Todd Rundgren - Shine (Lyrics Below) (HQ)

[@alandhopewell]

November, 2019; I'm in Cleveland, visiting my friend Dave, who's in hospice, stage four lung cancer. I have to head back to Texas, we've ironed out all the details of his funeral, all the nuts and bolts stuff, and it's time to say goodbye. Dave says, "Before you go, do something for me; play "Shine " by Todd". I pull it up on my phone, and we listen to it one last time. Forty-five years, a thousand adventures, wrapped up in a stellar piece of music. See you soon, Dave.

Rick Beato, where are you?? Todd is so beautiful and this has that crazy Lydian thing you love... Come on now! One of the best songs ever, ending could've been an extra on Kid A. Todd was SO ahead

Oh, the number of hours I spent listening to this song with my headphones, loud enough to hear the piano fade and reverse all the way ! And this orgiac ending with all the voices, guitars, horns, well, every bits and pieces of sound, in fact ! A true sonic whirlwind !

[@daveannettand348]

One of the best songs ever written and performed

[@Jimothy10]

Your comments still apply of course! C'mon shine you mothers shine!

[@Jimothy10]

I'm so pleased to find others who love this song. Todd often saves the best best til last. People may not agree but I love the denouement last verse of Something To Fall Back On.

I walked around NYC for months listening to this on repeat, I just couldn’t stop listening. It still moves me extremely. Listening to it after a long pause, should be asleep but the sky outside is silver from the moon and I can’t seem to sleep. Todd always gets back in my head, I take longish breaks and then one minute I just have to hear something, and then another and another, and I’m back in it again.

I have never been as blown away by a song in my life. I tried to sing along and I got mentally and emotionally overwhelmed and lost, not able to follow the lyrics. And I thought Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd was the epitome of artistry.

No, he isn't. He's good. But he's not God.
