“A Dream Goes On Forever” by Todd Rundgren

"A Dream Goes On Forever" led off the singles from Todd, Todd Rundgren's 1974 double album on Bearsville, and Rundgren wrote every word and note of it himself. It made it to number 69 in the US, while the album stalled at 54.

It came at a strange point in his story. The record before it, A Wizard, a True Star, had been cut at his newly built Secret Sound Studios in Manhattan and bent out of shape by his psychedelic experiments, and the reviews were mixed; Rundgren said it was generally taken as career suicide. He spent the aftermath producing the New York Dolls' debut and Grand Funk Railroad's We're an American Band and building a new band, Utopia, for an ambitious stage show. Todd answered with more guitar and more synthesizer, and roughly half of it is Rundgren playing alone.
