Pop Song 205 'Learning to Fly' Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 1991

It was written in 1991 by Tom Petty and his writing partner Jeff Lynne for the album Into the Great Wide Open. The entire song is based on only four simple chords, (F, C, A minor, and G).

Petty's Traveling Wilburys bandmate Bob Dylan covered the song live in concert in Broomfield, Colorado on October 21, 2017, one day after what would have been Petty's 67th birthday.[11] Critic Jack Whatley later cited the performance as one of the seven best covers of a Petty song
