"evrybody" by Todd Rundgren

Evrybody, one word becomes a call to the whole world to set our differences aside and just have a good time. A stirring Rundgren anthem to start off his newest compilation. Ever since it was announced Todd Rundgren’s GLOBAL has been one of his most anticipated releases. With a wealth of exceptional material, this compilation of all new music has songs that could be appreciated by everyone. The tone of this opus is light and friendly and shows a warmer side of Todd. For example in SKYCRAPER, with fellow Utopian Kasim Sulton on vocal harmonies, he calls out to someone to “come on down from your skyscraper, why don’t you come on down and join the party” because “ we’re singing oldies and drinking cold beer”. This is as friendly an admonition you could get only from a dear friend all wrapped in 70s Philadelphia style dance beat. EVRYBODY starts off the fun with one of those rock anthems that Todd does so well. FLESH AND BLOOD is for me the sleeper of the set with its spacey beat coupled with lyrical magic as Todd calls to the faithful that “you’ve got free will but you’re flesh and blood, you can’t stand still because your flesh and blood”. Being human never sounded more fun and yet noble. HOLYLAND calls to everyone to accept the whole planet as a “holy land” to care for it and each other, and call an end to hate a division. SOOTHE has already found an audience through internet hosted sneak previews. It is a love letter from Todd to all his listeners. Sing shout it, tell the world about it , GLOBAL is live, and the truth is it is one of Todd’s special moments , recorded for everybody, everywhere with ears to hear and a heart to feel.
