- The Night the Carousel Burned Down from Something/Anything?
LYRICS:
Weren't you there when the carousel burnt down?
The fire and confusion, the smoke and the sound
I swear you there when the carousel burnt down
We were all around
The rings charred and tarnished all over the ground
And our heads hung down
And we all left town
The next day
The children all cried when the carousel burnt down
The old ladies sighed as the carousel burnt down
The rest of us lied as the carousel burnt down
And the flames did fly
The pipes steamed and shrieked out a blazing goodbye
As the boiler died
And they melted down
The midway
And we all left town the next day
And we all left town the next day
And we all left town the next day
And we all left town the next day
And we all left town the next day

The nuances of this song are amazing. A tragedy with no accountability.
So sad that this man has never gotten the recognition he deserves, except that is, by true
musical enthusiasts! Todd, you rock!
lol, You nailed it. I pretty much expressed the same sentiment on another of Todd's works. As I said of several other great musician's, "A musicians musician. Above the minds of the average listener. And never hungry enough to chum up with commercialism". (Harry Nilsson, Neil Merryweather, Jeff Beck & Leon Russell).
Julia Egner Todd Is God!
Julia Egner What other recognition would one want?
I literally feel sorry for people who don't "get" Todd. What they are missing out on...
Well he's finally gotten a bit of it with the RRHOF.
He has plenty of recognition from fans who appreciate all his work.Todd does not need to be the biggest star in the world.His fans like and appreciate all the great music he has written and performed over the years.Being a Todd fan has exposed me to so much music and brilliance.
if that freakshow who gunned down john lennon did anything good at all, it was introducing me to rundgren by proxy
Well said. Todd has pretty well explained that he never chased stardom for the sake of celebrity. He had his production income, which was steady (how he got a percentage on Bat out of hell), so he was free to make ear candy like this for us Toddites.
I would sit and study the album cover while listening to the creations of this great artist. It made me want to become a recording engineer.
This double album was released in the early 1970's!!!!!! Todd was way ahead of his time!!
Todd wrote some of the most beautiful melancholy songs
Such a gem as only Todd could write. Love this tune with time changes back and forth with a gorgeous melody and lyrics. So unique
Todd is a Rare Genius who is King RockStar to me. Write Tom Hanks & Ask Why Todd’s not in Hall Of Fame.
My all-time favorite Todd tune. I never tire of hearing it.
I always loved how he made the music cycle around from the right side to the left side as if you were hearing the carousel spinning around while it was on fire . Made the song that much more intense
To me this tune is true psychedelic music .... and I like it.
This reminds me of the friends I had in 1975
Very Beautiful ... and very Sad ... Genius.
this LP changed my life
Woah one can learn so much from Todd’s songs and lyrics
Awesome poetry and an amazing whodunit. Todd where were you when I needed your wisdom in high school in the 70s? Oh Yea- you were right there every day! Thx Guy!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE ALBUMS ... AND I'VE BEEN LISTENING SINCE 1955!
Todd played all the instruments and sang all the vocals on sides 1, 2 and 3 of this double album. Genius.
This is the song that when i hear it i get emotional because it was one of my brothers favorite songs,he passed away in 2022, just thinking of u bro 😢
Nobody has done a Carousel song better than this
The Hollies
Jacques Brel did an equally good carousel song; Valse de la Mille Temps.
Probably true, although the band The Gordian Knot (whose members included "Midnight Train to Georgia" writer Jim Weatherly, who passed recently) did a rather lovely and wistful song called "Broken Down Ole Merry-Go-Round" on their sole 1968 album, written by band members Leland Russell and J. D. Lobue. ruclips.net/video/hFdZvMq5M4U/видео.html
Check Jellyfish Brighter day, they may or may not take a major influence on this song
@@389383 this is more carousel like though
such a “weird” song but its so damn good.

First heard this song way back in the day and bought the album Todd Rundgren / Something/Anything
Me, too.
Tyler, the Creator showed me this song with a Twitter post back in the early '10s. This song is brilliant as fuck.
That’s wild! 🤯
Great cut off of an essential album. Don't you just love the fade out? ...."Here we go"
thank you for posting this, great music 😃
Classic.
Pure Genius.
Very much in line with the Kinks, 'Come Dancing' sentiment.
No Brasil,na década de 80,um Conhecido cantor e compositor escreveu e fez sucesso com uma música chamada " Quem saberia perder ",...que para mim é parecida até demais com essa canção, principalmente os arranjos,notas...
tô achando que ele ouvia muito o Sr Rundgren!!!🤔
linda música!
Todd Rundgren es un genio!
Nice mix. Thank you.
Blue notes everywhere deep
So apropos in March of 2020. :)
Fucking Great
Leo Sayer shoulda covered this song wearing his clown face it woulda fitted his voice I think.
suena como el show de los muertos de sui generis
Ahora que lo pienso tienes razon. Hay mucho de Todd en Charly.
! !
The cluttered mess of too much background instrumentation and percussion noise rundgren is so famous for.
if you've nothing nice to say, don't say it at all :D
@@MoonLight-np4wx Who are you, the hall monitor?
