This one hurt.
This isn’t the first song I thought of as a tribute to Tom Petty. I wanted to do Angel Dream, but I already have a nice little video of it with harmony vocals from my old friend Alex Matos. I can’t post that for open mic because it’s almost a year old, so I’ve made another post for it here.
As it turns out, I think maybe Walls is a better tribute if you have to pick one. I’ve always loved this song, but this time it was hard to finish. I don’t often feel such a sense of loss when a musician or other celebrity dies. But Levon Helm a few years ago, Prince last year, and now Tom Petty…
This really hurts.
