The Story Behind “Wildflowers”

“Wildflowers” by Tom Petty, Sung on a Mountainside in the Himalayas of Nepal


Tom Petty’s “Wildflowers” has always resounded very strongly with me.  A bit of a personal mantra.  I believe it’s important to make promises with oneself.  Sometimes you run astray; sometimes you are dead on-track.  But the personal mantra remains the same, reminding you to remind yourself to stick to what you know rings true.

I hope you enjoy this little performance of my personal mantra from the mountainside!

Recorded November 26, 2017 between the towns of Lobuche (4910m) and Dzongla (4830m), Solokhumbu, Nepal.  Recorded during our 16-day trek to Everest Base Camp.
