What a RAVISHING man, always has been, ever so shall be. This song is to be played at my funeral so whilst I am gone,perhaps others will be changed by hearing it. I've loved Todd since 1978 and his music has always affected my life; I still play his songs everyday and they lift my spirits. Can you imagine meeting him? Just to walk along the beach and let him talk about his genius..............
What a beautiful thing. I'm 22 years old. Todd has been with me since day one thanks to my dad. I'm probably not aware of half the positive influence Todd has had on my psychological/spiritual development.
They definitely dont create music like this today....Ive always found Todd Rundgren music speaks volumes to me....something about the arrangement of the music with his amazing voice touches the depths of my soul❤❤❤❤
Great artist;I was listening to T.R. back in the mid 70's and I m now 50 years old.My 16 year old daughter's even a fan of his as well and she plays guitar in a heavy metal band(LMAO)How cool's that?
What of riches are told in a life without compassion? For there's no winter as cold as a life without compassion. There's no prescription that's sold that can heal you like compassion. Todd, I will love you till the life flows out of me. indee
What are riches untold in a life without compassion? For there's no winter as cold As a life without compassion. There's no prescription that's sold That can heal you like compassion. Yes!
Todd and the late great Vince Welnick on stage together again. The last time was when...and if you Todd fans can believe this...was when Utopia "opened" for the tubes on the Inside Outside tour. Sad days for the best band I've ever heard. But wouldn't it have been awsome to be in the audience then. Vince has since passed away from cancer, but we will always be able to hear those sweet notes when we hear this song and the Tubes.
Sifs 747 Ah ..saw Todd ( one of MANY great shows of his) last summer..Great Show !!💕💕 Pretty much my "heart song" Have you seen his performance of "Soothe" at Notre Dame? Hauntingly superb
@kahaki Wow! Great post! And I thought I loved Todd..this particular song is one to be played at my funeral, so whilst I am gone, maybe someone will be changed by hearing it. What a RAVISHING man he is, was and ever so shall be. "And how much I loved you, you'll never know...till you join me in my dreams"
@abrunomack - very cool. I am in awe of the number of people who share this sentiment. I too have turned to Todd's music for years to heal, calm rage and also to be angry if needed. He really is an expert at connecting the heart of an emotion to a lyric and melody. Keep up the awareness! Best J
You want more, and still more, Until you get more than you ever bargained for. Now its plain, clear as rain, I've seen your symptoms many times before. Lying on your bed of pain What will you have now? What are riches untold in a life without compassion? For there's no winter as cold As a life without compassion. There's no prescription that's sold That can heal you like compassion. Well you tried and you cried, And let your disappointment make you hard inside. You have doubt, you reach out, Still you're the only one you care about. Hiding in your sack of woe What do you need now? For there is nothing so sad As a life without compassion. And even love has turned bad, It was love without compassion. And you don't need what you had 'Cause you did not have compassion. Dying on your bed of pain What will you have now? You'll get no judgment from me, I can only feel compassion. And if that's what you need, I will give you my compassion. Just don't forget about me 'Cause we all need some compassion. Open up your heart So you can start to feel compassion. Get down on your knees, Pray to heaven for compassion. Everybody needs compassion. If you want to be healed Then you know you got to feel compassion
Just gotta say it... If you are listening to and or watching Todd Rundgren and you want to be insulting to either him or his wife... why are you wasting time being so negative. Bottom line, you either get it and appreciate him for all he has done or you don't. If you don't, I feel sorry for you and go elsewhere. There's no chain on your leg or gun to your head to force you to listen.
You want more, and still more, until you get more than you ever bargained for...compassion, a mixed blessing, beautifully defined. Check out the other version posted by rogsteel...few views, but worth a look.
I deleted my comment because it was a little over the top, but it made me a little angry. I see you walked your comment back some.which is good. However saying she corrupted Todd,and a negative influence is also saying she's bad .Unless you hang around them as a couple every day,you have no idea about their relationship. If she makes him happy, then bless her heart. He deserves it. Peace
Todd is my cosmic messenger, as he is for all of you, what a comfort, he's always been there, hasn't he?

I've been a fan since Nazz. I've met him three times and he's a kind, sweet soul as one might expect. Michelle is too.
d.
i love him too. always and forever.
Simply Beautiful. We all need to have more Compassion. What a beautiful thought. Thank you Uncle Todd

Ladies & Gentlemen! Please welcome TODD RUNDGREN!!! 😍🥰
Beautiful, TODD!!!!
This song slays me! What an incredible human being...Greatness Personified!
One of his most beautiful songs he had a way to make something work 😊.
One of the greats it is a shame he is not in the rock and roll hall of fame. One of the best vocalist I ever heard
An absolute riveting, heart wrenching piece of pure artistic expression. One of the greatest songs penned. Love Todd.
This is so astonishingly beautiful. One of the best song ever written!❤❤❤ Todd, You are incomparable!
I Love You Todd Rundgren ♥
They definitely dont create music like this today....Ive always found Todd Rundgren music speaks volumes to me....something about the arrangement of the music with his amazing voice touches the depths of my soul❤❤❤❤
Overlooked as one of the greatest frontmen. His voice is unmatched. Love you Todd❤

If popular music was really cool it would sound like this. Todd, you're my hero every time I hear you.

Thanks for posting. Todd Rundgren's School of Compassion has taught me more through his lyrics than anyone I ever met. What a beautiful soul.
Who is here in May 2020 during lockdown?😎

I put a collection of Todd's songs in my youtube history for everyone to enjoy...I can listen to him everyday...THIS is Music......

So emotional
who cant be moved by this, sign of great performer
Thanks for posting, have been a Todd fan far too long. This is a great song and an outstanding performance.
You want more, and still more,
Until you get more than you ever bargained for.
Now its plain, clear as rain,
I've seen your symptoms many times before.
Lying on your bed of pain
What will you have now?

Still you're the only one you care about.
Hiding in your sack of woe
What do you need now?
For there is nothing so sad
As a life without compassion.
And even love has turned bad,
It was love without compassion.
And you don't need what you had
'Cause you did not have compassion.
Dying on your bed of pain

You'll get no judgment from me,
I can only feel compassion.
And if that's what you need,
I will give you my compassion.

Open up your heart
So you can start to feel compassion.
Get down on your knees,
Pray to heaven for compassion.

Todd, you are beautiful.
Good time to listen to this!

BIG LOVE.
The alto matches Mr. Rundgren's voice precisely on his vocal breaks. :)
LOVE
Achingly moving.
Dios, Siento q me enamoré¡¡
Todd iz Godd
@newsy8 I think that's a good idea. I'd include "Love Is The Answer" to hymnals as well.

Mary Gleason I SO agree ❗❗❗
I wish you and 5victor7 the best of luck in fighting. Have faith in yourselves and you'll be ok.

can u post the link???
Not sure it's possible to be a Todd fan for too long...
Take me like I am.. that's the only catch
See 2:34
Michele corrupting him? Wow, way off base on that one.
Huh??
i thought the ladies did a great job. TR's harmonies are too high for a bunch guys to pull off.
@kahaki
Tread lightly; the blond "bimbo" is Todd's wife, Michelle.
One of the true greats , hard to believe he is not in the rock and roll hall of fame. Love his songs with Darel hall
I think his wife Michelle, corrupted him to a degree. Honestly, I think she is a negative influence
+DizziNY1 - I get what you are saying.
sara cheri How very sweet of you. I see you're a beacon of love and light. God bless you. I'm sorry you hate other people's opinions
Vicki Evjen I'm not saying she's bad but I have noticed a change in his music after they got hitched
I deleted my comment because it was a little over the top, but it made me a little angry. I see you walked your comment back some.which is good. However saying she corrupted Todd,and a negative influence is also saying she's bad .Unless you hang around them as a couple every day,you have no idea about their relationship.

sara cheri Ah no. I didn't walk my comment back at all
