Before all of this ever went down
In another place, another town
You were just a face in the crowd
You were just a face in the crowd
Out in the street, walking around
A face in the crowd
Out of a dream, out of the sky
Into my heart, into my life
And you were just a face in the crowd
You were just a face in the crowd
Out in the street, thinking out loud
A face in the crowd
Out of a dream, out of the sky
Into my heart, into my life
And you were just a face in the crowd
You were just a face in the crowd
Out in the street, walking around
A face in the crowd
Face in the crowd
A face in the crowd
A face in the crowd

Wow What do I hear - something much larger and deeper like anything on that scale if you are to close you will not see it |
| Grammarcop (A mitten surrounded by ice) | Posted: Mar 15, 2013 - 08:14 A typical Tom Petty song: Four or five grunted syllables. Pause. Four or five grunted syllables. Repeat. |

| justin4kick (The Netherlands) | Posted: Oct 09, 2012 - 12:47 As exciting as reading a telephone book. A name in the book... a name in the book. You were just etc. etc. |
| ziakut (Right Here) | Posted: Aug 07, 2012 - 12:19 Forgettable Petty. Pleasant enough. |

10 Yeah, I always liked the vibe of this song. Just perfect. |
| OCDHG (Missing Damascus) | Posted: Aug 05, 2008 - 08:48 Did Tom Petty get neutered?? OK, that was harsh. I loves me some Petty— even the more mellow slower stuff— doesn't all have to be Change of Heart type stuff all the time... But this is weak. |
| rajron (Albuquerque) | Posted: Jan 31, 2008 - 20:12 Great Album / Great Song |
| 1guppy (East of TO west of the Shwa) | Posted: Dec 31, 2007 - 09:16 An excellent song from an excellent album by a superior songwriter, singer. Just love Petty...can you tell? S |

| ShockwaveRider (PDX) | Posted: Mar 23, 2007 - 14:42 Does it seem like there's been a lot more Tom Petty than usual here on RP? |
| Alifreckles50 (Frederick, MD) | Posted: Mar 23, 2007 - 14:41 kinda sad, desperate...hopeful. remember cruising Friday nights hoping you'd fall in love? seems like a million years ago.. |
| steeler (Riding The Bus to Canton) | Posted: Jun 15, 2006 - 13:04 You know, I find much more significance here than I did long ago. Sweet in its simplicity. |

He never tried to keep his sound "relevant" (like U2, for example) and instead stayed with what he knows and is comfortable working with. Admirable. Since his sound has remained organic (sans rap/techno/synth) I think radio has largely forgotten him. Well stated. I agree. |

| Helchat (a record store near you) | Posted: Dec 07, 2005 - 11:44 Did anyone catch Tom Petty on last night's Billboard Music Awards? I only watched it cause a friend said Green Day were performing, but it was mostly rap-crap. In any event, TP got a lifetime-type award. He's great!!! |

Damn you classic rock radio! CLEAR CHANNEL! You must be destroyed! ("Don't Come Around Here No More" is awesome. So where is it? HUH?) That's pretty much what i think also, T. Petty  |

It's this CD. It's something like, "attention CD listeners: This is the point where those listening on record or tape would have to stand up and flip the album over. And now....side 2..." (with strange barnyard noises in the background) I'm cool with Bonnie Raitt but when she went on that Grammy sweep this album got screwed for sure. TJ |

Doesn't Petty say something about turning over the CD about halfway through this one? Pretty sure it was on this album. |
