[@rthominc]

At 68 he gives his time, talent, and treasure to be a blessing to others.....................God bless!!!!

[@petersokol1603]

This….is a fully formed musician and composer….sharing….he is a wonderful human being…I started playing at 12…. at 64 I still keep getting better everyday as a musician and composer….Fripp…Jeff Beck….Todd…..what I know could fit in a thimble…what I have yet to learn….could empty a ocean….these men and their dedication to their passion….led me down this path.

[@sultanoftippoo3857]

Fabulous and incisive post.

[@cmoore56]

Todd Rundgren is a a genius. Period.

[@sunnyseacat9232]

These vocals are sublime genius, yes!

[@tobes911]

Exactly 😊💯

[@bellican48]

Agree I so love this

[@Arturo-sm1tb]

Not to mention a great human being. Very few in the world like Todd.

[@garywilliams1747]

This guy always astounds me. Such a brilliant muso who doesn't think twice about giving up his time to share his experience/talent with anyone. A gem.

[@carolynmariedimmick7884]

That's just the way Todd rolls. He always has been and will always remain a class act in all ways.

[@bobgil3464]

He’s good but I like the Darrell Hall version more.

[@mjklein]

He's just as nice in person.

[@bellican48]

I so agree with you

[@YouraWildManGeorge]

Todd believes in cultivating the musical talents of future musicians, and he will share his assets, incl. this masterpiece written by Todd, and performed by younger talent in various schools, and even shared it with Darrell Hall, in a session at "Darrell's House" where they sang it together 🎉

[@myoung48281]

That song is from heaven, no human could write something so beautiful.

[@le_th_]

I think he must have the purest heart.

[@Chloe-th2lg]

What a thrill this must have been for all these young people. Something they will never forget. I'm so jealous! Love this artist!

[@bradsmack1]

I'd love to poll the kids to see how many actually knew who Todd was when it was announced he was coming! I may be cynical, but if a small handful did anything but say, "Who?", I'd be shocked. The good news is they must have been impressed, and hopefully, did a deep dive into the interwebs to discover, first-hand, the genius of Todd! therunnersports.com/todd-rundgrens-greatest-hits-former-minor-league-ballplayers-rex-and-randy-rundgren/

[@tobes911]

[@michellerjackson5776]

Beautiful..I'm in tears each time I watch this. Some very fortunate kids..what a great opportunity for them. TR 👍💕

[@jamespriest9658]

Made me cry too, and I have seen Todd perform this song in the neighborhood of 30 or more times live, but this version really got me. Luv ya Todd, cause I know you love me back.

[@michellerjackson5776]

@@jamespriest9658 ~ 2020 hoping you are finding comfort in these crazy days- Love IS the Answer!( So simple)

[@mariaalbano1440]

Michelle, me too. Teary eyed.

[@tillyny]

I've always loved this song...hearing it sung by a chorus a Capello just gives me chills!!!

[@ramp7t]

I appreciate this song more each time I hear it.

[@ericpeabody1555]

And this song still makes me tear up thinking of loves lost everytime I hear it. Thanks Todd and crew :)

[@cmoore56]

This is exactly what happens to me whenever I hear it. I sometimes feel a sense of regret which makes me sad. But I still love it.

[@johnstratton7470]

I can relate to this song I went through a divorce in 2014 it was hard I have my regrets but at least me and my ex wife are still friends

[@mariainnj]

same...

[@ranatlas]

Nicely done - great to see some college kids getting into Todd's music.

[@danf4447]

[@Redwoods4Ever]

I got the goose bumps...SO Beautiful!! So Inspiring for these young students! I have always loved Todd Rundgren!

[@teresahale7616]

[@jamesmorgan2064]

Y ep

[@Jrpyro-hm2vs]

Todd what an amazing singer I have loved this music ever since the 70s thank you for giving us your amazing talent

[@barbarabrimer9885]

Todd, I LOVE your music and ALL of your songs. I am now 66 years young and still remember listening to you when I was in Junior High school. (1968-71). You are definitely one of the best, if not the best. I wish you well.

[@michaeldeane9029]

The structure of this song was si ahead if its time. Brilliant

[@foun10head]

"We awoke from our dreams..." Reminds me of Madrigals in high school. A cappella is incredible and innocent. Love seeing the young ones show some connection to the song. Amazing. They don't even know its full significance yet. It's not just "another song." It grows on you over time. Thank you for sharing. Iconic.

[@benwells3052]

One of the most beautiful songs ever written , musically speaking TODD IS GODD !!!!

[@ramp7t]

Has aged well

[@youcrazycat1]

Todd is God!

[@Blackmountaingal1]

I was about 8 or 9 when Hello It's Me was on the airwaves. I liked the song then and have rediscovered the magic of Todd Rundgren. I came across a KZbin video of Pia Salvia performing Can We Still Be Friends. That was the 1st time I had ever heard that song....It TOUCHED my Soul. Todd you have a new Devotee.....Bless you!

[@fredsakersky8366]

A great musician and a very nice man too!

[@1thepner]

It's Jan 2020...and honest to God, I've got chills! Todd, a gift that goes on and on....

[@missjune1955]

Still listening February 2022

[@jaynehoese6093]

[@rommelbernardo4204]

When you never get tired of sharing your talent & creation to young people so they can grow. That is the ultimate contribution for an artist.

[@janetpartyka5968]

The kids look like they are enjoying themselves.

[@foun10head]

Yes, but they don't know life is about to overpower them. It's all good.

Love the collegiate vibe at the beginning of the song. It's like stepping on the campus for the first time. What details? You either get this song and its sentiment or you don't. Period. And it's amazing if you get it.
