CommentsRecorded and mixed at: Gone Gator One, Los Angeles, CA (MCA Records) This song is to Tom Petty what "Let it Be" is to Paul McCartney, a sort of prayer that came in the night. Petty's mother had died a couple of years earlier, during the making of Hard Promises. "It took me some time to deal with it," he says. "I think that song was the most therapeutic way I finally dealt with it. It was a personal song in many ways," Petty says. "Even the jail cell stuff - someone I knew had been through that. I was so happy when I wrote that song, it materialized in the middle of the night. I actually found the tape of me writing the song, although I'm so far off the mike you can't hear me singing very well. I was at the piano and it was as late as 4 a.m. and suddenly this song started to just materialize. The bridge just chilled me. I was so jazzed by that song that I actually went up and woke Jane at about 5 and said, 'Listen to this, wake up and hear this song.' She said, 'Oh, that's nice, dear' and went back to sleep."
