It’s been almost nine months since Tom Petty died of cardiac arrest brought on by an accidental drug overdose.
One of the drugs, fentanyl, also contributed to the deaths of Prince and Lil Peep. This is certainly the only context in which Lil Peep’s name will ever be mentioned alongside those legends.
Today’s random Tom Petty song, from the 2010 album Mojo, is a scorching blues track with a lyric that takes on new weight in light of his untimely death.
I’m slowing down a little bit
Taking my time
Slowing down a little bit
Yeah when I was a young boy
Honey my fuse was lit
Yeah when I was a young boy
Honey my fuse was lit
Losing my way
To something stronger than me
Losing my way
To something stronger than me
Scares me to think about
What’s on the road after me
Yeah it scares me to think about
What’s on the road after me
Lil Peep is dead?!? I had no idea…who Lil Peep is…or was.
LOL on the Lil Peep comment
