Free Falling

I liked the song 'Free Falling' since I heard it for the first time. The song is sung by Tom Petty in his 1989 solo album ‘Full Moon Fever’. It has been on various charts for a long time now and even Tom Petty considers it to be one of his all time favorite song. According to internet sources, it all started with the producer Jeff Lynne while he was playing his keyboard using only three chords, where Tom Petty started to sing along with the chords. Finally, they reached to the completion of the first song of their album. They wrote the song together.

The song starts slowly as follows:

“She's a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too

It's a long day, livin' in Reseda
There's a freeway, runnin' through the yard
And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her
I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart

And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin’”

The song conveys the message of his level of successes in his life and it is a truly inspiring song. It describes about the sad romance and emotions. It’s a song that I listen to whenever I feel lonely and depressed. It helps me out and of course other songs work out too.

It’s ending like this:

“And I'm free, free fallin'
Yeah I'm free, free fallin'
And I'm free, free fallin'
Oh!
Free fallin'
And I'm free, oh! free fallin'”

‘Free fallin’ has a strictly impeded meaning, which the object falling has no force acting upon it and it should be coming down. If object goes up probably it should be ‘free rising’ or ‘free flying’. Probably, I would like to be free flying or am I thinking too much! Whatever, the song is great! And of course Tom Petty!
