  • It Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference from Something/Anything?
    LYRICS:
    Do you remember the last time I said
    If I ever thought about lying,
    I'd rather think of dying instead
    And maybe you remember the last time you called me
    To say we were through
    How it took a million tears
    Just to prove they all were for you
    But those days are through
    'Cause it wouldn't have made any difference,
    If you loved me
    How could you love me
    When it wouldn't really make any difference,
    If you really loved me
    You just didn't love me
    'Cause I know of hundreds of times I could be
    In the most unfaithful arms that you always picture me
    And maybe you remember that
    Though I can't always show proof I was true
    No one else could change my mind or
    Stop me coming home to you
    But those days are through
    You just did not love me enough to believe me
    Enough not to leave me
    Enough not to look for a reason to be unhappy with me
    And make me regret ever wanting you
    But those days are through

    It’s truly amazing how this wasn’t released as a single. It’s just as strong as “Hello It’s Me” and “I Saw the Light” in my humble opinion. In fact almost every one of those 1st 6 songs that start the album could have easily been single worthy material.

    This song and the album it was on changed my life completely. I was an athlete focused on sports but when I heard this, it made me hear and I came to realize that music was truly what I loved and wanted to do. I had fiddled around with an acoustic guitar, but this music made me want to play and create. Five years later I was on the road in a band and now, over fifty years abd thousands of songs later, I am still playing and creating. Thank you, Todd Rundgren for blessing my life with your genius.

    This song delivers the essence of the hurt in betrayal. His dedication and devotion were built off of his care and appreciation for who she was.
    She bewildered him with her accusations (probably to cover up the dirt she was doing behind his back). That cut him deep, accusing him of unthinkable acts on his part (in the attempt to keep him honest).
    Her cheating heart made her lose a precious love. Well played and said Todd, "It wouldn't have made any difference if she loved you (but she didn't. She just was just looking for justification for her cheating).

We may not have had it on eight track tape but we sure turned the FM Radio full blast as the song came on. Tom Richard B.
