No I definitely don't agree! Lolol 😄! Seriously, the tags below are just the first one's I could think of but, I love music, especially on vinyl, and not only have I dealt with skips, but have literally had to re-buy several albums because I played them so much, Lolol 😄! At one point I had over 1,000 albums, so yeah WAY too many to list! Lolol 😄!

A Room at the Top of the World Tonight

May Prompt: Top | Word Count: 510 | Rating: M | CW: Sex, But Not Very Explicit, Language | Tags: Eddie POV, Established Relationship, Long-Distance Relationship, Rockstar Eddie, Love, Just Love and Softness

Scooting the soft, cushioned bench towards the window has its consequences, and Eddie learns them fast, as the movement jostles the hotel desk, and starts a chain reaction. The lamp comes unplugged from the wall, teetering, trying to hang on for dear life, but it's useless, and it crashes to the floor.

Leaving them in the dark.

Steve laughs, and Eddie says, "Well, shit."

"That'll cost you in a place like this," Steve says, but he reaches for Eddie as he says it, splaying his large hands along Eddie's bare sides, squeezing, and it'll be worth it. It's all worth it.

"I made at least a thousand bucks tonight, I can replace a lamp," Eddie teases, and Steve nuzzles his face against Eddie's neck. His stubble is rough, his five o'clock shadow having set in many, many hours ago by now.

It's late. It always is, after a show. 

And he's tired, but not too tired, because Steve is here tonight. Steve is here, and nothing else will ever matter more than that. Certainly not a broken lamp that he can afford to replace. Honestly, it's been a long time since he's been worried about what's in the bank. He's doing alright. 

He's doing way more than alright.

Because he's got a room at the top of the world tonight, made a thousand times better by Steve being in it.

Steve nudges Eddie forward until he falls onto his knees on the cushioned bench, his palms pressing into the windowpane, catching himself, smudging the glass, as he overlooks the city below.

"Look at where you are," Steve says, his voice in Eddie's ear, his head, his heart. 

And Eddie looks. Really looks.

At the lights. 

At the city.

And then he turns, and looks at Steve.

At Steve, always. The road keeps them apart, physically, at times. But he always feels the love. Knows it, deep in his bones. No questions. No worries. They're good. Solid. Built on a foundation so goddamn sturdy Eddie marvels at it sometimes.

At this thing he helped build. This relationship. This life.

This love.

Eddie knows he can reach out with his heart, and feel Steve's heart sending all that love right back.

So much love.

Steve smiles, and then does some maneuvering, some manhandling, until he has Eddie onto his ass on the seat, facing the window, Eddie's knees pressed against it.

And then Steve crawls on his lap.

"You keep looking," Steve says, and Eddie looks, as Steve touches him, holds him, takes him inside.

Loves him.

And it's a pretty view. But it's not the prettiest one in the room, and Eddie pulls back enough to meet Steve's eyes, looking deep in the eyes of love. 

"I love you," Steve says, up close. Grinding his hips down, slow, in no rush.

"And I love you so," Eddie answers, fingers pressed into Steve's back, into his skin, damp with sweat. It's perfect. It's always perfect, this high he gets, up here, on the precipice.

At the top. 

Where he ain't comin' down.

Inspired by this song by Tom Petty:

Which I listened to 17 times in a row. So, apparently it takes me nearly an hour and a half to write 510 words. I'm nothing but efficient, yo.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers - Long After Dark. 02/11/1982

[tpathsongtournament]

introduction post!

Hi! I'm Grey (@dylobertson) and I have listened to nearly every studio album by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. I also love clicking buttons on tumblr.com, so now we're here! A bracket of every TPATH song, from the first track of the debut to the last track of Hypnotic Eye.

The first polls will be posted in a couple of days.

More information/clarification under the cut, as well as a list of the albums included.

The albums that will be polled are:

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers

You're Gonna Get It!

Damn the Torpedoes

Hard Promises

Long After Dark

Southern Accents

Let Me Up (I've Had Enough)

Into The Great Wide Open

She's the One/Angel Dream

Echo

The Last DJ

Mojo

Hypnotic Eye

Nobody's Children (changed my mind on including this one)

That is a lot of songs, I know. Bear with me, okay?

No Mudcrutch, no Traveling Wilburys, no live albums, no deluxe versions.

Extra songs like Mary Jane's Last Dance, Stop Draggin' My Heart Around, Last Night, and Heartbreaker's Beach Party will probably get their own poll just for fun.

The polling will be in chronological order, with 2 songs against each other. Eventually there will be 1 winner from each album and then the album winners will be polled against each other. You can add propoganda in reblogs if you want and I'll reblog that.

Also... I know this probably won't get much attention/votes since the TPATH fandom on here is probably pretty small and the amount who have listened to all of these songs enough to form opinions on them is likely even smaller. But it's all in fun! Also, I need to find more TPATH fans and this seems like a good way to go about it ;A;

Official trailer for Tom Petty: Heartbreakers Beach Party, arriving in cinemas October 17 & 20.

In 2024, the long-thought lost 16mm reels of Tom Petty in Cameron Crowe’s first film, “Heartbreakers Beach Party”, were finally found. The classic ‘80s documentary captures Tom Petty and the band in 1982-1983 as they finish, promote, and tour around the “Long After Dark” album (their final with legendary producer Jimmy Iovine).

After its initial airing on MTV at 2:00am(!) in 1983, the film was deemed too experimental and abruptly pulled from the air. In more than 40 years since, it has become folklore to fans, musicians and within the entertainment industry - even credited with inspiring scenes in Spinal Tap. The highly anticipated & fully remastered “Heartbreakers Beach Party” is a fun, candid, fast paced, & musically rich ride with America’s greatest rock & roll band, a time capsule of the dawn of the MTV era, and a rare & shining glimpse into Tom Petty’s lasting creative genius.

This exclusive theatrical release features 19 minutes of fully remastered, never before seen, archival bonus footage and new commentary from director Cameron Crowe.

Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Vredenburg, Utrecht, The Netherlands, December 4, 1982

Recently announced — a deluxe version of Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers' 1982 LP Long After Dark! That is cool, it's a bit of a deep cut feast (in addition to a big hit like "You Got Lucky"). The extra stuff includes live-in-the-studio material, some outtakes and, most enticingly, the original version of "Ways To Be Wicked," which Petty would eventually donate to Lone Justice — a sign that the dude had way too much good material at the time, since that song rocks mightily.

The compilers could've bolstered the whole shebang even further by including this classic Heartbreakers live show from the Long After Dark tour, which shows the band at the height of their powers — or at least one of the heights. Tom and the gang sound tight and more than a little edgy; even the R&B and pop covers they play to blow off some steam have a definite sting to them.

Tom Says (1982): In the final analysis, I'm afraid, it's all down to what's on those records and what you put out at the shows. Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's painful but you've got to try and evolve your art because you yourself get bored with it if you don't. And once you get bored with it you might as well just be a plumber, cause it's a miserable fuckin' gig if you're bored.

I didn't see anyone else doing this, and I'm incredibly curious, so I thought I'd ask:
