Be sure to play this album when your kids are home. Don't let them miss out on such powerful music such as is on this album and others by Todd. Don't let it end!
This was our song. I used to listen to it on the drives from taking her home. She lived on a farm. We married the day after I graduated from college. We had two kids and were together for 30 years. The divorce was final on our 25th wedding anniversary. Also our daughter's birthday. I now have two more kids 13 and 16 and this wife is moving out soon. Its been over awhile now. If stupidity was money Bill Gates would borrow from me. But at 65 I have good health, decent retirement income and two kids to still raise awhile. If you love someone never say never. Things change. Life can change you. Love is forever in our hearts and minds but it takes strength to maintain it..........But the song Lucky man does define my life. I have been lucky in so many ways...........I just got in the way.
I'm sorry man..... your story. But hey! We all make mistakes through life and you got 4 kids and hopefully your in good with all of them and likely they'll bless you with plenty grand kids. Your blessed with good health with plenty years to be a great grandpa, and you'll never quite walk alone during your golden years. You got so much to share with grand kids that they can learn from you, like Todd Rundgren's music and alike from back in the day. They will fondly remember you for that. Get yourself a couple puppies while your still young enough. You'll be surprised what great company they can be.
@@johnbranham9941 Its all good. I was single for about a week and then #3 showed up. Well, not really as we have known each other for 50 years. She was my best friend' s girl in HS. Im in a really good place. And almost always have been. Still raising two teens but the boy is 18 and graduating HS in about 3 months. Rundgren's song always struck me as an anthem to kindness , empathy but free will. That life is not always gonna take a straight path. I always thought mine would but then I was shocked by things.
8/28/24 found this song today at the end of an episode of That 70’s Show (a show that premiered and my friends and I watched in high school c/o ‘01) and it the lyrics got me thinking! Hope everyone reading this is well and appreciating the present day and cherishing what you have!
It really is. I don't know why, but it is so perfect. It feels me with deep emotions every time I hear it. My first Todd song. He is an integral part of me. My voice melds with his on many songs and especially this one. I wish I could see him one more time!!!!!
Time capsule. I smell good weed.happy times with good friends.I just lost a brother to cancer and we were just talking about howgood,cool Todd is,great aong writer,thank you todd.help me keep my brother close to me now that he is passed .god bless you
I listened to this album over and over as a kid. One of my absolute favorite songs - beautiful melody and inspiring lyrics about true love. Do not know how many times I have listened to it but it has to be several hundred. (I am 63. So, I have decades to listen. Ha.
Not easy being a sensitive person in this world...makes my heart overflow and my eyes well up every time .. how can so much emotion be stored into one little song!? Just the opening chords alone are so beautiful gentle and strong...
This is my favorite song. I memorized the lyrics. i would sing it over and over in the car with my daughter. She must have thought I was crazy. We always smile when we play it now. It is our song. The words are so amazing to sing. It is a masterpiece!
Beautiful song ❤I still feel that way after all these years Todd has great music it was all great back then ❤️ . I just so lucky thati got to be a big partl❤🎉
This is a reminder to hold on to those precious moments.If in doubt think twice before you leave.We tend to relive the past again,again and again,unless a lesson is learned .SAD but true for everyone that regrets.❤🌹😇This song is beautifully done.
This is one of the songs I remember listening to on my portable radio while laying in bed when I was a kid in the mid seventies. I used to fall asleep to the endless stream of great music coming in from all over. I loved spinning the dial in the dark, until I found something cool. Late at night, the a.m. stations got me stations from other countries talking exotic languages. Great memories.
When this song first came out I had a huge crush on a girl that I knew wouldn't fall for me. And this song came on the radio on my way home one night. It was like it was a sound track for my life at the time. Can't help but think of her when I hear this song. ❤
King of words, melody, feelings and regret! Thank God my heartbroken high school days are over, and I have a family today. I just miss my mother... Todd King!!
Hello, it's me I've thought about us for a long, long time Maybe I think too much but something's wrong There's something here that doesn't last too long Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine Seeing you, or seeing anything as much as I do you I take for granted that you're always there I take for granted that you just don't care Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through It's important to me That you know you are free 'Cause I never want to make you change for me Think of me You know that I'd be with you if I could I'll come around to see you once in a while Or if I ever need a reason to smile And spend the night if you think I should It's important to me That you know you are free 'Cause I never want to make you change for me Think of me You know that I'd be with you if I could I'll come around to see you once in a while Or if I ever need a reason to smile And spend the night if you think I should
I heard Todd in an interview say that he didn't like this version as much as the original . Todd , you were brought up only a few miles from me , and no offense , but I sooooooooo love this version so much more !!!
this song reminds me of my dad, in the best way possible. one day in the car we were listening to this song looking at the album cover and he told me "i don't if i'm getting older, but the more time passes the more i start finding the beauty in the little things. look at those flowers, aren't they just beautiful?" i tried so hard not to cry cause isn't that just the truest thing ever?
Just found this thanks to google new feature, cause I heard it in the radio and didn’t remembered in which movie/serie now I do… sec and the city the last song of Mr. Big 😢❤
this song needs to be re released OMG what meaning it has today , i have a roommate going on 3yrs now i recently fell for her but she's cut off everything we've done that past 3yrs together that only tells me one thing she's met someone😢😢😢 but I'm not giving up , i left my own house because it hurts too much to see her gone for 32 hrs sometimes .... i think i should send this to her , great lyrics
This is such a great song and this is the best version. The bass player Moogy Klingman misses the intro twice before they nail it. I love that Todd included it on the record. It's as real as it gets.
Remember the time when music was music.
So true.. amen..
It still is just look in places other than chart music
so true.
I agree
The lyrics told a story we relate to
This version, with the false start at the beginning, is absolutely beautiful
I think this is the Original Release with the intro Uncropped and the Board Fade Removed, i. e. "Remixed."
1 2 3
Yes ..first time i have heard this Version. Excellent
I have this version on vinyl ❤
Just gimme... gimme a break, a second.
Be sure to play this album when your kids are home. Don't let them miss out on such powerful music such as is on this album and others by Todd. Don't let it end!

I have to admit...I wish that we could!
@@deborahrobertson8606 such a beautiful song - i remember so much

3 décadas inmortales.
In Declining Order yet great

My wife was marlene
She will probably not make 72 this week but her relationship with Todd's music endured for 60 years
One of the greatest songs I’ve ever heard. Sacred Song
Jennifer Puhl , I love the entire TWO album set
It really is. I don't know why, but it is so perfect. It feels me with deep emotions every time I hear it. My first Todd song. He is an integral part of me. My voice melds with his on many songs and especially this one. I wish I could see him one more time!!!!!

Old songs will NEVER DIE, and this song will live on in our hearts... FOREVER!
It’s important to me !
Remember when !
This is an extraordinary song!
Yes, it really is. Check out rendition of this song by The Isley Brothers.🦋
We found this cassette in my brother's Car 😢RIP Greg I suppose God needed You 😢
Energy carries on. Keep your head up.
Not easy being a sensitive person in this world...makes my heart overflow and my eyes well up every time .. how can so much emotion be stored into one little song!? Just the opening chords alone are so beautiful gentle and strong...
I love the brass arrangement in this.
Todd Rundgren is worthy of a memoir
Musical Genius 🎶
THIS song had me hypnotized for 2 decades. 💔💖
This is my favorite song. I memorized the lyrics. i would sing it over and over in the car with my daughter. She must have thought I was crazy. We always smile when we play it now. It is our song. The words are so amazing to sing. It is a masterpiece!
So Cool...
I did that with Two Hangmen, Mason Proffit.

Beautiful song ❤I still feel that way after all these years Todd has great music it was all great back then ❤️ .
I just so lucky thati got to be a big partl❤🎉
I first heard this song on that 70's show and was hooked. Just a 80's baby who grew up with parents with great music taste

I was eleven years old when this song came out and infatuated with a girl who wore a beautiful blue winter coat. I still think of her often.
That is so heart punching…life gives us few memories that last like what you have described..don’t let it get away…🇨🇦
I was 10 liking a girl who lived across the street in the Midwest my 1st love
Wow .Didn't think a song could bring a tear to my eye ❤
every time i hear it

King of words, melody, feelings and regret! Thank God my heartbroken high school days are over, and I have a family today. I just miss my mother... Todd King!!
Different era, Different time,we need this back again,brings good memories.
Reminds me of AM radio in the car on Sunday afternoons back in the 80's. Great song.
I had the same exact experience in the 70's. Maybe a teenager is in their car right now listening.
EXACTLY man! 70's AND 80's WCBS FM in NYC! I miss those days so much.
And on the opposite coast, we were listening to this on KFRC, KYA and K101 in San Francisco back then
Hey you, sitting there listening to this song, you are beautiful and I'd like to dedicate this song to you.
Thanks Rog. You too!
I’d rather you didn’t
nice! Peace to you bro.
Thank you, made my day.....was having a terrible day...you put a smile on my face.
Love is the Answer
Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine
Seeing you, or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through
It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should
It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me
Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should
How did you do the whole lyrics 😮
An all time classic. No more to be said.
Beautiful💜 What an amazing voice💖 Shivers down the spine, Todd Rundgren thank you for this song💜
Hello it's me ❤. great song after all these years.
It just doesn't get much better...😊
I heard Todd in an interview say that he didn't like this version as much as the original . Todd , you were brought up only a few miles from me , and no offense , but I sooooooooo love this version so much more !!!
Killer song. Todd has such a great back catalogue but this is his best song.
Name a few please
If ever a song had magic this one is it
Coming from the Midwest in 72 hearing this song I took piano n drum lessons I wish I could play trumpet Gr8 n music miss those days
The count off makes this song great!!
This song is a reason to smile 😊❤
This is a bad jam! It would still be a chart buster today.👌
Came to this after watching the That 70s show. Indeed beautiful song.
I have this record on vinyl!! I bought it in Taiwan!! I was listen this everyday
When waS that? I'm in Taiwan NOW, listening ..when tears appear from nowhere!
Hello Todd it's Benjamin and I'm listening from the heart. I thank TH-cam and True Wizard for the hook up.

100% Facts!!!!
When I thought it just the song, but the whole damn album is out of this world brilliant

This is absolutely one of my favorites 🎉
He's a Legend and this is a Masterpiece!
Eric e Donna ❤️😍 minha série favorita 😭.

You’re so lucky!
Peace and blessings to them and you❤

One of the greatest Philly tunes.
Welcome to the home of the 4 minute and 40 second smile.....
Beautiful song and the Bass Line is amazing...C Mon Now!!!!
Simple and brilliant. I would sign this guy now.
Nice gesture here, but Todd Rundgren is now 75 and retired from recording.
@@Russell1971Yes, I certainly know that. I was speaking as though I heard him for the first time. My little joke of course.
this song reminds me of my dad, in the best way possible. one day in the car we were listening to this song looking at the album cover and he told me "i don't if i'm getting older, but the more time passes the more i start finding the beauty in the little things. look at those flowers, aren't they just beautiful?" i tried so hard not to cry cause isn't that just the truest thing ever?
I remember I was 15 or 16 when that song came out love that Song hello it me❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Whoever set this up I love you putting the words under the songs so perfect.
I want this to play at my celebration of life.
Only ONE OF THE BEST
I love this song, too
Classic todd brilliant album great song writer rock and ballards turned out some amazing music great musician still going today says something 👍
It’s okay 👌🏼 I’ll strive to make this my song of the day 😊
I always loved this song 😍🩷😎✌️💐🎼🎸🎹🥁🎤🌞😇
That 70s Show!!
I have the 45 of Hello It's Me. Love that episode!
Standout bass line by Stu Wppds adds so much more to this version than the original Nazz recording.
Thanks...agreed, accept, and you're beautiful too!
So many Todd Rundgren songs to love, expressing my love for this one here, 😊. Only 99,000 more songs of his on TH-cam to leave a comment on, 😱😜
Magnificent. Such greatness
I love this song. Great memories from the 70's. The music was fantastic!!!
SOLID the best RUNDGREN
Pardon me while l finish weeping..this never tends to put me away for days after hearing it as it should be performed..🇨🇦
One of my all-time faves!❤
1972 OR 1973
WHEN THIS SONG 🎶
CAME OUT
Mostly bad times.
Just found this thanks to google new feature, cause I heard it in the radio and didn’t remembered in which movie/serie now I do… sec and the city the last song of Mr. Big 😢❤
this song needs to be re released OMG what meaning it has today , i have a roommate going on 3yrs now i recently fell for her but she's cut off everything we've done that past 3yrs together that only tells me one thing she's met someone😢😢😢 but I'm not giving up , i left my own house because it hurts too much to see her gone for 32 hrs sometimes .... i think i should send this to her , great lyrics
Nah you’re being weird
It is so cool they left the beginning part in most would edit that out😮
That '70s Song!
It reminds me of when I was in Junior High in 1973.
For all who love this song Cheers!😎✌️👏👏
Beautiful....
PS.... Todd you should have been in the Eagles for harmonic purpose & additional lead vox
Me recuerda mi adolecencia, cuando está esperando si primer amor.
Bassist keeps missing the lead-in...then goes on to lay down an awesome track. Great bass line.
This is real music that meant something
Glad for you friend
such a great love song... such memories
This is an artist I know by name only, this is to my knowledge the first time I hear Todd
Cool album cover
I played the preacher for my kids. It was part of tgeir education!
Purrrefection...🤘🐕😗
This is such a great song and this is the best version. The bass player Moogy Klingman misses the intro twice before they nail it. I love that Todd included it on the record. It's as real as it gets.
Phenomenon
Superb music!😅
❤This original version
