My love's an ocean
You better not cross it
Yeah I've been the distance
And I need some rest
Yeah I had somebody once
And damn if I lost her
I've been running
Like a man possessed

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
And I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

Yeah, I am a loser
At the top of my game
I should have known
To keep an eye on you
Now I got a sky
That ain't never the same
Yeah, I got a dream
That don't ever come true

I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
But I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

Sun going down
On a canyon wall
I got a soul
That ain't never been blessed
Yeah and I'm a shadow
At the back of the hall
Yeah, I got a sin
I ain't never confessed

And I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
And I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

And I don't scare easy
Don't fall apart
When I'm under the gun
You can break my heart
But I ain't gonna run
I don't scare easy
For no one

This was one of the last songs Coyote FM played before it sold out to classic rock.  Good stuff from Mr. Petty. I'm glad he got back with his old cronies.  They have a comfortable groove - it's evident in the musicianship and the vocals. No primadonnas here - just a bunch of friends, making music. (Sorta like Farm Dogs, Bernie Taupin's band.)

I must just be in a music mood - I'm liking everything being played so far! {#Roflol}

Yea, but what team in the majors would keep a guy who has not had a hit in over 25 years?{#Eek} And before someone replies that he has had a couple of top 40 hits since then, I don't mean having commercial success, I mean putting out a decent song!

it is always to greet with affability the courage, the resistance in the time, the friendship necessary to bring in return this band initially formed in  70's years; the odd style of  mr. Tom Petty is noticed with clearness -  ** 8 **

 I doe-no——— Southern Comfort perhaps, or did he breath very deep at the Fountain of Dylan ? You always have 
an 'exercise of free will' called VOLUME .....check it out, it's also called the anti-b*tch button.
You know what they say about two 2 standard deviations from the mean.......and so if Petty is the mean then .....

This best part about this project...reading about the surprise and joy the drummer got when Tom Pettty, his old bandmate, called him up after a few decades and said, "Were getting the band back together."  That would be really cool, I bet.

Tom sings lead and plays bass for Mudcrutch.

Oddly, I heard this about 24 hours ago on mvyradio.com. Well, I guess it's not that odd. I agree with the other poster who said that Petty gets better with age. Yes, this has the risk of being overplayed, but for now, it's all good. I like the lyrics. If only it were true.

I bought the "extended" version off iTunes that came with two videos of them performing live. I'm pretty sure the audio was not dubbed in those either, although I have watched them that closely. I agree the "recorded live in studio" sound is great, and I'm really enjoying the album.

It's pretty bad....Hoobastank is nothing to be  proud of either.

That said, the album is surprisingly great. You might think it's just another Petty album under another name but it's closer to Full Moon Fever with it's fun feel with a nice dash of Gram Parsons thrown in there.

According to the liner notes it was all recorded live, no overdubs, no headphones. That's a rarity these days and gives you an appreciation for the talent and craftsmanship on display.

No , no it is Tom's first band, before the Heartbreakers. They have gotten back together , since they are old now and there are no ego problems. :) This is what he was trying to re-create when he formed the Heartbreakers

This CD is on pretty high rotation in my music player. I also threw Hard Promises on there. The two compliment each other.

I agree, his voice is a little too raw here and detracts for me too. Still, a fan.

I have been a fan of Tom's since the 7o's, and I think this is some of the best stuff he has done in a long time. His last solo was good, but this has a loose vibe I really like.
Posted 16 years ago by sircharles    [ Reply ]
Yep, sometimes it takes age to make the perfect sound or vocal even. This is one of the better albums from Tom I've heard in quite some time, solo or with another band.
