Todd Rundgren - honest work

[waypastmatt3x]

I miss my father who committed suicide in 2009 He sang this song and loved singing it to me before I went to bed

@orgyoasisyahoocom I currently sing this to my 1 years old, and i have to try and stop from crying as it was sang to me. I'm only 34!!!!

[nazznate]

Me and 2 other vocalists used to sing this in a band in the early '90's (Mixed Emotion). This tune always brought the house down. It's so different from standard fare, and such a good song!

[hooptyhee1]

Whether it's Michigan 2009 or Lancashire 1849, this song says a lot.

This is the new anthem for Unemployed America

[TommyHaegin]

As much a would love to like it, I dislike it. The singing is just too bad.

[DangledennyReecords]

@TommyHaegin The singing's not that bad! Get orr yr high horse dude!

[bry3921]

@TommyHaegin I'm not mad Tommy, but please. Todd wrote all the songs for the three Nazz albums and only sang lead on the third, "you are my window". He willed himself to become a singer. He knows his every flaw. He has compiled an obra d'arte that has no comparison in pop music. He's not the best, I know many who don't like him. It's ok. I saw the Acapella tour, us fans know his genius.

@TommyHaegin the problem with this is they're singing it in the wrong key for their voices. They're a halfstep too high. That's why they keep going sharp.

Well written piece. Todd is a master artist truly.

[orgyoasisyahoocom]

[helenadepp15]

love this song

[NewRiff]

Wow, and does this song echo America's plight right now, or what?

[esroberto1]

Probably the most underrated songwriter in commercial music's history. This lyric has always slain me.

[manumoka]

I have never heard that before. That was freakin fabulous.

[axeman1009]

Can't find a live "Blue Orpheus". One of my favorite Todd songs that I wish he'd apply the whole gammit of instruments to. I can't turn the song up loud enough!! Love it!! Axeman

[gamestationoh]

Great Video! Please post some Acapella videos. My wife and I want to Mary Lou and Michelle singing. We have a Todd show in 4 days in Columbus OH. Getting pumped up for it, we missed The New Cars shows... but we did see Todd at the airport in Cleveland at 7:30am the day after Cincodemayo last year! Talked and took a picture!

[thekidwhocameback]

Rundgrenfan,what I like about Todd here is that he is so serious, earnest, and sincere in his performance. But then at the end he shows that boyish charm which enables his audience to feel connected to him.

[bry3921]

If todd is god, rundgrenfan is at least a saint. thank you. I was lucky to see this tour. Typical of the critics they said it was indulgent and gimickry. So todd just went out on tour with 11 singers in a semi circle, and rocked with brilliant melody, harmony, swing, and soul. He's in a seperate category. We're lucky he used his genius and inspiration to make pop music.

[MstrSgtGaunt]

Oh, the memories...except back then we weren't afraid of 'Dirk'...guess you had to be there.

[neorunt]
