My mom suddenly died just before Christmas and now I have to organize everything and move out of our apartment and live on my own for the first time in my life. So I really relate to this song right now, it gives me hope.

This song hits different when you're older and mature

[mikeybalboa]

The beginning riff of this song already makes you feel like you’re learning to fly.

[bassgirl_denalia]

The quintessential coming of age anthem: such a powerful song.

My friend and I would always listen to this song after JROTC, now we barely ever talk. He’s an officer in the army now and I’m an Audio Visual Technician. We both went our own separate ways, now all we got is this song to remind us of those good days.

🤘Rest in peace to both Tom Petty and David Bowie! They were and will always be, legends. They set the bar in rock n roll and music in general.🤘

My family is into making Playlists for our survivors after our passing. This song will be for my children on my list. Thank you Tom for helping me find the words.

Tom Petty got his wings cause he had another job to do in Heaven, He will be missed ❤️🎼🔥

I love that they still play this on the radio :)

[gameinater]

Sometimes I get sad and am unsure of life, then I play this and it makes everything a little bit better.

[BlueJeansandJellyBeans]

He must have experienced what much of us do. Tom Petty is a legend. This song is full of inspiration. ❤
The piano version is very moving...

Reminds me of when I was invited to leave home 1 week after my 17th birthday. Decades later, when I first heard this song, I could see myself in the lyrics. I cried.
