Tom Petty (NovemConversations With Tom Petty) I pretty much had it when he came aboard." Gave them a little bit more exotic treatment under the melody. And we added that in, and we altered a couple of chords. And I had it pretty well written, and then I played it for Jeff, and he helped me, and added a few ideas too.
