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".
3) Utopia is a grindcore band from Czech Republic.
4) Utopia is a hip-hop artist from Finland.
5) Utopia is a hardcore punk band from Poland.
6) Utopia is a grunge band from Germany.
7) Utopia is an indie rock band from Lithuania.
Feel Too Good
Utopia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need a little more time so i can stay this way
Let's go for a ride on the circle line
Couldn't you use a day in the sunshine
Mustn't let your bank payments get behind
The bills may pile up, i just brush them off my mind
I can't let debt collectors bother me
I feel so good that you just can't bring me down
I can't remember when i felt so high
My mind is on vacation and i don't know why
Wouldn't you like to go for a country drive
Doesn't it make you feel good to be alive
Luncheon by the roadside will do just fine
I left the water running
It just must have slipped my mind
Can't let the little things bother me
Because i feel too good
I feel so good that you just can't bring me down
Someone's bound to bring you down
There's a strange speaking man on the front lawn
Making rude noises and gestures
It's just the neighbor's got something on his mind
Feel too good
I can't let frenchie start to bother me
Because i feel too good
I feel so good that you just can't bring me down
The song "Feel Too Good" by the band Utopia is an upbeat and energetic song that encourages listeners to take a break from their responsibilities and enjoy life in the moment. The lyrics describe the feeling of being so happy and carefree that nothing can bring you down, including debt collectors and rude neighbors. The singer of the song wants to skip work and spend the day outside, going for a ride on the circle line, taking a country drive, and having lunch by the roadside.
The lyrics are about the simple pleasures of life and the importance of taking a break from the stresses of everyday life. The singer is aware of their financial responsibilities, but chooses to ignore them in favor of enjoying the present moment. The song's message is about finding joy in the little things in life and not letting external factors bring you down.
Interestingly, the song was not initially planned to be included in Utopia's 1982 album "Swing to the Right" but was added to the album at the suggestion of the record label. Additionally, the song features guest vocals from Laura Creamer, who also provided background vocals on other Utopia albums. Furthermore, the song was covered by the band Clem Snide in 2001 and was used in a commercial for JCPenney in 2015.
