QuoteI sang a Tom Petty song to my newborn son, my first, the very first time I held him, right there in the hospital, in our first two minutes together. I didn't plan this. Singing something gentle and soothing just felt like the right thing—the fatherly thing—to do. It could've been any vaguely lullaby-ish song by anyone. But in that moment, frantically casting about for something up to the humbleness of the task and the momentousness of the moment, I settled at random on "Alright for Now," a B-side from Petty's 1989 god-level album, Full Moon Fever. Just a few acoustic guitars, a few light vocal harmonies, and that voice, weathered and honeyed, dipping sweet and low on the word you:
QuoteGoodnight baby

Sleep tight my love

May god watch over

You from above

Judging from this fan-made video of the song filled with sleeping babies and toddlers, plenty of other frazzled and lovestruck new parents had the same idea. It was a seemingly personal gesture that turned out to be universal. Welcome to earth, little buddy. Here's a voice you oughta get to know.

What the hell!?!? I just saw this thread for the first time today. I've been at my parent's house for the last week so internet/news is intermittent. I had no idea he was gone. RIP, Tom.  :(

QuoteTom Petty, the chart-topping singer and songwriter, died in October from an accidental drug overdose as a result of mixing medications that included opioids, the medical examiner-coroner for the county of Los Angeles announced on Friday, ending the mystery surrounding his sudden death last year.

The coroner, Jonathan Lucas, said that Mr. Petty's system showed traces of the drugs fentanyl, oxycodone, temazepam, alprazolam, citalopram, acetyl fentanyl and despropionyl fentanyl.

Barely a week after Mr. Petty, 66, had concluded a tour with his band, the Heartbreakers, with two shows at the Hollywood Bowl, representatives said the singer had suffered cardiac arrest at his home in Malibu, Calif. on Oct. 2. But Mr. Petty's official death certificate, released about a week later, listed his cause of death as "deferred" pending an autopsy.

In a statement posted to Mr. Petty's Facebook page on Friday, his wife, Dana, and daughter, Adria, wrote that Mr. Petty suffered from "many serious ailments including emphysema, knee problems and most significantly a fractured hip," but that he continued to tour, worsening his conditions. "On the day he died he was informed his hip had graduated to a full on break and it is our feeling that the pain was simply unbearable and was the cause for his over use of medication," the statement said.

They said: "We knew before the report was shared with us that he was prescribed various pain medications for a multitude of issues including Fentanyl patches and we feel confident that this was, as the coroner found, an unfortunate accident."
