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".

Love Alone
Utopia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nobody says it quite the same
Gives me a feeling I never knew
Makes me so happy loving her
Love and love alone
I'd wait a life just to have it here
Love is all I know and that can't be wrong
It's sometimes hard to see
There for a reason you want to share
To show somebody you care
Love and love alone
Conquers the world that can be so cold
Love is how we show just what we feel
It's enough for me can't say I need anything else
Love is here to be had by us all
Don't cheat yourself
I can say it now
Someday we'll all be there somehow
Everyone singing, love leads the way
'Til then I'm counting every day
Love and love alone
I'd wait a life just to have it here
Love is all I know and that can't be wrong
The lyrics of Utopia's song Love Alone express dedication and devotion towards love. The song starts with the singer describing the uniqueness in the way his lover calls his name. It gives him a feeling he never knew, and he is happy just by loving her. He states that love is all he knows and that this feeling can't be wrong. The lyrics emphasize that love isn't something that can be bought; it should be there for a reason to be shared and to show someone that you care. The song also talks about how love and love alone conquer the world, which can be so cold.
The chorus of the song highlights the wait for love, where the singer would wait for an entire lifetime just to have it with him. Love is the only thing he knows, and it can never be wrong. The song also acknowledges the fact that love isn't always easy to see, but it should always be there to make sure that it's shared with someone special. The last part of the song describes the unity in love, where everyone will eventually be there, singing that love leads the way. Until then, the singer keeps counting every day.

Todd was ALWAYS
sounding like this - harmony-wise -

This live piano version is vastly superior to the horrid synthesizer original on "Adventures"! For me the difference is like night and day.
