Despite the gory story behind it, Free Fallin’ (sung by Tom Petty in his characteristic throaty voice) remains one of my all-time favorite songs.
It’s about a “good” girl, in love with a “bad” boy, who doesn’t even miss her, despite breaking her heart.
The song is picturized on troubled skateboarder, Mark Gator Rogowski and his then girlfriend, Brandi McClain.
After Brandi put an end to their tempestuous relationship, a battling-his-addiction-to-alcohol Gator turned into an obsessively jealous ex, and on one fateful day, assaulted and bludgeoned Brandi’s good friend, Jessica Bergsten to death, venting all his anger into her. Shudder.
But the song is really something.
