Learning To Fly
Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers Learning To Fly
...dök upp i flödet på MTV sommaren 1991. På den tiden var Tom Petty för min del no go zone för jag klassade hans musik som gubbrock. Med ålderns rätt (min alltså) talar vi numera istället gärna istället om...uhm, jag tyckte jag läste något om Jangle Pop?!😉
Från en två år gammal artikel med rubriken How Tom Petty's 'Learning To Fly became a quiet redemption song:
"Everyone has tragedy in their life," Petty told ABC News in 1991. He was inspired by a pilot, who said the hardest part about flying a plane was coming down from the air. "You can lay down and let the tragedy overwhelm you, or you can fly above it, and I think that's sort of what I'm trying to say in that song. I don't say that I can fly - I'm learning. Also, we're expected to do a lot of things that we're not necessarily equipped for."
Trevlig Helg! Häpp!
