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/2kcnez64Don'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.
