Todd Harry Rundgren (born June 22, 1948) is an American multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and record producer. Hailed in the early stage of his career as a new pop-wunderkind, supported by the certified gold solo double LP Something/Anything? in 1972, Todd Rundgren's career has produced a diverse range of recordings as solo artist, and during the seventies and eighties with the band Utopia. He has also been prolific as a producer and engineer on the recorded work of other musicians.
During the 1970s and 1980s, Rundgren engineered and/or produced many notable albums for other acts, including Straight Up by Badfinger, Stage Fright by The Band, We're an American Band by Grand Funk Railroad, Bat Out of Hell by Meat Loaf, and Skylarking by XTC. In the 1980s and 1990s his interest in video and computers led to Rundgren's "Time Heals" being the eighth video played on MTV, and "Change Myself" was animated by Rundgren on commercially available Amiga Computers.
His best-known songs include "Hello It's Me" and "I Saw the Light" which have heavy rotation on classic rock radio stations, and "Bang the Drum All Day" featured in many sports arenas, commercials, and movie trailers. Although lesser known, "Couldn't I Just Tell You" has had a major influence on artists in the power pop musical genre.
Like a melody that is impossible to play, I wait
In my memory there's a part of you that's gone away, yeah
To keep my mind from wondering
I'm wondering
to keep myself on falling in
I'm following
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
I'd tell you anything if i had anything to say, yeah
i keep it bottled in 'cause there's a time and there's a place for this, yeah
i keep my story where it is
an act as if
I don't even know what it is
when all i need is
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
Something Anything just to keep believing
Just to keep on breathing for a moment longer
