Tom Petty was a musical hero of mine. He was a genius.
We lost a lot of great musicians is 2017. The one that is hitting me the hardest is Tom Petty. Still hard to believe that he is gone. I never did get to seem him in concert. I had tickets when he was going to come to Salt Lake City but he cancelled a few days before because he was sick.
We are lucky to have his music to still listen to and learn from. He was a genius.
I have attached lyrics to one of my favorite songs of his.
What is your favorite Tom Petty song(s)?
Rest in Peace, Tom.
Room at the Top
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I can see everything tonight
I got a room where everyone
Can have a drink and forget those things
That went wrong in their life
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't comin' down, I ain't comin' down
I got someone who loves me tonight
I got over a thousand dollars in the bank
And I'm all right
Look deep in the eyes of love
Look deep in the eyes of love
And find out what you were looking for
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't comin' down, no I ain't comin' down
I wish I could feel you tonight, little one
You're so far away
I want to reach out and touch your heart
Yeah like they do in those things on TV, I love you
Please love me, I'm not so bad
And I love you so
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't comin' down, no I ain't comin' down
I ain't comin' down
