Todd Rundgren: Singer / Songwriter

" Parallel Lines "

Kindred spirits moving along the spiral

I can see you up on another level

It's too great a fall

And I can't reach you to pull me higher

But I don't seem to get much closer or any more far

What would you tell me, if I could hear you speaking?

If you could touch me, how would I know the feeling?

I just can't imagine

But I try to do it anyway

I wish I was moving faster, I wish you'd drift back

But it just wasn't meant to happen

Very soon I'll have to

Face the fact

Some things never come together

Parallel lines running on forever

And you can't turn back

There is never any starting over

Parallel lines never do cross over

It's a challenge

Gotta make myself remember

Facing the truth, well, that doesn't mean surrender

What is bravado and how much is a force of will?

I know that the world is full of opposites that attract

But unless we ignore the physics

Very soon we'll have to

Face the fact

Some things never come together

Parallel lines running on forever

And you can't turn back

There is never any starting over

Parallel lines never do cross over

(So I send you the gift of empathy)

(If you'd once in your life acknowledge me)

(I have visualized so thoroughly)

(That when I think of me I think of we) -- Les N Lyle

Can't face the truth

It means that we must surrender

Understanding won't satisfy the hunger

It whittles away at the destiny we fulfill

And like an animal running wild

You can't call it back

And it's just gonna make it harder

When it's finally time to

Face the fact

Some things never come together

Parallel lines running on forever

And you can't turn back

There is never any starting over

Parallel lines never do cross over

Parallel lines never do cross over

It's like a train that's stuck running on a track

Parallel lines running on, running on, running on

Part of Todd's genius is that he can compose a lyric and melody that get stuck in your head.This is one of those songs.

This is one of Todd's finest songs, and what a wonderful performance.

Stripped of the 1980's synthesizer heavy arrangement on the Nearly Human album, this becomes a real showpiece for Todd's songwriting and singing. Gives me chills every time I hear it. Nice to see the future Michele Rundgren as well as Utopia alum Kasim Sulton on the background vocals. (BTW, the last two lines of the lyrics in the doobly doo are only on the original Nearly Human CD version). This program should have never been cancelled. If the UK can have Later with Jools Holland why can't we have a decent music show too?

I had just seen this a few months ago, and it is really a wonderful rendition of a wonderfully underrated and underheard song. Elegant and melancholy all at once.

My god. Only 3, 493 views. So many people not discovering anything decent outside their little world of itunes and radio playlists broadcasting to the masses.
