1998). It was so beautiful I started crying, and still am. God, Tom I miss you so much.

This song is wonderfull and remind me very much good moments when i was younger. This kind of songs never gonna let to be as the soundtrack of my life.

I’m getting married in two weeks and when my dad and I golf with just the two of us I always play Tom petty Pandora or Bob Seger or anything around that era, it makes him happy and feels like home to me. I picked this song for my father daughter dance. I hope he likes it because I definitely do.

_You belong somewhere you feel free_ 💚 Parks and Recreation

My good friend and former coworker passed suddenly over last weekend and he loved Petty, it made him feel at ease. so now I listen to this song and think of him feeling free in a field of flowers and it brings comfort

This is the first time I've heard this, & it's great. I'm not familiar with all of Tom Petty's catalogue, but it's the best tune of his, in my estimation, that he did when not singing with the Traveling Wilburys.

Just separated from my wife 3 weeks ago, absolutely love her to bits and miss her more every day.. this lovely song was hard to listen to for me, I really hope she finds somewhere/someone good.. She's a lovely person..

My parents both grew up with Tom Petty and remember him when he was playing with Mudcrutch in the early days as an up and coming band in Los Angeles. Fast forward 20 some odd years, my mom played this in memory of my father when he passed and had the first stanza engraved on his headstone. We did the same for her when she passed. My fiancé and I agreed on it tonight as our song the moment we walk back from the alter. Its bitter sweet to hear it as I'm always reminded by them when its played. Im glad to see it resonates with so many others!

I just want to dance in the wildflower’s when I listen to this 🌻🥰

This touches the bare essence of my soul
