Tom Petty - Wake Up Time (Official Lyric Video)

[@vanessa9937]

Tom was a light in the dark. A wise friend to many. A comforting voice to anyone who needs it. He always knows the right words to say. Thank you Tom. I know you're watching this from Heaven and smiling.

[@dharmabeachbum6330]

Beautifully said.

@@mitchellleblanc2372 amen!! Those that know that feeling is a blessing… I will say, I too am blessed. Tom Petty certainly is my inspiration.

I concur, beautifully said.

I am 38 years old. Tom Petty is the first artist in my life that I was truely sad when he died. What a treasure.

[@JustinHaglerMusic]

He inspired so many just by doing it right!

[@barbararichardson5480]

My heart remains 💔....

[@cloneofethan]

I'm 21 and I feel the same, Tom Petty got me through so much he was my favorite artist as a boy and still is now that I'm almost 22

Tom lives on. No broken hearts. A broken hip will never take away our hero in spirit.

[@DrugTalkTV]

Not ashamed to say Tom Petty's music can actually move me to tears, hearing his emotion and feeling in his songs is amazing.

[@Liz-nx1vh]

He is one of the few that can do that to me also! ❤️

[@stephendeiss7158]

Yes, sir. Quite a bit.

[@chadkcmo]

Makes me think of a close friend that passed. Not really the lyrics just the mood and the sound. Petty at the top of his game.

[@thomasharper4166]

I've been in tears listening to this song many times!No shame!It's a beautiful song that brings out the humanity in anyone willing to listen!❤

[@ThePineryGuy]

❤ Rise and shine 😊

[@jessjerz755]

One of my favorite songs by him,his lesser known songs are better than most artists best singles.

[@treehugger23]

Lol true!!! He was such a force!

[@Daburcor]

Agreed. Especially from this era, but not only!

[@tamimcfarland8176]

So true. It bugs me that most people only know his mainstream radio songs. There is so much depth and insight and feeling to his lesser known songs. Tom is the only person who can get me through just about anything. Brilliant, soulful man. 💘

[@DanielRUtter-os5dx]

Time for ALL of us “to rise & shine”. His music inspires me to be a better person.❤

[@mattymize]

Quite possibly the greatest song ever written.

[@cheriehall9066]

I agree.

[@georginawest3927]

This entire album is amazing.

[@dannyjames8883]

My late wife's favorite Tom Petty album. She passed two months before him. He was her favorite artist 💙🎩💘

[@buddhaofthebasin5600]

There’s a wonderful documentary on the making of wildflowers I think you’d like. God bless your heart

[@cardo1111]

Wildflowers was a masterpiece.

[@derekdokter4702]

Most underrated album of the 90’s.

[@gracechapman3412]

This song is beautiful. Comes from life experiences. Never hit the top of the charts but another gift that Tom gave us.

[@brianfrihart5043]

Pure gold.

[@chicka-rocka]

This makes my heart sing and weep at the same time. Oh, how we miss you Tom.

[@charlesdoherty104]

Same here , absolutely

[@lisabergkoetter7467]

Amen

[@caroljones9968]

Absolutely

[@stevelucas2398]

For those that don't know, Tom originally asked Steve Ferrone to keep a beat going on the hi-hat just to keep him in time on the piano but Ferrone in his genius, played the hits around Tom's rhythm on the piano. There was a looseness in Tom's playing that was endearing, so he followed him. He kept time around his feel for the song, so the song had a breath to it. Steve was rushed to catch a flight back to New York while they were listening to the playback and Tom asked, ‘If you were going to play drums what would you play on there?’ Steve asked him if he wanted to do a pass and he said, "Yeah.". Steve did one take and was like, "I've really got to go, I'll fly out next week and finish it.", and Tom was like, "No, it's great." Ferrone said the next thing he knew the album came out and there was his drum track.

[@mattroberts3487]

Tom is the musical gift that keeps on giving..

[@twoblacklabs904]

Thanks to Adria and the entire extended Petty family and bandmates for completing Tom’s masterwork. Such a wonderful gift to his Superfans!

[@afmartin2734]

Cried when I first heard it back in '94. Cry when I hear it now, except it has more impact today.

[@hellojello8376]

Love Tom Petty 💕 Such amazing Talent. No one sounds like Tom Petty. He was one of a kind. Thanks for sharing your gift with us all Tom 😊

[@marialane1805]

I can’t even listen to the whole song. I cry too much. I felt like he was my friend.

[@JamesCouch777]

A great song by one of the greatest artists of all time. RIP

[@noralockwood6447]

Yes so true

[@lunarpking]

Tom Petty wrote tons of hits and plenty of fantastic songs such as this one, and yet he's highly underrated. This is when people wrote their own music and it had feeling and meaning, songs like this are truly works of art in every sense. I may not believe in it, but if it exists, I hope you're in a great place Tom. One of the only people whose death has made me cry.

[@stephenh7336]

Almost 30 years later and I'm nearly as lost now as I was as the child singing this album. Only difference is I've lived the life. I hope I Rise & Shine soon...tired of waiting ;)

[@yearginclarke]

Same thing for me.

[@holliroll8789]

I wish I could hug this song

[@cheriehall9066]

I feel the same way.

[@markRunner8871]

I’ve never heard this song until today. Wow, it’s truly a great one.

[@jameshirth7972]

We sure do need Tom right now, along with John Lennon and George Harrison😥

[@sandyhalloran3235]

They are my three fav artists. The three I really listen to and cried when they passed

[@py528]

Tom Petty's songs are timeless....his music, words, insight, perspective, wisdom all ring so true and relevant in 2023. This is a beautiful song.

[@bethsimmonds6320]

Waiting on my nine vinyl album wildflowers set to arrive. Tom Petty will always be my friend.

[@mEnTL32]

We all miss Tom, but let's not forget that Benmont is still with us and needs to know how much we love and appreciate him!

[@lisabergkoetter7467]

Absolutely

[@twoblacklabs904]

mEnTL32....not only Mr. Tench, but especially Tom’s daughter Adria, who put in the hard labor to see this project through to completion, the entire Petty family, Mike Campbell and all the Heartbreakers past and present, and producer Rick Rubin, who unlocked his vault tapes for this Wildflowers masterwork.

[@istein8415]

My first comment after many years on youtube, but just HAD TO SAY; TOM, I LOVE YOU and MISS YOU. MY FAVORITE.

[@ronniehutchinson9297]

Truly a voice of comfort but also hard love. Honey and whiskey. Grateful I saw him live before he passed 🙏

[@brianfrihart5043]

Saw him many times. Always a great show and Tom was always on his game. One of the best “in concert” bands I’ve ever heard. And that’s saying something!

Everything he has EVER done is SO WONDERFUL 💞

[@michaelhooten5151]

I bought this record when it first came out and I could swear it had two records. I'll have to dig it out and see. I always thought it was a double album. I use to smoke out and lay on the floor and crank it up and listen in amazement how great every song was.

[@michaelac.griffin8874]

One of my favorites of his. And completely apropos this time we are in.

Nice to hear his voice again

[@johntitorii6676]

I just want to hug him

[@tspwill1]

I sat in my car and this came on just when I got the news my brother wasn’t going to make it. Kinda of a foreshadow… it was wake up time for him the next morning. Evolving and going to that special place - that a spirit like his was destined to go. All in time Thank you Tom … helps the pain 💕

[@kevinfox780]

Absolutely beautiful

[@Liz-nx1vh]

Still listening ,it's wake up time rise and shine he is a true American dream

[@beenderedonedat]

This song followed me since I was 13. Good guidance, I love Tom. Now I wrote a bestselling book and have to give Tom and this particular record the credit ❤

[@brianfrihart5043]

Good for you! Thank you Tom for giving beenderedonedat the inspiration. Only wish I knew what book he wrote. As an avid reader would love to see what went from music to paper.

[@scottharrison9083]

One of the greatest songwriters ever.

[@kayw.4689]

Beautiful but sad song. Reminds me of my dad saying "Rise and Shine".... RIP Dad and Tom

[@susanmurrell635]

Yes....me too. And I' m crying. Just saw a bit of him performing this song last nite right before I fell asleep.....and I thought I 've got to find this song and play it when I get up..... and amazingly it just came up on my phone, without even looking for it. He shared his hurt and feelings with us.... so he would help us "to wake up...and rise, and shine".....because that's what he had to do. He knew we'd have to do the same at some points in our lives. Miss him so much. My Dad went at 55 and Tom at 66....both way too young. Still loving ❤️ them though they 're gone. Sometimes we wake up and rise....but sometimes it's hard to shine.

[@kayw.4689]

@@susanmurrell635 So true. Every time I hear the "rise and shine" the memory of my dad's voice comes into my mind with sadness... I met Tom when he was starting out and I didn't realize he was performing at the Tomorrow Club in Youngstown. His songs are great and fun... Left us way too young..

[@a8845343]

I have all of Tom's albums so that's a few. I revisited Wall Flowers the summer of 2018 and the CD has not left my truck since....

[@VickiFourie1]

You follow your feelings, you follow your dreams You follow the leader into the trees And what's in there waiting, neither one of us knows You gotta keep one eye open the further you go You never dreamed you'd go down on one knee, but now Who could have seen, you'd be so hard to please somehow You feel like a poor boy, a long way from home You're just a poor boy, a long way from home And it's wake up time Time to open your eyes And rise and shine You spend your life dreaming, running 'round in a trance You hang out forever and still miss the dance And if you get lucky, you might find someone To help you get over the pain that will come Yeah, you were so cool back in high school, what happened? You were so sure not to have your spirits dampened But you're just a poor boy alone in this world You're just a poor boy alone in this world And it's wake up time Time to open your eyes And rise and shine Well, if he gets lucky, a boy finds a girl To help him to shoulder the pain in this world And if you follow your feelings And you follow your dreams You might find the forest there in the trees Yeah, you'll be alright, it's just gonna take time, but now Who could have seen you'd be so hard to please somehow You're just a poor boy a long way from home You're just a poor boy a long way from home And it's wake up time Time to open up your eyes And rise and shine 'Cause it's wake up time Time to open your eyes And rise and shine

When Tom wrote this, the producer of wildflowers, Rick Rubin told him to write a song on piano like billy Joel or Elton John. He wrote a song on piano like Tom Petty. Rick later gave the same advice to Rivers Cuomo, he wrote the song Haunt you every day.
