True Dat ! ❤👍👌✌❤
that’s right
Who's in 2024??
As a so called Black man this is one of my favorite songs 🎵 of all times ⏲️ 🙌 hands ✋️ down period point 👉 blank 😢😢
I'm a three time cancer survivor NEVER BACK DOWN!
Damn straight
Outstanding !!!
Amen
Goddamn right, best of health from one survivor to another ❤
Me too ❤ xo
Tom, Ringo, George and Jeff. What a lineup, what a great song. RIP Tom.
I have loved this song forever. But I never realized Tom had half of the Beatles backing him up on it. No wonder this is amazing. Two great musical phenomenons coming together.
and ELO lmao
If I look at all the comments they would make my mum proud, she felt like that and beat cancer 3 x my best friend.
You know you’ve made it as a musician when you have Jeff Lynne, Ringo Starr and George Harrison in your back up band.
Truth
LOL
Half the Beatles and 3/5 of the Travelling Wilburys
Ah know, amazing isn't it.!!
my roommate dated Jeff Lynne for 8 years and used to stay at George Harrisons House.
A strong man stands up for himself
A stronger man stands up for others
Cody Peterson oh the childhoods
Yes. And this was Tom Petty fighting for musicians against the music industry...fighting the music industry itself with the weapon of music!
Wait, isn't that like some kind of oxymoron, like Military Intelligence and jumbo shrimp?
A strong man does not read the future he makes his own
and that’s why you hafta “teach”the bullies that they can’t bully everyone … with more than words
To all my Christian and beginner Christian’s don’t back down stand tall with God and together we will defeat satan
Look at the people in the video: Tom singing, Ringo Starr on drums, Jeff Lynne on bass and George Harrison on guitar. That's some serious talent.
Tom must be spinning in his grave at how this song has been butchered by a crass, tacky opportunist
@@johnclark6424 Lara Trump!
Don't be shy about naming names.
Me eighter
Amazing! One of my favorite songs.
Amazing band
I'm fighting cervical cancer this is my song I'm not backing down I'm not going anywhere with out a fight
Good for you. I hope you beat it!
Thank you
@@ellenhaynes6305 The Man In Black and Tom Petty are with you too czcams.com/video/7LBYrDx_784/video.html
@@glennwallace9203 Best wishes to you for a full recovery.
i hope u beat it. try carnivore diet. cutting out sugar starves cancer cells. Look up Ancel Keys. he has probably killed most americans in history when he invented the food pyramid. cancer didnt exist before he came along...
Got cancer at 19, shook the Devil’s hand at 20, bounced back at 21, and here I am at 22. And I have Tom Petty to thank for it.
Wow.. . Happy for you brother 😁 Glad you're still here
That's awesome...keep standing honey, keep strong and don't quite 😉 ❤
Shook hands with the devil?
Straigt on❤ i don t speak english but i encourage you
where there is ignorance there is the devil
This is my fight song. Whoever you are walking thru hell: don't back down. Jesus he's coming.
Amen
Nope.
Throat Cancer survivor, this is my battle cry
"You can stand me up at the gates of hell.. but I won't back down"..... RIP Tom
you know the lyrics....what you want, a cookie?
And George 😢 standing with Tom at the gate!
God damn, this hurts
I so agree!!!! Omfg!!! My own significant other was just like, it's no big deal, he wasn't a family member, but, I connect to music with everything in my life, always have...people, places, things.... it's my therapy..!!! And, I connected to Tom when I was just a kid. I'm in my mid 40's now... and, I cried like a baby, when I got the news on FB!! R.I.P. Tom!! Fly high..!!! :( .. we all miss you so much, already!!!
40% of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, 50% of the Beatles, and 60% of the Travelling Willburys ... only a few deserved this lineup on Planet Earth!!! RIP, Tom!
When you got 50 % of the Beatles in your band, you know you're great. I miss tom. But you know he's up in heaven singing with Elvis.
@@michaelleclair8278 Presley or Costello?
@@toddkurzbard most likely both. Both are great singers as well as petty.
I didn’t know Elvis Costello was dead…
@@jessovenden I'll set myself up for not getting it, but he's not dead
I miss Tom Petty
RIP.
We played this at our daughter's funeral. She fought cancer for 2 years. She died March 18, 2022. She is beautiful, she is brave, she is missed. 😪
feel so sorry for your lost
💔My heart goes out to you, and my prayer is that God will comfort you, altho can’t imagine the grief you must have after experiencing the death of your child!
God bless you!💔🙏🏻☦️🕊
@@masajhn thank you.
@@josiejones3186 thank you.
May you get peace one day, knowing she’s in paradise. But, I couldn’t imagine your pain 🤍
He's not gone yet, stand your ground Tom, don't back down!!!!!!
He was standing there trying to not back down but god is a rude person
My wife passed away 2 weeks ago and this song was our marriage anthem. I miss her so much. I ❤️ U and miss U so much baby, I'm trying so hard to not back down.
Sorry for your loss. Hang in there, she’d want you to.
B strong like the Himalayas
Very sorry for your loss.... Sounds like she had a great husband in you.
Sorry for your loss sir
Giving up is NOT an option!! WE WONT BACK DOWN 💯 ❤
A message to the future generations: "DON'T LET THIS SONG DIE" 💞👌😊👍
I'll never let Tom's music die out my kids will take on my music
One half of The Beatles, two fifths of The Heartbreakers, plus Jeff Lynne. How could this not be pure magic?
Wilbury magic
Absolutely true and an absolute epic comment🤘
And 1/4 of Queen, that is Brian May playing the guitar, no?
@@ohf27 only just noticed this!! Makes it even better...
@@ohf27 No, that's Mike Campbell playing guitar.
Well I know what's right, I got just one life
In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
But I'll stand my ground and I won't back down
Rest In Peace Tom
It's unbelievable a world without TP
One of the things I love most about this song is that the tempo, muted guitars, chord progression, and vocals in the verses all give a feeling of uncertainty, hesitation, and fear. But we won’t back down.
This is not a Heartbreakers song. It's from Full Moon Fever, which is his first solo album. Petty co-wrote it with Jeff Lynne. Lynne plays on the song as does George Harrison. Also, Brian May is not in this video, that is Mike Campbell, who had a similar hairstyle (but plays a Gretsch 6186 Clipper on this song and is mock playing Harrison's Stratocaster in the video). Ringo Starr only appears in the video as Phil Jones was the drummer for the album.
thank you
What a collaboration! Some of my favorite artist all together. And Mike is amazing as always!
swiftslick
Jesse Jinkins -- Johnny Cash cover was for American III: Solitary Man which was released in 2000. That's 11 years after it appeared on Petty's solo album, Full Moon Fever.
I'm sure Tom would be honored by your comment.
Only Tom Petty could get half the Beatles in his video.
You mean 1/3, Paul been dead a long time.
Meant 2/3, or remaining
While singing Johnny Cash
Half the Beatles? There's three fifths of the Wilburys here.
Good together
2024? ❤
A song written all generations. Petty had a gift to see things others didn't and make a song a song about it. This is the most amazing song as it doesn't involve love, a car, a girl, ...
It is a song about life and how to live it.
Dealing with depression and this song couldn't have came at a better time.
Keep that head up king! Your crown was slipping so let's fix it and make sure its sitting properly on that head of yours!
Hang in there, ask the Lord and he will bring you thru. His name is so healing; try calling, Lord, Jesus!
I wish you the best. You obviously have good taste in music :)
Hope all is good bro!
Feel that
the dislikes are from the people who back down.
Edit: if only my channel was this popular. Lol.
Definitely
or people who dont like ben the cow
YES I lold irl

Don't back down! Stand your ground.
Tom Petty. RIP ❤❤❤ THANKYOU 🇬🇧 England ✌️ 2024
My husband of 10 years died in a freak accident........ in a world that keeps pushing me around... I'll stand my ground and I won't back down.... I miss you so much JB. 😢
sorry for your loss
@@dreydonboucher9042 hot damn. I'm forever haunted by his absence. Thank you. Keep jamming !!!
Sorry for your lost ❣️
Very sad to hear music keeps me going too
7 years Ago my doctor told me I had parkinson's. I did as I was told and gradually deteriorated. Recently I've BEen Evaluated by Another doctor and found to have Lyme disease Which Is Curable . I begin therapy immediately And feel hope for the 1st time in years. "I'll stand my ground and i won't back down."
So, hope's been given, now carry on good sir, I'll have a drink on You!
hope you doing all right man
Hooray for right diagnosis and blessings on your healing journey!
This experience is all too common, unfortunately. I had a raft of crap diagnoses over 25-30 years until Lyme was found. My practitioners tell me I am at 90-95 percent better now. Yes!!!!
Kudos to Stephen Harrod Buhner and his awesome book, Healing Lyme (2015 ed) and my wonderful practitioners!!!
Hang in there. Best of luck in your treatment and recovery.
Good Luck , Best Wishes, Never Back Down
There ain't no easy way out
But
I will stand my ground
I will repeat this everyday
Rest in peace Tom Petty i always listened and watched ur videos on youtube i always wanted to come and see you live in concert when u was alive now since u passed away in the year 2017 there was always something in my way to prevent me to come and see you in person u touched and inspired a lot of people all over the world i just get over the fact that the world lost another great and amazing legend of all time i will cherish ur songs in ur memory u will never know now u had a huge Canadian fan from British Columbia u will be loved and missed from ur fans all over the world u will be in my forever thoughts and prayers u will not be forgotten rest in peace my friend Tom Petty
5 years after you're gone Mr. Petty, and you are still inspiring people with fatal illnesses, soul-crushing addictions, and other misfortunes everywhere with this song. Godspeed to you, sir!
Well put. It's true.
Yes u sure do say as it is love you
RIP
you do know he OD.!
@@laurieaylmore7676 Yeah I suppose he did but, this song has still helped a lot of people. The reason he wrote this song wasn't for drugs, it was when a deranged fan tried to burn his house down while he and his family were inside in the middle of the night.
my brother rob died of a brain tumour this song reminds me how he fought till the end
Paul Barnaby never back down.
Paul Barnaby RIP Rob, I bet he was a top man x
thanks carl your a top man 2 happy new year
Paul Barnaby you too bud
You know you've made it when you can call up Jeff Lynne from ELO and half the Beatles to be in your backing band. Thanks for all the great music, Tom.
Amen to that bro 🎸 👍 😅
It's also nice to see Mike Campbell a very under rated musician in his own right & long time collaborator of Tom's featured on that guitar solo.
@@jonbenjisnomore7935It is a great solo isn't it?
I got diagnosed with neck cancer and this was the first song that popped into my head!!!
będzie dobrze trzymaj się
Be strong wish you the best my friend
My Dad died recently. I know for a fact he loved this song. And I have this memory of driving with him and listening to this entire album of Tom Petty. I keep thinking of this song and am reminded of him. This is my cathartic moment I'm allowing myself. So this is for you Dad. I really miss you.
❤️
So sorry. Hope you're doing okay.
Sorry for your loss. Your dad must have been a great guy if he loved this album.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha 666
Sorry for your loss. Hope you are doing ok. Losing a family member hurts like hell.
Oh you know, just two Beatles randomly hanging out in this video, when we already have one of the greatest artists of all time singing. All in a day!
Not forgetting Jeff Lynne who co wrote and performed
"A PATRIOTS THEME" 💯🔥🥂
This tune stands to this day, remember The Swamp. Tom was right.
The fact you decided to search this song and scroll the comments makes you cooler than you think you are.
LJRay thanks man needed that
Not really but I thank you. I just like reading
Needed this
Yay, THANKS! Needed a boost...
Ty
Tom Petty' s song "I Won't Back Down" are the words I came to live by. Thank you Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. That's a great song.
One of his best tracks ever :D
Thank you for liking this rock song video. There are several versions of it and they are all good.
I very much liked Tom Petty in the movie "The Postman".
J.D. Estrada
Priyaank Sheetal
Thank you for liking Tom Petty's music video, "I Won't Back Down".
J.D. Estrada- yes indeed. It is one of his best. Another I really like is "Free Falling". That is the first time I had seen a woman performing on a skate board and she was good at it.
Betty Churchill I know, though as a kid I thought he said at the end Free Fallin Lama lol. The things we hear sometimes. :D
Two Beatles and Jeff Lynne? Best video EVER!
Jeff Lynne Also Did Electric Light Orchestra
He didn’t do ELO, he was ELO
This was my anthem for getting clean, the world will push you down, but I will stand my ground. RIP Tom.
He who is in you, is greater than he who is in the world😅
@@user-qf7ud5de9h Christ is King. God knows you.
My pops passed away yesterday. I was at the gas station and this song came on right after he passed. RIP Poppa
Stay strong
so sorry for your loss : (
I know the feeling Johnny, the first three months of my fathers death were not good, but things do get better.
My condolences buddy. Grandfathers are mentors.
R.i.p to your father, I'm sure he is in heaven looking over you.
Commented on many of his videos earlier today, but it's finally official as of almost two hours ago. He's gone. Rest in peace. Thank you for providing the soundtrack to our lives. Peace and love.
he should be SIR TOM PETTY for his contribution to the music industry,RIP TOM
I’m naming my son after you Tom, thanks for everything. 10-16-2023
I can't believe he is dead...My heart breaks, part of my childhood has died too. ***Cries***
Well I won't back down, no I won't back down
You could stand me up at the gates of hell
But I won't back down
Gonna stand my ground, won't be turned around
And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
Gonna stand my ground and I won't back down
Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
Hey I will stand my ground
And I won't back down
I truely believe you will'nt back down sister! ..And I truely believe that! Thyalwaysseek!
:)
I would sing this song to my horse when I cross country race him. He would get so antsy at start line. I'd sing this to him & he would calm down. I also sang it when we be in a flat out dead gallop. I lost him January 26th 2024. He passed away at age 38. I've owned him sing He was 4yrs old. So when I hear this song I get tears in my eyes. Best horse I've ever had. Miss him every single day.
Our soft space to trust.
This song helped me fight for my rights and freedom in a long abusive relationship, and im free now
This released recording; also fits, the 'Bravestarr' Dark Child/Zardeth soundtrack. Dark Child/Zardeth is a 2 year old snake 🐍 boy; with 13 faces on his skull, he's the evil overlord of the planet called New Texas.
Congratulations, Tom would be proud
@@jeffjackson1897 aw thats nice to say 💕 thank you
Go girl take no shit x
Stand ur ground!
Tom Petty died today from cardiac arrest.......he was 66...-October 2, 2017......R.I.P.
Jim Cushman he might still be alive
Chad Warden one hour ago was taken off life support, very un-likely
He just passed
but man did he fight. For everyone to be so confused about his fate for the entire day he had to of been fighting real hard.
I haven't been this upset about someone I never met dying since John Lennon. This feels wrong, so premature, but we are all mortal. He was the best rocker born in the 1950s for sure. So sad today. Peace.
Such a simple arrangement. One of the catchiest, toe-tappingest songs ever recorded. Love George's sparing guitar parts but Jeff Lynne on the bass is the main driving force of the song.
2024 I won't back down!!!💪🏾
The unsung hero of the band is Mike Campbell. A really great guitarist that not enough people know about!
You know your a hell of a legend when you got 50% of the Beatles in this song with you. RIP Tom Petty thanks for the music that will live on.....
nk5350 and the lead singer of ELO as well
That's right the greats Jeff Lynne and Mike Campbell too....
He didn't just get them for the video. He was good friends with them, and Jeff Lynne, producing some of the most iconic music we know with them, both them writing for his band and him writing for theirs.
McRico H Way to contribute to the conversation.
Staniel Das Boot Thanks a million. Doing my best. :)
Leider zu spät entdeckt wie gut die Musik von T P ist. Lieber spät als nie. DANKE Tom
Jeff Lynne and George Harrison.... absolute legends... you can hear Jeff's fingerprints all over this song.
And George he helped change the lyric to “there ain’t no easy way out”
One of the greatest Musicians of our generation has just died today! SO TERRIBLY SAD! :( RIP Tom Petty!
"You can stand me up at the gates of hell, but I wont back down"
That about says it all. Rest in Peace Tom and never back down! You will be missed.
this song always made me feel so much conviction to stand up for my values. His music really moves me!
And he never did. Pretty cool.
Rest in peace you don't know how it feels 😞
I agree with you Wendy ... He will never know how much
he will be missed. RIP Tom Petty .... X
Such sad news today. Condolences from a fan in Sydney, Australia. Tom was a great musician taken too soon.
I won't ever back down, thank you all of you for this song
I freaking love this song, I am in a battle against extremest in my county, I have had threats and I just listen to this song and it speaks to me and gives me encouragement to not back down!!
As a kid in the 90s i never understood why my dad loved Tom Petty's music so much. But i do understand it now.
I wish my Dad ever listened to this!
As a kid in the late 70s and 80s I didn't understand the meaning of Tom Petty's song " Refugee". Now it's crystal clear. Cool name by the way. I used to breakdance to Tour de France in 83 and 84. If you like that kind of music check out Giorgio moroder.
What a kick in the teeth. As a kid in the 50's and 60's, I had to wait decades to hear this for the first time. I've always understood it.
Here's where you say, "OK Boomer."
@@higgme1ster Not today

OMFG...I just realised that the backing band is Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Jeff Lynne.
Apparently their drummer couldn't make and George Harrison said he knew a drummer...

@@Wombats555 lol. I don't know if you're joking but that is so cool if it's true.
Google "Traveling Willburys". They did several albums together and Roy Orbison (Pretty Woman) is also party of em.
@@Thwarptide Man, that's like the A-Team of music.
COOL THAT TOM GOT SOME OF THE BEETLES TO DO THIS VIDEO WITH THEM
Anything Jeff Lynne touches is gold.
The world was a lot better with you here Tom. We miss you😭😭 Rest Easy Buddy🤘🏻🤘🏻
😪 yup
Amen!👍
one of the best concerts i ever saw. priveleged to have saw him
@Kevin Chisholm I would have given both my testicals to see him live. It’s a shame god took him away before I could experience that. LONG LIVE TOM PETTY🤘🏻🤘🏻
I still can`t wrap my head around the fact that Tom is gone... George Harrison too. And many other musicians.
so long, and God bless you Tom... a true TRAVELLING WILBURY... now you are in the great beyond, with Roy and George. Love you! Thanks for your music... Always...
This is the battle song for my son and I. We're in a custody battle. It hits home BIG TIME! "I know what's right: in a world that keeps on pushing us around MOM WON'T BACK DOWN💪" I sing this to my son each visit. He's 1 but he seems to understand...we won't back down!
Such a wonderful man and song. Rest in peace Tom and George.
At 0:16 watch the guy in the background on the far right. He's like, "Oh crap, we're filming?"
that "guy" is George Harrison...
Are you saying he's not a guy or
Couldn't think of a good name so i guess this is it LOL!!! George would probably have loved that comment!
you thought he was just incompetent fool, nope... just George Harrison...
Oh, is this The Traveling Wilburys? I thought it was The Heartbreakers.
Just can't believe this. So many great musicians are leaving us now. Rest In Peace, Tom.
we still have their songs a grate legacy

Just a simple little tune, actually kept me going during the early 90's and beyond.
any song where you got Ringo to guest drum and Jeff Lynne and George Harrison are guitars and backing vocals and it's probably a top notch song :P

RIP Tom Petty. My heart is broken right now.
Matthew Hubbard is not death
My heart is broken too since reading that he just passed an hour ago.
I was early, but not by much. One of the greats is gone.
Yeah but he seemed like he fought so hard that it confused the entire world of whether he was alive or dead for the whole day. That man truly did not back down. RIP Tom Petty & much respect.
Matthew Hubbard Mine too😢
That snare drum sounds like a fire cracker!
I used to love this stuff with my family. Missing my mama and my uncle, but I got my dad
Even though we’re in a rough patch right now, hearing 90,000 people yelling “I Won’t Back Down” in the Swamp will never get old. RIP Tom Petty.
I wish I had a legitimate team to help keep me up. But they all ran off. 100% of 'em. It's been disconcerting and sorrowful, but at least I know what it means to suffer and endure in silence and solitude.
