    One of Todd’s most gorgeous perfect pop song. Too bad it doesn’t get the recognition that Hello It’s Me or Can’t We Still Be Friends gets but I always adored this song.

      This was one of Todd's many bests. Released as single in the Spring of '74 I was a junior in HS. Should've charted Top 10. This song and "Real Man" make me stop and think about my own personal being. Just 2 of many greats this musical genius has created.

    "You're so far away and so long ago, but my dream goes on forever, and how much I loved you you'll never know, 'til you join me within my dream..." - Such an extreme and powerful song. Means so much.

    The year was 1980... I just fell in love with the first dance with Benny Mardones "Into the Night" I had the time of my life. We both did.
    Then life happened and it's just all far away now. I still love him.

    A millon old soldiers will fade away
    But a dream goes on forever
    I'm left standing here, I've got nothing to say
    All is silent within my dream
    A thousand true loves will live and die
    But a dream lives on forever
    The days and the years will go streaking by
    But the time has stopped in my dream
    We all have our everyday hopes and fears
    And you'll find no exception in me
    But that doesn't get me through a sea of tears
    Over life's biggest tragedy
    You're so long ago and so far away
    But my dream lives on forever
    I guess I believe that I'll see you one day
    For without it there is no dream
    You're so far away and so long ago
    But my dream goes on forever
    And how much I loved you you'll never know
    'Til you join me within my dream
    How much I loved you you'll never know
    'Til you join me within my dream

    I can relate to this song in a most unusual way. Earlier this year I met the woman of my dreams and we dated for four months - the best four months of my life! Awhile after divorcing her first husband she met the man of her dreams. They married and sadly after about seven years of a wonderful marriage fulfilling many hopes and dreams with more on their horizon, her second husband passed away suddenly. I met her about a year and a half after losing her husband and the first time I spoke to her on the phone she sounded so much better than all the other ladies I had met and dated after my divorce. I was completely blown away and when we met for the first time we were an instant hit! What an absolute sweetheart!! Well, I guess all good things come to an end - a very sad end for me. After much reflection on the second anniversary of her husband’s passing she concluded that we were not in the same place in life. She was ready to fulfill those remaining hopes and dreams she had had with her now deceased husband. She broke up with me. I was stunned and heartbroken, but realized that she was right about me and her not being compatible at this point in our lives. I also came to the realization that she missed him more than I could imagine. I pray every day to her deceased husband in Heaven asking him to bring her back to me so I can take care of her until she sees him again. So I dedicate this song to her as sad as I think she might find it.

    Todd and his music touch peoples lives in many ways. its amazing how many memories just come rushing in and suddenly you find yourself back in time. I don't think any artist has ever touched my heart and mind the way he has. I lose myself. best part is that it never changes. its everytime I hear "Dream" or Parallel Lines. they never cease to take me back and also think of my infatuation with Todd in those days. He plays in OKC in August 2017! Can't wait. love you Todd

    FUN FACT: In Sophia Coppola's tragic film: "The Virgin Suicides" there's a 1970's teenage basement party scene. 'A Dream Goes On Forever" is perfectly cast as the song that plays on the record player at that time.
    The movie stars: Kirsten Dunst, Kathleen Turner and James Woods.

    Although was never a big TODD fan, this is without a doubt my favourite LIVE piano song performance of all time! Totally Brilliant Instrument and Vocals! Saw him in Chicago at a small theatre with UTOPIA in the late 70's on a NYE show that was delayed by 1 day due to a snowstorm, but dont think he did this one. He was still great!!

    A beautiful melody, a little nostalgic and a good feeling. When I heard it for the first time, I remember being shocked that this kind of song would not come to mind and that it was a world unique to him. It's my favorite song. And this live version is also too nice to make me cry.

Today is March 12, 2022, by the way. This kind of music, played live and recorded and sold just the way it happened. This is for savoring, for splashing it back and forth between your ears. Yeah.

    Look at this gorgeous man...first fell in love with him and his unsurpassed genius talent in '78. I cannot EVER get enough of his music even 30+yrs. on. He is so very cool, yet proves himself to be humble. A 'REAL MAN", indeed. I had the distinct pleasure of seeing him in 1979 in San Fran while In the Air Force stationed in Merced, Ca. And then I met my beautiful late husband! Todd himself summed up how I know him to forever be..A WIZARD, A TRUE STAR!

    I lucked into seeing this brilliant man at the U. of Texas in the 70’s at Bass Hall. I was giving a ticket by a friend who said “I’ve never heard of this guy but you go and tell me what you think.” Well, I saw him a few days later and told him “Anytime you have tickets for someone you don’t know, call me.” Two weeks later he gave me tickets to see Frank Zappa.
