Quintissential Todd ... spinning abstract concepts into sonic bliss, with deep intelligence and a healthy dose of wry humor .. I love this man to no end ... ♥
Huge Todd is Godd fan; saw him and Utopia many times all over. Most underrated and absolutely amazing songwriter, singer, multi-instrumentalist, engineer, producer, lyricist and overall cool dude. Somehow, I always found a Todd song when I really needed it. Real Man and Fair Warning stand out. I love how he emits emotion in his songs; a great example is Wailing Wall. Todd's in my top 5 "stuck on an island" must have. Thanks for it all Todd.
Saw todd many times with many different musicians playing with him- He never disapoints live and his studio productions just keep getting better- peace my friends-
So many eras of Todds music I just Love, seems as though there has always been a Todd song that fully captured the moment of something I was going through in my life...The Liars cd song for song is just brilliant, because so much of the production that has made Todd who he is just really shines on this CD ! Sheer Brilliance !
@@Eddysstrangesituationplayers Well hey there Ed. Ok a clue? Well I was really intrigued by this tune especially the disharmony bell's and chimes of sorts..I was watching a u_tube video on Paul McCartney and the Beatles. They were playing some Beatles music backwards. Low and behold what I heard? I am fairly certain the tracks are let's say... conspicuously similar.... then the image of Utopia in Beatle persona.... let me know if you agree. I believe it was about the conspiracy of Paul being a imposter.
Funny enough, while listening to this just now I was struck how much like Andy Partridge that Todd's vocal delivery style mirrored that of Andy. I'm glad I'm not the only one.
"It's so easy to be smart but it's a struggle to be wise" Lyrics that will always stick with me.. So True.
Rundgren has been getting into my head since 1974. Thanks Todd, it's been one hell of a ride.
Same year for myself also Baxdrum!

"And when tey asked for volunteers, I must have thought they said drink beers" Love that line, love this song.
Great capture our fine Wizard performed...again...

This song is a classic combination of todds older style and new head he was in.....which changes weekly if not daily. Love it ❤👏🎶👏🎶👏🎶👏🎶👏
A nice little "backhanded" compliment to his former nemesis Andy Partridge!! The spirit of Skylarking is strong in this one...
Very XTC, very Andy Partridge, very good song. It's a shame the two of them didn't get on, they musically complimented each other so well....
My God where does he come up with these arrangements!
GENIUS!
One of the best songs ever.
Marla Singer 👨🎤I was Thinking 🤔The Same Thing!
I love this song. Well honestly, I can't name a Todd song I don't like.
this honesty is greatly appreciated
Me either. OMG. I live and breathe Todd Rundgren.
I like most Todd stuff but 99% of the stuff on Arena is crap imho
@@skyblazeeterno Courage is a great song.

peace my friends-
Welcome to the R&R Hall of Fame, Todd!!
Ira Gordon Todd said this about the RRHOF: "If nominated I will not run; if elected, I will not serve."
When I tried turning friends on to ‘Liars’ they didn’t know how to handle it. I loved it first spin but then I’ve admired TODD since AWATS.
It's hard to believe that other people don't hear what we hear! I've had little luck converting many people :(
Todd stood up just in time for me. Forever amazed and grateful!
Right in!
Witness with your good self...
I love this song. It's got everything that makes a song great!
Liars album is a solid keeper....and thats NO LIE .
Thank you mollyscreationz ✌❤ Liars is such a great album...the concert dvd from THE EGG IS UNREAL. 👍😉👍😉👍😉👍😉
One of my favorite Todd songs.
Finally getting around to listening to this album and keep playing this one over and over.
This song reminds me of stuff Todd did with The Nazz, complete with phaser and everything.
I know what you mean. Todd's songs are the sound track of my life.
stood up & god said are my favorite tracks of this fantastic album. all lyrics are a slap in the face in the best way possible...
Well said.
Love the harmonies and chords on this song, it's so well composed and executed.
Todd ...i love this album. Thank you molly😍
I paid $29 for this cd during Christmas. In two weeks I gave it to somebody that really needed to hear it.
And I'd buy it again!
The song liar is soooo grab ya by the wtf !! Scream what ya feel.😝😝😝

And yet another Todd Classic
Truth...
Mr. Rundgren is the man!
I’m addicted to this tune
Excellent! WHAT A COMEBACK that was...!!!!
great track - notice something new every time
Great 💪 Todd
a lesson in humility...
Todd, your stuff is amazing.
great layering on this tune!
Stood Up is a BeautyFuLL Carousel Ride.
Rosie, I am just starting to be addicted in late 2021, how long did the addiction last?!
Classic Todd.
Love the Lyrics and the tune, if you stand up to fast you might get dizzy.
Literally Addicted 2 Stood Up Todd
humbling song
YES! Been waiting for someone to post. LOVE the harpischord in this! Peace and Love! Sus
Fab! ty!
Dig this song lots. Bridge at 2:20 sounds so XTC it's uncanny.... after all, this IS the guy who produced Skylarking.
+sisosiggy
i didn't know he produced an XTC album
Funky bridges go back to early 70s for Todd.
thanks for lyrics - love it x
Liiiiiiar!! Liiiiiiar !!!👍💖💖💖
"Ah-EE-yah Stood up too fast" ...
that is funny!
Ok I know where this tune came from. Wow Todd, pretty sneaky. Your secrets safe with me...
The secret that he gets it? It's no secret.
Drop a clue?

This song really helped me when I was on my way out from the JW'S, felf it really captured the self righteous ding dongs that were in charge.
Sorry you had to deal with those knuckle draggers
8 people stood up too fast...
Sounds like XTC.

" I got so " FUCKING wired"
Half of these views are mine!
@JonP1961 Todd is the master!!
Yes he is, was, and will always be. I tried, but got fucked. No regrets, I stood up too fast. Maybe the next person can have it easier.
My copy DVD was yours to?
Now and then he sounds a bit like Andy Partridge
wisdom is sorely lacking in our society- exactly why our political system is failing-
@menRstupidwomenRevil Right?!!
