FACTS
One of the songs from Full Moon Fever, covered by Pains on their full-length version of that record. Premiered by Billboard magazine as an advance single from the cover album.
QUOTES
Kip to Billboard, 2018: "The original was made at the same time as some of the greatest dream pop and shoegaze records. And it works on similar premises of layering, subdued vocals, repetition, and texture. Lyrics aside, this song wouldn't sound out of place on a Ride album. Obviously, the way Tom Petty did the song was a lot more Americanized, and the production of ELO's Jeff Lynne was rooted more in a sort of minimal, hyper-nuanced, bright production style. But it's really just three chords for about four and a half minutes; the genius of the song is that so much builds and delivers without really anything structurally going on. You could play this song if you played guitar for three weeks, but you couldn't write this song even if you played guitar for 30 years. Some people just have the light and Tom Petty was one of those people."
"In fairness, I think most of the credit for this song has to be given to former Pains drummer Kurt Feldman, who recorded this song with me. His production ideas really transformed this song into something a touch more unmoored, and brought out the more melancholic feelings and strange undercurrents of the song -- ideas I've always heard in the lyrics, but couldn't quite convey in sound without his collaboration."
