Just another example of the mountain of talent we were fortunate to have in the 70s. In my opinion the greatest decade of music!!! Todd is an awsome talent. What a great song. God i miss those days!!!!
Todd is a musician's super hero... The common rock/pop listener recognizes some of his tunes as RUNT/Todd and Utopia... But the rock elite consider him a recording, writing and performing ICON...... Just as an early Steve Miller Band was to the likes of McCartney and the top performers..... Heart strings in the lyrical world.. He owns it...
To my one true love William Frank Rydlewski R.I.P. Happy Valentine's Day I guess I beleive that I'll see you one day,For without it there is no dream.......
Got it. I recall back in 87 while in S.C. and stationed at Shaw AFB, I drove to Columbia and was shopping for music. I have a habit of going blank whenever I'm in a music store so I have to take a moment to calm down and focus. I'm hearing the latest by XTC (Oranges and Lemons) in the background and then I hear this song. The initial note on the intro was like a hit from behind. Hadn't heard it in years. As a result , I left the store with this Lp, Wizard, and Something/Anything. Priceless!
Smooth, powerful, magically melodic, philosophical, ever gently demanding, brilliant, overwhelming, succinct, romantic in its own way, strongly pleading, to the point... simply amazing, more than "just" music. It makes my feelings expand beyond words. I wish *I* had written this golden gem as I had been 'left standing here', with 'life's biggest tragedy'. Mr. Rundgren - if you doubtfully ever read this - you are a genius, and I cannot thank you enough. Many thanks to BlueOrpheus1988 for posting!
I want to have his baby. ;) Seriously..really? How could anyone be this unspeakably visionary & talented? I LOVE YOU TODD! Now & forever...how much you'll never know.
I'm telling you the truth when I say that this album saved me from more than one bad acid trip, about 3 decades ago now - playing it over and over again was my liferaft when my world was dissolving around me - it was the only thing that kept me from disappearing down the rabbit hole perhaps never to return... I will forever be indebted to Todd for the magic that is in all of his music and especially for this one, the one that I feel truly saved my life.
YOU DID A AWESOME JOB WITH THE SOUND. I SAW TODD BACK IN THE DAY. IF YOU LISTEN TO HIS LYRICS FROM MANY MANY YEARS AGO-WE STILL HAVE NOT ACCOMPLISHED MUCH-BESIDES DISRESPRECT AND A NATION THAT CRUMBLES MORE EVERY DAY CLASS OF 1976
@Edshread I'm so sorry. What a message that song was for you at that time. The dream/spirit goes on forever. You will see her again. Best wishes to you.
Some were just born with the 'music gene'. The depth of this man's talent is one thing. Listen to this, then go listen to something like "MANIPURA-SEAT OF FIRE". His breadth OF creativity is truly astounding.
I KNOW that feeling...he hit me straight to my heart last Halloween~thought my bra gad exploded (((tee hee)) <3 ;( 2010 in Bloomington, IN. Nice name for his guitar pic...I'll remember that in scrabble ;)
