Listening to: "You Got Lucky"

by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. It's fantastic. Listen to the words. You can feel Petty's fury. He's angry at his ex-lover, saying "Good love is hard to find. You got lucky when you found me." a very cocky statement indeed, but I think any guy who's broken up with someone before can connect with it.

Also, the instrument choice is great. You mainly hear a synthesizer, a second synthesizer, and an electric guitar. I like how they take turns playing the main tune at the end while the drums intensify it even more. You can kind of hear a grand piano right after he says "you got lucky, babe". It works really well.

Overall this is my favorite Tom Petty song, and I recommend it highly.
