Todd Rundgren | Bluebird is Dead

[sbringe]

Interesting rendition of this song, I like it but wouldn't be surprised to hear it in an elevator:)

[DzynezInSoul]

Beautiful song & video! Glad I finally got to watch it! ☺

[0marigolds]

@DzynezInSoul thank you - peace ;.)

[mcfoghatvegas]

@0marigolds What is this from?

[0marigolds]

@mcfoghatvegas "Lynne Me Your Ears - Tribute to Jeff Lynn"

[LMmccallL57]

Love this song!

Today marks the first day of my hearing it, and it's an instant favorite. :D

Great for long drives or just relaxing in a hammock....backyard or beach.

Thanks so much 0marigolds for sharing!

[0marigolds]

@LMmccallL57 glad you enjoyed it, Todd is excellent ;.)

[gudatine]

I just love Todd's T-chords.. NOBODY DOES IT BETTER!!!

[AbePagodaCLC]

Todd totally Rundgrenized the shit out of this song. Awesome!

[0marigolds]

@AbePagodaCLC sho' nuff! lol

[lovintonal]

two great talents

[RamonaFromPomona]

Beautiful...

[mike584]

This is so pretty. I'd kill to at least have a tenth of his talents. He can take any song, put his own twist on it, and it will STILL be amazing. That is the mark of a true musician.

[JeansGlobalVillage]

This is very cool. Thanks for posting!

[YerkesDodsonCurve]

@ricknall. I understand loving an artist to pieces. and I believe Jeff Lynne is a great musician. But this version in no way "sullies" his name. Good lord. Todd is a genius in his own right and he was invited to participate on this album devoted to Jeff. Time to expand your views my friend. And in the spirit of expanding, I've been listening to Jeff's stuff all night. Wow. gotta love him too - so different than Todd but fabulous in his own right.

[VenusGrnys]

with a twist? hahahaha.....great job!!!!!!

[0marigolds]

@VenusGrnys whoo, wonder how much flack I would get for Todd covering Todd? Hmmmm......ideas run amok in my head...many thanks for your kind words ;.)

[VenusGrnys]

@0marigolds interesting thought though, haha........might even have been done at some point for all we know....might be worth checking to see if it's already been done. Good point indeed! ;o)

[mus1cat]

Has a nice jazzy sound to it just as the original is Beatlesque. As I'm quite familiar with the original it was a pleasant surprise to hear this. Both are good, fit different moods.

Thanks for posting.

[0marigolds]

@mus1cat thanks for your comment. I agree, both versions fit entirely different moods.

[chelababy1]

@0marigolds Peace back at Ya. !!. ricknall.. Version is Great. !!. No Disrespect to Jeff Lynne.. He's a Genius.. and Just LOVE ELO.. But Todd Rundgren does do something SPECIAL to this song.. if YE BUT OPEN YOUR EYES ( and Ears) without Bias about a "COVER" and just SEE !! XO <3 Rock Love, Cherry XO <3

[ricknall]

Sorry Folks but this is not good...Jeff Lynne is a genius and this just sullies his and ELO'S name..I mean whats with the bloomin drum beat on this..its so bad its laughable..I am all for cover songs and some can be brilliant...but this!!!...please NO MORE MR Rundgren

[0marigolds]

@ricknall No disrespect intended to any individual, I did expect negative commentary for an ELO cover earlier on, not sure why you sullied your ears to post the comment twice if you disdain it so??? All good things to you in the future, peace ;.)

[0marigolds]

@chelababy1 Todd has amazing talent and such great energy, thanks for your comment - peace ;.)

[EltonTom7]

Alright! Been looking for this song on here for a while. Love Jeff Lynne, but Todd does this song better. Almost made me cry the first time I heard it, and I don't consider myself to be much of a sissy.

[0marigolds]

@EltonTom7 Todd's version is in another realm, all due respect to ELO. First time I heard this it felt like I had been stun gunned with magic - it's human to show joy through tears, never means you are a sissy, imho! Many thanks - peace ;.)

[dbeater1]

Very nice Josephine...never heard of him..nice voice.

[0marigolds]

@dbeater1 Todd is famous for the 70s classic Hello It's Me and also the song "I don't want to work, I want to bang on the drum all day" - thanks dbeater, have a great day

[AneetaThunderbird]

Thunderbird is digging Bluebird (smile).

[0marigolds]

@AneetaThunderbird hoping YOU would groove on this - fly high t-bird, many thanks sister ;.)

[xyzkerry]

Underated artist - great video, what more can anyone say!

[0marigolds]

@xyzkerry Todd is essential listening in my world, but I did have to explain to a dear friend who he was recently, now it finally makes sense to them why I leave phone messages singing "hello it's me" lol!!!! Thanks

[truck2112yes]

I really like this one...wish I could have listened to while I was working out earlier.

[0marigolds]

@truck2112yes thanks David, this song has great energy, both by Todd and ELO
