See why a 1993 demo of Tom Petty's 'You Don't Know How It Feels' is a song you need to know
Petty recorded the sparse, acoustic take at his home studio, providing a more intimate, slow-burner feel. Listen closely and you might be surprised to find a verse that would later show up on “Crawling Back to You,” the heartbreaking penultimate track on, reflects Petty’s crumbling marriage to Jane Benyo, his wife of 20-plus years. “I’m so tired of being tired,” he admits.
“Sure as night will follow day/Most things I worry about/Never happen anyway.” Compared to its later use on “Crawling Back to You,” the verse here feels looser and more emotionally fleeting, woven through the harmonica. It’s as if Petty is tossing his hands up in the air, deciding to roll a joint and shelve the pain for now.Those lines are among the greatest Petty ever wrote, and he knew it.
