This song reminds me of Lisa, my first (in a series) true love. I met her in high school when I was a junior and she was a freshman. She read about French kissing in Cosmo and decided to try it out on lucky ol' me! It's amazing the memories songs can fuel.
Too bad... for those of you that were'nt around in the 70's.This literally was an epic time for music. Today's stuff I wouldn' even call music.EPIC ...is just slang nowaday!!
Todd Rundgren knew when his life changed enough with fame to begin producing rather than continue to song write. Good move and a great musician and human being. Love the fly-tying turkey feathers on his eyebrows. David Bowie's inspiration.
@Getrealpeeps Mark 'Moogy' Klingman was the one of the keyboard/synth players in the original version of Todd' s group Utopia, and was a long standing musical collaborator. They met when they were about 18-19. Moogy died in November after a battle with cancer.
Heard this song in 1968 when todd was with a goup called Nazz. Was a great song then. I usually do not like covers or remakes of a song but this version from Something/Anything? is so much better. Great song.
@ronshirt - It's not a glitch, just YouTube's nannystate-worthy heavy-handed methodology for preventing spam. Which is nowhere even NEAR effective, by the way...
There is a beautiful place in my mind: a hiding place, full of the rich texture, color, emotion and wonder of ephemeral youth....a comfortable hopeful sunny place.
@roadtec3 Yes it would. Even though now we are so much wiser then back then, I think we lost something along the way. In high school I never felt more alive and free then at any other time in my life.
I know for alot of people who were alive when this song came out it means something different to each of them, but for me (someone born in the early 90's) this song will always remind me of "That 70's Show" one of the greatest shows (in my opinion) that was around.
I'm with you there. When I saw the Pilot ep, along with the credits for that ep and the final ep's credits, I can't help but lookin back on those as some of the greatest times of my life.
thanks for uploading this! I love this song, i like how artists used to really get in the studio with eachother and make meaningful, just soulful music :)
