Todd Rundgren-Time Heals (1983)

[@kings-bay-2902]

A real musical treasure , I remember his Runt album came out ... his music is the soundtrack of my life

[@Andregrindle]

How many pop songs over the years deal with a topic as broad as the limits of human empathy? Not as many as you'd think. Thank you Todd!

[@kevinmcnamara2082]

Side note-- did a job for his sister in swarthmore ,pa. I was like whoaaa your brother is kinda a badass in my mind!!! She laughed and said yeah but can you unclog my toilet? I looked at her toilet and said “hello it’s me”....😄

[@georgetrapp6666]

Flashback to the days I turned on MTV, and this was playing almost every time I switched to the channel. We were also a family that was late to the cable TV craze.

[@ElMeroChano]

What I wouldn’t do to go back to the 80’s,,,,I remember growing up in a small town in the pan-handle in Texas, nothing there but an arcade, roller rink, and high school football, we couldn’t wait till nighttime when we would get some AM channel on the radio from Chicago,,,lol, thank goodness for cable,, How times have changed,,,

[@imautopian]

His songs are timeless and forever recorded in my heart..thank goodness

[@reviewerchick123]

This song helped me with a breakup, thank you 🙏🏾

[@intuantu]

This was my first exposure to Todd. Someone mentioned this sounding like Hall & Oates, which is funny, because when "Your Kiss Is On My List" came out, I was shocked at how much it sounds like "Time Heals."

[@Abymen1]

Alex Hicks He produced "War Babies - Hall & Oates" album And yes you're right sounds a lot like them

[@intuantu]

I have that album, mainly because I'm a Willie Wilcox fan. That was his first recording, I think.

[@ManOutofTime913]

He's actually personal friends with Daryl Hall, funnily enough. You can find them doing casual recording sessions, in Hall's house, of their old songs here on KZbin.

[@jerbojones]

I've always thought this had a Hall and Oates vibe.

[@benjaminscisly4560]

Best todd song

[@kingkholera]

bizarre early music videos are the best music videos.

[@danblo-dl8hl]

Like The Boy in the Bubble.

[@lonerspop]

The greatest song ever to have an utter war crime of a music video

[@mexton]

Love this song

[@shanebailey340]

God...this is so melodic!

[@bennydanielz8762]

Miss the 80's

[@frankstoeffler4006]

In 1996, a band I worked for tried to project Dali paintings behind them. Two things worked against them... they needed a brighter bulb and they were projecting on a black wall behind their stage. Yet, I thought... remembered a music video from 1983 with a song in 1981 by Todd Rundgren. Then also remembered a scene from the movie, Toys, with Robin Williams using the same images on a fake music video. Still.. I love this song. Gordie

I know, the lyrics in this tune are amazing.

[@incognito7479]

Todd is God's gift for those with an ear.

[@imautopian]

That's so well said..it's the way I see him also.

[@Janster59]

Thank you Todd

[@ASO7467]

So different from his earlier music, but still love it.

[@camdetwiler938]

Even in the 80s he had a great pop sound. I've always heard him as the 3rd member of Hall and Oates.

[@s.ferres6194]

@@camdetwiler938 H&O were 2 and 3rd of Todd...a decidedly higher step

[@darrenbethell7451]

Fantastic song from the master 1981 from healing

[@tyrese3745]

You made a mistake. "Time Heals" is from the early 1981 album, "Healing".

[@alanvallazza9781]

The video was played the first day of MTV.

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

[@walkerbrothersmusic]

this song is from "Healing" 1981 not Tortured Artist Effect. 8th video on MTV and was added after the album was completed and including as a 45 b/w Tiny Demons in the vinyl version.

[@dogzdude]

Yes. I didn't notice the included 45 for a few days after I was listening to the album!

[@italia1392]

el mejor artista que ha existido desde el origen de los tiempos!!

[@BigSpecialK23]

Wow, crazy how much this sounds like Hall and Oats

[@rg2027x]

great Todd. what a video! Time heals the wounds no one can see'..it's true. In time you forget all about it. Though getting there isn't nearly 1/2 as fun ; )-~

[@childrensentertainment7667]

People want to see an Alien.....And that is why Todd is successful.

[@alexrinaldi3257]

i just cant stop listening to this i think i broke the repeat button

[@artrock101]

Todd produced (and played on) a H&O record before they were famous... coincidence?!

[@RoccoGibson330]

I wonder how many of the paintings are Dali's. Great tribute to Surrealism!!

[@jsilence418]

He's a genius and he's had more haircuts than hits .

[@BenjaminBowling777]

Umm...this song came out in 1981, not 1983. It was one of the many first videos aired on MTV's debut broadcast on August 1, 1981. Also, the live concert video Utopia Royal oak 4-3-81

[@Kwinquark1]

.......and was the freebie 45 you got free with 'Healing' - in the UK anyways

[@Kohntarkosz]

This video was my first exposure to work of Salvador Dali and Rene Magritte

[@RobertC19850209]

not 1983, this was played within the first few hours of MTV's launch in 1981

[@SN-nh6pq]

Song came out in 1981

[@lancethrustworthy]

This is one of those videos that needs a 'Love' button. Oh well.

[@punkimiko]

Like the 3rd video ever to air on mtv in the 80's.

[@bryanhayes1218]

Signature .. Hall & Oates Guitar riff.. and Daryl Hall vocal style

[@danblo-dl8hl]

Actually it's from Healing.

[@bunnyhead71]

from "Healer" 1981

[@noitigrado]

If you're bleeding, Then everyone can see you're bleeding They can call for the doctor, Who'll provide what the diagnosis says you're needing Then he'll take away your pain But if your heart, Your heart has been broken And you don't wear it on your sleeve No one can tell, Your hell goes unspoken But there's one thing you must believe Time heals the wounds no one can see Time heals the wounds that no one can see If you're crying Then everyone can see you crying And they all sympathize But it just doesn't matter Though they may be trying, They can't feel the hurt inside You can't go on, You've gone to the limit And your life seems to slip away You're on your own Alone you must face it And tomorrow's so far away You got to hold on baby Got to give it time to heal Time heals the wounds that no one can see You must believe what they say is true It do's wonders for ya, yeah, yeah Songwriters: Todd Rundgren

[@lesliekelley5969]

This song is from 1981 instead of 1983.This is one of the videos that aired on MTV on August 1,1981.

[@Rebmetpes4]

1981

[@brnsie]

Actually it's from his album "Healing"

[@luvBHIC]

I thought this was the 2nd video to air on MTV, after Video Killed The Radio Star, no? Anyway this is one of my TR faves :)

[@jeffflinn2053]

+luvBHIC: Eighth actually, but who's counting? LOL. It was the first truly artistic video on MTV. The rest of the first day MTV videos were just a bunch of bands playing instruments, or staging some corny shots, in a vid studio somewhere.

[@luvBHIC]

+Jeff Flinn Ah gotcha! Thanks for the clear up!

[@jordapen]

+luvBHIC You can find the playlist for the first day at Wikipedia.

[@JacobRClark]

+Jeff Flinn Definitely the more interesting of this bill of fare on MTV's first day. Funny to run into here, well, maybe not!

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

That was Pat Benatar's "You Better Run" as the second music video to follow the Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star".

[@tommykovac1360]

1981 actually!

[@diceytrust2768]

If MTV showed this in 1982 as one of the first videos on the channel, how is it that the title has it dated as 1983?

[@kingkholera]

This video also lists the wrong album, Time Heals was the A-side to a 7" promo included with the original vinyl copies of Healing. Either way, I'm appreciative of the uploader for providing us with a quality song and a fun music video.

[@tyrese3745]

It was from the 1981 album Healing.

[@rollomaughfling380]

What's this "1983" nonsense?

[@diceytrust2768]

That's what I said too.

[@fosterboo1]

Great old video!....one of the original first-day videos from MTV. Are you able to upload it in higher video resolution? Thanks again!

[@MrJadePinwheel]

great song- although this is from the healing album, not 'the ever popular'

[@joshuakirschenbaum417]

as far as i know it's really 1981 either that or 1980

[@incognito7479]

Joshua Kirschenbaum Who cares?

[@luizfelipels7]

I do. And it's definitely 1981. References: [1] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healing_(Todd_Rundgren_album) [2] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_first_music_videos_aired_on_MTV

way early Mtv.....next to lindsey Buckingham insane video,Fleetwood Mac hold on ......patrick

[@InflatablePlane]

Is it me or does that sound like it should be a Hall and Oates song? Rundgren sounding oddly like Daryl Hall in this.

[@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9]

Maybe because Todd Rundgren, Daryl Hall and John Oates are Philadelphians, and Todd Rundgren produced albums for Daryl and John including War Babies, the self-titled album where they appear in Glam and makeup, and possibly, Bigger Than The Both Of Us.
