1) Utopia, sometimes known as Todd Rundgren's Utopia, was the band Todd Rundgren formed in the early 70s to play epic progressive rock. Like many progressive bands, they eventually simplified their sound into a sort of sophisticated New Wave and experienced some success in the early MTV era with humorous videos.
The band as an entity covered all styles of music. From rock, country, pop, classical and beyond. The vocal ability of the band overall was supreme; with only Queen even coming close to range and flexibility at that time.
All members are still quite alive and very active with their own projects. Todd Rundgren continuously produces and is always at the cutting edge with computers. Roger Powell works for Apple in a high level position within their music department and Willie Wilcox produces for many artists. Kasim Sulton has his own bass model and consistenly works in music with numerous artists.
Both Todd Rundgren and Kasim Sulton participated in the formation of The New Cars, replacing original members Ric Ocasek and the now-deceased Benjamin Orr. This continued Rundgren's fascination with creating songs and sounds that mimicked other bands' works (see Utopia's Deface the Music for the band's tribute to the Beatles). The New Cars toured and released one album, which contained only three original songs (all others were live performances of The Cars hits).
2) Utopia is a pop rock band from Bandung, Indonesia. Formed on August 8, 2003, the band consists of Pia (female vocals), Indra (bass), Dodo (guitars), and Tommy (drums). As of now, the band has released three albums (in order of release date): "Utopia", "Kekal", and "Indah".

Crybaby
Utopia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You said cry to me, cry to me
There you stood, laughing at my tears
You said, silly boy, forget your childhood fears
But you don't realize how strange it makes me feel
Now we're exchanging parts
Stop, you're breaking my heart
Who's the crybaby now
Cry to me, cry
Who's the crybaby, who's breaking my heart
Lie to me, you know that I know you too well
So don't you lie to me, lie to me
I watch you from afar, crying up your sleeve
When they turn away,
you wipe your eyes and leave
But you don't realize how cruel it makes you seem
Now we're exchanging roles
Stop, I'm losing control
Who's the crybaby now
Cry to me, cry to me, you're the crybaby now
Cry to me, cry
Who's the crybaby, who's breaking my heart
In Utopia's song Crybaby, the lyrics explore the concept of power dynamics in relationships and how they can shift and change over time. The song starts with the singer being told to cry by their partner, who is belittling their emotions and dismissing their fears. As the song progresses, the power dynamic begins to shift and the singer witnesses their partner crying in secret, revealing that they too have vulnerabilities and fears. The singer realizes that their partner's attempts to appear strong and in control are actually a facade, and they themselves have become the stronger and more confident party. The lyrics culminate with the singer reclaiming their power and asking their partner who the real crybaby is now.
The use of repetition in the chorus emphasizes the power struggle between the two people, with each one trying to assert dominance over the other. The contrast between the upbeat instrumentals and the introspective lyrics create a unique and interesting dynamic that captures the complexity of relationships and human emotions.
