About Tom Petty
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Petty
Thomas Earl "Tom" Petty (born October 20, 1950, died October 2, 2017) is an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He is the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and was a founding member of the late 1980s supergroup Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch. He has also performed under the pseudonyms of Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr. and Muddy Wilbury.
He has recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. His music, and notably his hits, have become popular among younger generations as he continues to host sold-out shows. Throughout his career, Petty and his collaborators have sold 60 million albums.

From slate.com
"Petty's songs are typically in the past tense; the passion in them was vivid and present and, at the same time, always already over. It was nearly summer, we sat on your roof, he wrote in "Even the Losers." Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon/ And I showed you stars you never could see/ It couldn't have been that easy to forget about me."
"It won't be."
