    I can’t find it on Apple 
    I could only find it by searching for Bad Monkey and then hitting the Album tab on the results and scrolling down until I found the right album. 
    Thank you. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I wouldve never found it. I didn’t even know it was from a soundtrack. 
    Right?!? If I was Ed I would be pissed it’s so hard to find.

    A Rocking version of one of Petty’s best songs. Very curious who is playing with Ed.  Organ is very pronounced.  Wonder if it’s Benmont. 
    Now that I've been able to track it down, I read the credits on Apple. It's the whole Earthlings crew + Benmont. Sounds so good.

    Was thinking the same thing. It sounds like
    it was FWIW. And being they played it on tour makes sense. Would be awesome if true and this is a slow
    rollout or an Earthlings cover record. Would love to hear Give Blood or Precious.

    I liked Ed's solo version of this when he sang it for the Oscars but this studio version really highlights his beautiful voice. It's nice to have this new studio version to listen to!

     This makes me think that for years we have taken for granted that Ed's instrument (his voice) has been used so often in it's (more or less) natural form and as such it has very successfully competed with voices that had been highlighted artificially.  

    I compare his young voice and now his older voice (in a studio version like this) to a young woman with natural beauty without artifice who as she ages finally adds a bit of make-up and hairdye and so still looks like a stunner compared to her contemporaries.  

    He could record a whole group of his solo covers and it would be great. :)
