Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers - Don't Come Around Here No More (Official Music Video)

[@K9_MAMA]

I immediately fell in love with this song from just a few opening notes. LOVE the song, and the video is genius! Many of my family and friends didn't get it, except my dad. 🙂😊 No surprise this song is about Stevie Nicks. (Edit: I fell in love when it was released. I'll be 67 soon enough. No lie, "Boomers" and "Gen X" had the best music!)

[@annalisavajda252]

I know you really want to tell me goodbye I know you really want to be your own girl...

[@michaelmartineau825]

Not "about" Stevie. Her quote for the song about Joe Walsh, which Dave Stewart heard her say.

[@K9_MAMA]

@@michaelmartineau825 There's an interview in which Nicks stated SHE believes this song is about her. Which relationship? Who knows. If you look at her list of boyfriends/lovers you'll find that she overlapped rather regularly - and it was always to her benefit. Am I criticizing or judging Nicks? Nope. Simply stating a well-known fact.

[@K9_MAMA]

@@michaelmartineau825 PS - As for Walsh, Nicks states HE was the "love of her life." But when a reporter relayed this to Walsh, he just said, "Oh?" When questioned if he felt the same about Nicks, Walsh firmly stated, "No. Never."

[@JasonB_13]

"I don't feel you anymore", I always loved that. It perfectly captures the erosion of a relationship so succinctly. You could write a dissertation on why people fall out of love with their significant other, especially when the s.o. has done nothing wrong, but Tom sums it up in 5 words. Wherever the feeling goes, it's gone.

[@atomictraveller]

it's about the ma5onic influence in the (music) industry. if you're talking about that relationship, you're dead on. except heterodyning.

[@goondocksaints9597]

My daughter really got into "Through the Looking Glass" (Alice in Wonderland) as a teen. And when she told me she really digs Tom Petty, I asked her if she liked this video. She never heard this song or saw the video at that time. It felt like giving her 10 birthday presents at once when I pulled up this video and showed her. I still can remember the look on her face as she watched this vid for the first time. It's pure magic to discover something you know a loved one will absolutely adore and be able to give it to them in a snap of your fingers. Rare moments like that are what make life wonderful.

+Tom Mullin Sir I hope your daughter isn't addicted to the poppy. Who knows maybe only shrooms)

[@goondocksaints9597]

Privacy Advocate I might agree with you, if only I knew wtf you were talking about??? Are you suggesting that reading classic literature is a 'gateway drug' that leads to opiate abuse? Books are meant to be read, not burned. Don't fear reading, it's never a waste of time.

[@privacyadvocate6697]

+Tom Mullin  Lewis Carroll was an infamous opiate abuser, did you actually watch through the looking glass, this wasn't clear to you? If you think a sober mind created such a fantasy clearly about using, I don't know what to say.  If he wasn't high he was clearly insane.   Let's just say opium was readily available at the time.  If this whole nonsense story isn't a poppy dream, then, well he is just insane. Don't ask me how I know, please.

[@goondocksaints9597]

I didn't 'watch' the book. And I was aware of Carroll's opiate use. You implied that my daughter was a potential drug user for reading a book. Don't do that, I don't react well to such childish implications.

Damn, I'd forgotten how wacked this video was. MTV was awesome when it first came out. You got to see the creations of the videos of your favorite songs. This was one of the best. Very intriguing and gotta say, pretty creepy.

[@annettestobb2847]

Crazy story over how the theme for the video came about as well

You never die when you leave something like this behind. It still hurt to know I’d never hear another song you wrote, though, Tom!

[@johnrogers9481]

Hmmm, this song and video came out in the mid nineteen eighties, and you went on to never hear another song Tom wrote and recorded when there have been dozens??

[@rosemarywaldron497]

@@johnrogers9481 If you read that person's words with ❤️...you'll find their true "intent." And not just come from a place of harshly judging their words. 🤍 To me, they were trying to convey that they are sad that we ALL will never get to hear a BRAND NEW SONG by TP; one that he could have written now because, he was still here on earth 😓physically with us still. 💖 I do absolutely understand, your point, that because, Tommy was such a prolific songwriter, and had a "vault" as it's often referred to, of tons of songs, that had either never been recorded on an album, or were "alternate" versions of some of his songs that were on TPHB & TP albums, or some that were just "informal demos," that we, in a sense, DO STILL get to hear a NEW song that we've not heard before! Thank God🙏 & Thank you TP for leaving such a generous, priceless gift 💝 of yourself behind for us to treasure! 🎩💔🎸🎶

[@AndyArnold-uz5yo]

This song reminds me about my wife. It was her favorite song before she lost the battling to cancer, I wish I could change the hands of time, I miss her smiles, she was always there for me and our lovely daughter, and I never miss a moment with her, life could be so unfair most times, there is some pain, I will cry in vain but won’t let you know how I will feel yes, I will miss you to the core! but some times i wonder why bad thing always happen to good people. She’s always in our heart..

[@IndyCrewInNYC]

Rest in peace, Tom. This has always been my favorite video of all time. A genuine artist is gone.

It’s weird missing someone you never meet, miss you Tom 😢

[@coreycauthon2236]

It's because the world has lost some of it's majesty and genius. It's heart breaking to know that in a relatively short time we will have lost all of our maestros of melody. No, it isn't weird, because artist like Tom Petty reached and touched the world, and left it better in passing.

[@victorbattermann622]

I completely agree with you 😥

[@carlahollars612]

Right!!! It feels weird to miss someone whom I've never met. I know his music will always be here for us but it still hurts that he's gone.

[@anthonyevans9169]

Rip Tom, just head something big, all his songs were number ones

[@robyndismon394]

If I may be so bold, I think that this video is pure genius on more levels than I can count. I can't imagine the time it took 2 recreate ANY part of Alice in Wonderland for a music video when technology and money for an almost unknown artistic genre was not the norm. Even the first 15 seconds of the song, as simple and straightforward as it is ROCKS. No gimmicks. Mr. Petty was at the top of his game. And even now although he may not be with us, I bet he still is.

This song has a whole new meaning when ur finally getting over a break up

[@glowworm2]

I was born in the late 80s--around that time, I heard a lot of his music without knowing who he was--but really liked it. When I was in college, I was finally able to piece together that a lot of songs I heard in the 90s while growing up as a kid did indeed belong to Tom Petty. When my father told me today that he died, I thought he was kidding at first because he mentioned it WAY too casually and this was a death NOBODY was expecting at all. RIP, Tom.

[@matt8787fat]

That sounds like me i was born in 87 but my mom and dad always did and still do listen to his music i grew up with it and grew to love and enjoy it my favorite artist hands down and i have never been so upset by a death of someone i didnt know personally! Such a loss! RIP Tom Petty thanks for all the great music and the memories!!
