Fall Songs: Free Fallin (#4)

Tweet

At least there aren’t any surprises from here on out. I’m pretty sure of that. When I said I’d do songs with “fall” in the title this may be the first one that popped into your mind (or the second one, and that one’s coming later ). So, to nobody’s surprise, here’s today’s “fall” song. #4: Free Fallin’ - Tom Petty Well duh! I know, sometimes I lack originality so much it’s pathetic. One of Tom Petty’s greatest ballads has become so overplayed the reaction might be one of disgust. Yeah, I feel that way about “Hotel California.” But I don’t listen to the radio, so I don’t hear this 80 times a day. And Full Moon Fever ranks right up there with favorite Petty albums. I heard this a lot when I went to concerts in 1989 (it was a favorite pre-show play everywhere I went), but I’ve yet to tire of it. Excuse me, gonna leave this world for a while.
