| Tom Petty – Free Fallin' Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I think of this song as an Ode to Los Angeles with Impressions about a Girl. "Reseda", "The Valley", "Ventura Blvd", "Mulholland" are all LAX locations. Specifically, on the "glide down" and "Free falling" . . . if you take off from Burbank, you will likely climb over the Hollywood Hills (where Mulholland Drive is). Believe it or not, the pilots will cut the throttle so as to not disturb the residents and you will, literally, glide down over Mulholland. I think the narrator is leaving her and has metaphorically combined the image with his leaving LA. |
