Tom petty wake up time lyrics movie#
Tom Petty has been such a concrete part of my life since I was 12 years old, when I saw him play “Breakdown” in a cameo in a bad movie called “ FM.” Petty’s cameo is literally the only thing I can remember about that movie. Word filtered in like things tend to nowadays, and there was some initial confusion about the details, but I knew in my heart that he was gone. Once again, rock and roll music was my great salvation. I was able to bury my thoughts there for a few hours while doing something I truly love. Fortunately, I love my job, and Monday, we were mixing a new song.
With these kinds of thoughts in my head, I had to go to work.
If the senseless murder of a room full of schoolchildren doesn’t bring even an attempt at change, we’re doomed to a life of accepting this happening again and again. A numbness that is most likely a coping mechanism to deal with the harsh reality that, once again, nothing will be done.Īfter Sandy Hook, we crossed a line. I feel sad and angry in multiplying layers, with the anger sometimes becoming a seething rage and the sadness manifesting itself as a paralyzing agent, pulling me into an uncomfortable numbness. How do you wrap your head around that? I could lock myself in my room and cry endlessly (and I might yet), but to what end is that beyond personal catharsis, and an empty one at that? I awoke to news of the worst mass shooting in American history. Like most people I know, I was already having a terrible day Monday.
