Free Fallin'

 “I'm gonna free fall out into nothin'. Gonna leave this world for awhile.” This is exactly what great music does to me. It takes me out of my body and out into the creative ether. It helps me let go of anxiety or sadness or anger or grief and just soar on the music. I know that not everyone has that experience with music but it’s like a drug in a lot of ways. It alters your mood, changes your perception and allows you to truly escape to a place that no-one and nothing else matters.Today's episode covers the first track from the iconic Full Moon Fever; Free Fallin'Check out the song here: https://youtu.be/1lWJXDG2i0AThe live version is here: https://youtu.be/VSKiosRdJ2kJohn Mayer's excellent cover is here: https://youtu.be/20Ov0cDPZy8The isolated bass is here: https://youtu.be/SnRpwbKvJkEIf you want to hear me chat about Van Halen, find that here: https://podcastwillrock.com/2023/06/29/episode-86-blood-and-fire/And you can hear me on the SeanGeek and FastFret podcast here:https://tinyurl.com/4fb68dfu and here: https://tinyurl.com/2kcnez64If you are able to donate financially to humanitarian aid relief efforts in Ukraine, the Red Cross is coordinating a large-scale effort which you can contribute to by visiting their website here: https://donate.redcross.ca/page/100227/donate/1The Tom Petty Project is a proud member of The Deep Dive Podcast Network, which you can find on Twitter: https://twitter.com/deepdivepodnetDon't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyprojectTwitter: https://twitter.com/TomPettyProjectInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyproject/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6BLRWuuAR43zHpNKIirOwAll music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.
