I was 18 and had just moved in with my boyfriend in our own apartment. We bought a VHS-player and I was waiting for music videos to show on TV so I could record them. We only had two channels in Sweden and one single program that showed a couple of videos each week. So this song was one of the early ones recorded and has been a favourite of mine since then. I am 60 now.

[@patrickomalley3311]

My guess is the song meaning is a downer to the singer. I mean it's fine art but it's not exactly a rock anthem. Right? Believe me when I say I LOVE this song.

[@graciemaemarie11jones16]

it got a lot of airplay in 83 in new york state....this song was an anthem to the HORROR, yes, the HORROR that is being in love with a woman....this brutal, scab opening song tortured me.....tortured me....tortured me....tortured me....tortu

[@ElizabethBeckley-vo7wf]

I agree It is a Masterpiece!

[@ChatGPT1111]

It got a lot of play on KMET and KLOS in Los Angeles in 1980.

[@vidpie]

One reason: In 1981, Petty said that out of “terrible guilt” he offered to give Nicks another song instead of Insider, and played her a few castoffs from that year’s Hard Promises sessions. She jumped at Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, which Petty co-wrote with guitarist Mike Campbell. “That’s why I wanted you to write a song,” Nicks said. “It’s rock’n’roll, that’s what you do.” Petty thought he was giving her the song, not the recording. “We’d already cut it as a Heartbreakers song, with Tom singing the whole thing,” Tench says. “At the same time, Jimmy Iovine was dating Stevie, though he was keeping it clandestine. And I think Jimmy thought the song could be a hit for her.” The song’s irresistible swampy groove, punctuated by Campbell’s searing guitar stabs and Tench’s Booker T-like organ fills brought out a sassy repartee between the two singers, even if the duet was concocted in the studio by Iovine. Petty’s initial reaction was not enthusiastic: “He plays me Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around, the same track, with her singing,” Petty said in Runnin’ Down A Dream. “I go: ‘Jimmy, you just took the song…’ His comeback was like: ‘This is gonna buy you a house.’ But it pissed me off because it came out at the same time as our single [A Woman In Love], and I think ours suffered."

The fragile pain in his voice during the verses speaks louder than the chorus when he opens up. Only Tom Petty could do this to such staggering effect. He was so goddamn clever and on point. If any of those jagoff contestants on American Idol or the Voice attempted this song,theyd overdo it with worthless vocal acrobatics in lieu of subtlety. There hasnt been a pop song this great made by anybody since this ,unless it was by Petty himself. He could have been a Beatle for Christs sake. No wonder George loved him so much.

They've distinctly diff't sound/style, & are unique in their creativity, but Tom's artistry & musicianship, the way he hit certain grooves, & the emotional impact of a soul set to music - life reflected via song - strikes a similar spot in my heart as Neil Young's work. Never got to see Neil live, but caught Tom at the Stanley in Pittsburgh circa '79-80 - that gig hit me w/the same force as the 1st time I saw Neil do Hurricane, I think on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert around '75. Powerful stuff.

First of all cool name 😉 and I never heard this song on vinyl but on moms cassette and this is a song I can play over and over again 😊

[@WTFChuk]

+david banner Yup, Tom Petty's best song. Refugee is a close second.

[@rivervideoproductions3046]

Does it calm your raging beast inside? :)

[@kevinbree1851]

It does!

[@dennisjaros3345]

Love this song. So true

[@jdc1957]

Never could understand why this song didn't chart higher. A classic!

[@Boatdockmlh1]

It was released the same time as stop dragging my heart around with Stevie Nicks and the record company decided they couldn't promote 2 TP songs, so they promoted the one with Stevie.

[@catsrule4catsrule481]

Agree

[@lesliezaremba2195]

I agree!! If I am not mistaken, it did not make Rolling Stone's top 50 - I was blown away!! HOW?? It, to me, is in the top 5! Powerful, magical, soulful, poetic and absolutely all things Petty! ❤❤❤

[@GCEZ28]

Had the album... didn't pay too much attention to the charts. This album was #1 on my Technics/Marantz system back in the day! But you are right. Way under appreciated! R.I.P. Tom Petty on the 2nd anniversary of your untimely death. We miss you.

[@bethjohnson2689]

Quite a rockin song

[@edwardgilson9891]

Heartbreaking song, I always wondered if it was personal

[@Jaidabecca]

I will never understand why this song doesn't get any airplay. Seriously, this is a much better song than Free Fallin' & every station in my area plays that song to death.

[@richardwalker663]

This song and Here Comes My Girl are the 2 best Petty songs

[@rodolfohuezo6999]

Politics

[@danw2112]

In 1999, my local rock station played this song randomly, out of nowhere. This after going through 3 break up, rejection, heartbreak moments the previous 6 years. 8-9 years I bought Tom Petty's Anthology CDs and his live CD set a few months after he passed away.

[@Jaidabecca]

@@rodolfohuezo6999 What are the politics behind this song being overlooked? I'm actually curious. Like, was it something governmental politics(ie some stupid form of censorship or something) or was it record label politics?

[@anthonydavella8350]

@@Jaidabecca too sad and reaches too many way too much. Really is

[@jamesleigh6098]

Went in 2014 , DTE music theater. My wife's 50th birthday, paid $400 fot 7th row. Best money spent ever. Miss you, Tom

[@wendideleoncampbell4174]

I had just come back from America to Sydney ,Australia and reunited with my Australian boyfriend. One night at dinner while listening to music... I asked him to play this song and he took it real personal...wow🧨🧨🧨🧨

[@Heather-r2n]

I remember back in the seventies the song really captured my attention! The way they all put it together was perfect! R.I.P. Mr Thomas Earl Petty.❤❤❤

[@suzanneh8238]

His music never fails to transport me to another place and time ❤

[@SueNicoll-ep7ht]

R.i.p. gorgeous Tom ❤️❤️❤️

[@TheAxiomChronos]

the space in between the space, and the use or not use of said space..makes TP a fucking Genius.

[@Footjones]

that is so true! well said, my friend

[@kevhow2190]

I know what you mean.

[@gzuzsavz]

indeed. no need or want to fill every nano second with notes. audio dark matter..matters :)

[@tullfan7872]

Yep, the sweep of the music cutting through the blank space, can be soooo good to the human ear.

[@tryithere]

Are you saying he's a space cadet?

[@PawnShopRockers]

Tom was a master! "She laughed in my face... told me goodbye. > She's a women in love... but It's not me!" What a way to carve out a man's soul.

[@rob-robi]

Quite the poet

[@PawnShopRockers]

@@rob-robi Tom really was. This entire album is my favorite.

[@Weshopwizard]

God what an amazing song!!!!!!!!!

[@lisajones1965]

I cry because of 1 year without him, the angels in Heaven sing because of 1 year with him.

[@seanschmidt2793]

43 years ago and it is still as bad assed as it was the first time I tapped my feet and head to it.... This is Fire 🔥
