| Todd Rundgren – Love Of The Common Man Lyrics
| 6 years ago
|
@[S3v3ns:31971] This song has one of my favorite lines ever in a lyric "Said we all know what comes of that
Living in your pockets and talking through your hat"....rates right up there with the famous Grateful dead line " Every once in a while you get shown the light... in the strangest of places and if you look at it right" |

| Todd Rundgren – Sometimes I Don't Know What To Feel Lyrics

|
@[S3v3ns:31970] Todd wrote this after coming to the realization that is first love was gone and the soothing warm fire of love was being snuffed out in his heart. If you have ever been heartbroken, especially from a relationship that lasted years, you truly "don't know what to feel". |

@[rgforest:31969] I do not think there is anything tongue in cheek about it. It is really quite a heartfelt apology for apparently "objectifying" women in the song you mentioned. As he says "It has made me blind and deaf and weak but most of all
It shows you that I'm wrong". |

@[spookytooth:31968] Sure would love to hear Todd comment on this song. Often he just reads an article in a magazine or newspaper and then writes a masterpiece like this in short shift. |

@[force263:31967] Yes really an underrated work of art. Check out some of the instrumental covers on Youtube for this song, especially the fingerstyle guitar ones. Really complex beautiful melodies. |

@[KingRex:31966] Nah I completely disagree. Todd fell in love in high school. And it affected him deeply influencing many of his early love songs. He is remembering the magic of falling in love in this song and of course it was easy to put down because it was so much the dominant concern in his life. As first loves go, he gradually lost her and you can see his music becoming noticeably darker and more philosophical starting with the AWATS album. |

@[FatesWarning:31965] Yes. Todd has been very straightforward about this. He had a high school first love that lasted into his music career. He has stated that almost all of his early love songs are directly influenced by his feelings while he gradually lost her. I believe the relationship collapsed of it's own weight, however, as first loves often do. |
