美國南方搖滾樂團〔湯姆佩帝與傷心人〕──搖滾榜冠軍經典──〔Learning To Fly／學習飛行〕

Songwriters: PETTY, TOM / LYNNE, JEFF

By Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

Im learning to fly, but I aint got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well the good ol days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

Im learning to fly, but I aint got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So Ive started out, for God knows where
I guess Ill know when I get there

Im learning to fly, around the clouds,
But what goes up must come down

Im learning to fly, but I aint got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

１９９１年夏天　美國南方搖滾樂團湯姆佩帝與傷心人（Tom Petty＆The Heartbrealers）發行〔Into the Great Wild Open〕大碟

登上美國榜＃１３　賣出雙白金　英國榜季軍　賣出白金

首支單曲是春天推出的〔Learning To Fly／學習飛行〕

在輕快的的中板節奏中　佩帝以他平實的嗓音演繹這首Heartland Rock

〔Learning To Fly〕只升到美國單曲榜＃２８（這還是他們成名以來首張沒有Top２０單曲的專輯）

不過再度登上搖滾榜冠軍

另外也拿到加拿大＃５　紐西蘭＃２８　德國＃３１　澳洲＃４４　英國＃４６

隔年專輯讓湯姆佩帝與傷心人提名葛萊美搖滾團體

〔Learning To Fly〕也提名葛萊美首次設立的最佳搖滾歌曲

這是湯姆佩帝與傷心人的搖滾經典之一
