Hello it's me

This is definitely one of my favorite songs of ALL TIME. There must be over 100, but it doesn't matter. It's one of those songs that has been important in my life. That I felt ~INTENSELY~ & that was in my head for a long, long time. During different times & situations, in relation to different people, but always with the same intensity. In fact I made this little graphic about 6 years ago



That was a really fun night btw, & I saw the person I was thinking so much about : D
Anyways...

Hello, it's me
I've thought about us for a long, long time
Maybe I think too much but something's wrong
There's something here that doesn't last too long
Maybe I shouldn't think of you as mine

Seeing you
Or seeing anything as much as I do you
I take for granted that you're always there
I take for granted that you just don't care
Sometimes I can't help seeing all the way through

It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
& spend the night if you think I should

It's important to me
That you know you are free
'Cause I never want to make you change for me

Think of me
You know that I'd be with you if I could
I'll come around to see you once in a while
Or if I ever need a reason to smile
And spend the night if you think I should

Think of me...
Think of me...
Think of me...

- "HELLO IT'S ME", TODD RUNDGREN

I came to know the track through The Virgin Suicides. @ 1 point the boys call the girls & play this song right away, they put the phone next to the record player without saying anything. Since it begins saying "Hello it's me", it's totally fitting. The music, vocals & feel just EXUDE 70s love. If I'm not mistaken, Todd Rundgren later went on2 do very different things from this song, such as produce the Ramones.
