Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me

[laney50w]

One of the best songs ever written

[proline473]

What can I say, awsome!

[SunDrops4U]

Excellent! Being a teen at the time, I was always looking for something different and exciting. This guy, along with Bowie, fit the bill, cuz they really fussed over their looks. Makes me happy to to hear this again, ha ha ha, cool!!

[2012endofanerror]

Something about this song - it never grows old.

[bonbon4dondon]

As a musician myself, the beginning is the best part. It's fun to hear the unedited part and then the song we know and love. Makes me feel as if I was there.

[4444ThinLizzy]

My kids hate this song because Mommy loves it sooo much ! Goes out to Sabeth and Damean !

[borecleaner1]

Wow... Great memories of late '72 when this came out...was a sophomore in high school. I had the 45 for this tune and I played the living hell out of it..wish I could go back to those simple carefree days

[Longhammer37214]

@borecleaner1 We just didn't know those were the best days of our lives.

[ChannelBelongs2Scott]

Lovely!

[muppy1100]

VIET NAM... THANK U !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[stpauligirl100]

I remember as a teen, laying on my bed listening to this song, stareing at the ceiling and feeling Good. Love this song!

[fran3tic]

great song!!!!!!!!

[zx1400a7f]

Great song, but I swear I thought his voice was like Terri Gibb (Somebody's Knockin') when I was a kid!

[diefIater]

Where in the world has this kind of talent gone? All I see anymore is no-talent JUNK being thrown at us from this idiotic Xfactor and shows of the like! We need some REAL creativity like this out there again.

[nltisme]

@diefIater I do so completely agree with you and your opinion about the JUNK out there. I never tire of Todd!

[genxxxersize]

INCREDIBLE TUNE FROM AN INCREDIBLE INDIVIDUAL! ;o)

[spatrie520]

Love this song!

[evadwall]

Thanks for the clean audio post. The instrumentals are great on headphones. I especially like the trumpet and trombone near the end.

[lilredscout]

todd baby, hello.

[IceVikingDeathGrip]

LOL, who cares? Why would anyone who listens to "real music" (like this) eben bring up a shit-show like that for??

[IceVikingDeathGrip]

? What's that show got to do with this song?

[marrycee]

Still gives me chills........from a LONG time ago ...

[CattailsandRoses]

It's important to me that you know you are free....a beautiful line

[DoktorFranken]

A True.

A Wizard.

[stinkypants10]

Simply... brilliant. FunnyCrap, CubaLaw, rickw and Jqau are all so right! I want this played at my funeral.

[FunnyCrapGosh]

I listen to Todd and it absorbs me. I'm right back there. Man, those were special days.

[CUBALAW]

This is a song I grew up on and one I'll listen to until the day I die. Flawless..

[rickw1100]

Best version! Rock Classic!

[Jqau]

What a great multi instrumentalist, a producers dream, one man show. Go TR!

[relayer682399]

who cares...lets see you do better Punk...or how about lets see you just get there... i cant hear you

[MyDreamGoesOn]

Thanks for the video and of I have always appreciated Hello it;s Me and takes me back to an innocent , happy place. So many memories attached to Todd`s music.

[JohnAnonAnonAnon]

Whats with the synchronization problem at the start of this song? I thought he recorded each instrument himself?

[clayopalstar]

@JohnAnonAnonAnon,

Side four of "Something Anything" was recorded live with a band in the studio.

[heehaa99]

@JohnAnonAnonAnon it was a put on . AS if he had a whole band in there. He was playing with himself (no pun intended)........

[clayopalstar]

@heehaa99

Of course there's a band with him!

The first three sides of "Something Anything" are Todd alone in the studio.

Side four is live in studio with a band...

[TheB4t5]

@JohnAnonAnonAnon This song, out of a few, have a studio band. Guess what? The studio musicians who recorded Hello It's Me are some of the best jazz musicians. Ever. Brecker Brothers. :)

[charlesremschel7]

@JohnAnonAnonAnon maybe u should hit alcholics anon--- u must be 23 and blonde

[edwinf9999]

@JohnAnonAnonAnon That was the way it was recorded. It was planed.

[RacerXGTO]

woah, at :04 listen in the background "if anybody fucks up..." Some tense moments in the tank.

[clayopalstar]

@RacerXGTO,

You're right.

Damn, I never caught that before...!

[SSBNG]

thin bout it...g

[risavondog]

this was thoughtful and pretty--what happened since?

[Whyusaydat1]

This is some nice, driving a long distance in the night, listening music. Great talent. They say there is nothing new under the sun. Well I think that the time has come to bring great music and lyrics back in to rotation.

[crysjumar1]

@Whyusaydat1 right. I'm looking for the repeat button right now.

[JonP1961]

what happened to this world?

maybe i think too much, but something's wrong....

[maceonenyc]

@JonP1961  so true..

[njvixen]

This song still Plays so cool & smooth... xo

[thegoodsish]

great take after a shaky start!!

[kgmule]

there goes todd

[intensestrat]

This song went to # 5 in 1972, and I saw him play this and more of his good music live at Massey Hall in Toronto on Oct. 30, 1978. I remember the date because it was my birthday. When I was going to the bathroom I saw this tall, skinny guy walking my way from the dressing room area, and sure enough, it was Todd. It was really cool to meet him and chat for a minute. I've always liked this song.

[Christlovesanimals]

at least three zombie idiots roam this world...
