A Mind With a Heart of Its Own

from The Tom Petty Project

I do wonder whether the friend who’s treehouse he’s slept in is the same girl from the opening verse. There’s almost a Forrest and Jenny vibe to it if you link those two verses. “She never looked different but something would change” is later in the timeline, and the later treehouse reference snaps you back to a more innocent time. I know that this isn’t the case because the third verse is ad-libbed, but hey, it’s fun to paint your own pictures on the canvas that Tom provides sometimes so I’m going with it!Today’s episode covers the penultimate track from side two of Full Moon Fever, A Mind with a Heart of Its Own.You can listen to the song here: https://youtu.be/QwZwJPbb__gIf you want to listen to the bootleg version, on February 1, 1990 in Providence, Rhode Island, check that out here: https://youtu.be/TBZZQZvHuFEDon't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show.Follow: https://linktr.ee/tompettyprojectListen: https://pod.link/1580769475All music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.
