Thanks everybody for your warm and thoughtful comments. You can download our studio version (slightly better in the eyes of some) along with many other songs we played together, through iTunes. Type in my name and you'll find them. Warm wishes, Heleen
I Love when People all over the World discover the Genius of Todd Rundgren's Song Writing ability.. Not to mention his Musicianship. I actually gave this version to Todd with other interesting covers of his various Songs.. Every year for 3 Years I did thus..I keep seeing New Interpretations of Todd's songs all around the World !! When the dust has settled.. It will be Todd Rundgren who is remembered.. not Brittney Spears or Lady Gaga .. Rock Love, Cherry XO <3 : )
Lovely vocal and piano accompaniment, but the singer is not faithful enough to the melody. in the case of Todd, one should sing WHAT HE WROTE, because nothing he writes is arbitrary or accidental, and it is impossible to improve on Todd's choices.
Hands down one of the most beautiful songs written by Todd Rundgren. This cover came closer than any other to the origional integrity of todds version. heleen knew what she was doing and executed this song great, piano playing was amazing as well. the song is just incredible lyrically and musically
My favorite Todd Rundgren song. Heleen's version is wonderful. She sings so emotionally really focusing on those incredible lyrics. Very well done, along with Bert's accompaniment, really hauntingly beautiful. Thanks for posting. I keep watching this over and over. "I just can't help myself."

Often todd's remaking are trivializing the original song; i enjoy to ear this, but they simplified in clichè a lot

A nice version of such a soulful song by the so much under-rated muli-facted talent Todd Rundgren

Nice. I can't help to not think of how much Annie Lennox would interpret this!

Hopefully I'll be getting lessons from Bert v/d Brink in 2 years (give or take) since he teaches at the conservatory of Utrecht ^^.
I had the honor of playing with him when I was ~15 he's such a friendly person. His gentle personality can be heard in his music =)
