LYRICS:
Open your eyes and see
The world I couldn't change for you
Reach out your hand and take
The world that will belong to you
We were on our way to a better day
And the spirit was in us all
But as time went by we fell by the wayside
Maybe you'll be the last to fall
You are the only ones
There is nobody left but you
You are the chosen ones
There is nobody else to choose
Back when I was young, my hope was strong
But the time blew it all to hell
If I thought I knew what was good for you
I would have gone and done it for myself
Worlds of tomorrow
Life without sorrow
Take it because it's yours
Sons of 1984
I can still see the great panorama of hate
Being cleansed by our loving hands
But the brothers broke stride, the sisters cried
Now you have to start all over again
I walked in the middle of a snow storm to the record shop in Erie Pa. No shit it was 3 miles one way. But I got the album and loved it ever since
My all time favorite Todd song. The man could do it all: Musician, Songwriter, Producer, Engineer. Multitalented.
Man oh man, this whole album. It was 1975, I had a '67 Buick Rivera with an 8-track deck with an amp and graphic. I could cruise till the wheels fell off. Nothing could hurt me, I was invincible, just like every other 17 year old. Now I'm 61 and wondering where it all went but the music lives forever.
"Man oh man, this whole album"
You're right.. gotta play this whole album through - was much easier with 8-track (or CD now.. I forget if is single) than with four sides of vinyl... which I (amazingly) just found in the crate - will put it on.. the (minor) scratches add charactes... which reminds me of "Sounds of the Studio" from Something/Anything (will put that on later...).
Your not the only one man I miss the old days.
@@jamescarey2367 good music and a good sangwish
You're dream lives on forever... 😘

What a wonderful album this was! Truly an elpee's worth of toons
Absolutely wonderful.
I was 12 when "We got you a Women" came out and I began to "dig" Todd. By the time I was 17 I had acquired all of Todd's records along with the prog Utopia records. It was about the time that this album came out I at age 15 began to realize that this dude was a genius of the highest order. By the time Initiation and the Utopia records came out there was no longer any doubt.
@@richardanderson7387 I recently (well, last 12 months anyway. When you're in your 60's, recently means something different from when you're in your 20's) I listened to the Todd Rundgren/Rick Wakeman cover of *Welcome to the Machine* - even in his 70's, Todd still sounds good.
Anyway, we're still waiting for "worlds of tomorrow, life without sorrow."
Last music I bought... loved this song. Then I raised a family, travelled the world, now I am an old man and still cranked it up for my granddaughters.
best song ever after JUST ONE VICTORY todd rundgren
Yes-yes-yes! It still baffles me how J.O.V. isn't recognised as a great anthem. Maybe 'cos it's pre-internet.
To me it's a cool song also for sons of 2024!
This song was recorded live in the summer of 1972 in Golden Gate park in SF, and Todd had the crowd sing along for some parts. I was there, stage right!
I was in Central Park
Lucky You
Actually, summer of ‘73.
Looking through his songs i never realized how aware he was. All the same themes in they live. No wonder they didnt hype him up. They made sure history would only remember him as the "hello it's me" guy. Would be fascinating to know how he got into all that stuff.
He was very prophetic in sons of 1984. Frighteningly so. This is for the millennials and beyond. 🙏
Mid 70's, working at the Grand Canyon. In one of the bathroom stalls, someone had scratched in 'Todd is God'. I knew whom they meant. Not long after, I applied for a cabin to stay in instead of a dorm room, with a guy I barely knew. We figured if we pretended to be a couple, we could have the cabin, meant for 3, just for the 2 of us. Once we moved in, I found out he was a bigtime Todd fan, and he told me about his bathroom artwork. I picked a roomie with excellent taste in music, which was, of course, high on the list of priorities!
@@nancyneptune542 love yourself.
I am a literal son of 1984. What a cool song…and I remember people telling us first millennials how our generation was the last of the century and how we were going to change the world.
In my jr. School my future nieghbors wife gave me this album at school.
My dad named my brother after Todd Rundgren, I was named after Paul McCartney, I got the short end of the stick.
I wanted to name my daughter Todde, but my mom talked me out of it
Well, you did ok, I think! I mean, imagine if you dad was really, really, really into Tony Orlando and Dawn....
!!!!!! Todd!!!
ahhhhh Todd is prophetic. refreshing
Thank you Todd.
I've always loved the echo/reverb on this song. It sounds so much like the acoustics of the venues I visited in my youth. It's very much alive.
it is recorded live at a show, great gig cant remember the name
I heard Todd via my older sister's friends... didn't realise it until more than 10 years later when I discovered his albums following me around 😁
Brings back memories of my youth
アイデア💡が素晴らしい👍
Toddらしい曲の構成
thanks🎉
Magic ✳️✳️🎤🎤🎵🎵
Todd's band so tight.
The beginnings of Utopia and The Sales brothers al9 g with the Brecker bros.Todd chose the choicest.of session musicians. A d yet, he remained un derapprecitedas a pure genius. Folks just don't know and certainly don't appreciate Todd's contribution to the rock canon.
@@whitlowjohnonly1_2 Yup! Sales brothers are not on this album, though. Kevin Ellman and John Siegler here.
one of my favorite love it to bits
Thank you for posting. Memories of my youth✌🏻👍🏻
I saw him at the Berklee Performance Center For The Arts some years ago performing both this album and his Healing album each in their entirety. I've seen him in concert a bunch of times including with The New Cars, but that show in particular was phenomenal. Artists in general seem to find that "full album" format quite fun and stimulating compared to simply dragging out their "hits" of which Todd has had quite a few despite his ambivalence toward them.
A man would simply have to be as mad as a hatter
To try to change the world with a plastic platter
Sons of 1984 was for the millennials. Fact.
Listen closely. It's for you.😔😥🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
This should be the anthem for every American who thinks trump and his gang of thugs is an abomination!
Just listen to the lyrics. You still don't get it.
This song has nothing to do with that
