• Leisha from Melbourne, AustraliaHey funny story, I thought this song was about kids!! HA HA HA HA! silly me!
• Clemencedane from New YorkI came here trying to find out more about those funny thuddy drums - anyone know what kind of drums they are?
• Lost In Love from UsThis song always makes me reminisce of my sweet younger days as a 17 year old in love with the most beautiful boy with the most amazing brown eyes. We fell in and out (just him) of love. I remember hoping he would look for me me one last time so I could see the light in his eyes, but the timing was off and it never happened. So I was broken heartbroken.
• Jeff Dean from Lithgow Nsw AustraliaThis is one of my favourite songs of all time.
• Evan from Baltimore, MdThis song was released three months before my father died of a massive heart attack at age 46. I was just 11 years old when it happened. After my father's death in 1972, that year was a blur for me, but this song is forever intertwined with my memory of my father and the profound sorrow I felt then. Yet, whenever I hear it now I can smile because I recall liking it instantly and it helps me remember how much I loved him.
• Sandy from Sydney Australia I heard this song playing in a shop the other day and it took me straight back to 1972 when I first met my now deseased husband. I loved the song then and although I haven’t heard it for years, I still think it’s a great love song. So many memories.
• Gary from LondonIt's such a beautiful song but it always lands me back in Galway in 1979 as a doomed relationship was playing out its last few miserable scenes
• Rhino Djanghardt from EnglandI just heard the song as I was driving to work and whacked up the volume. I was so sure it was by George Harrison! The voice and slide guitar playing are so similar to Harrison's. Now I'm going to dust off a Todd Rundgren LP when I get home ...
• Mark from MichiganI've always called this the quintessential 3 minute love song.
• Brett from Piketon, OhAlways will remind me of my dad! He played this song when I was little in the car all the time!
• Brian from Boston, MaI had just assumed that Carol King wrote this for many years but I recently saw on Wikepedia that todd wrote this as an homage to Carol King.It is amazing how much it sounds like something she would write.
• Sarah from Kennewick, WaOh, I love this song so much. It's so great because it's realistic and I think most people can relate--we've all been burned by love in the past, ran out on love in the past, thought we would never find anyone special...then when you least expect it, here comes this wonderful person! Beautiful song about how love sometimes sneaks up on you.
• Lee from Huntsville, Alto me the song is about a guy and girl relationship n the guy goes in to it with no emotional expectation but gets a vibe from the girl that there is more to it and he sees it in hers eyes and then eventually she can see the same from his eyes. it's all in the eyes...the window to the soul. a really well written love song
• John from Andover, KsA great song, and one of Rundgren's best vocal efforts. Really one of the best pop songs of the early 70s.
• Federico from Mendoza, ArmeniaHello, I live in Argentina. Hce a little time while lead my car I heard in the radio this song and the recollections of my adolescence came suddenly to my head. This ballad was making me dream and always I was sorry that Todd was not very spread then here, being a great musician to sorrow that in Argentina there is listened good music, foreigner and place. put my 17-year-old daughter opposite to the computer and I her did oir Todd's songs and it(he,she) commented! Bark papi that good song! It is magnificent to share music with the children.

• Weavil from Wisconsin Rapids, WiTodd also re-did this Bossa Nova style as as the opening TRack for 1997's "With A Twist" http://trconnection.com/lyrics/Title.44.
  One of the first songs with harmony guitars to reach the masses, this number sparked a note in the head of Tom Scholtz who went on to form Boston and fire up harmony guitar lines in almost every song.
  This is also performed by The New Cars with Todd and Elliot Easton intertwining said lines quite nicely.
• Debra Derr from Dover, NjThis was covered by Hal Ketchum on his 1998 album, "I Saw The Light." It's a straight ahead homage to Todd, with just a little twang. Great cover.
• Brent from Miami, FlGreat, great song !!!
• Matt from Atlanta, United StatesTodd Rungren at his very best. My wife doesn't remember this song, so I play it every chance I get on those rare occasions when we're all alone!!!
  
  Actually, it pretty much sums up my feelings for her when we first met in college. Falling in love was the last thing on my mind, and we had a really rough go at it! I just couldn't fathom going steady, much less falling head over heel's. Clearly, she got the last laugh!!!
