This song will always remind me of the bittersweet, turning corners, and moving on. I listened to it a lot around the time that my relationship with my first love, (an 11 year relationship) was fizzling out and coming to an end. I loved her desperately, and yet i knew we were sliding further and further away from eachother. When she broke the news to me that she wanted to move on, I didn't want to let go, as I had told her I never would. What goes up, must come down, and coming down is the hardest thing.

[@davidrider2264]

You are a wordsmith sir. Chicks dig that. You'll be just fine.

[@JohnM_816]

This hit me hard. But it’s a different feeling of self worth and peace, when you find yourself and move on.

[@coltthemac962]

Any update on your situation? It’s one of the hardest things to go to. It’s a lot like mourning the death of a loved one.

[@missglitteryone]

I hope you are doing ok

[@gregrobbins3840]

11 years is a long time. I've had much shorter relationships that were harder to leg go of. But the second your woman has decided she can do better is the second you've lost the ability to convince her otherwise.

I'll be 78 in a couple of months and this song has been my anthem for a long time...I flew in the USAF in Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos back in the 60's many of the aircraft I flew are in the boneyards now...I kept flying after the Air Force, I started a Cessna Dealership and flew for a very long time...I love this song...

I respect that, Chuck. My neighbour was a Royal Australian Airforce and commercial pilot who married one of his flight attendants. He's a tough 84 year old grandpa but his wife died after 55 years of marriage from Alzheimer's. I wish I had that resilience.

Thank you for serving a wasted war. I actually don't like any wars... My son started in the Army National Guards and has traveled. Pulled himself through college as I'm a single mother. He's a school teacher, now in Army Reserves & goes on drills. His grandfather served in WWII & received 3 💜. He had a difficult experience in service. I take interest listening or reading of our veterans. I like a band which Tom Petty was in years ago. My son is taking me there for my 70th birthday to listen to these bands as my birthday gift. Looking forward to it next month. Again thank you for your hard work & service. Freedom comes with a huge price & all veterans have helped our country. No other country has taken the sacrifice to help America. God Bless!!! 🪖 🇱🇷 🛐

This song is very special to me. My father was a commercial airline pilot. We shared a love of flying and airplanes. On the day of my first solo flight, he came with me to see me fly for the first time. It was the only time in his 85 years he ever said he was proud of me. And he'd been waiting his whole life to say, "My son the pilot". On our way home, this song came on the radio. I miss you so much Pa.

Music is the deepest and most emotional communication form available to us. This story clearly shows why it’s important that we always strive to create the best possible art and express the true depths of how we all feel, that words could never describe. Art is more real than life in some ways.

Perfect quote!!

[@zonesquestiloveunderworld]

Man the layered guitars just make this so special IMO, the more percussive steel string, that crisp, bright electric clean tone, that jangly tone during the chorus, and that delicious blues fuzz for the solos. The interplay between each guitar's melodic part creates this luscious cloud of guitars sailing smoothly over that insistent, punchy drum pattern. It reminds me of some of JJ Cale's music, the way it just floats along (e.g. "Ride me High", "Travelin Light", "Friday", "Carry On").

My best friend of 33 years (who has lived with me (platonically) for 25+ years) passed away 2 days ago (blood cancer/'Multiple Myeloma'). For the week & a half before his death, he was being kept heavily sedated (for pain) in hospice & was unable to communicate. The day before he died, I held his hand and told him I love him, and asked him to please send me a sign when he gets to Heaven & gets his wings. *ONE HOUR* _after_ his time of death, this song ('Learning To Fly') came on the radio...& the song that played _after this_ one, was "Learn To Fly" by Foo Fighters. Even if it was just coincidence, these 2 songs being played *back-to-back* at the *one-hour mark* after his death, & my having asked him for a *sign when he gets his wings,* brought me comfort. ❤

Amazing how a song can mean one thing to you when it was released. But now through the prism of time this song takes on a different message. One of Petty's great songs. Simple really melodically.

[@ericforster7396]

For sure. I was 17 when it came out, and I sensed the song's depth, but it helps to be pushing 50 to really get it. Beautiful video as well.

[@lockedin60]

@@ericforster7396 True. Songs can take me many places. Then and now. Many people remark what they were doing or what music they were listening too when world important events happen. You can't remember one without the other. I still get goose bumps when I hear Boy Meets Girl "Waiting for a Star to Fall". I had been in a new relationship with a woman that eventually became my wife. But sadly we divorced in 2005. I still love the song and now it doesn't bring the old negative part with it. One of my favorite songs is Dan Fogelberg's Make Love Stay. During an acoustic set at a concert he explained that the song was inspired by a book he had been reading by American Author Tom Robbins. Still Life with Woodpecker! The way he could craft a song just like Tom. Simple words, Simple thoughts strung together in meaningful ways. Songwriters often say what we may be feeling at a time in our lives.

Good music ,i with my sony headfhone and sounds so great

[@joebegly733]

I love complicated music showcasing virtuosity...but there's a lot to be said for 4 chords, great melodies (and harmonies) and a story. It takes a special type of genius to make such a great song out of so "little".

My daughter passed in June unexpectedly…when I heard this amazing song, it helped me to put her life and mine in perspective together. Learning to fly around the clouds What goes up must come down Coming down is the hardest thing Learning to fly but I ain’t got wings These lyrics represent what I’m going through trying to navigate my life without Annie. Learning to fly around the clouds to find the ☀️again.

Jeff Lynne of ELO said Tom Petty was the coolest person he has ever known.

[@petersteelenator]

Rightly said

[@fitnessatfifty]

Watch the documentary about Petty on Netflix, Lynne is probably right...

[@williamgibbons4418]

Just finished watching it, 4 hours of hit after hit! The most amazing music documentary I have ever seen.

[@mookie0271]

so one person said he was cool , its okay though because there are lots of other cool dudes around cool dudes have not died out

[@bcb2555]

Jeff Lynne is one of the greatest producers of all time .....I can't wait to get to heaven and hear all the Wilbuys again.......

[@ItsTomJoe]

Dear Mr Petty, our local radio station used to play this song VERY often when I was a child when it came out. So this song is kinda THE soundtrack of my childhood. Isn't it weird how a singer ""just makes a song" that means like "childhood" for others? I know you died a few years back, but with this song you will live at least another ONE lifetime of 50 years with me. Thank you. And may all the angels fullfill your divine wishes.,...

[@ItsTomJoe]

@Tanner Knaggs Cheers. Same to you. May you live long and prosper. Getting old is a privilege not everyone has. And never forget, follow your instincts.

[@Vod-Kaknockers]

@@ItsTomJoe...Bingo! The old Irish proverb. Do not regret growing old because many are denied the privilege. When I hear this song it reminds me of my younger brother and sister who are now flying.

Tom had it all together. His politics were a little fkd though. Most 'rock folks' are somewhat delusional.

[@jmcardle8138]

"So I've started out for God knows where I guess I'll know when I get there" Good travels to you, Mr. Petty, and thanks for all the tunes. You were one of the good ones.

My father passed away a month ago and a year ago we saw Tom petty in concert for the final time in Cleveland. It was amazing and I hold on to that memory today. We had a private service for my father and a man sang this song for my dad acoustically and it was amazing. I remember it alway. RIP to two great men. Tom petty and my father.

Tom Petty from five in the morning until now , I might end up listening to him the whole day. For some reason I felt like Tom- Petty today and don't believe he's dead. I got hooked with his music when I immigrated to Canada from Africa, Ethiopia long ago Thanks to Toronto's fm radio Q-107 for hook me with him and others before the internet. Today Tom is alive in my home and my heart thanks to the internet Cheers!!!
