Runnin' Down a Dream

<p>In his fantastic memoir, Tom Petty and Me, Jon Scott calls Runnin Down a Dream “One of the greatest driving songs I’ve ever heard” and you get his point completely. It’s a juggernaut of a rock n roll song but isn’t overpowering sonically. Again Jeff Lynne leaves enough space for the song to breath but adds in enough flare to keep you interested all the way through. It’s an urgent and riveting song; almost as if it’s an hour and a half action movie packed into for glorious minutes of pop rock perfection.</p><br><p>You can listen to the song here: <a href="https://youtu.be/Y1D3a5eDJIs" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/Y1D3a5eDJIs</a>&nbsp;</p><p>And if you want to check out a version from the fantastic Live at the Fillmore album, you can find that here: <a href="https://youtu.be/oafLV5GU7tY" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/oafLV5GU7tY</a> </p><br><p>The Tom Petty Project is a proud member of The Deep Dive Podcast Network, which you can find on Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/deepdivepodnet" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/deepdivepodnet</a></p><br><p>Don't forget to follow me on social media, like, subscribe, and please, leave a rating if you like the show:</p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyproject" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/thetompettyproject</a></p><p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/TomPettyProject" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/TomPettyProject</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyproject/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.instagram.com/thetompettyproject/</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6BLRWuuAR43zHpNKIirOw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt6BLRWuuAR43zHpNKIirOw</a></p><br><p>All music, including the theme song, provided by my very best friend Randy Woods.
