#JudgeTimbers#IForgiveItAll#SaturdayNightWithTomPetty
Next up in my "Saturday Night with Tom Petty" series is one of my favorites, "I Forgive It All".
Written and sung by Mudcrutch founding member Tom Petty, this somber ballad was released as a single from the band's second full-length album Mutcrutch 2. The CD was released on May 20, 2016. The moody black-and-white video was directed by actor Sean Penn with Samuel Bayer, the man behind Nirvana's clip for "Smells Like Teen Spirit." The visual stars Welsh actor Anthony Hopkins, who portrays a man reminiscing about his childhood as he drives through different areas of Los Angeles, including Sunset Boulevard and downtown's Skid Row.
Take my horse down to the water
Let him graze awhile
Take my horse down to the water
Let him graze awhile
I have not been down these roads since I was a child
I ain't broke and I ain't hungry but I'm close enough to care
I ain't broke and I ain't hungry but I'm close enough to care
Send my things to my niece Laura
She'll keep 'em over there
I forgive it all, I forgive it all
With her, I forgive it all
There ain't no money in this deal, I just tag along
There ain't no money in this deal, I just tag along
Some things I feel right, somebody else thinks wrong
I forgive it all, I forgive it all
With her, I forgive it all
People are what people make em' that ain't gonna change
People are what people make 'em, that ain't gonna change
There ain't nothing you can do, nothing you could rearrange
But I forgive it all, I forgive it all
With her, I forgive it all
