[rg2027x]

@4schutter we need to get rid of all "politicians"

replace them with musicians

: D

[andreaprodan]

Here Todd was on British TVs most respected music programme. His rendition is superlative coz he always had a real THING with UK music.aw him at The Venue, opposite Victoria railway Station MANY years ago. Alone and Glorious!

[MrCJWarden]

Nujabes got me here!

[MrCJWarden]

laat het horen als je uit nederland komt en je dit nummer kent!

[iloveyes1]

BTW, he is damn sexy. Any man who sings like that has my heart and I'm a married woman for 19 years and running, Bless him. I'm responsible for 500 of the views by now for sure!

[iloveyes1]

I was reminded of Todd by my sister and in particular this video/track about two months ago. I find that I often wake up in the morning with this song going 'round in my head and it's there with me throughout the day. I am also needing to listen to " A Dream..." before going to bed at night. Please help! I've got Todditis ;)

[bryandrewp]

EPIC!

lyrics

[NerdyHippy]

63 and he's still got it. Long live Todd Rundgren.

[kit1129]

Full moon, baby. Almost 30 years and I miss you every day. A dream lives on forever.

[dottieparis]

One of the best songwriters and producers ever

[rdsrich]

Still got it, ole Todd



[vivacious4u1]

Love this song - haven't heard it in years...

[sandinyourshoes]

Remarkable! Whether Todd does this song with a band or by himself as in this video, he produces such astounding magic!

This song sounds EXACTLY like what a boy should sing to impress the girl he likes so that he can win her love.

[SarahOlivia95]

this is true song we dont get this anymore its all rap crap this song brings me back to my teenager years good times

[hugosk4]

it's "Modal soul classic" by the way

sorry.

[hugosk4]

Nujabes brought me here. He made a remix or I dont know how to said it but there's a song call "A dream goes on forever" produce by todd rundgren in his album call: Modern soul classic. By the way if you guys don't know Nujabes, just take a look he was a genius... Also go check his song just write down: A dream goes on forever Nujabes.

[bk89nasty]

@hugosk4 it was on the fantastic plastic machine compilation ablum "Sound Concierge Annex Contemporary Love Songs " from 2005. that where i first came across it from. same version of the song. i just never knew nujabes had anything to do with it though good to know though, and makes sense why i like it.

[21javaman]

happy birthday wizard a true star 06/22/11

[dylan57ification]

To me, this song is about Jesus. A million old soldiers will fade away, a thousand true loves will live and die. But that doesn't get me through a sea of tears over life's biggest tragedy-the crucifiction. Notice how he says, "And now for the Benediction" at the beginning. Magical.

[DizziNY1]

Rundgren 2012!

[whydidyouland]

MexicanTigerWoods i salute you



[ecupirate79]

Todd Rundgren never got the recognition he deserved....a truly brilliant artist, musician and songwriter...great, great song!

[MGroundcontrol]

@ecupirate79 A Wizard and TRUE STAR!!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!!

[1957thack]

@ecupirate79 So true you! T Rundren is truly a multi talented genius! He could do no wrong in the 70's Hit after hit and where the hits just kept on coming along with album of the year way back in 1974. Utopia

[Banditman62]

The ultimate I miss you, and I'''ll always love you song.

[hotstuff1178]

You were Awesome in everything.....including my life Boode...but eh, u were not here to be here.........u just found ur place in space.....IT IS WHERE YOU BELONG....& my love is with you until i am with you,...SPAcE Is THe FInAL FRoNtiER.....u r my dream in my dream....until the end of my foreverer..............we are, "two Peas' IN A pod.....I love U always......!

[MsFinaddict]

My Dream has gone on a long time and I finally got to be in the room when Todd sang this song on 3/27/11. HEAVEN! I haven't stopped thinking about him since. The Ultimate musician of our time.

[orangeviolins]

The Lyrics and Simplicity of the chords say it all... And so very well within eloquence of a painting that only a dream would draw.

[kevinriche]

"a thousand true loves will live and die" if that aint deep shit i dunno

[bonzaibob2000]

I've been following Todd since 1969 and as a D.J. from S.F. a wizard/a true star was not the first album he wrote. KOME san jose ca.

[mancmuso1]

Had the pleasure of watching Todd perform this in Manchester on what looks to be the same solo tour way back! 1981/82 I think?

[celticlavender]

Beautiful!

[koji06201]

todd is god

[MrAlexAllan]

An impressive display of beauty and sensitivity. That's what a songwriter is all about, thanks Tood for all the wonderful music.

[emjee]

I think I was actually at this show! If I'm not mistaken, this was shot in a small club in San Fran called The Old Waldorf in about 1982 or 83

[MexicanTigerWoods]

Music isnt this good anymore. Im 14 and even i know that this is what music is supposed to sound like



[bonzaibob2000]

@MexicanTigerWoods Ata boy

[Just4Th3Lulz]

@MexicanTigerWoods >Implying music have a set of standards to become music

[JonP1961]

@Just4Th3Lulz

nope, just good music :P

[JonP1961]

@MexicanTigerWoods

Enlighten as many of your friends as you can, man!

There's still some left, wouldn't nail the final nail in the coffin just yet. Have to search harder for it, though, to be sure...

[deathbeast18]

@MexicanTigerWoods stop being a pretentious fuck

music is subjective

[MrBunnerabb]

what an astounding artist.

[zzyyxxo]

I have loved his music since I was 12 years old. It hasn't diminished. He is a true original.

[89smoochie89]

11 people like justin bieber

[megadora1969]

トッドの数多い名曲の中でもっとも美しい曲だと思います。美しす­ぎて、いつも切なくなります。

[precisionb]

Tod was my fav musician since I started to learn guitar & Bass1982

[furiousphoenix77]

Simply great...

[bmarsh1]

Stunning performance. This is such a poignant song, beautiful melody and words.

I've followed Todd for years, anybody remember his live album "Back to the Bars"?

Incredible version of "Last Ride" on that one if you can find it. Todd was a huge influence on Daryl Hall, especially that Philly soul vocal style.

[tattoosue]

@bmarsh1 : Yes, I sure do remember that album, and it's funny, but that's my all time favorite version of "Last Ride"! Truly impressive version, hit the mark, as Todd ALWAYS does!

[tmplcsw]

A master. I miss his music

[rg1ish1]

thanks todd named my son after you

@MrSKINFLICK how?>

[angelsuazo2010]

Todd, just the best of his time...

[Styxx7690]

My friend suggested, and I agreed, Todd Rundgren was one of the most under-appreciated performers of his time. He is really a great performer and wonderful song writer and singer.

[lebongo2]

Mmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

[dikless222]

I met Todd in New Zealand last week. I can now die a happy man!

[TheSterrs]

dude how could there even be dislikes...so ridiculous.

Todd's just a legend:) and he'll go on forever.

[MrSlinksville]

todd rundgren.... a wizzard a true star.

[dannytows]

Pure Gold as always...

[driski90]

This song appeared on the Rock 'N Roll High School soundtrack!

Great, great song.

[Pibbs1]

Great tune, great perfromance! Todd just gets better and better doesn't he !!

[zanylynn]

What a voice! Live & sing on, Todd!

[DizziNY1]

I love Todd, have I said that yet?

[rabbitntigger]

ahhh...melancholy...it happens to all of us...we are just human...i luv this song takes me back to a different time and place, things past some sad...but ...a dream lives on forever and sometimes that keeps us going ...i luv todd....thanx for this video

[Rundgrenrawks]

In 18 days, I'll be one of the lucky ones to see and hear this wonderful song done live. I'm friggin ecstatic!!!!!

[XGibbo]

Todd the master of love and pain

[MrBunnerabb]

[pook8731]

ALWAYS loved Todd and he was my very favorite!!!!!!!!

[ProfdevaDude1]

Awesome song, great performance. Yay Todd!

[toiletbeats]

simply amazing song and artist.

[decapitatespammers]

Todd is actually playing this, the Todd album, in September 2010. Seriously! Indiana, Ohio and just a few more.

[TheHadashi]

すごいいいね



[browncoat454]

It's called talent

[Gauleyriver]

[rudyfoolish]

pls can anyone post: sons of 1984

[UrbanGuerilla88]

@rudyfoolish done.

[rudyfoolish]

@UrbanGuerilla88 thank yooo!!

[tommyboy6267]

Sung this to my wife at our wedding reception. The Dream did not go forever, but Todd made few more fans that night. Still a favourite of mine, in spite of the alimony.

[mybigbluetoad]

God can be fucking cruel sometimes....he slammed the door on Todd Rundgren....

[USAisAntiWhite]

@mybigbluetoad God is man made.

[fishychips08]

@USAisAntiWhite It's an opinion, he's allowed to have one.

[lired70]

über Musician!!! Classy and Classic!! Simply Magnificient <3

[zwreckless1]

maybe his best song it just sings to the soul .. sweetness

[gravano2]

1 top ten hit , are you kidding me , this Guy had about 100 great tunes , great ballads and pop classics .Something is wrong here

[eclecticNhectic]

I'm pretty sure Todd's music taught me how to love as a teen. (ok, mom and dad too, but really, Todd!) And this one was a cornerstone. Great tune. Thanks for sharing.

[shelly10538]

This always reminds me of Virgin Suicides now.

[rabbitntigger]

ALWAYS GONNA LOVE THIS...BEAUTIFUL...FEEL IT DOWN DEEP...where the heart and soul are...thanx todd!!

[zephrah]

EPIC ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

[katiejo4261]

The thing is,.....I have joined you within your dream, ....years and years of ? You own a part of my heart that will never be set free. I've been living that other life in my head for what seems an eternity. A life time of torture, God knows, I'm so deserving of. I'll always hold on to this......"Guess I believe that I'll see you one day, for without it there is no dream."

[zephrah]

@katiejo4261 This is so beautiful.

[EAZYED3211]

[erinshaw53]

My heart had been broken .I heard this song and cried like a baby. That was Dec.1973. My life has been richer ever since from the music this genius has offered. I recently attended the AWATS concert opening@ Akron . It was like Mecca for Todd's people. So many people feel the same as I do,that there lives had been greatly enhanced through his music. Love IS the answer!

[caraphyllis]

@erinshaw53 You're so right - Todd is one of the world's great teachers and healers through music. What a unique and gifted artist he is. This song is just one example.

[harleyluvrable]

To JB and the very good memories of you and I listening to Todd years ago.... R.I.P. my dearest freind and first love.

[whoohoo50]

Some music messages are timeless anthologies, and this is a benediction.

[PocoPortillo]

The Old Grey Whistle Test was a great venue for artist to really get personal with the audience,almost one on one.BB2 studios always brought in some great talent.I saw David Bowie,The Carpenters and Roxy Music there in the early 70's.

[philexile1]

I have always loved this song since I first heard it on the "Back To The Bars" live album.

[77victer]

There is only and will only be one Todd.....This is a classic Todd tune.

[fuwmg]

@77victer here here!!

[mybigbluetoad]

To those who were around during the 70s, it just couldn't get any better than this.....songwriters like Todd Rundgren are just priceless...he was in a league of his own....his brand of music was a cut way above the rest.. you listen and just keep playing his songs over and over again...

[scodwyer]

My song of all time... I just wish he would sound like the original recording.  I absolutely love this song and message....

LONG LIVE TODD...

[Roberthenryii]

I second that

[45chatburn]

Had tickets for this gig and had to give them away. To friends luckily. Great to finally see a clip of it!

[shima19790927]

最高だぜ！！！！

[picchaz]

How could anyone not love Todd?/

[baggiewon]

this song kills me, i miss my friend every minute of every day, i hate this world now,can't wait to leave it

[smizzman]

The 70's was such a glorious time for music, great song !!!

[ogo57]

wonderful,wonderful song!

[roccotanto]

one of his best. and that's saying something. love this song...

[Gauleyriver]

For you my baby girl-taken too soon-I would have saved you if I could-the house is so empty without you-be at peace and in no more pain, and one day look across that field and Mom will join you-I LOVE YOU BABY-MOM

[field231055]

@Gauleyriver so sorry to read this

[kc01002]

@Gauleyriver i am so sorry for your loss <3

this song is also a prayer of remembrance fo rme and my loves ones who died. <3

[twesthu]

Had the chance to see his concert in Tulsa in the 80s, 1 of my most favorite artists and writers, producer,have all of his songs/albums.this song helped me get through my brothers untimely death. Hello its Me helped me through the breakup of my first true love & Real Man - when I really got sick and thought it might be the end of it all. After TR concert , on business, got on a SW plane to Dallas & guess who came on board with his apple computer, sat right next to me. Todd

[mike584]

oh damn.  How did that go??

[MrBeenastar]

@twesthu WOW! Everything in life happens for a reason, and you were meant to meet TR that day.

This song also reminds me of my wonderful dad who passed away from cancer at a very young 76.

I was 35 at the time and wept like a baby, and this song always chokes me up. The hopeful message of "Guess I believe that I'll see you one day" is understated beautifully here, to let us all know that, yeah, Todd knows we're ALL gonna see our lost loved ones again. One fine day.

[scodwyer]

This is my favorite song of all time....

[chelababy1]

Todd is such a MASTER & GENIUS.Overlooked Ignored, and Misunderstood.

[Jack1685]

Yes that song and that "Todd" album is absolute brilliant!

[alostpet]

Well, Todd's existence on this planet has been a huge plus for my sojourn! And, attending the Sacramento show,last night, of AWATS....indescribable! Todd is loved, and always will be! BTW...the costume changes really put him through his paces! If there is ANY chance ya'all can go see it...do so!

[ladiezroom]

great vocals and performance!!

[AUGUSTALLEN28]

Great song,Todd is a melodic master.What album is this from?

[crabshaw]

This is from his 1974 album 'TODD' . It IS available on CD & well worth the $10-$15.

[MrKingkirby]

as an 'old soldier' , i've no intention of fading away!! but why do i out last the 'love'?? i'll never outlast todd and his music!!!
