Thought this was TP. Different kind of cut for him. Nice!

Tom Petty just doesn't do bad albums IMO.  |

That's an unusual criticism, particularly since the song is titled " Square One" (perhaps that was your intention). At least you didn't write the nauseatingly over-used adjective "repetitive". |

My uber-talented husband used to play and sing this; he learned it while in rehab. Unfortunately the rehab didn't stick and now he's gone.
RIP funnyman. <3

Tom Petty is astonishing. I'd never heard this song before, and now I'm being saturated with his music, and I wonder why I don't have everything he's ever done? Beautiful song...  |

It's good, I bought it, got a deal, Circuit City close out 80% of I think I paid $7 for it. Best $7 I've spent in a while. ( = |

Worth a Netflix rental if you have the time.
Got it from a bandmate as a Christmas gift. Very enjoyable. It was interesting to see the evolution of the band from the beginning to the present. |

A very chilled-out and reflective Tom Petty tune...I'm digging it.  |

I bought this album on the strength of 2 songs played from it on RP, but it turns out those 2 were the only listenable numbers and I eventually gave the CD away to a charity shop. |

Same here.Never saw him in concert, but don't really get into most of his stuff. But this quiet little piece really sings . . . Works well with the "unique" qualities of his voice, IMHO . . . |

Hmmm.
Perhaps that was what he was going for.

Thanks RP.
Another reason to give up entirely on "commercial outlets". They will only bring you pain, sorrow, and overplayed hits. |
