There was a feeling of utter kindness and civility if you were a kid in the 70's. The times were very family oriented and the music 🎶 was spectacular. Just made a kid like Me stare out of his bedroom window and

I've been on this planet since the 60's and nothing makes me feel as good as 70's music does. Love it!

"I Saw the Light", "Bang the Drum All Day", "Love is the Answer", "Can We Still Be Friends", "A Dream Goes On Forever".... and many more for Todd Rundren!!!

[coolmomjj]

I don't know if anyone else told the story of Liv Tyler(Steven Tyler's daughter). Todd was with her Mom. She got pregnant by Steven Tyler but he was so heavy into drugs & partying that they decided Todd would raise her. I saw her in a interview when she first started acting. She said she was 14 and went to a Aerosmith concert with her Mom. And during the concert she looked at her Mom and said "He is my father isn't he?". From then on she consider Todd & Steven her Dad's. There is a photo of Steven, Liv, Todd, and her Mom at the end of video. Y'all just missed it.

Rundgren wrote this song, which takes us through a phone call where the singer breaks up with a girl. It's a remarkably realistic account, devoid of sweeping metaphors typically found in breakup songs. We hear the one side of the phone call, which starts with the familiar greeting, indicating they've been together a while. Then they have "the talk, " where he hashes out why they can't be together and lets her know that she should have her freedom. All he can ask in the end is that she think of him every now and then.

Remarkably, it was the first song Rundgren ever wrote. In his teens, Todd was an avid listener to music but it was only when he put The Nazz together at the age of 19 that the young musician realized he'd better start penning some material. He attributes the sophistication and success of this song to the vast amount of listening he'd done by the time he wrote it.

This song, and many others Rundgren wrote at the time, was inspired by a high school relationship that didn't work out. He graduated in 1966, wrote the song about a year later, and recorded the original Nazz version in 1968, so that relationship was still fresh in his mind. He realized, however, that he didn't want to keep revisiting this heartbreak, so he made a conscious effort to avoid that theme in his "There's more than just relationships to write about, " he said when speaking at Red Bull Music Academy. "There's your whole inner life to draw on."

In real life, Rundgren was the one getting dumped, but he flipped the story so he was breaking up with the girl. Speaking with Marc Myers in 2018, Rundgren explained that the girl was named Linda, and she was his high school girlfriend. He had long hair, and one day when he walked her home, Linda's dad saw him for the first time and turned the hose on him - no hippie kid was going to date his daughter. A few days later, Linda acceded to her father's wishes and broke up with him. She did it rather casually, which Todd didn't appreciate.

Rundgren wrote the lyric thinking about how he would have liked Linda to break up with him: in a sensitive phone call where she tells him it's important that he's free.

Many years later, Rundgren was in Tulsa for a concert (this was likely March 31, 2003) when Linda called his hotel asking for tickets to the show. He put her on the guestlist, but never told her she inspired his most famous song. "Our lives had gone in different directions, " he said. "We had nothing to say. I also wanted to hold on to the image I have of her in high school."

One of the greatest, most underrated artists of our time. Singer, songwriter, producer, multi instrumentalist. Nothing this guy couldnt do…and he is still doing. Please did into his body of work. It is DEEP, eclictic, fantastic. One of those artists where you never know what might come next. This song was live in the studio with other misicians, but the first three sides of the album are just todd on all instruments and vocals

[Cadinho]

Todd Rundgren wrote the song, sang it and played all the instruments on the song. He did it all. So many layers, not only to this song, but everything Todd Rundgren ever touched. One of the greatest minds to ever touch music.

[nloyd]

The 70's is definitely the decade of the song writers!

[thesavvyboy]

He was a one man band. He was "composed, produced, performed by..." before Prince did it.

[raycewilliams]

Todd Rundgren wrote this as a teenager and it was the first song that he wrote. It is loosely based on a breakup with his girlfriend. He went to her house unanounced and her father answered the door. To put it mildly her dad did NOT approve of his long hair and his "hippie style" and forbid his daughter to see Todd anymore.

[colibri]

This was such a huge song on the radio in 1972 and '73. I like the line from it, "It's important to me that you know you are free, cuz I never want to make you change for me." Rundgren was so big in the seventies that there's an episode of that nineties sitcom "That Seventies Show" where the teenage stars attend a Todd Rundgren concert. Before Rundgren was solo, he was in a psychedelic band called the Nazz, and they had a hit in 1968 with a song called "Open My Eyes" that you would probably like.

Todd is a master songwriter, performer, multi-instrumentalist and super producer. This song is from his two-record album, Something/Anything. He played all the instruments on the first three sides and then the last side was recorded live with top studio musicians in his friend's recording studio. This song was from the last side. He's incredible and definitely worth check more out: I Saw the Light, Long Flowing Robe, Boat on the Charles, Broke Down and Busted, A Long Time and a Long Way to Go, Sweeter Memories, Dust in the Wind, Just One Victory. That should get you started. So glad you discovered one of my all-time favorites!

[teerat]

"Bang the drum all day" is a good tune from Todd and a great Friday after work song.

[martywilson]

65 years old' get goosebumps from first note

[carolp]

I don't know if anyone out there agrees with me, but it is VERY rare that I totally fall in love with a song the first time I hear it. You need to listen to most songs multiple times to really appreciate them. Love to you and the family!

[michellec]

So a little bit of trivia. Steven Tyler's Tyler's daughter Liv You know the actress, anyway, up until she was 10 or 11:00 she thought Todd rundgren was her father. Her mom did not want her around Steven because of all the drug issues and the things that were going on but they started attending Aerosmith shows and she started to get suspicious when she was noticing the similarities with the lips and other things and they did end up telling her. That being said, she's still very close with Todd till this day

[bradparnell]

Dude is an accomplished producer. He produced one of the greatest albums of all time, Meat Loaf's Bat Out of Hell. Jim Steinman wrote the songs, Meat sang them, and Todd put it all together in a way that made rock history. It was rejected by many but was one of those where someone finally decided to take a chance on it and it absolutely blew up. Today, 45 years later, it's still one of the greatest rock albums period. I think you guys have reacted to three songs off that album, but every single one is a gem.

[mrgray]

His song, “I Saw the Light, ” is one of my favorite songs of all-time.

[lewismaddox]

Todd had a way of making you realize how fortunate you were to have the love of someone extraordinary, once. You wish you could've hung onto it. Yet you realize that you were that one in a million that got to experience it...once. That glow is something that'll light-up your life until you die.

[kellylacroix]

Yessss! I've been waiting months for this! In my opinion, one of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed
