A Wasted Life

<p>"Completing the -Iovine Trilogy-, Long After Dark closes in a similar way to Hard Promises before it and Damn The Torpedoes before that. All three songs drop the tempo on each successive album but all three are more “mood”-oriented rather than really hanging on any of the band member’s virtuosity. I actually think this one might be the pick of the three closers. I would say that Louisiana Rain is probably a quote unquote better song, but this one feels just absolutely right closing out this at times dark, at times confessional album. It leads you gently off side two with a clear heart and a clear mind."</p><br><p>Check out the song here: <a href="https://youtu.be/ZxLBUJHVdWk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/ZxLBUJHVdWk</a> </p><br><p>If you want to hear the live (bootleg) version I referenced, check that out here: <a href="https://youtu.be/A0vfH_x-KJ8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/A0vfH_x-KJ8</a></p><br><p>If you are able to donate financially to humanitarian aid relief efforts in Ukraine, the Red Cross is coordinating a large-scale effort which you can contribute to by visiting their website here: <a href="https://donate.redcross.ca/page/100227/donate/1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://donate.redcross.ca/page/100227/donate/1</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/theto
