going through a tragedy in life so I'm on a Todd marathon. but really is there an evil person out there giving his songs a thumbs down? whoever you are, quit listening! let us have the love and go away.
I agree 100 per cent. If they don't get it....their loss. There also comes a time when a sick person posts that he hopes that Todd ends up dead in a fiery car crash. For real, that was posted to me. If the dude is really serious about that, he needs help. On a better note, whatever you have had to endure, I sincerely wish all the best for you and hope that you did or will come out of it stronger.
To be fair, the "thumbs downs" are a lower percentage of the responses that you'd find on most RUclips videos. There will always be haters. Ignore 'em!
Love, love. LOVE this! One of my all time favorite Todd songs--- although I was only 12 when my older cousins introduced me to his music back in the 70's-- he became one of my significant musical influences. I continued to be amazed by his talent, creativity and brilliance, all these years later~
Oh, how this song has haunted me for decades. The 'genuine heart of sadness' that arises out of our love for one another, yet confronts our inability to love alone. As beautiful as 'Compassion' is, of all the TR songs, this is the one says 'compassion' most deeply, most spiritually, most lovingly to me. How fortunate I am to be human at the same time as Todd--and you too HarryRunt. Thanks!
So beautiful. As always, Todd pulls me in and I just don’t want the song to end. That you, Todd. You are the best musician out there and never forget that.❤
Simply beautiful, and a song that can take you to another place, thats other worldly!!! I thank God that he allowed me to discover that is the magic that is Todd Rundgren!!!
I love this video.. I took some screenshots and made an photo album on facebook for my Todd Utopia photo album and copied this link to it. Thanks dear, really appreciate you posting his.
Thank you for posting! Utopia performed at GWU when I was on the Program Board there. So many memories. He is a great performer but he was so dedicated to Utopia that he would not perform any other songs, including "Hello, It's Me."
@HarryRunt LOL !! That's not being Stuck at All.. a Pleasure ! Yes Mark left the loop when he was stricken.. That's when we lost him on Facebook . It was an important Life's Work for Mark. We will 4 ever B grateful for his efforts, and you are carrying the Torch now.. So important 2 keep Todd Rundgren & Utopia's legacy in view 4 those who already KNOW, and 4 younger generations who need 2 KNOW !! We are all very pleased to see these videos !! Many Thanks and Rock Love, Cherry XO : )
@HarryRunt I loved what Mark Goodin did all those years for Todd Rundgren & Utopia . Was friends with him for a time on Facebook too. We really miss him and are so sorry , as to what happened . Please tell Mark that we love him & miss him and wish him the very very best . And Thank YOU HarryRunt for Picking Up This Banner !! Greatly appreciated !!! XO XO Tell him Rose Wassel & Cheryl Rayden say Hi !! XO XO Rock Love, Cherry XO XO : )
Swing to the Right was perhaps the Utopia band album that had the best TR songs, which were of course, diluted by the band concept. All of his songs were pretty great at this point.
this is nothing short of breathtaking...the distance is of course, clear, but it reminds me of when I took my psychiatric courtordered drug people to court and won. you can't reach todd!
Harry Runt is doing a Great job Carrying the Torch.. but at the same time we all miss Mark, and worry about him.. After All his Long Years of Love and Dedication..He was very saddened when they said No More to his Account.. He eventually left FB too.. Could be, he completely removed himself from the Internet.. I hope he has gotten a hold of Todd's new album "STATE" and that the Music gives Mark.. Beauty and Comfort ... XO XO
I wish I could go see them on the reunion tour. Alas, my meager college student budget denies me this pleasure. :( I'm keeping myself busy with yt videos in the meantime, so thank you for this.
Wish I could find the other version of this that was available on VHS. I believe t was recorded as a New Years Eve special on USA network. This was a decent version of this song but the other version was ethereal" ...IMHO. BTW the band was still dressed in the white shirts and ties.
@chelababy1 You already did...but I'll make sure they know Cherry...I don't have any way to contact Mark...His eMail is dead, I'll have to wait for him to contact me...in the meantime, You're stuck with me...heh
If this song and his voice don't make you feel anything at all...you're already gone. It's too late for you.
AMEN!
So would that be " TOO FAR GONE " 😅😅😅😅😅😅🎤🎸🎸🎶🎵🍺🍺
There's more thought, musicality, color tones, chord progressions and overall excellence in one of Todd's songs than in most albums ever made.

I'm sorry you're going through a tragedy. I am too. We are thankful to have Todd's music. It's going to get better.
Always loved Todd. This is an enormous song. A song for us all. Todd is the answer.
I can not get enough of this song. One of my very favorite Todd songs. Beautiful.
After you see Todd in concert,you will never be the same. Saw him last August for the 4th time,was able to shake his hand. Gripped so tight.
Unbelievable performance! That is why we tribute the band and the man everyday. Powerful and emotional and a message everyone can relate to. Wow.

Long live Todd Rundgren.
Happy 76 🎉 Todd! 🎶

So incredibly funny but it's 2024 now and I stopped by to listen to this again and it's absolutely breathtaking. Thanks so much for this, Todd.
Just discovered this song - so wonderful!
Todd Rudgren is a very talented and very under-rated artist.
Todd can do it all. That's not easily said for many. In my honest opinion, the greatest songwriter on earth.
When he's on, he's on. Todd has good performances and great ones. He cuts loose, but it's real.
One of the best songs EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!
I fall in love all over again with Todd every time I hear this song!! Thank you for sharing this incredible video!!
So beautiful. As always, Todd pulls me in and I just don’t want the song to end. That you, Todd. You are the best musician out there and never forget that.❤
Simply beautiful, and a song that can take you to another place, thats other worldly!!! I thank God that he allowed me to discover that is the magic that is Todd Rundgren!!!
Absolutely timeless...so beautiful. Todd is such an amazing lyricist!
The amazing Roger Powell!
It's only human to despise the weak what a line, but so true. Tragic thing live and die alone so true,Todd the man.
Beautiful vocals! Meaningful, Love Todd Rungren and Utopia! Wish more music in 2022 was composed like this!
What a gem 🙏
Great meaningful song 💫 Todd + Utopia are amazing 🙏💯 and my friends 🎶✨️ Rocklove ArtyThan ☆♡
Wish I could go back in time and attend more concerts.
I love this video.. I took some screenshots and made an photo album on facebook for my Todd Utopia photo album and copied this link to it.
