(credit to photobucket for this picture)Tom Petty is my favorite singer/songwriter. He has been making music since the 80's and he is still putting out Cd's today. One of his first albums, Wildflowers is absolutely beautiful. The first single off this album, also called Wildflowers is a song I've been listening to since I was about four years old. The song is about a love interest, he begins saying "You belong among the wildflowers, you belong in a boat out at sea" He explains throughout the whole song his wish that she be happy and free. He wishes for her to be in a field of wild flowers and just be one with them. Maybe this girl is a hippie, maybe she's just as beautiful as a flower, happily blowing in the breeze and letting the sun warm her. Only Tom knows what he truely meant, but one can definitely think of the possibilities.
Tom Petty is not the average 'beautiful singer' he is not a big 'hottie' but he becomes that through his lyrics. He turns a honey bee into something seductive. Anyone with lyrical power such as that must have a mind full of ideas. I will most likely be talking about him in other posts because he is a HUGE influence in my life. Every time I feel sad I turn to his music and it just ends up making me feel nostalgic, sing along and smile(:
This song, You Belong Among the Wildflowers, i would love to actually hear this song. A good friend of mine told me that that song reminds her of me in some way. You have a beautiful way of expressing this song and thats how i know you love this song and are very passionate about it :)
