Ben Rector - Free Falling (Tom Petty Cover)

[@echopiece79]

If you think about it, this guy was revolutionary for the time! 13 yrs ago already, and I still come back to listen to this classic rendition! Thank you Ben!

[@jetdubsz]

Ben, your voice is unreal. I've been listening for well over a decade, & find as much joy in this today as I did the first time I heard it. Your music has supported me through many phases of life!

[@cecilbatt11]

Real and raw. No glitz and glamor here. This man sings and entertains because that is what he loves to do. You can't hold back the ocean and you can't stop this soul from singing to his heart's content. We all should be so free to do what we really want.

[@xjuicewrldlaroiandskimaskf2725]

cecilbatt11 to go back 10 years and be his neighbor! Then I would be winning! Lol

[@kev4850]

I remember my elementary teacher showing me this, and here I am in highschool thinking about the old days....man was life great

[@j.m.salazar9964]

how's life going?

[@SincerelyAudrey13]

i don't understand HOW anyone couldn't love this. it's so original, creative, and beautiful. guess people don't know how to appreciate real music anymore. this video is every reason i love Ben Rector more than 99% of any other artists out there.

[@dvantemosby]

Saw this when I was a freshman in high school. Now i'm a freshman in college haha! Ben you're still the man!

[@brianlong61]

Love when he throws the pick. Agreed this should have millions of views. Remarkable skill, talent and excellent execution. Inspiring!

[@janinasimbillo]

Everything seems so genuine, sweet and calming, still swooning to his music on 2016

[@ericl9781]

Janina 2018 says hello

[@bellalstine]

So does 2019

[@osbornhrtp1591]

Corona

[@b4ndtr4sh94]

I love how his music is so real and genuine you know that’s something we don’t hear enough of nowadays

[@k.g.m.254]

Just now seeing this?!?!? 11 years later.........WHAT ?!?! My favorite singer singing one of my favorite songs of all time !!!!!

[@denniswilt1069]

The percussion build-up at the beginning was ingenious and hilarious. Well done @BenRector

[@AntonioCaritoF]

I seriously can't get enough of this song. It's too bad I had to miss his show in Toronto this past weekend. Would have blown my mind. Or relaxed my soul =)

[@dancinnqueen]

My gosh! You are just simply amazing! I LOVED watching you at my church yesterday. The "cheese" song made my day even more special:) I honestly think I could listen to you sing a million times and I would never get tired of your singing. You are most certainly gifted and God has blessed you tremendously! I'd love to see you again! -love, your fellow Christian.

[@abbynr]

This song in itself is the best. This man singing and doing what he's doing right here...I can't even. Thank you. I am inspired today.

[@LNClubsTheaters]

abbynr We have to agree. Ben is pretty amazing! But would you like to see him live? We have a ticket giveaway happening on our channel right now!

[@justuseloveineverything7184]

Ben this is when I knew I loved your music and still do 😊❤️🙏

[@symplstyl]

This is the greatest cover known to man. He made the song.. that's what music is

[@VforVolturi]

I hate how this only has 200k plus views. This deserves millions!

[@derekvandyke5154]

On the day Tom Petty passed away, this song feel very comforting. Thanks Ben for making an awesome cover of a music legend.

[@SixStringSanity]

Even though there's many aspects to this, I love the simplicity of the cover. His pure voice, making his own music. It's beautiful.

[@EM-nz9hf]

Ben Rector does not get enough credit, no one knows his song and they're so good

[@MartyRayProject]

Super talent! I subbed because of it.

[@alyssawright270]

So I just found this 5 years after it was posted and it has been on replay because I love it so much.

[@TheKenaynay]

I am so, so proud to say Ben Rector and I graduated from the same school... I grew up with this voice! Haha.

[@Chaunpd]

AMAZING!!!! You are one of the greatest musicians i have ever seen....

[@james_t_trevor3243]

[@hybridlionable]

Old school ben rector! Haha I remeber watching this a few years ago!!!
