without ytube i never would have explored his work. really an extrodinary talent. just goes his own way with his own vision. saw him once in a restaurant i was working in. he was with darryl hall. no one but me knew who he was!
My God this IS exactly how I feel. I'm sooo angry and hurt by this world, but yet, I want it to change which means somewhere in me that i'm STILL hopeful for it....Todd seems to have a song for evey joy and conflicting emotion.Wish it were as simple as my singing this song.Thank you, ''JoeF''
...I first saw him in san francisco on a club tour around 1980-he had a tape player,guitar/piano and himself-was brilliant....i remember a female fan up front melting in a puddle of tears and sobbing ..."TODD,TODD!!"...It was kinda startling, yet touching...but by the end of the show I could feel where she was coming from...he's got a gift...
The problem is that radio programmers won't even listen to his new stuff. Todd keeps growing and changing, and they've decided that he's a nostalgia act...never mind that his most recent album "Liars" is the best thing he's done in 20+ years.
This album came out when I was four years old and my mom got it since she was (still is) a big Todd Rundgren fan, so this is really one of the very very first songs I got really familiar with, and I don't think I've heard it since I was seven. I know they say that the sense of smell is most linked to memory, but I think this makes a big case for linking music to memory!
Tod Rundgren made a 3d computer animation for this song on an Amiga computer years ago. His video and his song are amazing. I hope to see his video again someday.
One of Todd's best songs from one of his best albums. I give him credit for always doing challenging material on Letterman's show. How many pickup bands could pull off "The Waiting Game"? Great.
Thank you for posting this video! A beautiful song indeed. And it rings of truth. Todd is an amazing evolved illuminated being. Oh how I wish I could see the Akron concert but alas, I am in Oregon. Come to Oregon Todd!
2nd Wind wasn't over produced - it was over rehearsed -- compare it to the "Live" side 4 of Something/Anything and the difference in the grove is phenomenal -- to me 2nd Wind is the Sound Pink Floyd was going for on 'Shine on You Crazy Diamond' -- Still 'Change Myself' is a beautiful song.
Todd is playing Philly on New Years Eve. It's so gonna rock. Check out his new CD...ARENA....kicks serious ass. Gotta luv Todd. He's my Godd!!!! I love this song....thank you!!!! ;o)
I'm thinking it was at The Warfield - again I'm not sure of the year in the early '80's....One of those years he also played at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley with Utopia- another great show....damn :long time ago,now !
I see Michelle Rundgren comments on some of the Todd video in here BarbaraGrace. And being she was one of those half naked singers, I'm sure she would tell you about how hard she tried to get the rest of the band to dress down as well!
Was that the "Kabuki Theatere"? I was at a solo concert I would put '81, he played acoustic, and electrric and sang, did some piano and sang, then the tape machine at the end...great tour.
Funny how Letterman became the show to showcase Todd. Guess it was the Shaffer link. Otherwise, Dave's got the greatest musical mind on the planet on his stage, and he acts like a doofus.
Todd is god. What a guy. A better songwriter you wont find.
This is the best Todd. Should have sold a billion. Hope he makes another blue eyed soul record someday...
Paul, Sid McGuinnis, Will Lee, Anton Fig, and Dave Letterman together longer than most bands.
and Todd...... he is the best
Surely there is no other singer who sings with such emotion!
Rundgren is still such an incredible talent!

I LOVE THIS SONG AND THE WHOLE ALBUM IT COMES FROM ! THANK YOU TODD FOR BEING BORN AND INSPIRING ALL OF US FANS TO HAPPINESS AND CREATIVITY.

Todd is like the gold in fort Knox....not too many have seen it, but it is a wealth that is beyond imagination.

Maybe I'm being dramatic as a Todd fan, but I think this is one of the best rock ballads ever written.
God I love this song!!! Todd is so damn good!!!
thank you thank you thank you!! i've never seen this before - one of my top 5 faves by Todd - & there are dozens i love... Made my evening!
True perfection in expressing emotion from one end of the scale to the other in such a masterfully way. Thank you for changing my life.
One of Todd's best songs from one of his best albums. I give him credit for always doing challenging material on Letterman's show. How many pickup bands could pull off "The Waiting Game"? Great.
nokturna9 made me go see liars tour in stl. Much respect for TR ever since. I think I've seen him 3 times now and every show was unique and a blast.
God I love this song... what sensitivity...marry me Todd
Legend!!!
Love Love Love this one!!!!
He's still magnificent!
Todd changed my world
Todd you changed my life
this cat is dope.

Thank you for posting this video! A beautiful song indeed. And it rings of truth. Todd is an amazing evolved illuminated being.
Oh how I wish I could see the Akron concert but alas, I am in Oregon. Come to Oregon Todd!
Nice! I met him when he was a Freshman at NEC. I was only 12 years old, but you don't forget a name like that ;)
Great song!! This is the first time I've heard this. Really nice.
Love this guy!
heart & soul
I remember this from bein at a Friends house in the Early mornin. Great song from Second Wind
@michelerundgren
Sweet! First time I met him was his freshman year at New England Conservatory. I was a pup, but it's a name you can't forget.
I so agree with ya Todd!!!! :o)
oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Awesome.

Gotta luv Todd. He's my Godd!!!!
I love this song....thank you!!!!

I'm thinking it was at The Warfield - again I'm not sure of the year in the early '80's....One of those years he also played at The Greek Theatre in Berkeley with Utopia- another great show....damn :long time ago,now !
Thanks for pointing that out dude! I was wondering where the "overproduced' comments were coming from...
Todd is Godd

This song is part of "Computer Animation Festival -Volume 1.0".
Moron! Liars is Todd's modern day swansong. Brilliant album from a true master.
Was that the "Kabuki Theatere"? I was at a solo concert I would put '81, he played acoustic, and electrric and sang, did some piano and sang, then the tape machine at the end...great tour.
The blond is his wife, Michelle.
Is that a young Will Lee on bass? Anyone know?
Is that Anton on drums?
Funny how Letterman became the show to showcase Todd. Guess it was the Shaffer link. Otherwise, Dave's got the greatest musical mind on the planet on his stage, and he acts like a doofus.
umm.. who cares??
for the record, yes. it's him.
