Remembering the legendary Tom Petty who passed away #OTD in music history

Released on the first Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers album, “American Girl” was never a hit but it soon became a cult classic and one of the band’s greatest hits. Tom Petty said of this song: “I wrote that in a little apartment I had in Encino. It was right next to the freeway and the cars sometimes sounded like waves from the ocean, which is why there’s the line about the waves crashing on the beach. The words just came tumbling out very quickly - and it was the start of writing about people who are longing for something else in life, something better than they have.”


Mike Campbell has been The Heartbreakers’ guitarist since they formed the band. Here’s what he had to say about the song: “We used to have people come up to us and tell us they thought it was about suicide because of the one line about ‘if she had to die,’ but what they didn’t get was, the whole line is ‘if she had to die trying.’ Some people take it literally and out of context. To me it’s just a really beautiful love song. It does have some Florida imagery.”
