Todd Rundgren, "Sweeter Memories"On: Something/Anything? (1972)
What the song is about: Learning to walk the fine line between realism and optimism. Life is hard, and you should anticipate the rough spots...but the the sweet spots are there too, and (even though it can really difficult at times) you should focus on them.
Why I've been listening to it: I just got Something/Anything? on vinyl ($1 bitches--yowee!). I'm familiar with most of the album but I'd never listened to it from start to finish. "Sweeter Memories" was a stand-out track for me....I love that TR really belts out the song, like he really wants people to hear his words and live their lives better.....
Best lyric: The song boils down to TR's fortune cookie advice on filtering life's memories--"Take the good, leave the bad." Easier said than done I guess....
