Like or Dislike: I Will Run To You
I've heard several times over the years that most people don't really like this song. I am not one of those people. I think it's wonderful. First of all, I'm a sucker for all things Petty, I think the man is a genius. Plus, this song rocks! It's not in my top 10 or anything, but I never understood why so much hate for this tune.
 I don't think I can really compare it to SDMHA, because I get such a different feel from each of them. But I think I can honestly say I like IWRTY more. Insider is a different story  . But I digress.The music - classic Heartbreakers from the first notes you hear.  Eternally cool. Love it.The lyrics sound desparate, like "I will do anything" My favorite (mainly for Stevie's vocal on "show some mercy hunay!"): "Make it easy for me I been lonely baby Show some mercy honey I was nothing All those lonely nights Showed me something If you need me I'll come runnin'" Their harmonies are solid - it doesn't take my breath away (like Insider does) but it's good. Stevie's very strong on this song, and she always sounds great with Tom.

"Insider" it ain't.
But I do like it. I went through a phase (when I first got WH) when I listened to it all the time, but I got over that relatively quickly. I like it but don't love it.

I prefer Insider and SDMHA by a long shot but I still really like I Will Run to You. Its a great song. I love the way Stevie sings the first few lines of the song.

I always skip it- Tom just sounds too whinny for my tastes- In fact he has sounded whinny even since- Breakdown
 I said something bad about Tom Petty , shall I run away now??I will always run away.... sorry Tom fans, ~eclipse~

I like it quite a bit. It's very strange, and I love stevie's solo verse, and, is it just me, but does she sound extra super twangy-drawly on it?
Yu-ew, haayd tiiiime...come arouwwwwnd...wull you please meayk up yoh miynd... I love the verse Paula quoted, too. To my ears, it's an unusual sounding song, the harmony is strange, and I like it. and, like others said, Tom and Stevie together is gold.

I prefer it to "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around". One of her best duets, imo.

Ha! I'm the only one who has given it top ranking!
I love every song on TWH. It is by far her best album. I wish she would try to be that adventurous (within the confines of a pop song that is) again... Edit: second person now, drat! Who is the other person then? speak up!

I love this song...their voices are gorgeous together...so 70's/80's with the synths...which I love. Her voice when she says 'come around' is just the greatest. It's what makes Stevie, 'Stevie'. NO ONE has that voice...

Considering that The Wild Heart was such a polished-sounding record, this one sticks out like a sore thumb. It has this random beginning that just comes out of nowhere with random guitar noodlings, which has always irked me. It just sounds unfinished.

Not a fan. I don't like the melody. I don't hate it but don't like it either.
