Blue Orpheus Lyrics


If you want to cry
You can always find something to cry about
It's so easy to be wise
Over someone elses tears
But you have a gift
That the rest of us just can't live without
And it's something in your voice
When you tell us how you feel
'Cause we've all loved something and lost it
And it's burning my heart
I can't open my mouth and just let it out
But when I hear my blue orpheus sing
I know that life is a wonderful thing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)
Somewhere there's love and perpetual spring
I know that life is a wonderful thing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)
Seems so long ago

The sound of your joy filled the atmosphere
We can make it on our own
But the road is so rocky and steep
And when you feel lost
No one tells you what you need to hear
And the only dream you have
Is the one thats in your sleep
'Cause we soon forget what were here for
I need someone to say, he's got dreams of his own
I'll know I'm not alone
I want to hear my blue orpheus sing
I'll know that life is a wonderful thing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)
Somewhere there's love and perpetual spring
I'll know life is a wonderful thing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)
I want to hear my blue orpheus sing
I'll know that life is a wonderful thing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)
Sing, you will one day be together again
Though you cannot see her
Sing, she is somewhere in the world
'Cause we've all loved something and lost it
And it's burning my heart
I can't open my mouth and just let it out
But when I hear my blue orpheus sing
I know that life is a wonderful thing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)
Somewhere there's love and perpetual spring
I know that life is a wonderful thing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)
But when I hear my blue orpheus sing
I know that life is a wonderful thing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)
Somewhere there's love and perpetual spring
I know that life can be a wonderful thing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)
Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)
My blue, my blue, my blue orpheus sing
(Sometimes, life is a wonderful thing)

Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as I Saw The Light and Hello It's Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.

Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd's ability in working with musicians.

For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He recently fronted, recorded and toured with the band The New Cars, which featured two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises. He toured with a strong band for this album, which included his long-time bassist Kasim Sulton, and former The Tubes drummer, Prarie Prince.

On September 29th, 2008 Rundgren released his 20th studio album "Arena" via Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK (Hi-Fi Recordings in the USA), to critical acclaim.

2011 found him covering Robert Johnsons songs on stage as well as on a CD called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson"
