Without question one of the most beautiful pop songs of all time. Todd wrote some stellar songs in the early 70s that are impossible to forget. This song totally mesmerised a sickly, malnourished little 8 year old back in 1972. I didn’t even understand some of the lyrics 😂 yet I clung onto it and that gorgeous melody, wonderful percussive rhythm and the pretty vocal backing harmonies as if it shone biblical rays of hope to banish the hunger, torment and suffering for better days ahead. Possibly my earliest recollection of a song to call my own ❤

Todd Rundgren sparks memories of bright summer days and breezy summer nights every time his music plays. The memories it piques are warm and full of images of smiling friends, quiet eyes looking back at me with admiration, love and genuine care. I seldom have these memories with other music but something about his melodies and lyrics kick starts a nostalgia unequaled by any other artist. The Horse country of Kentucky is sublime on summer evenings, and we cruised those byways with nary a care in the world. Most all my friends then were cool people, escaping the pending adulthood for as long as we could. Alas,it finally caught up with all of us, but Todd helped us fend off responsibility for another golden day and another sultry night.

This album was an immense part of my 70s and 80s. I kept it in constant rotation and I still love it

This song reminds of a hot summer night spent with a beautiful young lady in Chicago back in 1972 which didn’t happen . Great memories.

How cool for 1972. Todd was ahead of his time as far as pop music went. He didn't sound 60's or even 70's. Compare this groove to that of, say, Santana with Michelle Branch doing "Game of Love" in 2002. Breezy, melodic, head-fixing music. And Todd is only 72. He can still rock.

This song helps me every day ❤
