I've loved Tom Petty's version for years but I gotta admit John really knows what he's doing. He took a long shot covering this song and wooow did he do it. I love that even if it's the same song, it sounds like a completely different one. He adds stuff of his own to the song, that's what covers are supposed to be like. Tom Petty sounds excited about falling for this person, while John sounds much calmer and excited but still sort of scared and anxious about it.
It's so odd that an artist manages to cover a song and make it sound better than the original. Different, at least. I loved it.
